- Well folks, you saw me dismantle 3 years of model railroading. In this video I'll show you the re-birth of the Brown Smith Railroad - It's 3.0 and totally AWESOME! I reused the benchwork, track, and turnouts from version 2.0 and made something that I am stoked about. Take a look and tell me what you think!

Steve has a life. Not just producing videos. Cut him some slack. I enjoy what he shares. Nuff said. Thanks, Steve!
Bruce, I may hire you as VP of PR LOL! Thanks brother!
Amen Bruce!
@@ItsMyRailroad Would be an honor.... Keep em coming whenever you can 😉 !!!
Looks great, Steve. Where that is placed gives you 2 scenes in one, instead of just the usual mountain against the wall down to the tracks. A built-in, scenic divider!
It turned out better than expected. Totally stoked you like it Homer!
Great work. I am soaking up every bit of info I can. FYI, I've spent the last 35yrs of my life in the wilderness engaging in very extreme rock climbing. Now that I am 60, have a grandchild, I need to dial my insanity back abit. The Worlds Greatest Hobby captivated me since my earliest years. Watching hours of videos to learn the latest tecniquies (I attempted 2 builds in the 80s before I found Rock Climbing). I've noticed a few important details are consistently overlooked by even the best modelers. I say this only because of my extensive experience in remote terrain.
Great job Steve. Your series has given me ambition and inspiration to finally get working on mine, as It's My Railroad, were the freeing words I needed to allow me to work judgement free and try new things, because its mine! Doing that now in my slow season, and working on my own scenery presently. Love the regular guy methods as I am one too. Thanks!
Dan, it IS your railroad! Screw the mainstream or anyone that's a nay-sayer. What matters is that you DIG what you're doing and totally enjoy the time spent. It's a hobby, not a planet saving event :) Thanks for watching, get going on that layout, and rreail-on brother!
Great video Steve. Some great ideas and thoughts to help the rest of us. Simple and regular. From Australia
Thanks Anthony, and my best wishes to the fans down-under!
Hi ya Steve. All those things you’ve learned over the last few years came to fruition on that particular hillside. Well done, Regular Guy, well done!
Hi Norman you old dog! You know when you give your blessing it means the world to me. Thanks a ton brother, and stay safe.
Hey Steve it's okay to gloat it's your railroad that turned out fantastic my friend keep up the awesome work 👍👍
Hi Charles! I couldn't help myself. I was so pleased with the end result. Hopefully it wasn't too obvious LOL! Thanks for being a channel member buddy, and rail-on!
Hi Steve - Glad to see you have come over to our way of modelling on the other side of the pond,
I much prefer the one level and for all the reasons you have stated my friend. Multi levels have never really caught on over here, with the small spaces we have to cope with you might have thought they would, but no.
I think this new layout is the best you have done, loving every bit of it and the mountain with the trees on looks fantastic,
Looking forwards to the journey with this new layout.
All the best, Chris
I like how you think. The project always goes where it want to.
Yep, that seems to be true no matter what I am working on. Thanks for the comment and encouragement my friend!
I love to see how a blank spot turns into a mountain scene. That turned out great and easy technics to do it. Thanks for showing us your progress on the layout.
GOD BLESS 🚂❤🚂❤🚂❤
Hi Lois! Yep, it doesn't take much to put together something that looks pretty good. Thanks for the comment and encouragement my friend!
That looks great. Really like the final finished scene. 😀
Thanks a ton Rick!
Funny thing using that paint wash is you just kind of blob it on. Then watch what happens. The lighter spots you have look like some stuff east of San Diego. It's always good when you can use structures and scenery from a previous layout. Your layout is coming along nicely.
Hey PB! Yep, blob it on, use some water, and let it go where it wants to go. Thanks brother!
Brilliant Steve, just briilliant. And if I may add, it really shows you’re enjoying the hobby again.
Wow Stefan! Thanks for that! Totally digging working on this and running my trains!
Hey Steve! Just a short note. Your MOW yard inspired me to build my own on my HO scale layout. Thanks for all the inspiration.
I love it reminds me of the one you inspired me to get back in the hobby, awesome to see another video
My favorite part of this comment was the part where you were inspired to get back into the hobby! Rail-on my friend!
I have to say the knit cap threw me off at first. Nice job on the mountain. I really like this new layout. Thanks for sharing your techniques. Stay safe - Larry.
Hi Larry! Always awesome to see you in the comments! I know you prefer the mohawk, but it was a bit chilly LOL! Thanks for sticking around so long brother!
Good to see you having fun with the new layout brother. Glad you’re keeping your original TH-camrs in the loop. I like the feel of the wide open spaces and the great job you did on the mountains. Rail on.
Hi Derek! I am so grateful folks like the work I do. Rail-on brother!
I like the way you think. Have an idea of what you want then let the project take you where it takes you.
Hi Kyle! So far that has just been the way. Doesn't ALWAYS turn out right, but mostly LOL! Thanks brother!
Looks great Steve! The technique you use with the paint adds a lot of realistic effects! Great stuff - cheers from Melbourne, Australia!
Hi Greg! Always love the support from down-under. You guys keep the planet propped up, you know that right?! LOL! Rail-on mate!
Steve my friend good job on everything that hillside looks fantastic brother ...I want to visit the museum when it opens...as i do luv a good shay im so glad you reused certain sections again some of us have fond memories of them all...thanks again for sharing this journey with us and God bless to you and yours
Hey Anthony! Yep, looking forward to building that scene. Got so may projects going that I don't know when I'll start it though! LOL!
Steve I give it two thumbs up man buddy that looks awesome
Thanks a ton Darren!
I like how you used a foam mountain as a scene divide. Dah! Thanks.
It turned out better than I expected Ken!
Great video great to see you back
Thanks Robert!
Thanks, Steve! Good stuff, and a great look. Keep up with the great techniques.
Wow ! This all looks great !!!!!!
Thanks Gary!
Great work on that mountain, the new layout's looking good Steve.
Yo Chazzy, thanks for that encouragement!
I hope I will have great success as you did when I get to that point. I won’t lie, I’m a little nervous about starting.
Oh my friend, there's nothing done that can't be undone. We're not saving the planet here, just having a great time working on a model. My advice always is: just shove off, try it out, and if it doesn't work redo it. It's still time well spent. Thanks for the comment and for watching, and rail-on my friend!
Most enjoyable to follow along Steve. Thanks for sharing ! Happy model railroading & cheers, Filip
Looks amazing. Even at the stage where you just put the paint and the trees down it had that semi arid western U.S look nailed.👍
Thanks, and I agree. I really started getting pumped at that part. Thanks for the encouragement and for watching Andreas!
Love The Regular Guy techniques. There's nothing wrong geeking out on your own handiwork lol.
LOL! Thanks Dru! Sometimes you just gotta geek-out!
Looks good, Steve! Don't worry about a regular video schedule, just do what you can.
It Flyboy! Thanks for piping in brother. Man, you and me go back a ways. Thanks for the encouragement!
Plenty of..."Happy Little Trees!"😆😀
They really are happy. They've been in a box for awhile LOL! Thanks Mike!
@@ItsMyRailroad 😆
Looks great😊
Appreciate that Rick!
Steve, these updates are great. Really enjoy watching you work 'the magic'! Keep it coming, but pace yourself. I don't mind waiting for an update...makes me want to see more. Besides man has to put bread on his table too. Cheers from southwestern Quebec! Vince
This was so perfect!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
Thanks a ton for that encouragement Samantha!
Bamboo Skewers: I use them for:
1) Holding foam together
2) Punching holes for wire
3) Holding other stuff in place
4) Like chopsticks to hold small pieces
and now
5) Place holders for trees
Thanks for the 'How To'. I like how you started with black. I've been starting with lighter and going darker. I think I'll try it your way.
Best wishes this year.
Hey G&G! I have found that starting with shadows and slowly moving towards lighter colors and highlights really gets some great results. Thanks for t he comment and for watching!
wow, looks great! thanks Steve for the update!
Hi Daniel! Thanks for the encouragement and for watching brother!
Love your videos. I’m in NJ and love model RR. Im 67 and only model in the winter. Keep up the great work. I’ll send you some shots of my RR.
Hi Rob! If I only modeled in the winter I'd never get work done out here LOL! Thanks for watching my friend and say hi to Jersey for me!
Thanks Steve you are making the fun part of the hobby.
I love what you have done with the layout, and love how you made that rock hill look so amazing cool....
Thanks for that encouragement Steven! Admittedly, I was out there tonight just watching my train run through the scene. Totally digging it. Thanks for the comment and for watching my friend!
Hi Steve. Always good to see you, whenever the notification bell goes off.
Good job on the mountain colors, I had a good lol moment when you pulled the tree out and picked the paint off, then said, it's a rock now..lol.
Keep up the great work, Cheers.
LOL! When I watched that part during editing I said, "I've got to leave that in there". Thanks for being such a great supported of my work, it's been awhile now. Rail-on brother!
looks awesome great ideas for us just learning scenery. always look forward to your videos .. so helpful thanks for sharing David
Thanks for that encouragement David. The important thing is to just shove off and see where it goes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes the surprises are breathtaking. Thanks for the comment and for watching my friend!
Wow...awesome sauce...thanks for sharing and keep up the great work...Lance..I'm still working on the inside my new shed..12 by 36 and still on the fence for ho or n...
WOW Dude, you have got a whole lot done since the last video. WAY COOL!!!! It was great to see trains running through some scenery. Also glad you are enjoying RUNNING trains and doing some switching!!! That's what it's all about!!! Looking Good, and looking forward to the next video!!! Take care!!!!
Hi David! Thanks for that encouragement my friend. I never stop working on it... it's just too much fun!
Nice progress, thank you for share tips
Hey Luis! Thanks for watching!
Love your comment, '..I don't do metric...' I totally agree, and the scene came out beautifully.
LOL! Yeah Al, that's just me winging it :) Thanks for the comment and for watching my friend!
Nice wash techniques used to do your mountain side. Looks mighty impressive. Good job!! 👍😁
Hey Gus! You can see how easy that is, right? And the results are pretty sweet. Thanks for the comment and for watching my friend!
Looking awesome Steve. Looking forward to more updates
Thanks for that encouragement and rail-on my friend!
Well done sir! Always enjoy your videos!
Thanks Shadow! As always, appreciate the view and the comment my friend!
Looks great Steve!
Boom! Thanks Dr. K!
Great job Steve !!!
Thanks Alfred!
Great video, as always. I lived in the west growing up. I have a lot of western locomotives and rolling stock, but now I'm on the east coast and I was thinking of modeling what I see around me here on the east cost, but your methods produce such a nice western look! I'm still laying track and doing that, but I bookmarked this to refer to when I'm ready to do the scenery. Thanks for your channel.
Hi DCR! I'm sure whatever you decide on will be awesome so long as you enjoy the time spent like I do. Thanks for the comment and for watching, and rail-on!
Hiya Steve, Happy new year firstly…. Absolutely top notch as always and great to see the new layout developing.. You take great care and stay well, regards Chris
Hi Chris, and thanks for the wishes my friend! Likewise!
That's looking awesome mate, love how the trees help block the view behind them, I've said it before, you definitely seem to be back enjoying your model railroading, as it should be, can't wait till the exciting instalment of it, all the best from down under Reid 😀
Hey Reid! Thanks for that encouragement and for being a part of what I do for all these years. My best wishes to you and yours this year my friend!
The regular guy way does it again. Well done, Steve. Looking forward to more and thank you for sharing, David
Hi David! Thanks for that encouragement and for watching my friend!
Looks great 👍. You make it look so easy.. rail on my friend 🙂
Hey Kevin! It WAS easy LOL! It's just paint, water, and a pair of eyeballs. :) Plus, you need to let the scene go where it wants to go. Don't fight it or it'll look like crap. Thanks for being a channel member and rail-on buddy!
Awesome work
Thanks Allen!
Very realistic scenery. Great technique.
Thanks brother! Always love seeing you in the comments my friend!
Looks pretty good Steve. Switch Junction needs passenger service or a tourist train and a siding to hold it on. Well maybe????
Hi Jack! I'm going to put in a track, and frankly I set up the layout to accept a turnout there. Still not exactly sure what I want to do. Thanks for the comment and encouragement my friend!
Awesome!!!
Thank you my friend!
Excellent
Thanks Ken!
Totally enjoy your videos, job well done 👍
Thanks Robert!
You make it look so easy... way to go... Nice Touque...haha...
Well, Daryl, it's not so hard. Paint, water, and let the vibes flow :) Thanks for watching my friend!
Great video!
Good job Steve, I like it allot.
Thanks John!
Awesome job buddy
Thanks Eric!
Love these videos!
Hey Steve, it really looks good my friend, keep it going
Hi LS! Thanks a ton for that encouragement and for being a member. That support means a LOT to me. Rail-on, and stay safe brother!
Love the way the regular guy way does his lay out.😊😊😊😊✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Jimmy!
Looking forward to the next episode
Thanks, it's coming!
Would love to see an updated op session on your updated layout!
Hi Bren! Funny, I've been running a bunch of ops and digging it. Maybe after I finish the yard I can put something out. Thanks !
Your are working your magic sir!
Magic? That's what I use to go to work in the morning LOL! Thanks Ken :)
@@ItsMyRailroad Well you are the one that lives in California are you?
By the way you should add a tank car unloading rack at your pet food plant. They would be off load oils and process meats via tank car. Also they would take hopper cars of grains and things.
Keeeeeeen?! Did you not see the tanker car at the Star Industries scene? LOL! Way ahead of you buddy!
@@ItsMyRailroad If you remember the Vietnam war when Nixon did away with deferments they made me 4F (I have 20/300 vision) sorry I just missed it. And I though I was giving you a great idea.
Looks good. You are channeling Bob Ross :-) Like painting, our scenery is trying to use light and textures to fool the eye into seeing something else. On camera it appears that you have fooled my eyes!
Hi Gary! You can tell from my hair style that Bob and I are nearly twins! Bahahaha! Thanks for that encouragement my friend, and rail-on!
Great video as always Steve! Oh and nice hat 🎩
LOL! Thanks FL!
I think we have the same static grass applicator. It'll shock the crap out of you.
I definitely get lighting strikes here and there LOL!
Hi Steve, you've been quiet of late so just checking in to see how things are progressing. Hope all is well. Cheers.
Looks great Steve! Really enjoy your videos. The washes can also be made by mixing the acrylic paint into the water. A little quicker. Im doing my very first layout and I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you! / Susanne
Hi Susanne! I agree with you on the washes. However, the way I did it gives me a bit more control over how much paint I get where. I hope you dig working on your layout as much as I dig working on mine. Rail-on sister!
Thank you! And I understand your point. Will have that in mind. IF you ever have time I would be very greatful IF you watched one of my videos and let me know what you think of my layout. Since it is my first, some advice from you would be.... much appriciated, Thank you for your answer and great videos!
Great job! Looks good. Personally, I would've used some of the shorter trees at the top to give a forced perspective of distance. Same way you could put a 'Z' scale building, maybe a church, on top of a hill making it appear to be off in the distance. Just my $.02 worth Hey - maybe add a fire watch tower in the "mountain forest". You never know........
Yeah, that was my intent which is why I started with the shorter trees. The problem was it just ended up looking like a flat top. I had to make a compromise. Thanks for watching and rail-on!
Steve: You are the Railroad baron of the Brown Smith Railroad. You no one an explanation. However I do have one question, Is it that cold in your garage to warrant wearing a stocking cap or have you become a merchant Sailor? (Just kidding you Man). I just enjoy your gems 💎 when you release them. Rail on Bucko!
Yep Ken, it gets that cold this time of year (Brrrrr). Got plans to add some heat but to busy working on models LOL! Thanks for the comment and for being with me this long brother. Rail-on!
Black spot on side of the mountain could be a cool small pond on the side of the mountain
Reminded me of an episode of "The Joy Of Painting, With Bob Ross" ;)
Ah, Bob Ross. We all miss him. All I can do is mimic his hair style LOL! Thanks for watching!
Leave your layout looks good and fabulous man hey you inspire me to try to come up with ideas on my layout if I could figure out how to post photos to your thing I would but other neck and looks good buddy so alright this is Darren from Wisconsin just saying it looks good and fabulous awesome
Bah! You don't need to post photos for me. All I need to hear is that you're inspired to shove off and git r dun! Rail on Darren!
It looks great and you did it your way that makes you happy after all it's your railroad you only have to please you
Hi Colin! Thanks for the encouragement my friend!
Putting the different colors in there really sets the other colors off and compliment each other and make it look more realistic looking, got a question for you, I run ho scale and was wondering if you knew of a guide that could help me figure out what diesel locomotives will run on the different radius’s of track? Thanks buddy and keep on railing
Your new layout really looks awesome! Are you going to do the logging camp again? That was 1 of my favorite areas on the layout as well as the orchard. Good to see your videos again!
Aw Terry, don't hurt me like that :) The logging camp may not find it's way onto the new layout. However, some of the parts of the orchard still have a shot. Stay tuned, and rail-on my friend!
Dud we need more stuff to look at!
For those folk who think you should produce More vids, I say, make some yourselves and work out how much effort goes into a production. I'd rather have quality than quantity! I like your base coat staining, very effective.
Actually, I think you have plenty of good reasons to have a bit of a gloat!
Thanks Steve.
Yo Peter! Thanks a ton for that encouragement my friend. Helps pump me up for the next one. Really appreciate the comment and the watching.
Steve you are The Bob Ross of Model Railroad Scenery! Good work! Thank you!
LOL! Bob Ross has way more hair than I do :) Thanks Dicko!
Father of the year
...according to my 4 terroirs. LOL!
great job florida man!
My channel uploads are slow because I work 10-12 hours a day. I haven't even had time to unbox all of my stuff! I have a nice 10 1/2 x 15 foot spare bedroom that I want to start an N scale layout in. Fingers crossed that I'll get around to it!
Just rail-on brother!
cold there Steve
Yep, it is. But it's nothing new :) Thanks Fran!
Really like that shade line at the edge of the backdrop, Steve. It enhances the illusion of depth!
Well Vincent, that's what Bob Ross would call a "happy accident". It was not intentional but I loved the way it looked so much I just kept doing it. Thanks for the encouragement and for watching my friend!
Hi Steve.
Just 2 quick questions. How do you get within working and reaching distance? You have a fair amount of distance from your standing area to your work area. Your repurposing of these pine trees look fantastic!. Next question is , after this scene was completed to your satisfaction, did you cover the the entire scene again with a final coat of diluted with glue spray to lock everything in? Again, this looks GREAT!!!
Ernie from Philadelphia.
0:35 What radius is this curve, the one on the back of the yard?
Hi , got a question for ya. When you construct the buildings you have on your layouts, do you use one of those N Scale Rulers ? I am very interested in putting together some H.O. scale buildings for my future layout. Now I have heard a lot about how important it is to use one of those scale rulers when constructing the buildings. However, I don't really know how to use them. Any tips or hints for me about this ?
Get one. Absolutely essential. Get a metal one, mine is made and sold by Walthers.
To use, HO scale - every foot mark is a number. Starts at 1 and goes up to 85, that equals 85ft. Each foot is marked by a line that equals 3 inches. You don't need anything finer then that unless you plan on entering contests. You can use the scale as a guide for cutting with an excato knife. Not sure of the spelling. Get a pack of #11 blades to go with it.
@@jackheninger5471 ; Jack, thank you so much for that info !! I'm sure it will come in very handy .
Hi Gary! Yep, I bought a scale ruler way back in the day. I actually scanned it into my computer so I can scale printout structures and details. I highly recommend it. Rail-on my friend!
@@jackheninger5471 I use a piece of plate glass to cut the styreen saves the blade, if you have a cutting mat use a copier and place the copy under the glass.
I know you are doing a smaller scale than HO but if you want you could try using dry orange tree branches with moss and ground cover to make some very realistic natural looking trees
Hi Roberto! I am willing to try anything my friend. I may look into that. Thanks for watching and rail-on!
Looks great so far Steve. How come you made your new yard so small especially now that you have so much open space?
Well, I think I have enough track in the yard to support what's coming up. I'll move 6-8 cars at a time into various scenes. Plus, I've got the interchange track to dump or pick up cars. Good news - all of this is set up to modify as needed so I think I'm good for now. Thanks for the comment and for watching my friend!
I think you will be happier downsizing your layout. You can do the washing of the mountain with a small spray bottle. Be a lot faster than with a brush. I don't get why you do not mix brown paint in with your sculptamold it will save you so much time trying to color it plus if a gouge gets into it it wont be white. Bob Ross liked happy accidents but he painted dark to light. Earth or Dark Brown paint mixed with the plaster and then lighten afterwards.
Hi Nick! Thanks for that comment brother! Great stuff!
