  • This week I'm bashing a stock On30 Bachmann passenger coach into a fun little 20' car with no shortage of personality. This is a build I started way back in 2016 and have finally got around to finishing. What took me so long? Hope you all enjoy as I take you through the project step by step.
    Thanks for watching, amigos!

    Oh my gosh coaches like this would work perfectly with thunder Mesa!

    Love the fact that even the inside of the coach contains passengers with the clever backstory that fits so perfectly with the rest your masterpiece of a layout. All the wonderful details where you are telling a story with your craft are mindblowingly awesome! :)

    Perfect. So perfect that I wouldn't be surprised if a full scale one suddenly appeared at Disneyland in a majestic incidence of life imitating art.

    To the guy with the two young boys that I met on the train from the Grand Canyon to Williams, I hope you found this channel. Happy modeling!

    I found your channel by chance the other morning while waiting to take my 4am morphine medication
    I was blown away by the content as it were as if someone had read my mind and built my layout
    I have subscribed to your TH-cam channel and I’m enjoying slowly working my way through your entire back catalogue of uploads
    I can escape from all my day to day problems and immerse myself into the world of Thunder Mesa absolutely pain free and full of smiles and for that I thank you

    I like that rack...reminds me of the bus I rode in Mexico once...had a rack just like that one. I would have probably used a Grandt caboose ladder on the end platform instead of the side ladder though. That's just me. Nice build...just might do something similar....maybe a combine....hmmm, yup, gotta give it a try.

    Hehe, who would've thought that a shorty car could have such personality. Makes me think of the "Vacation" movies; that lil' car is on a mission.

    Loved it! That's the fun of this hobby for me: doing things differently-the artwork and imagination. Those who disparage freelance stuff and "funky railroading" should be slapped on the mouth with a full scale Shay Steam Engine.

    Thanks Dave. This video has just inspired me to something I have wanted to do for a loong time. Cut down a couple of coaches. As I have said before, you have a great talent to inspire.

    @railwaykangaroo6196 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Honestly putting luggage on the roof makes it kind of like the coaches on the Wildlife Express train in Disney's Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World. Anyone would think it was inspired by that I certainly did at first. I like it to be honest.

    Very nice car and modeling. Two caveats: The mail bag would never be left out unattended by a Postal worker and the truss rods go over a king post(just one) instead of queen posts(two). The mail is required to be carried in a locked room, car, or carried by the Postmaster like was done on the Maine two-foot lines at the end and no mail car available. Even in the laid back west, the mail was sacrosanct. Even a short car like that would probably have 2 lights but you got to save where you can.

    Very nice coach.
    Where did you find the cheap Chinese seated figurines? I needed some last, but I didn't find anything correct. Ended up reusing and modifying figurines from plastic model kits, which lead me to sculpt my own (but I wouldn't sculpt for such hidden figurines).

    So do you take the top off to access the light switch, or did you run power through the trucks and didn't show it? Thanks!

    • @ThunderMesaStudio
      @ThunderMesaStudio  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, the roof comes off to access the switch.

    What is the sharpest curve radius on your layout? I am trying to design a shelf layout or small module.

      In case you hadn't seen the reply above from a year later: 15" radius at Geyser Gulch.
