My Finger Lakes Railway Layout, set in Watkins Glen NY, features videos of layout tours, how to, switching, operations, a little history, and a little humor delivered in a relaxed, easy-going style.
FAQ's
Q: Why do you have an FGLK loco with number 1995? That doesn't even make sense!
A: I know #1995 is not prototypical for FGLK. But FGLK was born in 1995. So there you go. It also sets the tone for my proto-freelance style.
Q: Why do you copy Boomer?
A: Because I want to improve my skills. And I want to show that you don't have to be an artist to get good results with his techniques.

Slapchop Painting Miniature Figures
question for you do you buy your locos with the finger lakes railway premade only one I can find is like 290 dollars or do you just add decals because I can buy them for 10 dollars
They're decal jobs. Have you looked on eBay? Also try the hobby shop in Geneva NY. Lake City Hobbies I think.
@@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout i havent been home since last august I do know the store your referring to been there a couple of times also remember seeing it in my younger days when we would hit up the bars lol. I'm surprised they are still in business ill check then out though so let me ask you this if you buy a loco that says NYC on the side is there a way to remove it and just add the finger lakes decal? without an entire repaint? also since you mentioned ebay I have rolling stock I bought from a guy on there custom job he has some finger lakes cars he does
@@Rememberingcivilwarhistory7744 Yes check out my friend Paul Stamp's video - ruclips.net/user/shortstKweamxoOR8?si=3tqZVLRknMr3hjJY - He models the Finger Lakes Railway too!
@@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout awsome thank you that im gonna try it on some shells i have you know that big navy barge in the middle of the seneca lake my father use to work on that
@@Rememberingcivilwarhistory7744 oh wow, that was supposed to be top secret, they wouldn’t let boats get near it. I’d like to know more about it.
your in watkins glen thats awsome im from romlus
Cool! I grew up near Watkins Glen but I live in SC now.

Looks great, nice detail and operations.
Thanks Don, I appreciate it!
Gorgeous, just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the transition of that toyish model into a realistic scale model.
Thanks man! I really enjoyed doing it.
Always enjoying what you put out there. Stay tuned my friend 52
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Pretty cool little project. I learned a lot. It was pretty simple process. Thank you.
Thanks! Yup, it was quick and easy. And fun!
That looks great Bill. Got the gravel dust on the tires just right..
Thanks Pappy!
nice ops Bill
Thanks I appreciate it!
that came out nice
Thanks, I'm pretty happy with it!
Great job! Love how you clipped the bucket-tips ('tines') off -- something often overlooked! Flat "cutting-edges" are indeed popular in quarry settings for their ability to smoothly clean up the pit 'floor' and roads.
Thanks Isaac! It made sense to me too 😎
Detailing the small things like this makes a huge difference
I agree! 👍Operations are much more enjoyable when you've got some eye-candy to look at 😁
@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout so many layouts have out of the box cars and buildings. It drags your eyes right out of the scene against all the weathered freight cars.
@@B2Pproduction You're right. The tiniest thing can ruin the whole experience. For example, someone might have the coolest photo backdrop, but the seam has come loose and there is a gap. And now it is just a piece of paper... And I can't stop looking at it
@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout absolutely, and it's such a shame when something like that happens
bill... great work !!! as we previously "discussed", you know i engineered the demolition of both nuclear and rx plants for well over 30 years, and i can say the loader looks real sharp !!! it has that nice dull patina to it we see prototypically in the field. is it fair to assume she will also do some salt loading and/or movement as well ??? as i am sure you know by way of your salt facility models, a touch-up of brown rust from salt eating away at her is a possibility !!! in real life, my bprr, and its parent company genesee and wyoming rr, haul tons of salt from the mine in retsof, n.y. ( which is getting close to where you grew up, but not quite, right ?)and the smaller hoppers look absolutely eaten away !!! some are so decayed you gotta wonder how they can still be in use !!! as always, your work motivates me to add the finer detail we see in your models, so maybe after making some of your korean wings and a few brewskis i will put pencil to graph paper and start some desk engineering in trying to attempt your weathering method !!! keep'em rollin', bill !!! denny
Thanks Denny! I really like that sun-bleached look too. The 2 salt facilities in Watkins Glen produce mainly food-grade product, not road salt. But she can earn her keep in Winter by moving snow ❄️⛄
@@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout bill... i am sure she will !!! many years ago we used crest toothpaste , diluted of course, to get that effect !!! luckily my family owned a drug store so we never ran out !!! i test ran 2 brand new british columbia rail engines today by athearn genesis and boy are they nice !!! bcrail is now owned by cn so it fits nicely into the layout. yes, i believe the retsof mine is road-grade salt... one of my future projects is to weather about 20 small 2 bay hoppers to look really deteriorated but that will be down the road a ways. my bprr's parent company, the genesee and wyoming, visits there regularly our of rochester, ny but you can see any orange and black liveries working there. as well, the ns has a big sand loading siding just south of buffalo at their bison yard which you can easily see as you pass over it on the nys thruway !!! there is almost always a string of 40-50 cars getting sand loaded, so the remaining 2 bays i have will work that job.... i am sure you know that they mix salt and sand for our winters up here, and i am quite sure some sand is used in the fracking industry as well. have a good evening !!! denny
Looks great!
Thanks Gary!
All right Bill. Looks awesome! Love the music too! ;-)
Thanks Boomer!
Enjoy the ops you do. Great (consistent I might say) immersive sounds.
Thanks Colin, I've been trying to improve my ops videos. Focusing on getting rid of the camera shake 😎
@@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout welcome
I would be neat the see some LED lights (0402s) atop the cab and you could probably 'carve' a a space below the engine for the battery. Just thinking aloud.
Oh yeah, it would be cool to add some details.
bill, i wrote about my life story per your request but i believe i screwed up sending it !!! i grew up in gowanda, ny in our family drugstore started by great granddad armes prior to 1904, then rx school but left after 4 years ( it was a 5 year program back then... now 7 in most states), worked in rx/ const-demo for several years then 32 years as a industrial engineer for the d.o.e at west valley, ny... man, what a ride it has been !!! nowadays its mostly working on the layout, walleye fishing, football ( i do not like where the nfl has aimed its advertisements or all the rules that have been added... it isn't the same game i played in... 6 years little league then high school ball), gunsmoke/hogans heroes/bonanza/rat patrol/12 o'clock high/combat/ bare knuckle fighting is about it !!! ice cold beer with good chicken wings ( remember, i live near buffalo, their home !!!) and then a real good cigar... thats about all she wrote, bill !!! denny
Cool story! Gowanda rings a bell. Never been there, but there's a kid on RUclips that used to work for the NY & Lake Erie. Go to RUclips and search "Alex Brockway ny and lake erie" and you'll see his videos. He lives in Geneva, home of the FGLK, and also models the FGLK in HO like I do. I like your taste in TV shows. Speaking of wings, cooking is my second hobby. I make some killer Korean wings. Take care - Bill.
@@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout bill... ny&le runs at the bottom of armes hill, which was where our family farm ended back in the old days !! i ran thru the woods behind our house to see the el cross erie avenue from the woods above the tracks !!! our family was not only pharmacists for 4 generations, but they were real farmers at the same time !!! quite the combo, but true !!! btw, our local pub has korean bbq wings which are ok, but i am sure your "home made bombers" are much better !!! when i make my wings i buy a big tub of lard to deep fry them in and it makes a huge difference but is kind of a pain in the ass to use.... pretty cheap at the local walmart. here's another little trick....add butter to your franks hot sauce to coat your wings and when it comes to your bleu cheese ( only use maries in the refridgerated section... absolutely the best !!!) the night before add a splash of burgundy wine, stir and let it sit overnight, then let it come to room temperature before serving. back when i was in rx school i worked 1 semester at frank and tressas' anchor bar in buffalo which, as i am sure you know, is where chicken wings were "invented" as they are today. i am not sure why lard, butter, and a splash of burgundy wine do the trick, but it really makes a big difference !! btw, what is in your korean wing sauce ??? if it ain't a secret, send it along !!! blessings to you bill !! denny
@@dennisarmes3473 Wow that's cool you worked at the Anchor Bar! I kinda lost my taste for Frank's some years ago. I really like Crystal hot sauce from Louisiana, I should try that with the butter, Maries, and wine. You're right, deep-frying is key. I deep-fried some homemade Chinese wings in my wok a while ago, they were awesome. My Korean wings are a wet wing, so they bake in the oven. When they're done, I remove the wings and add some plain cooked Ramen noodles to the sauce. Here's the recipe aaronandclaire.com/4-ways-to-enjoy-gochujang-korean-chili-paste-recipes/ It's the 2nd one "Barbecue Chicken Wings." I had to order the Korean chili paste and chili pepper flakes from Amazon. Talk to you soon - Bill.
@@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout bill... i will surely try your recipe cuz i just love korean wings with beer and running the pike !!
I saw the thumbnail and genuinely tripped cause I thought it was real
Thanks man! I was trying different settings when I was editing that photo.
Looks great! Love all the details...
Thanks Paul, I appreciate it!
What caused that derail (06:20-06:25)?
Glad you put the timestamp on it, I don't think I even saw it. Man that car kicked out of there! Juggling to much electronics? Rookie crew? How did I even keep going? 🤔 Thanks for your comment man!
Awesome 👏
Thank you sir!
sorry bill, i assumed you lived in the central ny state area !!! its in syracuse at the state fairgrounds !!! my fault !!!
Yeah I lived up there years ago, went to school in Watkins Glen. Have fun at the fair. I think you can ride Amtrak to the fair now. Stay cool!
@@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout yes, bill, you can take the amtrak from where i live which is just 35 miles south of buffalo and have done it 3-4 times. problem... taxi fares are ridiculous so unless you can get a hotel room somewhat w/in walking distance to the fairgrounds you better plan on spending some big bucks !!! we found it was just best to drive, then have easier access to other places in syracuse... dinosaur bbq/war memorial shows and the like !!! one year we took the boat and walleye fished on oneida !!! btw... why did you leave cny ??? denny
@@dennisarmes3473 Hi Denny, I left NY in 1989. Tired of the cold gray weather. Didn't see a lot of opportunities at the time. Need a change. Worked out good for me. But still miss the Finger Lakes.
@@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout nice move bill !!! what was your profession may i ask ? you are right, the finger lakes are just beautiful... we perch fish on seneca, walleye fish on oneida and otisco but not as much as we did in our younger days !!! nothin' like a fresh perch or walleye dinner and a few cold brewski's !!!
@@dennisarmes3473 I was driving a vending machine route out of Geneva at the time. Not much future in that, so I headed South. Was fortunate enough to stop over in Charlotte NC to visit a friend, ended up working where he did for ten years as a machinist. Then another career change when I was 40, went to school for computer science and worked as a computer support specialist for 20 years. Grew up on a farm on the West side of Seneca Lake, I rode my dirt bike to the lake every day in the summer. I used to do some catfishing down here but not in a while. They are good eating too. Now tell me your life story 😃
You can, but are you. 🤣🤣 be cool to see t tipped with some thing pouring out along side the tracks
I hope to. I just started on the kit this afternoon, haven't got that far yet.
Lots of good ideas and experiments there... A few tips for you, that worked well for me. When gluing down the static grass tufts, spray/soak the area you're gluing them down to with Isopropyl Alcohol. That will allow the new Matte Medium that you're using to glue the tuft down with to soak into the dry scenery and bond better. After gluing a bunch down, spray all the newly installed tufts with some IPA, this will soften the Matte Medium that the static grass tufts are stuck to and allow it to melt into the new glue and the scenery underneath it. Using the ground clip does make a difference. I've forgotten to attach the clip many times and after wondering why the fibers weren't standing up as well as I thought they should, I realized I'd forgotten to attach the grounding clip. Instead of trying to tape down your parchment paper, buy a coated steel cookie tray and use small neodymium magnets to stick the parchment down with. Works a lot better than tape. The parchment won't move and stays put. Toss that attachment that they claim will concentrate the fibers into a smaller area... It inhibits optimum static charge/application of the static grass fibers. Not using it may mean more fibers everywhere you don't want them, but that's inherent in using static grass! Spraying Tamiya on the tufts to change the color is a great Boomer technique... The paint can also be used as an adhesive to make bushes. Spray your tufts, then sprinkle on some ground foam... Sticks pretty well and a lot better than hair spray. Again... Great ideas! I'd never thought about pinching longer fibers into the glue dots prior to applying the shorter static grass.
Wow thanks man, that's the most helpful comment I've ever gotten! Going to add to my notes now. The magnet tip is huge. Gotta get some cheap cookie sheets at the dollar store. Mine are all aluminum. Taking a magnet with me lol!
@@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout No problem! Hope they work out for you should you try them. One addendum on using paint as adhesive... You have to work fast. Tamiya thinned with IPA dries FAST. When I've used the paint to hold ground foam, I spray the tuft, then sprinkle on a little foam immediately. Because of the nature of the thinned paint, only a very little foam sticks to the fibers. If you are looking for thicker buildup of foam, definitely stick with brushed on Matte Medium! I still use that too, though I thin the Matte Medium 1:1 with water. Maybe it works fine un-thinned too, never really tried it that way. Other than the magnet trick... Using IPA on the ground area before and after gluing down the tufts is probably the best tip. Works surprisingly well!
Great job! The prototype photo is a great example. Sometimes I think it is easy to take the weathering too far.
Thanks! I agree, when I first started weathering, it was all over the top. It's hard to stop when you want to keep going lol. Some of my cars may look pretty wild, but they are all weathered from prototype photos.
Fantastic job, you gave me a great idea about decal numbers, maybe I can use some old decals from my Tamiya models for my engines, cheers
Thanks! Heck yeah, I repurpose stuff all the time. Always like to use what I have, instead of buying something. Cheers!
Dang Bill you nailed it, looks great, love the fromt end loader, picked one up a few months back at a truck stop..
Thanks Pappy! I weathered the loader today. Tomorrow I'll do an airbrush fade with Tamiya white and IPA. Then the tires, and it'll be done.
bill... excellent work !!! denny rosenberg division of the bprr.
Thanks Denny, I appreciate it! I just got a Difco kit off eBay, that should be a fun build.
@@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout bill... cannot wait to see more of your work !!! isn't it funny how we change as we age !!! being retired, i am 67 now, i actually look forward to kitbashing, whereas when i was younger i was just plain afraid of it !!! and its not just the building of the kitbash, i actually enjoy sitting down with pencil/graph paper/pictures/notes taken for that specific project/ etc/etc/etc... and truly developing a good path for the project to follow, which is why i love your channel so much !!! last week i toiled over morning coffee about handrails and walking platforms and got rather "stuck" a bit, but not too bad. as it was lunchtime, i went to our local pub for a sandwich/fries and "a few".... well, after 3 cold ones, what was supposed to be a quick visit became a full plate of chicken wings and some clear thinking to solve my handrail/platform dilemma !!! maybe i should add a brewery to my layout !!! hows that hit 'ya, rail head ??? blessings to you, bill !!! denny
@@dennisarmes3473 Man thanks for this comment, it really made my day! I just turned 68 in July. I am a big believer in waiting for things to come to you. Could be in a pub, could be lying in bed in the middle of the night. If you try too hard and push on without it, the outcome won't be as good. Isn't retirement great!? Take care - Bill.
@@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout yes, it is great almost to the point of feeling guilty about it !!! i await you next video, bill !!!
bill... btw, are you planning on going to the fairground show this year ? i am, so i could buy you a beer when i get there !!! i missed the last 2 shows, but i DO remember there was a small food/drink service at one end of the show and it was a nice break from a full days walk !!! they had snacks/dogs/burgers and the like but also had beer !!! no more soda for me.... also, i remember the guy behind the counter was a model rr'er like us and he was rather pissed he had to work and not get on the floor !!! hope its a good show !!! denny
Really nice weathering job Bill…you mimicked the pic pretty spot on…
