Really love how you consider design into your build. Long flowing lines, adapting the layout to the visual beauty of the fascia line. Very museum quality effect. Well done.
Awesome, thank you! At the end of the day I have to live with the layout for a long time. I might as well put my best into all aspects of the build. Cheers ~ Boomer.
I was just about to make the same comment. Boomer's sense of composition and lines leading the eye is the most fascinating insights in this series so far for me.
I'm really enjoying your updates. The layout is really beginning to take shape and I can't wait for the scenic work to begin! The bag was a surprise - at least they can't say that you never re-used or re-imagined its potential! Greetings from the UK.
Thanks so much! It's a good thing to have a little unexpected fun once in awhile. Yes . . . the layout is really taking shape. All the hard work feels good now! Cheers ~ Boomer.
In some ways I'd love to see your layout done tomorrow, but I enjoy the process Vlogs. It's seeing your process that draws me in and that's the fun of it all.
Actually, that Church is one block away from my home. There is also another one, just like it, in Milner (near the Grain Elevator) as well. I will probably model it at a later date.
Thank you very much! I can't wait to start composing the scenes, track etc. One other nice development is the work space by the window, under the "thin-line" facia as well. Cheers ~ Boomer.
smooth S curve.. great workmanship.. all the tried and true knowledge in the "bag" coming out on a very nice foundation for this new RxR.. good stuff. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your philosophy regarding the facia design. I am planning out my new layout which will have "oceanfront" features and I will certainly use your approach to a fixed horizontal lower layer as appealing to the viewer.
Thank You Jeff. Another advantage - The thin line (lower facia) also makes for a great work space under the layout as well. Just install a smaller LED under the frame with a table and you are good to go! Cheers.
Thank You Frank! I'm trying not to do to much of the construction. But it is what it is. Not much else I can do until the benchwork is finished. Cheers.
Lol . . . Funny you mention that. I have to do some sanding (very little if possible) on the facia for painting. I don't like to sand at all if I can help it. Cheers.
Wow, thanks! The Vlogging style updates help to balance out my work load a little as well. If it all works together, I don't mind serving the community this way,. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Love the frequent updates with your narrative. Your attention to detail is impressive. I'm glad you're not doing what you call "A slice of life." I like the clean edge. Imagine how many miles of roadway you could have in your small space if you were modelling in N scale.
Gives a whole new meaning to half bagged and recycling. Funny. The layout is really looking good. Now we are all wondering if you had a black eye or poison ivy or just didn’t feel like washing your hair that day.
Lol . . . Sometimes we need to break the ice a little. Trying to have some fun. This benchwork is wearing me out a little in the heat wave we are having, coupled with the brutal humidity. I am determined to be ready for model building this fall. Thank you! 😊
Glad you like them Ray! Vlogging is a little easier in the editing department. Actually, they are a nice break from the traditional how-to tutorials. Cheers.
its already pretty to look at,, the wood, the curves, imagining the scenery. love it.. great work.. you should build up your vlogs thou, dont release them as soon as you finish them, work at your pace, but just release 1 or 2 vlogs a week.. that way you will be ahead IRL and when you need a break or a 'IRL busy' you still have a few 'up your sleeve'.. it will help your channel grow and keep the hype up.. it will help you stay motivated to a comfortable level and still maintain strong support from yt.
I am enjoying you build videos, the construction of very different benchwork to standard benchwork. I also dislike cookie cutter fascia trims. You workmanship is very professional. Thank you.
Another great session! It is a very good idea not to have tracks to close to the facia, for instance of a derailment, your cars and engines could wind up falling off, and getting damaged! Nice work👍
Great question. I trim it, and leave it, after the road bed seam is done (which I will soon show). This way, if any diluted ballast glue, etc., seeps in, I can still separate the modules with less fuss. Cheers.
Pertaining to the lighting… I’ve noticed that in each corner there’s a distinct darkening because the bulbs are not continous, yet you’ve not mentioned it (at least not yet). Will you be addressing this at some future date?; perhaps with ribbon LEDs or such?
Yes, I did mention (briefly) I was going to use "dimmable" discs @ 6000K for the corners, etc. Furthermore, the corners look darker in the video. Live, they don't look very dark. The camera sensor can play like this sometimes. Cheers.
Lol . . . it's nice to have a little good cheer now-and-again isn't it? In a way, building this benchwork is akin to a civil war . . . lol. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Lookin good. I like the church picture also.
I live a block away from it.
@@boomerdiorama Do you visit this little church or just admire it from the outside? Are you saved?

Just finished doing some paling fences from your tutorial they came out pretty good so you have an email I can send you some pics?
You are never boring.

Omg your my hero!!! I’ve been following you for months and I can’t get enough. Your truly an inspiration!
Thank You Red. It makes it all worthwhile (video production) when I know others are inspired. Cheers ~ Boomer.
I thought your prior diorama was a work of art, but even the benchwork on this new "River Road' is absolutely stunning without anything on it yet!
I really love the way the benchwork came out. Thank You!
I tuned in. I saw. I watched. I....the Bag!!! Lol Wonderful :-D Beautiful facia.
😊 Thank You! The bag was a last minute prank I thought I would throw in after all the tension of building etc. Cheers ~ Boomer
@@boomerdiorama I literally start laughing out loud every time I think of it.

@@boomerdiorama the Church I go to started in one like that and I have often thought of modeling it.

I love the curves of the facia as it sweeps around the room, very impressive, as is all your woodwork. Thank you for sharing!

I like that "in the bag" statement. With the S curve I will probably try and match the track layout in a similar way as well. Cheers ~ Boomer.
The operational possibilities with this layout!! Tremendous work thus far.
Yes Sam . . . you are bang on there! Lot's of opportunities in 27" linear feet.

I thought I heard you say you weren't going to do much on the benchwork, but glad you are doing as much as you have. You have some nice techniques.
Thank You Frank! I'm trying not to do to much of the construction. But it is what it is. Not much else I can do until the benchwork is finished. Cheers.
@@boomerdiorama well I'm glad you're showing it all.
@@frankhellman6879 I'm a little anxious to get the basic benchwork done to be honest.
Greatly enjoy watching your progress. In the planning & building stages myself.
Awesome, thank you!
I like your dust mask.
Lol . . . Funny you mention that. I have to do some sanding (very little if possible) on the facia for painting. I don't like to sand at all if I can help it. Cheers.
@@boomerdiorama What I meant was your paper bag dust mask
@@joelvale3887 Yes I know . . .
Congrats Boomer. You made it to my #1 model railroad channel. Your vlogs flow like your curved benchwork - awesome....
Wow, thanks! The Vlogging style updates help to balance out my work load a little as well. If it all works together, I don't mind serving the community this way,. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Can’t wait to see the finished project. It’s going to be spectacular!
I should have a nice canvas to work from when it's done. Soon . . .

Wow! South Carolina. I grew up on that song in the Church. It must be hot and humid down there right now I bet. Cheers ~ Boomer
Yep, high of 90° & humidity @ 61% today ... Is that heat wave in the NW US affecting you any?
@@hondachopper6978 Yes. Temps are expected to go as high as 102 degrees or (39 Celsius), in the Fraser Valley where I live. It will be brutal.
This is a top banana build yet again , look forward to much more from the masked man ?
Lol . . . Hi-ho-silver-away . . . lol. ~ Boomer.
your really rattling these video's off, your on a roll!! lol
Glad you like them Ray! Vlogging is a little easier in the editing department. Actually, they are a nice break from the traditional how-to tutorials. Cheers.

Did you notice the "Value Village"? . . . lol.

Thank you very much! The way I build is my personal vision of the world. Everyone has one, they just need to build whatever it is. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Ha ha ha i saw it!! your funny brother!!! Great video for all age groups and model railroaders man i wish i had that much time
Thanks 👍 Time. That is something we need to manage for sure. I sacrificed and gave up lots to do this. Cheers.

Usually when one drops a locomotive they are never the same . . . I mean the locomotive and the owner . . . lol.
Silly question… do you leave the parchment paper in between the joints or remove doing a final assembly? Like the “Masked Planer” bit
Great question. I trim it, and leave it, after the road bed seam is done (which I will soon show). This way, if any diluted ballast glue, etc., seeps in, I can still separate the modules with less fuss. Cheers.
Question for the bag man; why the southern music. You are modeling from the northern states, Canada! Is it from where you come from?
Just a traditional song I remember growing up in the church. Cheers.
A question Brother Boomer. What lighting did you choose ? I know it's LED strips but what is the make and type?
4000K Lithonia from Home Depot. They look like older fluorescent style but they are are commercial LED strips behind the shade.
Unknown comic from the gong show,lol.
I was having fun that day for sure . . . lol. ~ Boomer.

Lol . . . I laughed when I did it as well. Had lot's of fun. Cheers.
In this and other Vlogs/Blogs you have made reference to a sketch or drawing in the "community tab". I can't find it. What am I missing?
Go to community tab and scroll down . . . It's there.
Sorry for the misunderstanding -- it's the Community Tab I can't find.
@@brucehayward8733 Should be on the home page
Are you planing on modeling the church?
Yes . . . possibly at the end of River Road . . .
