William is back! Fantastic video and always love the weathering segments. Thanks for producing these William & tell your wife we appreciate her help in giving you the time to make them!
Top comment material right there…I’m incredibly lucky to have such an amazing wife. She lets me do my thing & sees how much enjoyment I get from the hobby. It’s a win-win-win.
Thanks for tuning in and posting.
William, Congratulations on 91 episodes, and I am looking forward to Season 7. It is nice for viewers to see that things don't always work out perfectly the first time (or maybe even the second time), but in the end you learn and improve. Thanks for sharing your tips and techniques. You have motivated me to add license plates to my vehicles and weather them with taco sauce of course. Glad to see you took the kids out railfanning with you, you got to start them early. The locomotive crew was nice to give them a wave and horn salute. Great episode and I appreciate all your work on the videos.-Tom
Thanks Tom!
You’re one of the classiest modelers I’ve met. From your willingness to share content, to your support of the progress of fellow modelers work.
We’ll see if we can’t keep this momentum going and share more wins/loses as the RR evolves.
Nothing has to be "ground breaking". There are many modelers who are still rather new to the hobby that need/want to see these things that more mature modelers may see as boring or elementary!! Thanks for the cool Vids!
Well said, it’s the basic techniques that we think are “basic”, but many may see them as advanced, we need to start somewhere.
Thanks for tuning in and sharing your opinion/feedback.
William, I love that you’re rail fanning with your kids. My Dad took his kids rail fanning too! I’ve always loved the MILW. I’m designing my railroad now and have refocused it on the MILW in the WI river valley through Wausau in 1976 because of the life long love of trains I got from my Dad. Standing next to the Alcos RS3s and RSD5s as they lugged cars around the yard in Wausau. Fond memories. Thanks for putting the 7th season together!
Never seen this channel till now! Its pretty good, it's a mix of the evening news, and the announcement desk, at the asylum! I must watch again!
I’ve not heard this content explained so eloquently, you nailed it!
Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to post your take. I got a kick out it.
Good stuff! It's nice to see you bring your kids railfanning. I love the look on my daughters' faces when the engineer honks and waves at them when I take them with me, it really makes their day! Looking forward to the rest of the new season!
Thanks Joey, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover in the next 9 episodes. If you enjoyed this one, the next few are going to be pretty solid too…I hope, tomorrows just finished uploading…now yo start next Fridays. I’d like to be a few weeks ahead, but that’s not happening. 😬
Thanks for tuning in and sharing your thoughts. You’re spot on with the kids enjoyment, bringing you enjoyment. It’s fun to see them light up and the subtle honk from the engineer is priceless, it gets ‘em every time. We’ve had the opposite too, I’ve been flipped the bird more than once. I don’t lose sleep, I just wave back and in a few cases, took their picture.
Have a great weekend and hope ya enjoy tomorrows Ep.
5% of 95% of 91 episodes is what.wait. I didn't know there would be math. Great episode.
Greg, we can’t think to hard as modelers…we’ll waste all the good modeling time, trying to figure out the square root of the hypotenuse…calculating the height of an elevator. People modeling large industries are borderline nuts…no math needed there, that’s a fact! 😂
Yay! Heeee’s baaa-ack! Good stuff William. And folks, the HED is loads of fun, even though you can’t push flat cars off the end of the lumberyard spur anymore😢
Here's to 91 more of the best model railroad videos on TH-cam. Skol!
Vikings fan!?! You’ll enjoy tomorrows video…a tip of the cap to JJ.
Thanks for tuning in and sharing your feedback on the series. Greatly appreciated. Skol!
15:38 love the junkyard at home bodyshop look, random doors hood and fender
That car needs better wheels. Those ballon tires have gotta go.
Thanks for watching & posting what ya liked.
HOT MUSTARD !!! Awesome to see you back I've been suffering through SOO THE MILWAUKEE ROAD withdrawals 😂🤣 it's great to get a fix but seriously thanks for another fantastic episode and look forward to another season 👍 keep highballing hogger 👉
Nice weathering. Always good to see some fails and recovery processes as well. Thanks
aaaaand we’re back! Always a treat, but have my eyes on that orange/white pickup truck and a sneak peak of the weathered concrete silos…
I once did yoga with Alanis’ mother. True story. Great season opener and I always say this, but that was the fastest 18 minute video I’ve ever seen. Glad you’re back and not ballasting. The amount of time you put into that Civic is inspiring. Subtle details. Once I clean my big greasy meat hands maybe I’ll give it a try. But first… cat videos!
Mark, it’s great to hear from ya. Your posts are always top notch and filled with remarks that I get a kick out of. Those darn cats playing the piano is where it’s at. 😆
Thanks for posting & tuning in…be prepared to blink and gave 18 mins fly by tomorrow…*snap* “It’s over.”
Mark, how did we not comment on the Alanis’ mother & yoga statement?!? So many questions, did the Alanis apple fall far from the tree?!? Did you subject yourself to wear spandex?!? Last, but not least…and more importantly, “What brought you to doing yoga?!?” And please don’t say, “Alanis’ mom.” 🙈
@@SootheMilwaukeeRoad You know what they, what happens in yoga stays in yoga. 😉 Alanis was born and raised in Ottawa as was I. She became rich and famous and bought her parents a nice house in the country. We used to live in the country and were neighbours. My wife wanted to try it, I repeat, my wife wanted to try yoga and so we went. Once. Alanis’ parents are salt of the earth people. So now
I have a pair of $100 yoga pants from Lululemon that need a new home. (Catch the reference?)
Welcome back William. Very much looking forward to the new season! Love the civic build. Simple mods that have night and day results. I’ve learned to never throw out parts… u never know when they could be used. All the best -John
Hey Der William! Super Power aka Purple Power aka The Purple Pond LOL.. The post-it note for picking up the small parts is a great idea, I been using a "Gem Pick up Dotting Tool" that is used in Nail Art. Thank You for the tip on cutting off the mounting plate off the bottom of the car. Also, thank you for keeping the Curmudgeon segment!
Yay…..William is back! Yes, you are a real “in the weeds” detail guy but I love it. Thanks for all the weathering tips…..love that Taco Sauce.
You said it Mark…I’ve probably gone beyond the weeds and am lost the the forest by now. You’ll see tomorrows episode takes us to detail insanity, to the level of being “a LITTLE insane”. You’ll enjoy it for sure!
Who knew, “He’d put it on his taco if he could.” Would develop into a cult classic. Splitrock helped nudge it along, by actually spoofing the sauce on a taco.
It has been an easy go-to for all things weathering.
Thanks for tuning in, but more importantly, thanks for posting. I always like to hear from fellow modelers.
Thanks, William, ALWAYS fun and interesting....
Thanks Dwight! It’s great to hear from you and see ya at the local shows. I hope you enjoy the future episodes and we see ya out and about soon. Have a good one!
Welcome back, we have missed you. Good to see your here again. MILWAUKEE ROAD Rules!!! 🤘🤘
Put down the ballast and pick up the beer! Got to get the order right. Awesome episode.
Awesome video Will! Being a railroader, I've seen all sorts of off weathering on cars. If it looks weird to us, it doesn't mean it's wrong. It's based on your satisfaction. Great work on the N scale truck for the Second Section podcast winner!
Nice work as always! I'm excited to see what else season 7 has in store for us.
Tim, I swear, the adventure has just begun! 🙈 Thank you for keeping up with the episodes and hopefully the remainder doesn’t disappoint. I’ve got a feeling that Dave Hamilton fella will surface at some point…if not him, his RR or BOTH.
Great video William. Thanks for the tip about the post-its and small parts. I do a "10-minute tips" presentation in the LSR Division 6 meetings, and will include this one next time, with a link to your video.
Outstanding to see season 7. Great video with tons of useful info. Thanks for all the effort.
William, first - I'm ever so glad to have you back for another season! Fun and informative stuff. Second, a tip I got from another You Tuber - Mr. Clean Magic Eraser now comes in sheets It works very well to clean up extra "Taco Saouce", and it can be used to remove SOME excess weathering or to "feather" colors together. It also works well on some manufacturers factory lettering (allowing for easier renumberings, etc) I got mine at a large supermarket for just under $4, so it's not a bad investment.
You’ve peaked my interest, I’ll have to try it out. I’m currently trying to remove letting from a Division Point caboose…no magic, yet…
Thanks for the tip and for tuning in. It’s great to hear from fellow modelers, like yourself.
Thanks, William, glad to have you back! Enjoyed your turn on 2nd Section and here now as well. Was just reading about your layout (again) in Tom Klimoski's book last night. Looking forward to more updates. - Paul
Thanks Paul, we’ve got such a wide range of great modelers to draw from. It’s all about the information we can exchange with one another.
Thanks for tuning in and sharing your feedback. Have a good one!
I enjoyed this episode alot. But I'm not putting my beer down.
Great you are back :) nice episode again. I liked the segment with the little Honda, my friend used to have one like that, man it was small! A Renault is a car from France, We used to have them here in Canada back in the 80-90's
Finally, Welcome back, thanks for posting...... Oh ya could not understand the Crumedgun.
Tom, thanks for tuning in and the feedback on the Curmudgeon…I used an alternative program to edit the audio…let’s just say, I’m not totally sold on the method. I might rework the audio for future segments.
Keep an eye out for the future projects.
William thanks for sharing. Another enjoyable episode
Thanks for tuning in. It’s great to hear you enjoyed this episode, hopefully the future episodes don’t disappoint. 😉
Have a great weekend!
Welcome back!!!
Great episode!!
The weathering spot was great. Simple little things to make the cars stand out.
Another outstanding video William thanks for sharing my weathering.
Welcome back bud 👍😎,we missed you 👍
I'm glad you are back! I missed your entertaining and informative videos!!
It’s great to hear you’ve been enjoying the videos. Thanks for tuning in & sharing your feedback.
Have a great weekend!
Glad to have ya back, Even if the hiatus is a usual thing!
We’re only online for 20% of the year…that leaves 80% to be filled with Second Section, The Crossing Gate, Around the Layout…etc. 😂
Thanks for tuning in and sharing your feedback. Have a good one!
Welcome back! Good to see (and hear you). Thanks for the weathering tips👍 Love the humor!
Good to see another season has started! Thank for the weathering suggestions.
Thanks for tuning in and commenting John, we’ll see if we can’t mix in a few more weathering tutorials. Thanks again!
Great episode. I can't wait for the next one
Thanks for tuning in and commenting. If you ever have any questions? Ask away!
Have a great weekend!
William, Great episode! Love all the weathering examples. Looking forward to a great season 7
Great to have you back🎉
It’s good to be back! The content should get better as this season continues.
Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to post. Hope ya have a nice weekend!
Yup, flat base. Tried it on a few and do not like it at all. Much better results with my airbrush, powders or even oil washes. Welcome back!
You tried it too?!? So I’m not alone?!?
I’m with you on the products that yield the results I know work. It’s great to hear others are trying it too.
Thanks for tuning in and for commenting. This is where I learn a lot and get solid feedback.
@@SootheMilwaukeeRoad yeah. I tried it on a corinthe and counce athearn boxcar. Was going for a blue fade. It definitely wouldn't work as a one step fade but after messing with it with a few other techniques it looks ok. I would note that I got the result I wanted a lot faster without using flat base on the opposite side. Live and learn. Might be good for another application but I think I'm done with it for rolling stock. Maybe building exteriors... cheers
Welcome back so glad you are producing more episodes. Some interesting weathering techniques to try out. Keep the episodes coming buddy
You bet Paul! It’s great to hear from you. You’re modeling is inspirational as well, it’s fun to see what you’re up to and how you’ve shared your ProtoThrottle findings.
We’ll have to connect soon!
Great that your back!
It’s good to be back, now to get some more modeling done. 😎
First time viewer here from the UK. Saw you on Second section podcast the other night and liked what I saw. Andy
Was the episode worth the watch?
The podcast was a fun feed to be a part of, as subtle details can go a long way.
@@SootheMilwaukeeRoad Very much worth it. Informative and light-hearted as well. I'm on the same page as you with subtle details. Sometimes a slap round the face detail is needed but it's all the little things that add up
Great video William!!! And the audio snippets were a nice touch!!! Love what you did to that Honda civic (or as i call them extreme lawnmowers)!
😂 Thanks Andy!
“Where’s the taco sauce?!?” and “Greasy Meat Hands” are two of my favorite drops from this episode.
Those guys hosting the 2nd Section Podcast have a unique sense of humor. I dig it!
Thanks for aiding in launching Season 7. Have a great weekend!
Thanks William, Informative and humorous as always. Well done
It’s great to hear you’re liking the content…I’ve scaled back a little on the quirky sound effects and commentary…but to be honest, it’s hard to take my personality out of the videos. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the episode and for posting a comment to share feedback.
Another great episode! Glad you're back! Look forward to many more. =)
Thanks for tuning in Don!
It’s been fun putting these together and it’s great to hear from those who enjoy. Occasionally, I hear from those that don’t, which I welcome…it helps know what’s working and what’s not, right?
Thanks again and have yourself a great weekend.
Mustered Yellow, Powder Blue or White for the Honda, That is how I remember them, does that make me old? and yes I turned 56 like today....
Those are all must repaint colors…I’ve got a number of them. They only did blue and copper. White, Powder Blue & Mustard Yellow are doable.
56?!?! Tell that to a modeler in their 80’s!?! We’re young!
@@SootheMilwaukeeRoad that might be true... :)
Congratulations on #91 being in the books!
Have been looking for another new video for a while….
It’s great to hear you enjoy the episodes…a new one drops tomorrow. I’d like to think it’s just as good as this one, but they’re all unique in their own way.
Thanks again for posting & tuning in.
Hi William - You never disappoint with your content ...... always informative and entertaining. Great to see you kick-off Season 7. Thanks for the great tips! Mike
Thanks Mike!!! It’s an honor to receive praise from a modeler like yourself. I was just saying the other day, that your videos are top notch…I just rewatched your operations one, when I was out at my dads place. Your videos are so well done.
Thanks for tuning in and thanks for posting. It’s always great to hear from you.
Well! Apparently you didn't join that monastery like I thought. That was a looong weekend, though. 😄
For the second time you metioned a time of day in your video and when I looked at the clock it was almost exactly that time. You must be a wizard.
As usual, some of the best high detail modelling around. Cheers!
Thanks for tuning in and posting Frank. It’s always great to hear from fellow modelers and my hiatus?!? I about hung up doing them, but they’re oddly entertaining for myself to do AND progress gets made on my RR. So it’s a win-win.
More to come, if you’d like to see anything specific? Ask away. I can’t promise it’ll get covered, but it’s always good to know what people viewing, would like to see.
Take care and keep your eyes peeled for the future episodes.
@@SootheMilwaukeeRoad Since you asked, I don't understand operations beyond the very basics. Most channels DO ops videos, but DON'T explain it. If it fits your program, understanding the basics of operations interwoven into some of the shows would be great. If not, I'll still watch. 👈
You made the Honda look good.
Thanks, it turned out better than I thought. Those wheels really brought it back to earth.
Thanks again for the kind words and for tuning in.
Good to see you back man!
Hay, long time no see were, u bin hiding at, good to see u still at it, love your content, and your vision on detail.
Thanks for tuning in! The devil is in the details…that’s what makes the hobby fun, right?!?
Welcome back. I have been waiting for your videos
Hopefully we didn’t keep ya waiting to long!?! It’s good to be back, I take the time to record & post for modelers like yourself.
Thanks for tuning in!
Great video! I really enjoy your videos!
Thanks for tuning in, I’m glad you enjoy the videos. They’ve been fun to produce and it’s comments like this, that keep me motivated to kick out another season.
Wishing you the best on your modeling endeavors.
I've missed these, 91 is not enough
Thanks for tuning in Graham, if you watch them twice…then you’ve got 182 episodes. 😂 I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works.
More MN&S to come…I know you’re a fan, so I toss in the MN&S for those that appreciate the short-line.
Great episode! Inspiring tips
It’s a collective effort, isn’t it Ken?!? So many exceptional modelers to learn from. Including those s-scalers. 😉
Love the super clean, has helped a lot
It’s a great solution…I have found it to be an excellent product.
Thanks for sharing your findings, feedback on what works and what does not, is excellent to hear.
Always great! Learn so much and very entertaining!
Good weathering job William.
Thanks for the kind words, for tuning in and commenting, we’ll see if we can’t cover a few more weathering techniques throughout this season. So much to cover, so little time. Thanks again!
MV lenses, BG train world in Elgin IL. Mike and Liz is awesome and will ship, may have to call as they do not have these on the website.
Oh man, if I can get my hands on a few sizes?!? I’ll certainly give them a ring to see what they’ve got. I’m all for supporting the local hobby shops (no matter where they’re located).
I really like the patch job on your silos. looks like maybe white pencil or chaulk? This is a detail I would like to add to many of my silos. It might make an interesting how to in an upcoming episode. Thanks!!
16:06 Wasn't looking at the switcher... was noticing the "Lake States" on 6241... then I wondered why you were showing the switcher... D'oh! John BC, Canada (nee MN, WI)
Great video as always!
Thank you sir! It’s great to be back and to hear ya enjoyed the video.
Have a great weekend!
Hi Will. Have you heard? Scale trains announced at the Amherst show, new release of sd-40-2 in Soo line, ICG, Conrail. There's more roadnames as well. I can't wait for them. Thought you need to know Sir.
Another great video
Thanks Mike! I hope you’re doing well. We’ve not seen you at the local shows. Perhaps you’re traveling?!? Either way, have a great weekend!
If you're looking for a good lens that can actually be lit, (via an a SMD LED) Details West part # LN-341 is great. You can dip an LED in a dab of your favorite super glue and glue it right to the back of the lens. Fits right in most light housings.
Being a Car Guy I love the Purple Liquids, Being a Train Guy I love the Purple Liquids... Could this be a hobby crossover?
For sure! Do you model your 1:1 vehicles in 1:87 or 1:160…🤔
@@SootheMilwaukeeRoad I have a 160 scale version of my 1974 360 Plymouth Duster on the layout, I do not have of the 1999 Jeep Cherokee, 2007 Red T&C Mini Van, 1976 6.6 T/A or my VW Baja Bug aka AzBaja on TH-cam. But who knows, when I get more time :)
Heeeeees baaaaaaaaackkkkk!
Welcome back.
Welcome back William, not going to lie, started to get a little worried, lol. Is it time for the next one yet?
Oh boy!
The wait is over…it’s LIVE for all…now to start editing next weeks episode. 😬
Thanks for tuning in!
The PPG date stencil is probably when the car had the interior relined
You’re probably right…it was a random data date. I should have spent the time to put something legit. 🤷🏻♂️ Next time, right?
Thanks for sharing your observation and for tuning in.
Did I hear the SkyDogs!
Boy, that’s a deep cut…the SkyDogs would probably known as well as RUSH, but the bass guitarists for the SkyDogs got into model railroading, which derailed the trajectory of the band.
That is a FACT!
Not sure how much money people think you make from TH-cam?
If I can get me and 2/3rd of my kids some brown wrapper burgers at McDonalds, I have had a stellar month as a TH-cam influencer :) :) :)
TH-cam is a no money thing tell you are well past the 100,000 follower count or you have some super members program.
Went through all of the weathering crap with HO scale just like Kadee couplers, no more r i v e t Counting, just running trains and having fun.
That’s what it really comes down to…having fun with your RR. Tomorrow’s episode shows a RR in action, it’s fun to see fellow modelers brining their RR’s to life.
Thanks for posting & tuning in.
Maybe you know the answer to this question. Why are railroad hats blue&white strips?
Have to get me some of that taco sauce!
100% It’s a great medium to have on hand. Black & dark brown are great to start with.
Ogauge Trains plus slot cars approved 999999999999
😂 Thanks for posting!
I thought the white wash looked great! But then you ran it through the car wash?
Soap & bubbles…had to clean ‘er up!
Thanks for tuning in and sharing a comment. It’s great to hear from fellow modelers.
Are there videos of cats playing the piano? I gotta see that!
Just for you! th-cam.com/video/r_KxyIGGxPg/w-d-xo.html
🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃👍 good show
Thanks for tuning in Tom, hope ya have a great weekend!
I made a comment. ;)
the participation trophy is in the mail, way to set the standard 🤣🤣
are you still using the AA batteries in the protothrottle? what else did you do to slim it down? cheers
I’m actually using AAA batteries now…they’re smaller and have lasted months, without needing to recharge…yet.
I just filed the pins and PC board as far as I could. The spacers between the LCD screen and the processor were removed. It’s honestly something I won’t probably ever attempt again…as it’s very time consuming, only to slim it a few more mm’s. 🤷🏻♂️
Great episode! Can't wait for the next one!
If you’d like an extended version of this episode…checkout this Second Section Podcast: th-cam.com/users/livetAIcTW1S3Wo?feature=share
The hosts on the pod are interesting cats, but they’re alright once you get to know ‘em. 😉
