Hi David, a lot of work going on again, extra lighting is always a good thing, the single coat of paint on the mill walls looks like a nice effect to me. All the best . Oscar
Hello Oscar, yes, I am keeping the momentum going while I have the time and interest but my garden is beginning to call to me. I think I shall probably get a lighting professional in to look at the main layout room. It is only a 7' ceiling and the lighting I have now is very uneven. There has been overwhelming support for the single coat of paint so I have moved ahead with that already. Regards, David.
Hi David , nice to see the Bolton Abbey mug in use once again . Great update and looking forward to seeing where the paper mill ends up . Take care ........Peter
Hello Peter. I am not rotating the mugs quite as much as I used to but the Boulton Abby one has seen quite a bit of service just recently. The mill project is nearing the end, if anything is ever actually finished. It's getting close now. Cheers, David.
Ciao dear David i missed the video as i am planning my new French layout.This morning i saw this beautiful running session filmed by two friends of yours.Great the new addition under construction.Big like,have a great day alberto 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
Hi Alberto, I am so glad we are catching up with each other again.. I am happy you like the running session and my mill project. Enjoy your planning and building of your new French layout. Regards, David.
Hi Phil, thank you once more. I'm so glad you like the North American style of railway modelling. The paper mill has moved ahead since I recorded this video, I think you'll like what you see of it next time. Cheers, David.
Thank you James. The layout was not planned, it has just evolved to fit the available space. I'm having a lot of fun wit it. Getting that paint for the coils was a happy accident. David.
I kinda like the weathered look myself. The steel coils look very realistic, great job on those. Always enjoy watching trains run on your layout! Thanks for sharing. Dave
Thank you Dave, everyone seems to like the weathered look so, that is what it will be. The steel coils have waited many years for me to find the right paint, I agree, they do look good. It is a great compliment to hear you say that you like seeing the running on my layout, thank you for that. Cheers, David.
Hi Ray, the coils do look good I think, I can't wait to build the facility that will use them. I'll have even more operating to do then. Cheers, David.
Thank you Michael. The weathered look it is. I like the steel coils and they will feature in a future development of the railway but I have a lot of work yet to do on the pulp mill. Regards, David.
Great Layout, Love it!! The weathered look is real. Maybe some light back ink, some small drop of rust here and there and you're on your way. weathering happens . over a period of time, so take your time . Enjoy
Hi Calvin. yes, I did intend adding some streaking although I seem to have achieved that already. Our local mill is about 60 years old and it still retains a clean look on buildings of this type. I am 6 weeks into this build and enjoying it very much. Cheers, David.
Nothing like a train running session!! I love seeing the trains run the layout love the layout!! I really love the passenger train too!! very enjoyable video!!! 💞💞🚂🚂
Hi David, I've never known any building to look unweathered, so I would imagine a brand new pulp mill would look out of place. If that was corrugated iron I'd be putting rust stains down the walls and detailing the nails. But that building looks very large, it would take a while. The lighting makes it much better, lifts the scene right up. Its coming alone nicely mate. Steven.
Hi Steven, our local mill is around 60 years old but the buildings look pretty clean, so I wasn't sure. The kit walls are corrugated but there are no panel lines or nail details. It is a big building, bigger than my lunch box from my working days! I agree on the lighting, it has made it much better for both working and videoing in there. When I started the project I said it would take a while. I'm not feeling any pressure to get it finished. It's just slow steady work, I'm enjoying it. Cheers, David.
The Pulp Mill is looking great so far, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. Nice to see the 8102 at work again, it sure looked great paired up with my ES44AC. I've been lazy with my video editing, but my video should be out this afternoon.
Thanks Lucas. Yes, the SD70Ace did look great with your ES44AC, so much so that I will get an ES44AC if I can find one. No worries on your posting, I can reference it another time. Cheers, David.
i think you should keep the "weathered" look but weather it a slight bit further, in a less uniform manner., to break the uniformity of the pattern, just a little! it looks like a great build! The steel coils look pro David :) ps- and nice running!
Hi John, yes, I intend to add to the weathering, I just didn't know if I should start with a clean looking building but everyone seems to like the point I'm at now. It is a great build, so glad I have it. I watched a video about a steel coil handling plant. That gave me some ideas for the use of the coils, stay tuned for that. (probably not this year though.) The running session went great, Lucas ran his train over the entire layout without one derailment in over 2-1/2 hours!
Hi David, I think the walls as you've painted them now look OK for a weathered finish. Did you paint them by brush rather than spraying? If so you seem to have got all the brush streaks running in a vertical direction, which is good for a weathered finish on a building. As Steven has said, you could weather it further, maybe when the building is finished? You went to a lot of trouble to paint those steel cols and now they'll never be seen under the car lids! 😉 All the best, Steve
Hello Stephen. Thank you. The undercoat of dark gray was sprayed on and the lighter gray was brushed following the lines of corrugation. I neglected to say in the video that I do intend to add to the weathering. The steel coils needed to be hidden pre painting but now I can think of ways to use them, they will be seen. Cheers, David.
Hello Mon, are you cooking in the heat or flooded out? It seems to be all the news coming from Aus. these days. I guess I didn't phrase my question right. It had always been the intention to have it weathered but I didn't know whether I should start from a clean look or from that non uniform look. The decision is made and work is proceeding, and yes, happily. Cheers, David.
Ha! That goes without saying from you. If you were in a blacked out coal cellar at midnight on a moonless night you would still be splashing matt black paint about. lol.
Nice video! What is the grade in this video? By eye it looks like it might 5%! I've been planning an N scale layout with grades up to 4%. That came to a sudden stop when I saw some videos testing grades with limited success over 2%. What can you tell me, David, that might encourage, help, or discourage me. Tom PS. One coat id say, or two with some additional weathering art.
Thank you for watching and commenting Tom. Great question. My grades may look a little confusing because I have a grade on the mainline climbing from left to right and beside it a grade on the branch line climbing right to left. It makes them look steeper than they are. I ease into and out of the grades but in all instances the grade is about 2%. Thank you for weighing in on the pulp mill question, that's much appreciated. My advice to you would be to avoid grades if possible unless you have a lot of room. My mainline grades in both direction are about 13 feet long. Other advice I would impart is to get building and learn as you go, be prepared to change it if it isn't working for you and use flex track for more realistic curves. Hope that helps and all the best. David.

Hello David, I was in doubt what to do, but now I think the weathered version is the better one. Cheers Andy 🤠
Hello Andy, Thank you for helping me to decide. I think the results will be quit pleasing. Cheers, David.
Hi David I think the walls of your paper mill look great with the weather look, another great video to thank you. All the best Phil.

Very nice to watch David. I like the weathered look. Take care, all the best to you
Thank you Jonathan, work is progressing on the building. Regards, David.
David your layout looks great, I like the weathered look, those steel coils are excellent

Hello David thanks for the video those coils look rael great job,thanks for the operating video as well,have a great day.
Hi Ray, the coils do look good I think, I can't wait to build the facility that will use them. I'll have even more operating to do then. Cheers, David.
Without a doubt - the weathered version for the walls. Looks good to me and sodothe rolls of steel. Cheers Michael
Thank you Michael. The weathered look it is. I like the steel coils and they will feature in a future development of the railway but I have a lot of work yet to do on the pulp mill.

Nice session, And I`s go with a weathered look to give it some age,
Hi Clive, glad you enjoyed it. Weathered seems to be the consensus.
Nothing like a train running session!! I love seeing the trains run the layout love the layout!! I really love the passenger train too!! very enjoyable video!!! 💞💞🚂🚂
Thank you Nancy, It would be a pleasure to have you visit but I know you can't.

Weathered look for me.
Thank you Martin, we are at 100% for weathered. Progress should pick up speed now. Cheers, David.
weathered look for sure. pulp mill area is much better with the light added.
Hi Sparky, thank you. Weathered it is and well lit under a Kamloops summer sun.
Nice running session…I’d go with the weathered grey look on the walls
Hi Anthony, we're batting 100% on the weathered look so I think I'd best go with that or risk losing my subscribers. lol.
@@trainsontuesday 😂😂don’t think you’d loose your subs if you painted it differently

Hi David.
I think the weathered or nonuniform look is more realistic.
What do you think?
Happy Modelling

@@trainsontuesday cooked too much this summer David.
Almost well done in you might say 🙃
Stay safe and happy modelling
Mon
Take care, heat can be a killer especially when mixed with humidity
Weathered looks better from this angle
Ha! That goes without saying from you. If you were in a blacked out coal cellar at midnight on a moonless night you would still be splashing matt black paint about. lol.
Hello David,did you ever get your two grain cars separated?
Hi Ray, I forgot to give an update on the interlocked hoppers in this video. I'll be sure to do it on the next one. Cheers, David.
