I am really enjoying your RUclips's and inspiring me to do better. From my experience the flour milling game. The purpose of the piping on the bin is that small pipe is used to have material blown from a bin inside the brewer to the outside unloading bin. There is a cylinder ( known as a cyclone) on top of the bin where the inlet pipe enters at a tangent. Two things happen here the material in the pipe hits the wall of the cyclone causing it to loose velocity and drop out of the air stream and secondly due to the larger diameter of cyclone means that the velocity of the air steam that is moving material from brewer also slows down as it is moving in the expanded area. This means it can't support the weight of the material in the air stream, so the material drops. The large pipe from the bin is to vent the air. (I suggest they have built it this way in case the bin overfills it doesn't block the delivery pipe). Normally they would just have a vent on top to release the air.
Wow! Thank you! That is a great explanation. I also noticed (not in the pictures) there is a large access hatch on the side of the funnel as well. Cheers.
I think Truck modeling is cool. I love trucks as well. So many interests with so little time. I guess if I didn't do dioramas and trains I would do trucks as well. But yes, you are correct, all these methods can be applied to truck modeling as well. Thanks for sharing that! Cheers ~ Boomer.
I watch these as soon as I see one has dropped. Thanks again for taking the time to share. BTW it stopped playing partway through, but I just reloaded the page and it completed; no worries.
Another outstanding tutorial. Nice to see it done this way rather than via a 3D printer. Old school still rules! I pick up handy tips and tricks with almost every episode. Thanks for putting this together, Boomer.
I found your Channel a few weeks ago and have been thoroughly enjoying playing catch up with your excellent presentations. Although I don't have a layout at this time, I spend a good deal of time railfanning CP, CN and the SRY. I am well familiar with the areas which have inspired your Milner and River Road layouts. Your modelling is truly outstanding, I particularly like the ease and simplicity with which you achieve such convincing results. Keep up the great work! Alan Wright, Langley
Thank you Alan. I guess when you are having fun it sort of feels easy. I have always modeled this way since I was a kid so it has become a part of me. It just took fifty years to settle in . . . lol. Cheers and thanks for supporting the channel with your comments. Cheers ~ Boomer.
It is pretty facinating to watch you builiding these things, and I certainly learn a lot. The tip how you make those bands on the cylinder is a neat trick, which I am to use in the future, the chanches of them not getting as crookes will be less! Cheers mate!
Thanks for the great video and explanation on how to do this. I am going to make my own tanks for my industries so this was helpful. Going to put together my wood building flat today!
@@boomerdiorama I have to second what Conrail Fan said. I've read many part-by-part builds in the old "Main Line Modeler" magazine and never felt ready to actually "build"... Here "I" know I can, and will...
I used a cheap xyz filament 3D printer to make 3 cylindrical shapes with a rounded and pointed end resembling surge hoppers for grain elevators that are much like you made here. took longer though. But I didn't have to try to form the funnel like you did here. You do good work, don't get me wrong. I love what you do
Here's a wild thought. Maybe put some narrow gauge track under the extractor. That way it can look rail severed. This can come in from edge layout and would fit just a short bit pass the extractor, in the under growth. Modellers licence. Could have been the factory's own narrow gauge railway.
That's an interesting idea. Although, the Extractor is served by a truck that backs into the space from the little road around the corner off scene. Great idea though. The Grain bin is on the other side of the building which is also served by truck. ;-) Cheers.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your methods and tips. I notice that you don’t use gloves when cementing your builds. Are finger prints ever an issue. I use nitrile glove for my plastics work and painting. Thanks again. Your’s are the best modeling videos. Kennedy
I never use gloves for model building. Finger prints are never an issue (with the very odd exception), because I use a tool to secure parts mostly. However, my finger does get in there due to production pressure on occasion. These kind of videos are incredibly cumbersome to film, so you will see me cheat here and there. ;-) Cheers.
Gonna use this method for a dust collector. Thanks. Gotta ask. You gonna do the handrails on the roof of the main structure too? Two small screws in a piece of wood would make a quick jig for bending wire for that, right?
As previous comments say Boomer, your work is inspiring and educational, your uploads are becoming a Pandora's box of modelling treasures for us to explore when we hit a time during a build, 'How would Boomer approach this?' When will you let us know what movies/shows you worked on? I know I've seen your work somewhere, but where? If its a personal/private choice I totally understand, but the curiosity is growing. All the best. Brian @ The Angels
Thank you. Some of the shows I worked on in the early nineties were X-Files and The Outer Limits type series, feature films, MOW's, etc. These type of films often had neat sets and models to build. Mostly science fiction productions. Cheers.
@@boomerdiorama thanks kindly Boomer, and yes, I've seen all those shows, enjoyed them too. It'd be a pleasure to buy you a beer one day and hear some of your stories about those times. Atb. Brian
@@theangelsmodellingandrailways One time I stood around for six hours for a five second scene, freezing my ass off, on a west coast mountain on the second season of Outer Limits (The Outer Limits Season 2, Episode 4 | I Hear You Calling). I wasn't prepared for it (only a jean jacket). It was for a 12 second scene where I had to dig in a melted alien couple I carved from foam into into the ground to make it look like it they (the couple) were disappearing. It was one of the early episodes with Ally Sheedy. I remember her watching me from a heated chair and blanket feeling my pain . . . lol. Lot's of funny and bizarre stories in film for sure. Cheers ~ Boomer. ruclips.net/video/Tpq-vixEOTs/видео.html
@The Angels So I'm guessing you don't know that Pandora's box contained all the evil and misfortune that has befallen humankind, which was released when she opened it?
In your opinion, do these solvents have any negative characteristics when it comes to painting? My natural tendency would be to try and apply it very precisely, but I guess that is wasting time. Clearly these solvents have no surface tension and wick well. My concern has been around not wanting paint to look funny if going over areas where I was “sloppy” with solvents.
Good question. The solvent is so thin, and if not agitated, it disappears (evaporates). Even though it might show a slight glimmer or glaze on the raw model. Any blemish disappears after paint. Furthermore, where one might cause a textured blemish due to overhandling the part, it ends up blending in with the weathering paint procedure anyway. ;-) Cheers.
With small brewers or craft brewerys,the small pipe at top pumps a semi liquid slurry of spent hops to the tank and the large pipe allows air in to slow dry the mash. Once dry they call for pickup,If my memory servesme well.
@@boomerdiorama Didn't realise that. Thanks a lot. Only came across your channel about 2 weeks ago, as I wanted to get into scratchbuilding. Have been fascinated! Probably the most helpful channel I have found for modelling - not just scratchbuilding but scenery too! Have watched from the start (now up to Vlog 53 the extractor build). Having a ball!
I believe the white labeled Plastruct cement is called Bondene. It is designed for ABS plastic as well as styrene. I don't think you are using any of Plastruct's ABS plastic in your construction. It is usually colored grey (gray) or some other color than white. I have found working with ABS plastic a little more difficult than styrene, but it is more sturdy. Some plastic modelers recommend Bondene over the orange labeled Plastruct cement because it will handle whatever kind of plastic you want to "weld".
You could take artistic license for the big round pipe going up the extractor and say it is now used as a small Transloading Hopper? Another switching move? Place a different truck there every couple/ several operating sessions?
Film and theater was a very lucrative career for me in the nineties. But then one had to be versatile and also be willing to do "other" things a well (like carpentry, scenic paint, etc.) Basically, if you were a good problem solver and a diligent worker with some talent, you were bound to be successful in film. But then, I left film for museum work (dioramas) and settled out there. The money was good but I never did it for the money, I did it because I loved it - and still do. ;-) Cheers.
Are you refering to the mixture of barley and hops because there is no such thing as barley hops. Being a home brewer I know such things. Also a typical man door is not 7 feet tall, it's 6' *". Not rying to be picky because I truly enjoy your vid's. Just thought you would like to know.
Barley hops is a slang term in Canada. Maybe where you live doors are 6' *", but the the doors I go through in Canada (including my home) are seven feet - give or take. Cheers.
Someone also mentioned that it could be a yeast bin as well. Interesting subject though. I should be able to service it with some kind of car though eh? Cheers.
@@rafaelvoncina6036 Ahh, gotcha. Marmite's actually quite nice but you need to use only the tiniest amount of it. Like a quarter-teaspoon on a whole slice of toast.

Spent grains and hops are used primarily for livestock feed and compost
Thanks for the info Ron! Cheers.

Thank you! Cheers!
Just a thought but the used hops might go for animal feed. Loving the build. I'm picking up some great tips and techniques from your work.

Correct. Farmers used to collect this stuff for free until brewing companies figured out that they could actually charge for it.
