In this episode, we cover a weathering technique that matches the prototype...ergh, is close to it anyhow. We'll visit Mr. SOO LINE himself, Bob Rivard and take an overview of his RR. While stopping for a moment to push though to the end, by seeing a father-son duo, work together.
All of this and more, only in this episode of Soo The Milwaukee Road. - บันเทิง
Always great viewing and I enjoy 'em all! Thank you.
It’s great to hear you’re enjoying them. I have altered the content slightly, per feedback received, so it’s not too watered down…I hope. 😜
The box car weathering is awesome, thanks for sharing this!
Thank you kindly, it’s subtle and not the greatest outcome, but you get the idea. The previous users flat finish left a little to be desired, but that’s what is so enjoyable about the hobby…finding areas to improve.
Thanks for tuning in, sharing your feedback and hopefully you’ll enjoy future episodes. Take care!
Man this is THE way to do model videos. Loved the real footage thrown in there. It gives direction.
Spot on, how things look in our “era”…not everything is a rust-bucket.
Need more videos from Bobs awesome layout,please . Great video btw!!
More videos of his RR are coming…he’s a wizard with creating scenes & vignettes all over his RR.
Thank you for the New Video. Thank you to Mr Bob Revard for letting you Film his layout!
Bob’s a true gem here in Mpls…every time I see his work, I’m inspired to do the same.
Thanks for checking out the vid and posting your feedback on how it turned out.
Liked the shout out to Mike Budde. Great episode.
Thanks for noting that, Budde is a 1:87 vehicle guru!!! Nice guy too.
I guessed CB&Q. I remember seeing Burlington 85' cars as a kid. I miss the Milwaukee.
Im with ya Mike…the “Q” did have these cars as well, so you were close. Just a different number series. Im with in missing the Milwaukee, it’s all but gone. A former GP40 2010 sits at Humbolt, but it’s gotta be dead & drained, it’s not moved in YEARS!
I always enjoy your videos Bill, keep up the good work! The footage from Bob today was pure gold.
You said it Bill! Bob it a wizard and ahead of his time…recording the radio live, on camera, no editing. He’s been such a great help with the content he’s provided. I always wonder if people get bored with the prototype footage, but with the chatter on the radio?!? How could ya get bored. Next week you’ll be seeing a lot of your work on display. PDC.ca is where it’s at!
OMG, this is my introduction to season7, I have to catch up lol. Great look behind the scenes at Bobs layout. Have been a huge fan ever since I first saw his work in MR. Great weathering how too on that Boxcar William. The comment section is very exciting. Mark and Eric showing some antics, I love it. Cheers Rob
YOU’RE BACK ROB!!! It’s like the classmate that didn’t show up for the first week of school. Then out of the blue is like, “Hey guys!”
Mark & Eric have been carrying the proverbial torch in the comments feed. At this point, anything goes, so welcome to the frey Rob.
Fantastic work!
Thanks Douglas, you’ll see someone you may know in a future video. 🤔
$20 of sneaky purchases sounds like a deal anymore lol. Nice tie-in with the boxcar in the footage at the end.
Bob’s the influence that ties everything together…he’s got me catching stuff, that I never knew existed…grateful to get to know such a guy.
Ya don’t walk out for much at $20…more like $100! 😆
Thanks for sharing & tuning in.
Thaaaats the stuff! Love the full version!
A little better than the 2min video we started with this afternoon. 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for coming back to view the full length feature film. 👍
Another great video. Bobs use of the scanner while taking his video is fabulous. I've been using the Q-tips while weathering, really helps blending with the mineral spirits, so as to not overdo it. Keep up the good work!
Bob was wise to record the scanner chatter, it’s cool to hear the communications. It’s like attending a NHL hockey game, with a radio, to hear the play by play. The radio makes the game more enjoyable and the RR videos more entertaining. Could you understand what the GP40’s engineer was saying as he signed off?!?
Thanks for following, now to complete a few more projects and maybe do an update on the GN in 1970?!? 🤔
Another awesome video. I have a whole fleet to weather, but maybe I'll wait until retirement. :) Loved seeing Rivard's layout, and hearing the crew chatter! Thanks! - Paul
The crew chatter is GOLD!!! “It’s gold Jerry, GOLD!”
You’ll find time to dial in your fleet…try weathering a car a week or once a month and by the time you’re retired?!? You’ll have ready to roll rolling stock. 🤔
Thanks for watching & posting!
@@SootheMilwaukeeRoad I’ve got 20 more feet of layout to build first. 😁
Bob has an incredible layout.
It’s WILD! He’s done a great job finding ways to work in various parts of the lines he models.
This episode was well worth the wait and glad you were able to overcome the technical difficulties uploading the video. The radio communications between the crews was fantastic. It gives you and idea of ways to add that type of communications to an ops session. Thanks for the tour of Bob's layout, it is nice to see how others model a prototype line. I enjoyed seeing how you weathered the doors, great techniques that I'll have to apply to my next weathering job. Already looking forward to the next episode.
You nailed it as always Tom, killer feedback. As I know you’re a former “hogger” and get the prototype world. That’s one of the best elements of your videos, you bring us into the actual movements and that brings life to our RR’s. Thank you for being a positive influence to so many and sharing what you do. Anyone that hadn’t seen your videos by now, needs to check ‘em out the Georgia Northeastern is such a cool little RR. Let’s hope S07E04 gets up the hill, without needing a pusher. 😆
@@SootheMilwaukeeRoad Thanks for your comments on my videos and my contribution to the hobby. That means a lot to me to hear that from excellent modelers like yourself. With S07E04 you need to notch up slowly, turn the sanders on, and tell the pusher to start wigglin, and it will get up the upload hill just fine! 😉
Wow-what fun!!
The helper crew sound just like an ops session on OJL!
William, I tried the taco sauce, it tastes terrible,now my tongue is black, but it has a lot more detail. Just kidding! Great video, love anything Bob Rivard and your weathering. Cheers John.
John, try thinning the taco sauce with mineral spirits...it should bring your tongue to a more grey tone. 😉 Thank for the kind words, Bob's a rockstar and great guy all around. It's always a fun time when you're "rail-fanning with Rivard"...in the prototype or model RR.
That's a really nice lookin' BN car! Another great episode, by the way. Love the tips, love the layout tours, love the old prototype videos. Feeling slightly called out by the curmudgeon this week, though; I've had my share of sneaky purchases..
You’re not alone on the sneaky purchases, we all fall prey to it at some point in our modeling careers.
Thanks for the kind words, for tuning in and posting your feedback.
I could watch you weather a car for 20 minutes. I ‘think’ it’s just you weathering it. All those voices sounds like you have a team working on it. The Taco Sauce Team.
“I’m shovin the slack in” “Just wiggle it” Sounds like how my Valentine’s Day went.
I’m living my 4th childhood. Still waiting for adulthood. Great show William!
Mark, thanks to you, I've gotta clean up the beer that was spit across the room (reaction, while reading your comment). With your chatter, how have you not broken the internet?!?
200 feet of track and 300 feet of rolling stock. The Curmudgeon is right on.
Don’t we all have that vision, “Oooo, that’s nice, gotta have it.” Ending up with more than one is able to use. 🙋♂️ Guilty!
Excellent video, unfortunately I've missed all but the first of this season, guess I'll just have to play catch up and binge watch today! I myself am a fan of those big HiCube auto parts cars, I have a bunch of the 86" and 60', love the weathering on those doors, I will say your videos is what turned me on to the Tamiya washes and the AK pencils, I ordered a bunch of them after I started following you, great to know Bob Rivard is still at it, Bob was one of my early inspirations when I started out, used to love seeing his work in MR, really cool to see his layout in operation, I like the helix view at 10:18, saw one of the "Dolly sisters", the old prototype footage is awesome, railroading just seemed more casual back then, especially the radio conversations, love when the train went by and the guy on the caboose and the other on the switcher leaning on the rail chatting, what the Curmudgeon said rings true I'm going to the train show in Rock Island tomorrow and I'm sure I'll be guilty, great work as always, catch you in the comments on the next one
Keen eye to catch that RS27 “Dolly Sister” at a quick glance…fast action leads to LOTS of opportunity to catch things, even at a blink of an eye.
16:35 I put my bets on ATSF, until you said 1982 as a set date/year... when Frisco was acquired by BN. My guess changed to B. John
Nicely done John, I was wondering if anyone would pickup on the Frisco merger with the BN. Solid pivot and well done!
Bob has a cool looking layout.
It’s WILD! He takes prototype to a new level and has been doing so for years. There’s a story behind every car he’s created…did you know, if it’s on his RR, he’s got a photo to prove it’s existence!?! Fun stuff.
Hope all is well and you’re progressing on your RR.
Weather or not...that is the question. Very entertaining. Roll on.
Thanks John! It’s great to hear from ya.
Congrats on retirement Bob! Big fan of your layout, Will's layout too, and this channel! Currently planning out my own Soo Line layout set in Upper Michigan and this has been an invaluable resource!
That’s great to hear, I’ll have to let Bob know he’s received a congrats on his retirement. He’s enjoying it a great deal.
Thanks for tuning in & posting.
Holy Crap Onna Cracker .... THE area I used to railfan frequently ..... Chooch (BOB) was close friend of mine when I lived in the Cities.... when you see him again, tell him Railratist (Mike Penn) says "Hey Dude" ......
Mike, I just talked to Bob the other night. I'll see him in person in a week or so, I'll certainly send a "Hey Dude..." from the Railartist (Mike Penn).
Retirement is great!
You and Bob are doing it right...I hope you're enjoying your second childhood Graham. Living the dream!
Sneaky purchases... 🤣🤣 Good lord, we've all been there.. 😛
Isn’t that the truth. 😆
Those sneaky buys are always the good ones, but the wife seems to disagree!
So true! Recently a pair of Milw Rd 45’ Trailers & two TOFC flats followed me home. 🤷🏻♂️ It’s tough to walk away, when they’re screaming, “Don’t leave me here!” 😆
@@SootheMilwaukeeRoad 🤣
I'm confused. Is the number 2 main repaired? :-)
“What was that?” 😂

Mixed freight…👆
Captain Obvious, have you ever seen the back side of water?????
😂 Where do ya come up with these comments?!? You & Mark have the most random chatter…I always look forward to hearing from you guys.
There is a picture of it on the back of a box of Dried Water ...-just add water .
The guys talking on the radio sound so old..
That is more meat than a 6 meat WhatABurger, no space at all for the bun... just all meat...
This thing was a beast to edit…I’m not sure if I’ll record many more segments live. It takes forever to cut up…but it did taste pretty good, once I trimmed all the fat off. 😜
