- Hey everyone! be sure to subscribe! Today I am showing you guys how I build an N Scale Design Preservation Models kit. I personally love these kits. They are economical and look great with the right detailing.

I like the amount of instruction that you provided on the building of this kit. Great job!
Thanks for the tips. I have a lot of kits to build for the small layout that I'm "building". I agree that the flat brush works very well on painting these small buildings. I was glad to see that you used regular modeling glue. It seemed to work well.
Lots of great tips
Blue painters tape on the sides, will help with avoiding paint where the glue goes. You definitely have skills.
my kit for scenic ridge dpm comes tomorrow so hyped
Nice video, some additional suggestions:
The wall casting have a release angle that doesn't let the walls make good gluing contact, and, if not addressed, leaves a void in the side. You addressed this by adding putty to fill and smooth that surface. I have found that I prefer to sand that release angle so the side walls have a flat edge. As you say, the plastic sands easily, so this doesn't take long. Just be sure to keep everything square.
When weathering, try to make all your weathering strokes vertical to the walls, not across. It is a small thing, but yields big results.
I never paint a building wall with only one color. Instead, I use two or three varied colors and do multiple coats while everything is still wet. The larger the building, the more this adds to the affect. The idea is to blend the colors in a way that the overall building color is faded and not uniform.
The same affect really stands out on the roof. Blend some colors, flat black followed by a dark gray mist works well for me. Be sure to do the over spray immediately after spraying the black so they blend together.
These are great buildings and really lend themselves to kitbashing, or using multiple kits to build larger factories.
I picked up one of these on ebay for about $2. It was missing the part where you mount the door and it also came with one other structure that may have been missing something too, but for the pieces of scrap at least, it was a great value. Some of these can be really inexpensive on ebay.
DPM is a staple in the model railroading community. They’re everywhere
Great idea with the flat brush, thanks
Another option over cheap kits new is look online for unboxed second hand kits. I bought two for $5 and $15 Canadian and buying more off the same guy soon. Cheap and not a biggie to use to learn to paint or paint better
Thanks, Jimmy. As noted by another, along with the angles edges of the walls, there is brick detail on the sides of the walls. It will indicate which walls go inside the other walls: e.g., I notice that you put the side walls behind the front wall and the back wall inside the side walls. If you look closely, you will see that the building is not exactly square. However, in N scale, that may not be as noticeable as in HO scale on O scale.
Try washing parts first to remove release agent
Hi Jimmy, I love these DPM kits. I have built them and they are reasonably easy to get a great result. Like anything else, just take your time. In the end it’s the additional details you add that give them life. Thanks for a easy, breezy tutorial. See ya next time.
Additional hints: Wash the plastic parts in mild soap and allow them to dry fully before preceding. Often on these buildings the front would be painted while the other 3 sides would be a natural brick color. Giving the models the lightest dusting of flat black spray paint is a cheap and easy way of adding additional weathering. Cheap ribbon found at the craft store makes for great window shades. I also use Testor's canopy glue to attach window glazing. Thanks for shooting and sharing.
Video is JIT. I’ve got some DPM kits I’ve yet to build. This video helps a lot. Thanks. Anthony
Jimmy,enjoy these content,i like the help full tips.I myself am working on my n scale model power kits.I am not as good as you.But enjoy building them.On keeping the walls together while they dry,i use rubber bands and let it dry overnight.Please keep these type of content on how to building kits.Now i want to see how you apply your decals.Also is there anyone else showing how to build kits? Great Video,and Happy Railroading.🌏✌
Thanks with regard to giving these very good subject material.
Great video on painting and assembly. Some great techniques that I will definitely try. Thanks for sharing.
hi Jimmy.. nice build...looks very nice.. thx for sharing... vinny
Ok I’m a newbie, planning a 1910-1930 mining lay out T&T/ Bullfrog RR in western Nevada, eastern California
Looking for buildings associated with industries and towns from this era
Hi Jimmy, heck when I was 12 I used to produce models a heck of a lot better than I do now at 57. I was really into micro detail. If it was a car I even painted the speedometer with the numbers readable. Wish I had that still. O well life
AND they're half the price of other kits ! This one was about $15.99 locally.
Nice video of the dpm kits Jimmy I like how u painted that building it looks good sir tc Happy Railroading
It would be great if they also sell the white casting detail items like they include in the Night Life (DPM Gold series kits) kit.
As a left hander, You gotta move your camera so it shoots from over your right shoulder.
We are looking at the back of your hand for about 40% of this video.
Great channel love the models, but a rip off in UK for same or similar models...
Yes in Europa they are very expensive but i love the whole town. Bought the big box for 220 canadian dollars and took it back home to Amsterdam. Love it
You can also put a arduino nano inside with some leds. So you can see someone going to the toilet after hanging at the bar down there. ;)
Jimmy now that i have a 3d printer i can print buildings if your interested let me know
I have one too! I'm thinking of doing a series on how to design and print from scratch.
@@DIYDigitalRailroad please do theres alot that can be found on thingaverse.com but there is not much for 1960s or earlier
