Thanks Vinny, I've been working on the build that you and I discussed a bit ago, its coming together nicely but boy does this have some feats to overcome. Steve
Thanks David, I really enjoy sharing with the RUclips community because I've already learned so much from others and hope that some of the things I do can be helpful to others a well. Steve
I'm not in Kansas City near as much as I would like to be sometimes, but next time I'm there if you are interested we could probably get you to come down and see the layout, and run some trains on the Sedalia Sub. Steve
Thanks Mike. I have to admit that every time I'm working on a model, at some point a thought goes through my mind... if only this could look as good as that mine building Mike did" Your paint work and weathering is fantastic. Steve
MidwestModelRR Steve, that is a compliment, I do appreciate it. I had a lot of fun on that New River Mine build and took my time on it to. I have to admit, its probably one of the most detailed models I have. I even look at it sometimes and say "wow" that looks good. But, I think this to, that its all about time! I always seem to want to rush through the builds, racing for the end and find myself skipping steps! lol! so, many of my models just aren't that detailed. Just so you know, your models are fantastic, you have some great modeling skills and I really enjoy watching your video's. I find that much of what you do, I do to! :) I watch so ever closely so I can try and pick up something new that I can use on my models.
Steve just great like from start to finish one question you say you don't like spray paints how did you paint all the pieces in the trays cheers Robert
I used spray paint for this one, I just find that spray paint has a larger particle size than I like, making the paint appear thick on the model. On some models it doesn't make a difference, but I did notice on this one, some of the line detail was lost on one side of one shed.
Brian, I do seal the weathering powders. I used to use Testors dulcote but that can get quite expensive. What I have started using instead is just a matte spray from home depot. It come in a standard size spray can and cost less than the small can or dulcote. The particles of the matte spray are going to be larger than those of the dullcote, but i just make sure to keep plenty of distance between the nozzle and the model and put it on in light coats. Steve
Excellent work on the lumber buildings. Could you build me a Trim tower like the one at the Bailey yard North Platte, Neb. It's the L shaped building straight north of the spike tower.
Quality work as always! Love your videos!
Thanks for watching, I try to keep up with your video postings.
Steve

Nice weathering. It looks almost real.
I'm not in Kansas City near as much as I would like to be sometimes, but next time I'm there if you are interested we could probably get you to come down and see the layout, and run some trains on the Sedalia Sub.
Steve
That would be awesome.
Excellent, thanks so much for sharing! Tweeted, Facebook'd, added to my build playlist! :)

Nice one! Keep the vids coming!
Thanks John, I have heard Vinny mention you have made him some decals, I may need to pick your brain about that in the near future.
Steve
Sure thing, ask away!
Glad to see this one. I have one in the box that Im getting ready to start on....
It was a fun build, but some of those small parts in N Scale are a bit of a pain.
Steve
Didn't realize it was N scale. Mine is HO which should be a little easier to handle. Anxious to see the build your planning. Great work as always.
thanks for the very quick reply.
ModelerManMike recommended you in one of his posts.Interesting video. I like seeing the different techniques.. Nice work!
Great video, Thanks Steve. I think everyone should hit that like button!
Loks Great

very nicely done. Do you seal in the weathering powders on your buildings ? If yes what would you recommend using

Can that Be Done in Wood?
Excellent work on the lumber buildings. Could you build me a Trim tower like the one at the Bailey yard North Platte, Neb. It's the L shaped building straight north of the spike tower.
Larry Yonning do you have pictures of the building?
Yes I do have pictures. Want me to send them to you?
I will need pictures is it is something you are interested in me building.
Where do I send the pictures? I cant find an email address.
send them to info@midwestmodelrr.com
I think you did a really good job,but you did not age or weather the signs
