THANK YOU FOR GREAT DETAILED SUPER VIDEO AS ALL GREAT WATCHING EVERY TIME
I was sitting here wondering how best to do an intermodal yard when this popped up. Never heard of the Dap cement, looks great and better than plaster. Thanks!
Thank you for another brilliant What's Neat Model Railroad Hobbyist
Thanks for sharing, great episode 👍
Should you power the track anyway, in case you want to shoot lighted cars or locomotives?
Brilliant video
@ken – Lowe's in Festus shows it has the gallon size tub of Dap's concrete patching ready-mix.
Looks great
Best weights I have found are cans of soup of vegetables. Set them on their sides and let the track hold them in place. The track will keep the cans from rolling off.
I also use Dap 230 for gluing lichen
Awesome Ken. The diorama came out fantastic. The Bachmann segment was nice to see what they have available.
Why don’t you use real rock ballast
If you vibrate all that ballast will lay right down nice and even
N scale layout build – part 1 | July 2021 WHATS NEAT Model Railroad Hobbyist / Is there a Part 2 ?
Real quick question has any company made the new UP boxcars yet the all yellow ones with the numbers on the top?
What ever happened with the n scale layout? Was it ever finished? Or did I miss the part 2 video?
I bet it's a tough choice as a manufacturer of large scale to decide between 1:32 and 1:29. I'm so glad they chose 1:29, as the Charles Ro/USA Trains was my choice a decade ago. I'm surprised they made that choice, but very happy they did. (Please, Bachmann, remember to put the scale in your ads for large scale items, as it's very helpful for us old timers, and vital for a new guy. Thanks.)
Ken, although I have seen you do some of this before, I always appreciate watching HOW you do the magic that you do!
hello ken its is randy and i like u video is cool ken and i like u building a rail yard diorama cool ken thanks ken friends randy
Still no progress on the N scale pike.
Great video, Ken. I got a lot of new ideas. Thanks for showing 😊
😀
Many thanks, I find the tutorials very useful. One question: if this was for running, how would one clean the rails in cement?
The yard diorama is just outstanding!
So real! It looks like we had @ my employment. Chrysler Fenton, Missouri. The Roka Models are very nice! I model Missouri Pacific Railroad from 50's, 60's, & 70's. I always look forward to the new items from Bachmann. Thank You! I always love the runby's! Thanks Ken!
