Recycling Scrap Models With Rocket Railways
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- Jason at Rocket Railways sent me a box of random old and broken bits and pieces of model railway stock with the challenge for me to up cycle them for use on the railway. In this video I tackle a couple of those items in the hope to make them usable again.

Scrap!. Something about that word that draws me in.. 😆
I thought of you when this project began, it’s right up your alley. Paul
Of course Tim I wouldn’t expect anything else from the master
Hi Paul - What a brilliant concept. No losers in this one and they get free advertising, fantastic.
Regards Chris
Thanks Chris. Paul
Awesome Vid, I’ve had a couple of selection Boxes from RR which have been very useful and enjoyable to work with. Definitely my Cuppa Tea this. 🫖 ☕️ 🚂👍🏻
Thanks so much Donni. Paul
Bought a box after watching this excellent video. My box was utter rubbish. Your box 'seems' to be very different to what a punter gets. Happy to list contents! One super quick window pain for example.
Hi JD, I suggest you contact Jason directly to discuss it with him. Unfortunately I don’t have any control over box contents and can only go on what I received in my pack. Paul
@@GalgormHall yes I know that. Is a brilliant idea and excellent vid. Was just saying that what I'd received didn't compare at all.
@@Jamie096 completely understand. Hopefully you can get some resolution to it. Paul
Brilliant Paul….regards from Maryville Junction
Thanks Geoff. Paul
Interesting Paul. Not only a great way to lighten the burden on our dumps, but also end up with some very unique items for the layout - and pretty inexpensive to boot!
Thanks John, we all have plenty of odds and ends that can be turned to something useful on the layout. Paul
The American van is an older model refrigerator car ("reefer") once used to transport produce or meat. There were many thousands of these prior to the advent of mechanical reefers (and refrigerated long-haul trucks). Periodically during their journeys ice blocks were added through the roof hatches near the ends of the car to maintain the low temperature inside. There was a whole infrastructure for this with ice houses and raised platforms during the steam and early diesel eras. Cheers from Wisconsin!
Fantastic knowledge there Andrew and all very interesting, thanks for that. Paul
Very interesting 👍🏼thanks
that's a really good idea, less plastic in landfill and useful additions to the layout
Thanks Paul, hopefully it inspires others to do similar. Paul
A nice little earner for Rocket Railway. £9 plus perhaps a mark up on the postage for items that they would have binned.
According to Jason there is no profit in this and postage is included in the current £8 cost. Bottom line it’s an individual choice on anything bought in this hobby and price is immaterial, it’s what you believe the value of the product is that will determine a sale or no sale. Paul
Hiya Paul, that is a very interesting idea and something I have never thought about. We are usually always looking at household items and thinking of a use. Not really thought of old stock though..thanks for sharing and again, another interesting episode.. Cheers for now, Chris
Hi Chris, I’ve always held on to odds and ends but this is a first talk full on wagons, etc to make conversions to them. An interesting challenge. Paul
Great ideas, got some stuff already , track wagon bodies
Get cracking then Nigel. 😆 Paul
Very nice update Paul!!! Thanks for sharing mate!
Cheers Onno. Paul
Brilliant idea Paul. So brilliant they have sold out of boxes!
Hope you got sorted Tony. Paul
Well done Paul. Great hints and tips.
Thank you. Paul
Great video Paul keep it up
Thanks John. Paul
Wow Paul you maybe inspired me to dive into my box of old railway junk . Regards fred ps used help the guy who put the canvas over the roof boards on those vans in eastleigh wagon shop
Fred, this sort of thing is right up your street. I immediately thought of you when RR asked me to do this project, no doubt you’d have created something magnificent using all those bits. Paul
Nice video Paul. What Rocket Railways is doing is a great idea it is certainly kinder to the enviroment that's for sure. That grounded wagon is very inspiring same with the little bridge. - Nicholas.
Thanks Nicholas, glad you enjoyed it. Paul
That is a great idea Paul and with a little imagination you can certainly get more life of of things that would normally be thrown away.
Cheers Kev
Hey Kev, thank you, hopefully it inspires someone to consider another home for those little bits of plastic other than landfill. 😆 Paul
Great bit of repurposing there Paul, that grounded van looks excellent and I can see the camping coach becoming something good too.
Alex
Thanks very much Alex, really pleased with how the grounded van turned out. Paul
Interesting what you can do with scrap items. Well done.
Thanks Tom. Paul
What a great idea Paul. I'm quite sure a lot of useful stuff ends up in the landfill and this will at least delay that. I love what you did with the veneer and I think you will agree that it looks much better than the over scale coffee stir sticks. David.
Thanks again David for the veneer, lovely to work with and as you say is much better looking than the coffee stirrers. Paul
great Idea
Thanks John. Paul
Interesting idea and I assume it will generate some interest and provide multiple projects for the enthusiast
Thanks Charlie. Paul
Well done again Paul I think you will find the wagon with the side railings on is an old Triang wheel wagon, good idea with the camping coach Thanks again Alan
Ahh, thanks for that Alan, it does still leave me wondering what it was ever meant to represent as a real world wagon. Paul
Great video - I need to raid my scrap box now and see what I can do.
Thanks Graham. Paul
Great idea from Rocket and some good ideas from you Paul. Not that I'm short of junk bits of model railway, but out of intrigue I've just ordered a box!
Thanks David, I’m sure you’ll find some use for the box of goodies you get. Paul
@@GalgormHall Box arrived today. Perhaps not as full of goodies as yours but nevertheless for £8 including p and p still excellent value. Got a bridge deck which I had made a card mock up for last week so that will definitely be used, a Triang Mk1 Buffet coach thats intact and in need of some tlc, an LNER A3 tender body, lineside hut and some telegraph poles along with a load of other stuff which may or may not be used. So all in all very pleased.
Excellent stuff David, happy modelling with all that. Paul
good vid paul keep up the good vid on your channel thanks lee
Thanks Lee. Paul
This may rank up there, in many ways, as one of your most brilliant videos. Not for the work you've done, which was brilliant as always; but for why you did it and the message with it. Why fill the bins and dumps with plastic and such when it can be recycled and reused. Excellent job to you and your shop!
I couldn’t agree more Anthony, we all have our part to play to save the planet and if this small aspect can go towards that then it’s a win win. Paul
Great idea. Inadvertantly I already do this being somewhat of a hoarder! ;-)
I imagine many of us do to a greater or lesser extent Davie. Thanks as always. Paul
Sounds like Guinea pig time ... I would of used the balsawood look to look like concrete..... Also some of us go to a lot of trouble to preserve our old relics. Never be ashamed of using original paint scheme and leaving the whole unit looking brand new. Nice farm bridge. Brilliant idea with the carriages I have seen both on rail and pad little villages around. A preservation line would have a number of these in perfect condition for storage or to show fine details not normally seen inside van or carriage.
The balsa wood is a good shout, hadn’t even considered that. You’re right too, preservation in pristine isn’t a bad thing either. Thanks for watching and commenting. Paul
Amazing what you can do with a bit of talent, do you think they sell that in a box too? 😄
If it’s not sellable you’ll find a way of borrowing it I’m sure. 😛 Paul
@@GalgormHall 😘😘😘
Build a mrr graveyard?
It’s another good option Rob. Paul
