As I’m watching this video I’m surrounded by cardboard, glue and wooden sticks. I’m making my first ever miniature from scratch because of this channel. It’s a very basic little house but I’m proud to be making it anyways. Thanks Boylei ☺️
Howdy. You probably won't see this, but I LOVE your train videos! The landscaping you use is always so creative and I love the unique design you do for every single one! Greetings from Texas, have a fantastic week.
I genuinely always wonered what the numbers referring to trains meant. . . Now I know it is the wheels! This isn't just a modelling channel, it's educational too! Thanks for that!
First thing I noticed is that I’ve been saying Colorado wrong my entire life. I can’t believe I’ve never really paid attention to how you say it before. Great work. My husband and I love your channel.
Awesome build. Awesome story. And awesome video. Here's a small rp from me to offer flavor. "People from the cities always say that the train is the best way to travel. Well, I don't know what you east coasters know about trains but we in the west know them for what they truly are. Monster baits on tracks. Those things cause so much noise and movements monsters will move to attack a train from miles around. Even those big fancy guns of theirs ain't going to do squat when a giant-sized sandworm or ant lion destroys the tracks. Or the train itself!" "My brother was a coal miner. He witnessed half a train get swallowed by a sinkhole caused by one of those big nasties. Took two days to repair the tracks. Took bloody two months until a replacement train arrived." "There is a reason why they need those fancy supply carts with extra supplies, it is to repair the tracks every time a monster damages them. And guess what happens when they drive back to the east coast after finishing repairing the tracks all the way here? The exact same thing. Time and again. Rinse and repeat. All for the fat cats greasing their pockets with the oil and blood of trains and people." -From an interview with a local monster hunter in Colorado
I want to thank you for sharing other crafter's works with us, especially those with YT channels. As you probably know, youtube algorhytm always suggests same people again, again and again (or it suggests those "entertaining" crafters like nerdforge) so its kinda hard to find new good channels sometimes. Thanks a lot!
I love how that train turned out! Appling the new paint with a sponge really gave the new colors a lot of texture/dimension. I've seen a similar effect done by "dabbing" with a short, stubby brush, but I now want to try the sponging techique. Looking forward to seeing the new WIW layout for this wicked cool train. I know however cool I think it'll be, you will make it ten times better. Keep on keeping on!!
You are the man. It has never occurred to me to put tape over old blades like that. I used razor blades at work & have found old ones the hard way when I've had to find something I threw in the trash. That tip alone is AWESOME!!! Also, the pics you shared of your followers' creations were all fantastic looking. A lot of creative people out there. On the layout, I'm really looking forward to see what you do with your amazing looking new train set. With the circle, I wondered if it was going to be some kind of prison/holding spot for dangerous cryptids with the train circling for extra protection. LOL
Man, I love this universe a lot. This is an awesome addition. Also, you've now mentioned mermaid chupacabras (threat to boats) and chupacabras (threat to trains) so I imagine there to be aerial chupacabras as well.
You should make some kind of train engine/mech that places train tracks down for a new railway. May or may not get attached by some kind of beast that doesn't want more railroads 👍 great video!
Your train video was the first video I ever saw from your channel, after that I was instantly hooked and have been watching every week. I can’t believe it’s been a year….. Keep up the good work and funny commentary, I’ve enjoyed every second!!!❤
It's just a guess, but I imagine there are many of us Model Railroaders that keep tabs on your channel just hoping you will eventually make the leap into the hobby in earnest!! A themed railroad similar to Dave's over at Thunder Mesa Studios but only based on the Imaginary Wild West. It would be epic and wonderful to see. Love the Denver & Rio Grande!! Thanks for providing inspiration to all modelers! ~Dennis at the OC&RG
My Fav Scale! HO, for me it seems to be the perfect size for building with NEW IDEAS! Man I can't wait for your NEW world to come to life! Sunday Coffee Waffles a BHT! HECK YEA! I also Live in Colorado! WOOP WOOP!
Having had to suture many a crafter's finger, I confirm what Boylei said about using a sharp new blade on utility knifes and such. Not only do you need less force and have thus more control but should you go over, the cut will be nice and defined, easily made good with a few stitches. On the other hand, a dull blade will have you put more force and when the accident happen you are putting more force on a blade that will cut as much as rip into you skin and flesh. These wounds are much more painful, take longer to heal and, even if i'm careful and delicate, will leave a nasty scar.
So excited when I got up this morning to see a new video. Love the west stuff particularly and this train turned out really cool. As a writer, I live for the lore.
I find it rather amazing, the way thing are with everyone being connected, we can watch someone bring the stuff they see in their head out into the real world! Also how so many people support the creation of stuff like this train set, also the filming and editing of videos explaining what you did and why
Awesome work. I feel like the train needs some kind of ram in the front to push objects out of the way so there's no need to stop and clear it manually. Leaving them exposed to whatever might be lurking around.
Definitely tape your blades before throwing them away, or place them in a hard container! Stops them from potentially ripping open your garbage bags, or worst case scenario, accidentally cutting yourself 😅 I had a job cleaning offices in uni and when emptying a bin at an architectural firm, the bottom of the bag tore open from all the old blades someone dumped in it. I didn't know and tried to stop it spilling, wasn't wearing gloves either so sliced up my fingers pretty good!
It’d be cool to se a semi- streamlined locomotive. It would totally fit the aesthetic. Just a little cowling would look incredible and it’d be fun to add little greebles and a custom paint job 🔥
Probably disappeared in the comments somewhere on a previous build, but I had offered the idea for a variant of this. Glad to see you had come to the same thought set. My older comment was it was an old confederate train the Pinkertons ended up with. After "tactically acquiring" it from it's previous owners.
This is awesome. Just as an idea, I’ve seen the Big Boy locomotives referred to as ‘the train that conquered the Rockies.’ If the railroads are having so much trouble, maybe a massive, heavily armed and armored war train is just what they need. It’s a little anachronistic, but I think it’d be cool.
I tinker in building and weathering scale models most are 1:35 scale. I came across your you tube videos while getting ideas so I'm hooked, I had an idea for your next, next build. "What IF" Christpher Columbus had to cross the prairies with his ships, Santa Maria, Nina, Pinta, using wagons with the ships strapped to them, sailing across the grass lands.
You should make a diorama of a train similar to this being attacked by several small monsters clinging to the sides and being shot off and stuff like that.
You take things that are already cool...and you make them so much better! What a great world we would live in if everyone did the same thing!!! Thanks for inspiring us Boylei!!!
I really love the world you've created! It sounds so cool with huge monsters in a wild west setting. Can't wait to hear more about it in future videos!
The train turned out amazing, can't wait to see what the terrain will look like when it's finished!
As I’m watching this video I’m surrounded by cardboard, glue and wooden sticks. I’m making my first ever miniature from scratch because of this channel. It’s a very basic little house but I’m proud to be making it anyways.
Thanks Boylei ☺️
Honestly, the confidence to scratch build my first model cabin is due in large part to this channel. That's so cool that you're working on one too!
Hey, best of luck on the build!
Hell yeah
You go my guy! I feel second hand pride for everyone who has the courage to try new things
i made my first thingy because of this channel too!
I genuinely look forward to these every week. Love when you add to the wild imaginary west. Can’t wait to see part 2 of this project
Couldn’t say it better!
Howdy. You probably won't see this, but I LOVE your train videos! The landscaping you use is always so creative and I love the unique design you do for every single one!
Greetings from Texas, have a fantastic week.
Spoiler: We saw this
@@AshtonLim-wc2cq I know it doesn't seem like much, but seeing that little fish with a heart made my day.
Dude, shoutout to Adam Hills, that F16 looking CLEEEEEEEAAAAAAANNNNN!!!
I genuinely always wonered what the numbers referring to trains meant. . . Now I know it is the wheels! This isn't just a modelling channel, it's educational too! Thanks for that!

I love every bit of lore we get for the Wild Imaginary West. Can’t wait to see what you do with this project!
What a treat this was. Really looking forward to seeing the new layout for this one. The world building continues!
I enjoy the train based Wild Imaginary West updates
If the train turned out this awesome, I can’t imagine how awesome the scenery will be!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Congrats to the patron contributors, I am always impressed

I love your kit bashing, but I was glad to see you talk about blade safety 😀
I have a newfound love for Emergency Crafting Supplies! And that horseshoe will totally come in handy!

I use a lot of blades where I work. Any hard pill bottle works great too. Something small and plastic.
Man, I love this universe a lot. This is an awesome addition. Also, you've now mentioned mermaid chupacabras (threat to boats) and chupacabras (threat to trains) so I imagine there to be aerial chupacabras as well.
Or maybe an in-universe saying could be "When Chupacabras fly!"
I'm still waiting to see the mermaid chupacabras.
I'm picturing a branched family of chupacabras that reside in different ecosystems, like eevee's evolutions
You should make some kind of train engine/mech that places train tracks down for a new railway. May or may not get attached by some kind of beast that doesn't want more railroads 👍 great video!

I love this so much. Makes me wish the Durango Silverton Narrow-gauge RR was like this instead of the pleasant ride it is XD.
Pretty cool seeing the train that rides being my work everyday turning into something like this! Love it!
Cool to see Durango's train added to your wild imaginary west!
I love the rail gun on the top of the train, that was a nice touch
This reminds me I have a train model sitting in a box I bought to modify nearly a year ago 😅 Great work!
Larger train, larger diorama, larger area for monsters to be hiding in their monster hiding places. Looking forward to it!

Good job I’m so proud of you for riding without training wheels
Uuh, can't wait to see what intricate design you'll make for the terrain!
Amazing as always, Boylei - can't wait to see more!
Train looks sweet!!!!!👍🏼 Looking forward to your next video.
**Kudos to your patrons the Artwork was awesome!!!
Respect to boylei for having the patience to do all of this the train turned out really cool good job boylei!
So excited when I got up this morning to see a new video. Love the west stuff particularly and this train turned out really cool. As a writer, I live for the lore.
I'm endlessly entertained at a railgun encased by a railing. As always a wonderfully fantastic job!
I find it rather amazing, the way thing are with everyone being connected, we can watch someone bring the stuff they see in their head out into the real world! Also how so many people support the creation of stuff like this train set, also the filming and editing of videos explaining what you did and why
I wanna buy stuff just to kitbash because of your channel, thanks for the creative boosting
Nice! A fun new wild west train . Looks awesome, and can't wait to see the new layout. Looking forward to it!
New Boylei vid brings me great serotonin :)
Amazing video as always. The lore kind of reminded me of the Tall grass episode of Love, Death and Robots.
Thank you, Boylei!
This channel reminds me of when I was a kid and used to make those model kits of planes and cars.
Lovely start!
The way I was JUST thinking about your channel this morning and this is the first video on my feed, makes my day!
If trains in the imaginary US need heavy weaponary, imagine what the trains in Australia need
Always happy to see some Boylei.
Amazing work as ever. As a TTRPG player and GM, I also appreciate the world-building details.
Love his videos would also like to see cowboys on horses running around a multicolored firenado that would be so awesome
A couple of people recommend a tornado with a Thunderbird and lightning.... I agree with them! 😂
Awesome work. I feel like the train needs some kind of ram in the front to push objects out of the way so there's no need to stop and clear it manually. Leaving them exposed to whatever might be lurking around.
Definitely tape your blades before throwing them away, or place them in a hard container!

I didn't know and tried to stop it spilling, wasn't wearing gloves either so sliced up my fingers pretty good!
Good job, the ideas and creativity you have is outstanding. I like how you add backstory too. Thanks!
I like the idea of this new train. Especially the railgun part! P.S. that green mat has got to be the biggest cutting mat I have EVER seen.
Great job on that train. I figure the diorama will be awesome.
That sketch deserves to be in a fine art museum! 🤣
Really looking forward to the rest, lore and content alike.
Train turned out sweet, can't wait to see the layout
Imagination is the coin of the realm. Great work.
Very reminiscent of The show Firefly. That blend of space western literally and figuratively.
It’d be cool to se a semi- streamlined locomotive. It would totally fit the aesthetic. Just a little cowling would look incredible and it’d be fun to add little greebles and a custom paint job 🔥
I'd love to see Boylei kitbash a bullet train as a prototype for mountain tunnels.
Probably disappeared in the comments somewhere on a previous build, but I had offered the idea for a variant of this. Glad to see you had come to the same thought set. My older comment was it was an old confederate train the Pinkertons ended up with. After "tactically acquiring" it from it's previous owners.
I really loved how this train turned out! I can’t wait to see the brand new layout!
That was GREAT!!! Love the paint job. Thank you Boylei for doing another art challenge!
Can't wait to see what new terrain this train has to traverse and what beasties it has to fend off :)
Looking forward to your next video.👍👍
Great work!
As for used razor blades, I resharpen mine with a knife sharpener and almost as good as new.
That looks so great can't wait for the finished product always look forward to seeing what you create.
Awesome. I always look forward to seeing your art.
Looking forwards to the finished project.
Oh yeah! I've been waiting for a new train build! (Something I never thought I would be interested in lol)
Congratulations on graduating from stableizers 🚲🚲😄 ace train pimping 👍🏻
A train station for the town would be a great addition :D
Your Wild imaginary West is such an incredible world building project!
I love your videos, they are a highlight of my week! Thank you from an Irish Viewer
You are such an inspiring builder. Thank you for sharing all your talents and tricks. I want to build stuff like you one day.
Yay! Consolidation-type locomotives getting more love and attention! :)
This is awesome.
Just as an idea, I’ve seen the Big Boy locomotives referred to as ‘the train that conquered the Rockies.’ If the railroads are having so much trouble, maybe a massive, heavily armed and armored war train is just what they need. It’s a little anachronistic, but I think it’d be cool.
It's giving Firefly vibes and I love it
armored trains, while being very impractical from a military strategy standpoint, are always cool to watch
Nice way to take one of my favorite starter train sets and turn it into something creative
Thanks for all the tips! It seems like more than usual. I always appreciate new info and good reminders.
Masterful work Boylei! I love all the details, from the cannon to the supply car.
I tinker in building and weathering scale models most are 1:35 scale. I came across your you tube videos while getting ideas so I'm hooked, I had an idea for your next, next build. "What IF" Christpher Columbus had to cross the prairies with his ships, Santa Maria, Nina, Pinta, using wagons with the ships strapped to them, sailing across the grass lands.
Another excellent video. Looking forward to the layout/diorama for this train.
youre voice is so soothing and your stories are incredible! you should do audiobook readings...or write a book
Interested in seeing what a larger city (like NYC, Chicago or St Louis) would look like in this universe too
Great build sir. Can't wait to see some of your ideas for small monsters.
Much love
This reminds me a bit of Iron Council by China Mieville. Which is about an armoured train in a kind of imaginary wild west setting.
You should make a diorama of a train similar to this being attacked by several small monsters clinging to the sides and being shot off and stuff like that.
As always your work is incredible and amazing.
You take things that are already cool...and you make them so much better! What a great world we would live in if everyone did the same thing!!! Thanks for inspiring us Boylei!!!
That train set is awesome, that narrow gauge rail line is a fun trip in real life. Great work, as always!
Another very well done project Boylei. I enjoy watching your videos, gives me ideas for my models I've built
That's amazing! I can't wait to see what else you do with it!
I really love the world you've created! It sounds so cool with huge monsters in a wild west setting. Can't wait to hear more about it in future videos!
7:45, i love that one!❤❤
I live in Colorado so I see this train everyday anyway this movie was super cool
Great job. The different scale will add a new depth to your old west. can't wait for the layout. And the patrons did some great work as well.
