Many, many years ago those cars came with 2 strips of green glazing for the clerestory window. I always enjoy seeing your projects come to life. Thanks.
It’s too bad that MDC Roundhouse kits are no longer available. Many of these kits found a home with me. They were inexpensive and readily lent themselves to kit bashing. The 30’ “old time” flat car became one of my favorite project cars. I needed some hi side gons so I started remaking the flat, worked great. Thanks for sharing this build with me.
All the talk of the hordes of tourists streaming into Thunder Mesa makes we want to visit. Where’s the Grand Lodge Experience gonna be located! Could see a Grand Canyon mission style structure, heavy timber Yosemite lodge, or at least some Yellowstone Old Faithful cottages. Plus a little depot of course. 😊
This is what keeps me investing time on TH-cam in general and Thunder Mesa specifically: Dave's expertise and talent and creativity! Stellar in every facet!
I love that somebody else uses tacky glue as a final assembly glue. I primarily build model cars but tacky glue is how i hold the final model together, although I use liquid cement, epoxy and super glue for load-bearing assemblies.
Dear Dave, love the way you’ve used the 35 thou thick laser board. Great tweak to the Gruesome Gulch version of the excursion cars. Beautiful how the different laser cut layers stand out, even in the unpainted version. Beautiful how the letter boards give the car some extra dimension and charm. Very cool that this is just a printed paper technique. As always it’s awesome to see you put these car scratch builds, or kit bashes together. Cheerio
Nice to see some model builds again. The move was interesting but nowhere near as relaxing and satisfying as watching a build come together. Excursion car looks fantastic.
Great first built in the new studio Dave. The excursion car looks great behind the engine 4 or 5 more will look even better. Thanks for sharing your skills and imagination with us. GOD BLESS 🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕
Soooo cool! Might consider using an olde gondola or flat car to make your open air cars, (just to have an odball). But, I am taking notes on your processes.
Another amazing build I look forward to you building thunder Mesa Railroad steam locomotive number 3 named after the Imaginaire who created the nature’s Wonderland Rainbow Ridge mining train
So TMSR and TMMC are two companies under the same management, sounds like the D&RGW and RGS, let’s just hope that Thunder Mesa will keep a much better safety record.
Dave, I've always wondered if you would revisit the GG excursion cars. I was captivated when I first saw that video, and have been working up a version of my own. Thanks for the inspiration.

Awesome video! I look forward to your builds every week. Congratulations on the new locations. One question, the car looks a little tall compared to the locomotive, was that intended? or is that how 0n30 is represented. I have zero experience in 0n30. The only thing I know is what I have seen in your videos. Thanks

I had forgotten about that

Congratulations on a successful move and apparently retaining your sanity!
Very nice project. It's good to see you building again.
Always good to see a build. Any content you post is worth watching.
Good to see you at the bench.....where I'm going after this!!!
It’s nice to see you modeling again! You seem at home in your new space.
Very nice build! And a great first project for the new Thunder Mesa home.

HUMMM,, Off to the workshop, love this one!!
A very nice model car, great work.👍👍
Nice break in of the new space! Looking forward to seeing the finished excursion train in the future!
Your work is so amazing. That came out spectacular

Amazing, the car looks incredible! I do not have the vision nor ability to come up with something like that, you are a true artist!
You need to build a ranger station. Cool opportunity to explore some of the “parkitecture”
That is an interesting idea!

Dave, glad to see the creative juices are flowing in the new studio, can’t wait to see what you come up with next!!! Keep moving forward, my friend.
It's always a pleasure!!!
You are such a talented modeler Dave and a huge inspiration to us all!
Thank you
Always amazing!😊😊😊❤
Great job, looks wonderful.👍

Really looks good.
Nice work in the new studio Dave. Thanks Peter from downunder.

good build 👍

Very nice build. Looks great. Would you mind sharing where you get your laser board. Thanks.

That's as intended. All passenger equipment is going to look tall next to one of those Porters. They are tiny!
Hey, I was just wondering why you don't use metal wheels? Edit: You just answered it... KDs later literally seconds after😂
