- Опубликовано: 4 май 2023
- 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.c...
Great research and execution.
Fantastic work! You have a great eye for detail.
Nice! great detail and inspiring.
Excellent. Looking forward to more videos.
Great inspiration, thanks !
Wow also you really know what you're doing, great job😊
NICELY done sir! I am working on interiors for my buildings on my layouts. You went much more detailed than I did.
Excellent work!
Thank you!
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.
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.
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
Wow, just wow...
such a fantastic model, very well done. Thanks for sharing, Cheers Rob
Superbly done. Beautiful
Thank you! I think it's my favorite one so far.
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.
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.
Do you happen to remember where you got the tobacco shop interior kit?
