Scratch Building Parts for the Chama Coaling Tower with Evergreen Plastic

- We have been working on the Chama coaling tower in 1:20.3 scale for the last few months. This week we are scratch building the coal grates and coal buckets with Evergreen plastic.
Our current Covid project is the large scale Chama coaling tower for the locomotive shop on the indoor section of our indoor-outdoor large scale railroad. While mostly built from wood, some of the detail parts need to be built from plastic and brass. The coal grates are made from strips and "I" beam shapes with angle plastic and brass rods.
The coal buckets are sheet plastic with a bit of strip plastic and "I" beam as well and brass rods and white metal wheels that will ride on the vertical tracks. They also use Archer decal rivets. A great way to add rivet detail.
AND we are pressing on with benchwork! Because the woodpile is in the way of a needed parking spot. So a short break for the next few weeks as we shift to the benchwork on the logging branch, the city section in the kitchen, and the "bog". The section running quickly through the bathroom....

Evergreen is great for ongoing projects. Love it.
I like working and would but I think I prefer working at Evergreen plastic. For one thing it just builds up into something much stronger
OK I AM A SUBSCRIBER AND ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR SCREWING AROUND TIME YOU BOTH ARE VERY ACCOMPLISHED MODEL BUILDERS. AND YOUR COMMENTS ARE INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE I DO THANK BOTH OF YOU AND YOUR PROJECTS. THANK YOU BOTH AGAIN I AM HOOKED ON YOUR CHANNEL AND VIDEOS. JIM KAMMERER OF PHILADELPHIA PA 👍😷😷😷🚂🚂👍👌🙏
Hi Jim! Thanks!! Stay safe there in Philly..
Love the concrete walls.
They came out great!
Very cool project
More on it comming. Oddly moved on, or back? to building benchwork. Need to use up my wood. Its in the way!
@@ToyManTelevision completely understand. We have taken a break from our outside 7.5 railroad to work on our HO railroad, until it warms back up.
Looks great!! Cant wait to see more.
Back on the coal buckets soon. First get the logging line back up.
The railroad is looking great! Thanks for making this wonderful videos.
thanks!! Im back on benchwork. ARUG! But almost ready to get back to the coaling tower
All the "Grate" jokes are just Great!!!
How grating was this video. I was riveted to the bench work that was being preformed. As you both lumber away while keeping Covid at bay. Keep up the grate work and the punishment also.
Punishing... HI. Hope you are well. I'll be happy to get back on the coaling tower, but now I'm messing with scenery on the loging line! GEEEEZZZ...
@@ToyManTelevision I know a good pun when I steel one.
I had forgotten about the New Rex Hotel sign. I would love a detailed video tutorial for 1:12 scale! That would be "Grate"!
Seriously, I would find the tutorial extremely helpful, and I love vintage nean! Thanks! You two are grate! Lisa
The other sign will be larger. Huge. Just says HOTEL vertically. With the E flickering
@@ToyManTelevision Remember the movie called Motel Hell? The sign at the motel was actually Motel Hello, but the O didn't work. Strange movie with Rory Calhoun in it.
Both of your modeling is just grate. I cannot wait to see the village complete with interiors. I always enjoy your shows. Merry Christmas and A Better New Yew to you and your families.
Thanks!!!!!
If you have to be in, you might as well have some fun. Both of you certainly are. This is an educational time for me watching how this comes together. In shorter time than we know, you will be back outside. Looking forward to that because it will be new concrete time for me from the back of the property to front curb including carport. 1962 they did really poor work in residential developments.
Yup. And raised planter for the railroad for us.
What a great vidio,,! ...
Thanks!
Just a grate video!
Thanks
I see all the hand sanitizer doing a number to all of us. Looks great!
Crafts really tear them up! And cold.. And sanitizer..
The advantage of large scale. If I tried that in N scale I would super glue my fingers together. Gotta protect and shelter the Mustangs!!!
Gee gluing yur fingers together is part of the fun! Or.. Anyway every evening im using a stone to "sand" y fingers..
@@ToyManTelevision So after I wrote that I managed to glue mine again when I thought I had the gel stuff but really had the very runny stuff. I used finger nail polish remover to get them apart. I get funny looks at the check out register when I buy a couple of bottles of that stuff at a time.
BTW, if you ever have to seal a leak in a carburetor float, nail polish works great. It is impervious to gasoline.
Wow, I've said it before, You two are amazing. Your attention to detail is fantastic. I wish I could be there to see everything. Amazing! Merry Christmas and have a peaceful and joyful Christmas. Stay safe and healthy! ❣️😇🎄❄️🙏
Somday perhaps! Post Covid...
great video.. love the "new rex hotel" sign
I need to build the BIG one. Vertical HOTEL with the E half messed up. Flickering.
This is awesome! Well done 👏🏻
HI and THANKS!
Merry Christmas Dale and Karen. Best Wishes from Australia.
Hi again????? How’s that train? All well there?
Great video as always! Merry Christmas to y’all! 🇺🇸
Nice!
Thanks!!
@@ToyManTelevision you’re welcome!
that was a "grate" video as always guys! Nice job and Merry Christmas to you both!
Hi Mac Guy... I bought a 128 right off the truck in 1984! The line was a quarter mile long! No matter... Thanks for watching!
Amazing model toyman!!!! I'm attempting to scratch build a paper steam locomotive with a metal frame!!!!!!!!!
Sound tricky! We’ve seen some incredible paper models
@@ToyManTelevision it truly is and its frustrating me beyond believe but the punished product will coult for everything!
The platform should be a 10 when complete, but one should be grateful for 9 3/4.
Thanks. Lol!!
I found this one quite riveting,but also grating.Anyway you both did a great job.Merry xmas and HNYr.
Lol!!!! Thanks.
Dale, Northwest Short Line is in business and was purchased by a former employee as I recall.
Thanks! Yes some people directed me to the website. Most of the products discontinued but these tools are still available
Great modeling, as an aside, NWSL is still in business!
Knew the tools were available but didn’t know they were still around.
WOW, amazing work! Both of you fantastic artists. Wish I knew all of the things you do! Any future thoughts to make it an active part of your layout? Would be great to see the tower working. Have a very Merry Christmas!!!
Naw.. just static. I thought about it but as its right against the backdrop you cant see much of this detail anyway... But just for fun really build it out. I am planning sound! Back when we were trying to laod a locomotive with the real tower, 91? Anyway I recorded sound...
I love your videos but I have to say it seems that there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish all that you two do! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I always know when you upload a new video I'm going to have a Great Time and like many others also have said a "Grate" time. Stay safe!
Thanks. Been working on a Christmas goose. Well 3 of em. Check Tuesday. Stay safe. Stay in when ya can. Get the vaccine 💉. We are ASAP.
NWSL is now in Montana
Cool. I know the chopper and true sander are still made. Just didn’t know if it was stillNWSL.
@@ToyManTelevision Just bought a Chopper III from them a little over a year ago. nwsl.com/
Great show! Can’t wait for the next show! You guys are doing great! Now will the train go around all of the rooms and then back? Or is it going to be were you turn it to on side and turn it around then back then turn around?
Yup the latter. Loop to loop outside with a dead end into the building. So in the shop a single track about 60 feet and turntable.
@@ToyManTelevision Oh nice! Can’t wait to see it done and running it will look great!
maybe putting your old friends as streetnames for your city section? specially that your friend pass away (i forget his name, but i mean the guy that make wonderfull trees)
Plan.
Didn't get the chance to add my witty comments. You are doing a great job on the coaling tower. What else can I say. Are you going to use N scale rail for the coal bins? Always interesting never boring.
The "tracks" are channels Im using brass... HARD TO FIND and also evergreen plastic as the tracks bend at the top.
Sooo how many sessions are broken up by a "coke out" with cola .... And maybe with doughnuts . A very interesting modelling forte 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Deep fried coke... hum...
Short for coca-cola drinking too much 👍🏻👍🏻😎
What and where are the plans your working from? Thanks
Great shows and great work.
Hi. From david at Hartford/ Ozark. But he just got them off the interweb. He printed them some sheets in 1:20.3 some in 1:22.5. So sort of confusing at times!
Nwsl is still around just under new management by the employees as the original owners retired
And all locomotive scratch builders and tuners like me are relieved to hear that!
I know you can get this direct from Evergreen...
i know what you getting for christmas this year.....
notebooks :D for writing it down :D
but don't worry i also using math on many things (even mine co-workers hate it and are impressed that i calulated to fast for them, yeah the most doing out mine head )
I can’t get it right (write) unless I do the math on a wrapper. Which is fine until I need to show the Bank or IRS.
An optical conclusion.
Hi tom! Yup. Or delusion. Or seclusion? Na. Let’s stick with conclusion.
And your heavy Square weight is more commonly a "ANGLE PLATE"
I love it. And now I know. Thanks 🙏
Hey I sent you a message on FB (your page not channel) about where to get Dullcoat.
Thanks! I bought some rustollym. And the Testors is all over ebay but for 15 to 20 bucks! Anyway, Ill test what I bought.
Northwest Shortline is still around ! nwsl.com
Thanks!!
