Interior Details for DPM Townhouses
After working on them intermittently over four years, I finally finished Buildings 3, 4 and 8, AKA Townhouse 1, 2 and 3 by Design Preservation Models, with my own interior details and lighting. For this video, I thought I'd take a break from the long-winded narration about the process and inspiration. For that, check out these three blog posts:

Interior Details for 1940s Fruit Market, Pharmacy, Salon & Detective Agency in HO Scale
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.Год назад
This is the HO scale "Front Street Building" by Design Preservation Models, to which I added custom interiors and lighting to create a detective agency, beauty salon, fruit market and pharmacy, set in 1949. For more details on the process of making it, check out this blog post: thesmokycity.com/building-7/
Arduino Light Animation: 24hr cycle in 2 minutes

I created a program to automate the changing of lights inside this building over the course of a 24-hour period. In this demo, the sequence is sped up from 24 hours to about 2 minutes.
HO Scale Derelict Storefront
Просмотров 2953 года назад
This HO scale model was built from the DPM kit "Kelly's Bar" and detailed to look like a derelict storefront, similar to one seen in a photo from Pittsburgh in the 1940s. For more information about how it was made, check out this blog post: thesmokycity.com/building-2-derelict-storefront/
TV flicker simulation with Arduino

A cool white LED concealed in one room flickers to simulate the light cast in a dark room by a black and white TV. Background sound was playing on a laptop for fun. For more information, including the Arduino code I wrote for this, check out this blog post: thesmokycity.com/tv-light-effect/
Interior Details for 1940s Radio Shop in HO Scale

This is the DPM kit "Pam's Pet Shop", with details added to make it a radio shop set in 1949, with animated lighting effects controlled by an Arduino Uno microcontroller.

For a class on video compression and streaming, I had to put together a 30-second video that I'll use in various assignments later. The first half (30 sec.) is what I did for class. The second half I added on for fun.

How does this not have more comments and likes ? Great attention to detail beautifully executed. Far too few take the time to detail building interiors let alone do so in such a clever way 11 out of 10 for effort
Thank you! For me, interior details like this are half the fun of model railroading.
@@TheSmokyCity Agree completely without interiors it's just an empty shell a ghost town
Great research and execution.
Fantastic work! You have a great eye for detail.
New sub here. You do incredible work. I see it's been awhile since your last video. I hope you haven't quit. Cheers from the mitten
Thanks! Absolutely not quitting. The next video comes after I finish the next project. I'm currently working on another DPM building with a book store and offices, and a scratch-built Atlantic service station.
I certainly want to compliment you on your excellent modeling work. I'm also curious why and how you selected Pittsburgh of that era. Your research of that era is also excellent as well. Do you live near Pittsburgh?
Thank you! I live in Seattle, but spent my first 27 years in Pittsburgh, which influenced my location selection. I've always really liked the look of transition era layouts, so that was a given. My top picks for railroads were what I was accustomed to seeing in model form growing up in the northeast, which was a lot of NYC, PRR & B&O. I really like the look of the B&O heavyweight passenger trains in the blue and gray scheme, and once I decided I wanted to model B&O passenger trains through Pittsburgh in the transition era, I learned that they traveled over the P&LE via trackage rights. That meant I had to model the P&LE, which used equipment lettered for NYC. The PRR also ran parallel to P&LE in sections, so this felt like an opportunity to include all three of my favorite roads in one layout. When I was in college, I worked at a toy store in Station Square, the former P&LE freight house. So, that was an additional personal connection to the place. The time period had to be at least 1948, because that's when Pittsburgh got its first PCC streetcars, and, to me, you can't accurately depict late 40s Pittsburgh scenes without streetcars. When Rapido Trains announced in 2020 that they were making Alco PA-1s decorated for NYC/P&LE, that nailed down the year, since those rolled off the assembly line in April 1949, and I needed them to model the interesting joint service of the B&O's Washingtonian and the P&LE's Steel King. An added bonus of choosing 1949 is that I wouldn't have to model (part of) the Wabash Bridge, which had crossed above the P&LE near the terminal until the fall of 1948. Other factors that influenced my selection of Pittsburgh in the 1940s include my love for jazz, swing and big band music of the 1940s, the fact that my dad, uncles and grandfather worked in steel mills on the P&LE, and the fact that my grandparents married and started their families in Pittsburgh in the 40s.
Wow also you really know what you're doing, great job😊
Outstanding attention to detail! I am just getting started on a book store interior in N scale so I have a LOT to learn. One thing I noticed is that the models are glossy. Is it possible to dull the sheen with a clear matte to make them look more realistic?
I'm not sure where you're seeing glossiness. It's all painted with flat acrylic paint, and the exterior is weathered with a flat coat, India ink and alcohol wash, and Pan Pastels. I guess one downside of using graphics printed on a laser printer for the floors and walls is that at certain angles, you can sometimes see a glare from the interior lights. Maybe an inkjet printer wouldn't have that issue since the ink soaks into the paper, whereas toner sits on top of the paper.
Do you happen to remember where you got the tobacco shop interior kit?

@@TheSmokyCity thank you sir
Edward Hopper would be proud
Nice! great detail and inspiring.
miniature get all the action.
wow, what an amazing model set. even a model railroad and afternoon delight. Cheers Rob
Your work is Awesome! I am VERY impressed. and inspired. I am currently rebuilding an old station model that use to be on my late fathers train layout he had built with me when I was a kid. That layout also is gone. and after going through boxes in the basement I found some things from it I had thought I would never see again and did not know my father had packed away. So am hoping to build a new layout also in the 1940's. and decided to start by rebuilding and detailing the interior of the station. and this just inspired me more.
Wow. That is amazing work. Thanks for including miniprints in your build!
Thank you!
NICELY done sir! I am working on interiors for my buildings on my layouts. You went much more detailed than I did.
Excellent. Looking forward to more videos.
Nice little project. I am putting together buildings and trains for a future train setup. My granddaughter took over the room I had planned, hopefully she outgrows it?
Great inspiration, thanks !
what kind of sorcery is this??? you new everything that was going to happen, before it did, lol. such a neat project. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Rob
I had my crystal ball off-screen. ;-)
such a fantastic model, very well done. Thanks for sharing, Cheers Rob
Wow, just wow...
Excellent work!
Thank you!
What a fantastic interior. A lot of attention to the smallest details
Thanks! For me, identifying small details that I can model (within reason), is half the fun.
Superbly done. Beautiful
Thank you! I think it's my favorite one so far.
