As any modeller (that has my way of thinking) would say: "any mistakes you make are just free weathering". Sooo either ye try to cover it up as best you can or you just add it to the story of whatever you try to make. To the random stranger in the background: your shenanigans have not gone unnoticed xD
fr, ive seen tons of kits for other hobbies that say they come with everything including tools and theyre the most useless cheap tools and you still have to go buy stuff. this tho looks damn good. these typa kits is truely how you get people into the hobby properly imo
3:02 "Plastikkleber" is in fact special glue only suitable for the kind of plastic Walthers or Revell etc. kits are made of. I learned that the hard way as a kitbuild freightcar (slightly different material) desintegrated while running. So be careful with that
As someone who does a fair amount of model work (tabletop wargaming rather than railroad stuff in my case) it was fun to watch you work on this. I haven't done a lot of scenery, although I might eventually do a nice display board for my armies so they look good at tournaments. I look forward to seeing the rest of this series!
my kit is still very much in box lol. FINALLY have moved and i just need to make a corner of my room to make it. might be a while still because my room is a dumpster fire at the moment and i'm still unpacking but ill update ya when i start making mine. thanks again for the kit btw. (i"m Vinny from australia if anyone is confused)
Ah, yes. Cripple Creak. I also tried to build a nice 4x8 layout from the Model Railroader in high school, however, moving from a 3-car garage to a 2-car was not polite to my layout. The project was halted and the table was repurposed as storage where it still sits today, 7 years later. Someday, when I move into my own house after college, I will definitely build another one, probably much bigger. Great work, Hyce, and thanks for inspiring me!
That kit really is a neat little “petit paquet” with everything you need. Super rad. (Also the living room needs a proper wine/whiskey rack. Here’s for that ❤)
When gluing down the Ballast, mist it with either Wet Water (water with a few drops of liquid dish soap) or 90% Alcohol. This will cause the glue to flow more evenly throughout the ballast. Then allow everything to dry. alcohol dries much faster which is what I recommend using.
HA HA HA HA this was entertaining!! Love the commentary and you read all this out!! Awesome buddy!! Hope to meet you someday at the museum as I am a few miles from it.
Yknow, I've always been somewhat intimidated by building scenery and weathering and ballasting track, but this kit is amazing. Definitely need to look into getting it!
just have to say, being able to watch you do the module would be *awesome* I'm working on one myself, but not following any rules since its designed to be a self contained loop for the upcoming holidays as a village.
You unlocked a core memory of the Cripple Creek Central. I never built it but I had that issue of the magazine and read it over and over and daydreamed about it as a kid lol. I had lame parents though xD
Looks great so far! I may have to get one for myself, while I am an avid railroader, the extent of my trackwork is EZ-track on a piece of plywood, lol.
So, here in down under. I work at a quarry, some time ago we did a run of crushed black granite for a model company, I then happened to see the same stone a few weeks later in a model store "real stone ballast" for model rail roads.... it was $50 for 2kg of this stuff.... that's 25 grand a ton. I know we didn't sell it for anywhere near that
I have been working on my model railroad since I was 8 ( I had to rebuild the track a few years ago) and this would have been useful, Thx hyce!. Warning for anyone getting into the hobby: Scenery is dedication. Join a club if you can. And you will rebuild stuff just for the fun of it.
This video was a lot of fun and I look forward to the series. It's pretty awesome to see the contrast between Nick and Mark ☺️ I don't model, as I have zoomy cats, but I'm happy to live vicariously. No, I never used a level for a straightedge. Never. 🤔 Thanks again!! PS. Mark, I kept waiting for your hair to land in the glue..... just saying...
Everybody has something they use when they need "something heavy". I do not have an oil burner, but I usually have at least a few lead-acid UPS batteries lying around.
man this makes me want to model again so badly. i need to try and do one of my plane models down in the basement, but these build a world kits are killer. Id love to give one a shot
8:06 - 8:11 Ok, I know exactly what you meant, Hyce, but, when you said "4014," I seriously just wildly pictured BIG BOY 4014 just rolling up on the street in front of your house to drop off stuff for you for this project.
I think I had the same HO scale tracks but there old and kinda dusty I got it as a give away from Model train crossing in TX and one of the owner says "who wants these old HO scales rails and nobody wants it" and I said "yes I wanted I never had HO scale before" but no train just the tracks, Crossing panels and switches but I also had a O scale Lionel set which is one expaning with the new Lionel FasTrack but I had fun with it and it cool you had the same tracks that I had now
Hey, Hyce, I am watching the Steam 101 cold start vid again and when you mentioned about the cyclone on the front end, I don't think you talked about the purpose and advantage that 491 gets because she has one compared to a normal loco without a cyclone. Does it help draft the smoke and steam out the stack while at the same time catch the largest chunks of coal that are small and light enough to be caught by the draft the steam and smoke create on it's way out the stack?
Hey mate! The advantage is that it causes the smoke to spend more time in the stack before it leaves, causing the cinders to stop being on fire much more easily.
i come from a land down unda. i still need to find space. to make myself a layout (oooooh yea) . you better run better take cover. i will be sure that whenever i manage to start i will wear company merch. lol
I think i will buy a kit if available. I also havnt had a legit layout in almost 20 years. I built a few layouts in my shed then living room but thats over now. Im about to get my own place so modeling i'll be. I actually just got a 1938 varney DRG&W goldola.
going from watching Luke Towan's video today to watching this is an experience😛 j/k it's still a lot of fun seeing you put it together and just shoot the breeze
Real railroads don't care about cleaning up. I know a retired prison psychologist who likes to create welded projects. We talked one day when I happened upon his wares and workshop. I started bringing him discarded railroad spikes, tie plates, and other discarded hardware found along the tracks. He's made huge dandelions and other creations out of rebar and rail spikes.
Hey hyce could you also help me on my current model react project in kansas im trying to get a team together for this i was wondering if you could help me with the narrow gauge modules and dual gauge modules in ho scale American 3 ft gauge im doing this for my job in louisburg kansas
gah!! clean your work surface!!! honestly.... you call yourself a modeler XD. also your friend in the background makes me feel like we're filming you while in Observation Duty.
What a strange man with a strange hat... Display is coming along nicely!
The stranger turned this into a bit of a tense horror video ngl.
Im exited to see where this project goes!

'The knife of Exact Zero' sounds like a weapon in D&D.
Funnily enough its from the lego movie of all things lol
@@Rocker-1234Lego movie is just a real weird campaign obviously
That's a pretty slick kit you have there! I look forward to the Hyce Branch!
Wow this is definitely a well-thought out & put together kit

This man is about to get his TH-cam play button! You and kAN inspired me to get RO, love your content man!
As an Australian it's nice to see it stays together upside down 🙃

17:20 The ghost of model railroading past has come to visit Mark i see
I Picked up the Revell Big boy, All i got to do now is paint it.
Don't muck it up
I like how the kit "has all the tools" except for a scale (aka a ruler.) 😅
I heard the voice and thought- that can't be Nick from the Roundouse Podcast, can it? Awesome to see you two team up!
As i was watching Mark lay balast in like surely there is a tool for this. And then nick just pops up with the exact thing I was thinking of
my kit is still very much in box lol. FINALLY have moved and i just need to make a corner of my room to make it. might be a while still because my room is a dumpster fire at the moment and i'm still unpacking but ill update ya when i start making mine. thanks again for the kit btw.

@@Hyce777Any time, sir!
Great video! Those kits look like they are fun to put together and customize to what you want to do with it.
When gluing down the Ballast, mist it with either Wet Water (water with a few drops of liquid dish soap) or 90% Alcohol. This will cause the glue to flow more evenly throughout the ballast. Then allow everything to dry. alcohol dries much faster which is what I recommend using.
HA HA HA HA this was entertaining!! Love the commentary and you read all this out!! Awesome buddy!! Hope to meet you someday at the museum as I am a few miles from it.
I love how he can make anything funny. From cutting foam to throwing trash away 😂
Yknow, I've always been somewhat intimidated by building scenery and weathering and ballasting track, but this kit is amazing. Definitely need to look into getting it!
Precision is a. The Bass son. Cool videos. Walters make some great stuff
just have to say, being able to watch you do the module would be *awesome* I'm working on one myself, but not following any rules since its designed to be a self contained loop for the upcoming holidays as a village.
You unlocked a core memory of the Cripple Creek Central. I never built it but I had that issue of the magazine and read it over and over and daydreamed about it as a kid lol. I had lame parents though xD
as they say in old country, hammer to fit and paint to match
Hi Hyce. I was at the museum this morning. It’s a pretty cool place. It was a quiet day though.
Is that Chuck Norris? Also that ballast tool is brilliant
Amazing strange man.
Very enjoyable to watch! I'm looking forward to the next ones!
Looks great so far! I may have to get one for myself, while I am an avid railroader, the extent of my trackwork is EZ-track on a piece of plywood, lol.
I’m building a layout spanning the whole length of my living room, based on Märklin metal tracks 😄
Awesome, what fun. I'm building the 20 Mule team model for a photo shoot in the desert. Cheers!
Hey hyce I’d recommend to use a spoon and tooth pick when ballasting to prevent ballast from going every where and it allows you to slowly add ballast
I wonder if cutting a v notch in the end of a plastic spoon would let you lay the ballast very precisely.
So, here in down under. I work at a quarry, some time ago we did a run of crushed black granite for a model company, I then happened to see the same stone a few weeks later in a model store "real stone ballast" for model rail roads.... it was $50 for 2kg of this stuff.... that's 25 grand a ton.

I noticed the stranger before you even said it!! Drank himself to sleep last night!! LOL
This is definitely really good. I was thinking about getting that kit to build along.
1:50 this ballast pack was least thing i expect to see 😂
This video was a lot of fun and I look forward to the series. It's pretty awesome to see the contrast between Nick and Mark ☺️ I don't model, as I have zoomy cats, but I'm happy to live vicariously.

My first thought...is a COMFY couch!
Everybody has something they use when they need "something heavy". I do not have an oil burner, but I usually have at least a few lead-acid UPS batteries lying around.
You should be using a track inspectors tape measure to build track for more realism
I was laughing so hard at all of the accents and jokes you were doing lol😂😂😂
man this makes me want to model again so badly. i need to try and do one of my plane models down in the basement, but these build a world kits are killer. Id love to give one a shot
* *chants of DO-IT intensify* *
17:49
Maybe try a teaspoon of sorts? Doesn't matter that much I recon
You better not scratch that nice new table
I was just hoping you never glued your hair the whole time HAHA - great series!
8:06 - 8:11 Ok, I know exactly what you meant, Hyce, but, when you said "4014," I seriously just wildly pictured BIG BOY 4014 just rolling up on the street in front of your house to drop off stuff for you for this project.
16:24 that moment changed from foam to a foamer.
Such an obvious joke, I had to take it.
16:55 As the fine conessur of SpongeBob memes you are...
"He's just sitting there..... *MENACINGLY* "
2:38
THE KNIFE OF EXACT-0
Very early to this! Yay! Uhhh glue looks fine, it will hold, i hope
Thats what ive been waiting for
I'm gonna be the foamer here like "MOORE"! 😂😂
I recommend watching some Luke Towan videos for tips and tricks if you plan on building more dioramas!
I think I had the same HO scale tracks but there old and kinda dusty I got it as a give away from Model train crossing in TX and one of the owner says "who wants these old HO scales rails and nobody wants it" and I said "yes I wanted I never had HO scale before" but no train just the tracks, Crossing panels and switches but I also had a O scale Lionel set which is one expaning with the new Lionel FasTrack but I had fun with it and it cool you had the same tracks that I had now
holy shit youre almost at 100k
OMG LIONEL TRAINS
You might want to score your line with your knife more than once so that you get a smooth cut.
The track on the floor, wouldnt be L gauge, would it?

End of the Hyce Branch is blocked off with two ties, next to a crossed out sign that reads Alamosa😂
i come from a land down unda. i still need to find space. to make myself a layout (oooooh yea) . you better run better take cover. i will be sure that whenever i manage to start i will wear company merch. lol
okay we need to get something heavy. *grabs oil burner and a book*
where is the love for cowboyhat dude in the back
Mr Cowboyhatdude tm
The first instruction tells you to use a tool that wasn't included with a kit that comes with tools?
Up here in Canada we call it trim track not dress
I think i will buy a kit if available. I also havnt had a legit layout in almost 20 years. I built a few layouts in my shed then living room but thats over now. Im about to get my own place so modeling i'll be. I actually just got a 1938 varney DRG&W goldola.
Hyce doesn’t need to look for music on the internet he already has his own music
You make a mess with the flocking no matter what man......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wish I had decided to get one of these. Is the link still available? This looks like a fun project.
www.walthers.com/build-a-world
"this line looks like it only had 6 beers" ah this model was built in kenosha
Do you still have the plans for the cripple creek layout? Sounds like it would be a fun build 😂
Nope. It's 4x8 and in Seattle; and I am in Denver these days, lol.
So Hyce why do railroads burry the ties in ballast after they put the new track down sometimes
Haha this is super cool
Also if im ever on vacation in Colorado in golden can i volunteer at the Colorado railroad museum
going from watching Luke Towan's video today to watching this is an experience😛
j/k it's still a lot of fun seeing you put it together and just shoot the breeze
Are you going to build the ES&D Railroad on the modules?
I wish
When are you going to join kon on the new map on railroads online?
I suggest that you use a piece of cardboard when cutting youll have an easier time cutting and it wont hurt any furniture
You mentioned cripple Creek. You should come have a beer
A scary murder man appears!
17:36 You speak of an impossible task
hmm, a hyce model railway.. i'm guessing it will consist of explodey boys...
Yo mark I put down a small list of some facts about the Byron railroad on the hallostream
Is this kit HO scale?
Yes
Real railroads don't care about cleaning up. I know a retired prison psychologist who likes to create welded projects. We talked one day when I happened upon his wares and workshop.

Is the stranger a coboose?
Yis
If you would only just cut your hair short you'd be breathtaking. With that cute laugh and smile you'd be swimming in "hookup" opportunities!
Petition for recycling can cam.
lmao :) I am glad
"Cut towards your chum, not your thumb"

Hyce TH-cam
Whos the guy in the back lol
Cabooooooose!
Do some railroads online
Just got to admit those 2 different light switches bother me
