Awesome modelling Norm !!! I know Jim Thorpe & Race St. You nailed it !!! You will see these Insul-Bick covered structures sprinkled thru the Anthracite Coal Region towns of Northeastern Pa both with and without turrets. Some turrets were steepled and some were left flat. I'm an N-Scaler but enjoy your modelling immensely.......
Awesome work 👍 . Would love a walk around your layout and maybe point out some of the builds you are thinking of doing full interiors on soon. Love these videos
Holly cow! I remember that building since I was on the area of Hazleton to do a TV interview for Fox Sports Latin America with Joe Maddon when he just won the World Series with the Cubs, and we made a quick visit to Jim Thorpe (Gorgeous area, worthy to go on vacation and with plenty of time to visit a ton of wonderful places). You are an artist, not just a simple modeler and you layout and trains atest that. Best regards from Mexico.
Hey Norm, long time no see. That is a killer looking building. I can see why you wanted to model it. Im not a big fan of 3-D printed models personally, I like building the structures myself. That’s part of the fun of the hobby for me, to each his own though. I love your interior work though, with all the printed details on that model it looks spectacular. I’ll have to try my hand at some insulbrick structure building, they do look cool! Thanks for sharing a great idea and build, nice work man!
Norm, I have several questions for you. Please drop an answer or two when you can. Do you ever install broken windows (glass is cracked or missing or doesn't close fully or the window doesn't sit correctly in the frame anymore)? Do you ever install broken doors (where the door is ajar or crooked or is no longer hanging properly in its frame)? How about a dutch door on any of your homes? Any outdoor Christmas lights strung or a decorated tree in a parlor? And, just for laughs, how about a major award leg lamp in the front window of the Parker's home? When I have time, I will go back thru some of your videos to see if I can answer some of these questions on my own. Thanks.
I rode behind 2102 too!!!! Only it was in 1971 on the C&O Greenbrier branch!!! These tracks were removed except from Cass to Durbin....and are back in service. The building is GREAT. Wish I had half the talent. You have made me try 3D drawing again....we'll see. Thanks
Yeah I hear ya. I actually don’t mind those type of channels but it’s not really my thing. Plus, most of the new stuff is kinda lame these days with the dated controls and wacko fantasy paint jobs.
@@normstrainsI am inspired every time I see the printer come out. 3D printing has made such a difference in the hobby. Love the building! I’d love to see more videos like this later on
@@SouthernTennessean Agreed, 3D printing is absolutely amazing for this hobby. It makes scratchbuilding far more accessible, and makes a lot of projects possible that simply wouldn't be otherwise. This one is a perfect example.
You out did yourself Norm! I especially like the open mailbox with letters poking out! The phone line and gas meters take it to another level. Really enjoyed this video! Outstanding work!!
A couple of those shots I thought were real buildings. Shows the level of your skill. Great job. I think the building looks right at home in the layout!
Wow, that’s an amazing 3D printed house and interior. I absolutely love all the details you put in it. My first time watching your RUclips page. I subscribed and hit the bell so I can watch all of your videos. You’re a true artist and craftsman. Look forward to watching your videos and looking forward to your updates. I hope to be able to make some of my buildings look like yours someday. Right now I like to take Ho scale vehicles Diecast in metal so I can take them apart and strip & repaint them and paint & detail the interiors and change the rims and tires and put people in them. Thanks for making your videos and inspiring others with them and keep up the museum quality buildings and your layout.
Well done. I really like your work. I don't know how the people in your model neighborhood are going to react to the lose of their liquor store and tattoo parlor! Seriously, I wish you could do some instructional videos or DVD's on using Tinkercad and how create trash cans, furniture, doors or even buildings. I have a 3D like your Ender. The main difference is that mine is covered in dust from lack of use. Thanks for showing us your project. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Very nice Norm. It does add a certain northeast styling to the block and the new Creality was awesome. Thanks for taking us through the process, I feel like the length and detail was about right. Happy holidays to you and the family. I want to see a vid on those new Baldwin cabs you slipped in there, I think with the Tuscan they are BP-20 units, noice! 😎
Terrific project - interesting architecture well detailed and painted. Like the weathering too. More interesting in that spot than the building you replaced (though that looked cool too). Perfect placement of the utilities and utility pole. You've got a great eye. Thank for sharing this build. Really enjoyed the narrative.
Norm: I thought you’d been kidnapped! I was ready to pay the ransom, I’m glad to see a new video from you. As usual your work is phenomenal. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Really cool project! The interior looks incredibly real. I've been considering attempting an entirely 3D printed building, but I really don't have any idea what I'm doing with structure modeling.
I can't wait to watch your modeling buildings!! Absolutely amazing! I could watch these for hours! I noticed you mentioned Michigan. Are you a Michigander?
@@Jim-b6n it could be! I had a blown out Gulf Blue ‘63 as my first car. Later in life a had a mostly original Bahama Blue ‘64. Wish I had the time and space for another old Beetle.
Norm... wow! As usual, your creativity and craftsmanship are amazing. My favorite comment was "not very fancy". I'm going back to work on my balsa and coffee stir stick builds and in 9999 more hours of practice, maybe I could build something like your great builds. Thank you for sharing.
Great build Norm!! Some pigeons and an old alley cat would look cool around the building!! Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and yours Norm!!!!
If you put the right angle on the corners it will make the brick stand out very nicely, and break up the coloration of the bricks, or paint the angle black color or a medium green color.
Is Stobes Railroad Salvage a tribute to HoboStobe? If so a very fitting one. Love that man may he forever ride the rails. As a n scaler your videos keep inspiring and thank you for posting.
@@officialpennsyjoea pal of mine spotted them for sale for a very good price. Not sure when I’ll get to them. They ‘kinda’ run but are in great condition otherwise. It would be a pretty big project I think.💭
Hey man, love your work. Question for ya, this train season aka winter, I have decided to get into the transition era again after about a decade of modeling modern trains. I really like PRR fast mail trains but I can't really find any good solid information on them. I can only find pictures, really. Do you recommend any books or websites to find info (specific consists, power etc etc) on them? Thanks in advance. Keep up the great work. P.S. I'm sure no one would mind a couple CMSTP&P run throughs on that PRR layout of yours, not sayin, just sayin. lol

Hey Norm, long time watcher here! Your modeling is awe inspiring. I was wondering which filament you use for your 3D prints. Do you use PLA, PETG, or something? I have an Ever 3 V3 SE. I am looking at the K1C like you just bought. I bought mine to start modeling my pieces and saving money as well. Thanks for you videos and dedication to create content!
Cleaner wiring? Two words: bus bars. Two bare rods running up opposite side of the structure and send all light wires per floor over to them, can solder or even just use brass wipers to contact them as you plug in each floor.

Great detail and workmanship. This is one of the best train layouts I ever ever seen. Great job.

Those utility details made an incredible change in the appearance of the building! Your modeling really inspires me.
You have done a great job with this building, when I do buildings I get creative sometimes making bricks out of the building material
Great job Norm! Truly a master model.
Norm all I can say is wow! Fantastic as always buddy!
Another enjoyable build Norm I remember you talking about this future build when I met you at York this year outstanding job 👍
Well done Norm. Really enjoy your videos. Merry Christmas.
Norm, you're an amazing model building builder. Those rugs are an area rug or a throw rug. 3D printing looks great 👍. You do have an awesome layout.
Absolutely amazing!
COOL!!! I really enjoy Norm's videos. His skills, imagination, enthusiasm and enjoyment of model railroading are fun to watch.
Absolutely amazing Norm
