Dan you will be missed,as one of the very best modelers, your insight and skills are second to none. Good luck in your new ventures, thanks for all you have thought the masses.
Dan's a really great modeler, for sure. Don't be too disappointed, as there are other really great modelers who are likely to make appearances from time to time here. Stay tuned!
Yes, but he has decided there are more important things to do, and I wish him the best of luck with all that. There's some really cool stuff planned for this year that will be even better than what you have seen in years past.
Thanks Dan for all that you have shared. So much enjoyed the Dan's models segments. Hope that they will still be available to watch. Sorry to see you go.
Sorry to see Dan go and thanks for all that you shared. He will be missed. He really sparked my interest in the hobby and answered many questions that I had through his videos. He covered a lot of subjects in detail, which helped beginners like me immensely. Sorry to see him go. For the next person that takes his place; they will have big shoes to fill.
One more tool suggestion. I use emoryboards with two sides, rough and smooth for all kinds of sanding, removing nubs after cutting a piece of a sprue etc. I also cut them down into smaller pieces and use them like sanding sticks in tight spaces. An unrelated comment from your session on passenger cars. Regarding the articulated cars on SP. Articulated cars were first tried on the Zephyrs of CB&Q as well as UP and the SP. The idea of eliminating one truck was a weight saver particularly when they were trying to build light fast trains like the pioneer zephyr. You could save hundreds of pounds by eliminating one truck. Eventually Burlington and SP realized that the draw back as that if an articulatecd car went out of service both cars in the pair were sidelined, or the entire train in the case of the Pioneer Zephyr. Really appreciate all the work you put in on the videos you post, both the 101 and layout tours. Outstanding! Bill Bruff Modeling the Cal-P line of the SP
Guys: I love these TSG Multimedia videos. They are well produced and masterfully done. Thanks Dan and John. However........... I do not understand any reason for the blasting acid rock, heavy metal music at the beginning and end of the videos. At the beginning I get blasted with it until I'm ready to fight, randomly mate, or go for my gun. Blood pressure up 50 points. Then, this soothing voice personality (Dan) comes on and calmly narrates the video. Blood pressure drops 50 points and I'm in learning mode. Then, all of a sudden at the end, it's back up to fight, mate, or go for your gun. Makes no sense; one is not compatible with the other. If this were a video about cage fighting or drag racing, I might get it. Otherwise............??? Anyway, best of luck to Dan. And, thank the Lord for John.
Having to rekit out my lost hobby tools, these last two videos have been gratefully helpful. Also I do want to point something out to everyone here, when it ocmes to rotary tools, DREMEL. QUality tools do matter and every list of tools from Model Railroader to Garden Railroader, their lists specificalyl say Dremel because tat is the best rotary tool you can get your hands on. Dan leveling up with his hobby knife is how I felt when I got my first dremel lol
Pity that dan won’t be here in the future. I’m gonna miss his narrations, but the good part is I own several shows in which he narrates. My personal favorite is the 2472 in niles Canyon. Anyway, good episode, as always, looking forward to more of your narrations John.
Several years ago someone gave me a ton of N scale trains because I use N scale. Well taught myself a hard lesson; don't use 3 in 1 oil to lube your locomotives. The will run but they won't move 😂
Can you guys do a video about wiring? I have no clue what bus wires and all the other wires are/do and could you do something about power routing? I don’t know how to give my track power since I have loads of switches and things.
Priorities change with your life situations. It is not really for anyone else to judge, but to wish him the best of luck and to keep the door open if he ever wants to come on as a "guest celebrity" in the future!
I know for sure Kadee makes 'em (don't know of any others) and so I believe if you can't find them at your local hobby shop, the Kadee website, or perhaps MicroMark website.
No that is already done and scheduled. Any of the stuff that is in process right now on the channel will finish as planned. Check out next week's podcast for updates about the rest of the programming.
Thanks for the update John. Definitely looking forward to next weeks podcast to see where you go from here. Gotta tell you MR101 and MBSTF are two of my favorites
Will definitely miss your presence on the show. Great model building skills along with an enjoyable presentation of the material. Best wishes in whatever you pursue!!

Really disappointed that Dan isn't with TSG anymore..Great episode of MR101!

Thanks Dan for all that you have shared. So much enjoyed the Dan's models segments. Hope that they will still be available to watch. Sorry to see you go.
I can't imagine why the videos would not remain available!

No need to worry about shoes being filled. Stay tuned for more great content, and never say never!
great video. hate to see dan go but i know you will do great john, looking forward to future episodes.
You bet!

This is my favorite series on TSG, its giving me a huge urge to start up my trains again. You guys are sweet : )
Thanks for watching! Please share it with your friends too!

Acid rock?
@@tsgmultimedia Call it what you will..........
@@mikedurhan9941 It was "theme music" :))
Instead of an X-acto knife, I use an ApproX O knife. Tolerances aren't nearly as precise.
Cool.. I have maybe half or better of the tools you described.. got my list.. thanks for sharing and keep up the great work... Lance
Awesome suggestions, im going to have to reference this video from time to time to make sure i have the correct tools.
Great video Dan and John

Thank you very much
Great video like always
Gonna miss Dan...
I like the #2 blade, i preffer the bigger red handled knife. I miss my old ConCor n scale, scale rule very handy

I narrated 2472 :))
Several years ago someone gave me a ton of N scale trains because I use N scale. Well taught myself a hard lesson; don't use 3 in 1 oil to lube your locomotives. The will run but they won't move 😂
Cool this is helpful
So we talking $4,000 in materials.¿¿¿¿??¿?? 🤠 LMAO you guys are good. Been doing trains h o scale for years.. keep up the great work , joe
Yes we are! :)
Can you guys do a video about wiring? I have no clue what bus wires and all the other wires are/do and could you do something about power routing? I don’t know how to give my track power since I have loads of switches and things.
This in on the list of future topics. I do not know when I will get to it though.
Very informative. Thanks!
Oh and, :-O
Great video as always. But Im confused. Is there a reason why Dan left? Will you post a vid on the situation? We'll all miss you Dan!
Priorities change with your life situations. It is not really for anyone else to judge, but to wish him the best of luck and to keep the door open if he ever wants to come on as a "guest celebrity" in the future!
I found this very informative. But a general question, what types of cameras do you use for railfanning?
I currently have Canon XA series cameras that I use in studio and in the field.
Waited all day for the Podcast to appear.. still waiting :(
Today wasn't Saturday!
Oh, yes. The first Saturday of the Month... NOT the 1st (of the Month).
Drat.
This means more waiting. :P
WTactualF??!!
I feel like I just got a swift steel-toed boot to the nards.
Shocked.
Saddened.
No need for all that, now. :)
Yes but.. how, now, will we ever see HO Scale locomotive rooftop fans that actually spin???
(Sorry.. my humor is weak in times like these :( )
I don't think we were ever going to see that anyway! :))
Where can you find trip pin pliers?
I would try the train shop first. If they don't have them, check online.
I know for sure Kadee makes 'em (don't know of any others) and so I believe if you can't find them at your local hobby shop, the Kadee website, or perhaps MicroMark website.
I know it’s off topic, but how do you make a program track?
Mine is connected to my computer through a SPROG II interface and I run JMRI on the computer. Works great.
@@tsgmultimedia Yeah but I have digitrax and I’m not that savvy with computers. How do you make a regular program track?
I'm not that savvy with Digitrax. I'd recommend checking the Digitrax documentation.
I think that's an O scale piece of cheesecake.
WTF!! are you kidding!! NO DAN!!!
Very disappointed to learn Dan will no longer be contributing
That makes two of us! He has other priorities, though, so we press on.
John will you be finishing the Owl Mountain series?
No that is already done and scheduled. Any of the stuff that is in process right now on the channel will finish as planned. Check out next week's podcast for updates about the rest of the programming.
Thanks for the update John. Definitely looking forward to next weeks podcast to see where you go from here. Gotta tell you MR101 and MBSTF are two of my favorites
Indeed. I just finished recording the podcast here today. Lots of cool stuff is being planned.
WTF no Dan!!! Really!! How do you depart from train life ?? Did he die?? Nobody departs from train life ever!!
It is baffling in many ways!
It's like the Mafia you can't quit. There's only one way out.
Will definitely miss your presence on the show. Great model building skills along with an enjoyable presentation of the material. Best wishes in whatever you pursue!!
If you ever want to show them off you're always welcome at "the TSG studio!"
... that raises more questions than it answers ...
Words are not enough to express the loss I feel, but I wish you every success :)
