Karyn, I don't think anyone except Dale was aware of your model building talents! There are so few women model builders and even fewer who are willing to share their talents with the youtube community. Thanks for sharing and I for one hope to see more modeling from both you and Dale.
I have surprised Dale on many occasions.. When we first met, I told Dale that I was a "car person" and have motor oil running in my veins.. I didn't know if he believed me, or not! Dale mentioned that ALL cool car people have a piston. I said, " I know! I have one!" And I did!! I sent him a picture of my piston! LOL! I grew up building models.. mostly cars. It's fun to do!
Piko is the Cadillac of Model Kits, really well engineered! nice job Miss Karen!
Looks very central european. Just picked up one of these already assembled for $100 at my local shop. I’m gonna add some snow paint to it for the G Scale under tree Christmas layout. Beautiful building.
Well done, Miss Karyn. Fun to watch. Dale should be careful or you will be narrating Toy Man Television. Looks like you both had fun. Good tips. See y'all Sunday.
We do have fun!! Thanks for watching!!
Glad you love your PIKO kit! (pronounced pea - co. :) ) Great to see families having fun with trains!
Pea co..... Who knew?? Everyone here says pie co. Great kits though!!!! Do share the video!! Hope to do more of these!!
Anything new coming?
I will check with the marketing people to see if they are ok with it being shared. Have fun!
Love that you guys are having fun with PIKO products. PIKO America has shared this video with some of our fans and look forward to seeing more videos.
In the future, maybe you will show off #55701 PIKO-Fix plastic model cement as well? We have gotten many compliments on it.
I used (like 20 years ago) "super glue" to put together several Piko buildings. The good news is that ten years later, I have perfect kits back. Totally fell apart, leaving every part in a big heap. In the show we used plastic weld. Works great, Is this the glue that comes in the little tube in the kit? I've used that too, works great. THOSE buildings are the same as the day I out them together. Like a rock!
FANTASTIC!! I am addicted to your videos. Always enjoy them and this was one of the greatest ones.
Gee, thanks!! Having some fun making them.
karyn its great to see more and more woman injoying the train hobby and building things the depot looks great i think your great i hope you had a fun chirstmas and happy new year to you both
karl schweizer I have always loved trains! It would be great to encourage women into the hobby. Husband and wife teams, working together!!
Great job Karyn. I am glad you showed us how to put this model together. I remember the Grizzly Flats Depot when Ward Kimball was on PBS with his Tracks Ahead program. You and Dale are made for each other with your common interest and abilities. Looking forward to your next project Karyn. Happy New Year to the both of you.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We will definitely be doing more projects! Happy New Year to you and yours!! :D
I am currently building my grizzly flats and I like your ideas re wood grain finish and green shades, if you make another piko, the windows are double hung meaning both windows can move, kinda tricky to get them in the frame but after a couple you will have it, the other thing is the white board at the beginning can be used to put your advertising on to give them a little depth. Thanks for sharing and please build some more piko!
Thanks! Dale and I have a friend, who puts full interiors in his model railroad buildings.. Curtains and blinds make the building look real!! Glad to know what the little cardboard was for... We could still use it! Thanks for watching!! :D
This came out fantastic ! Truly stunning detail, and I love the extra modifications. I recall doing one PIKO building ever, when I was a kid running my first LGB trains (like the Colorado and southern mogul ...which I cannot for the life of me find the big snow plow replacement part to change its appearance) , which was a house with a cool waterwheel for that type of scene, which I had planned to have on my layout back then. Needless to say, I did not do nearly as good a job 🤣 👏🏻
Karyn just finished restoring that exact model we’re going to put it in our front yard! Just as an ornament because it’s such a neat little mill! I guess you heard the original grizzly Flats depot burned down in the Christmas fire two years ago. What a tragedy
Toy Man Television i hadn’t, and i just read about it. that makes me really sad, mostly because i never got to see it in person :(
Your wife and you what a wonderful combination and a great program KEEP HER ha ha thank you for all you do !
We do have fun!!!!! Off in a few minutes to make some Hot Wheels cars with a casting machine!!
Karyn did an exceptionally good job, Like the added X-Mas decor. Makes it pop.
Thanks!!
I have a G gauge layout. It's a made modular 18' X 10. I made it to take to train shows. I have a mikado and an old diesel. I enjoy making the layout look real. I always wanted a piko station but its out of my price range. Your wife did an amazing job building it.
Thanks! It's been a long time since I have done any model building.. The closest was a large Victorian doll house, that my mom gave to my dad one Christmas. It ended up being a family project.. even involving the grandkids!! One of my "ideas" is to make a model of a trailer house... detailed.. Right down to the pink flamingos! Then... take that to a model train show! A model railroad might not be complete without a trailer park! LOL!
Nicely done! She's a keeper.
That she is.
Nice job! I use a NEW Nicholson 4" mill bastard file (that's what it's called) to smooth out the parts off the sprues, and remove parting lines. I built one of these years ago.
I like adding “grain” with a daw blade.
You did a great job Karyn. You can't rush art. Take your time till you get exactly what you want. The way I see it, it took you a freakin half hour to make! Lol!😂
G'day Karyn! Quite an Impressive… job on building the 'Piko' Grizzly Flats Depot, complete with your curtains, blinds and marvelous Christmas lights!! Very cool!
Cheers! :-)
Thanks for the kind words! This was a lot of fun! Can't wait to build another! Thanks for watching!! :)
Your welcome, Karyn! :-)
By the way, Karyn! I always enjoy watching you, and your wonderful partner… Toy Man! (the best!!)
Looks great!
NemesisJake Thanks!! 😇
Love this video.My favorite part of the hobby is building model buildings.Everything from wood Campell kits DPM plastic.Great video.
Me too. And Steve. And Al. And Karyn!! We all love building structures. Funest part!! AND interiors!!
so cool
Thanks!!
Nice job!
Tom Klock Thanks!! 😇
Karyan your such an artist.
Happy new year from Scotland
Happy New Year to you too!! :)
Very nice thank you
Fun build.
nice build
Turned out great!!
Fun. Its great that you both love trains,and each outher.
We do!! Models and trains!!
Fantastic build, well done. That kit is very well made with great detail, definitely worth the purchase price
Karyn nailed it! Looks GREAT. For use under the tree, but I'm thinking that it will have a spot in the garden for special events.
Good job on depot! Happy New Year! Thanks for showing!
Thanks!! Looks great under the tree!

Ward Kimball would have been pleased. It is a nice model and Walt can't have it back either. ;-)
Took Mia to Disney on Ice. Had no idea this was just Walt's cryogenically frozen body on display. Yuk. Merry Christmas!!!
The plastic sheet can be used for sign backing on the peal and stick signs!
Or scratch building an outhouse!! On to that project!!! Or signs..
Hey Dale. Hey Karyn. Looks like you had a fun Christmas! Another fun video you posted. :)
Thanks!! Fun time with it.
:)
We always have fun! It really was a great Christmas! Hope yours was too!! :)
I'm glad to hear that. Mine was fun. We had family and friends over. Kids opening gifts, etc. :)
very awesome
Thanks!!
Dale and Karyn, love your videos always love to watch them on Sunday. Here's a little tid bit. The Reason that it's Population 5 that's written on the Grizzly Flats decal is that 5 lived at the Property Grizzly Flats was on. Ward Kimball's home, it was Ward, his wife Betty, and his 3 Children John, Kelly and Chloe. Look up the Friends of the Emma Nevada group on Facebook, this group is restoring Ward Kimball's Emma Nevada to operation.
Thanks for the information! My grandparents lived in a little unincorporated town called Freedom, Utah. The population there was 10... There might be a population of 15 there today!
Very nice, and have a Happy New Year!
Thanks!! You too!! We need to finish digging out from under snow!! GAD!!
Beautiful job on an equally beautiful building!
Karen, a great job! having built a similar model, I would urge adding a bead of cement on inside seams to make sure it holds up over time.
We forgot to mention that... I did put a bead of glue on the inside corners.. just to make sure it would hold. After that much work... I want it to last! Thanks for watching!! :D
Very nice job, Karyn! Very realistic! Happy New Year to you and Dale! :) Jack
Jack R Thanks! It was VERY real at the end... and I do mean end, when the chair made a hasty exit before I could gracefully take my seat!!
Hey, Karyn! Let's hope that chairs are better anchored in the new year! LOL! Jack
Fun! that's all I can say! but in my opinion, I wouldn't use testors glue, I'd use tamiya thin cement but I guess that comes in small amounts but other than that I love the depot!
Oh... I was never a fan of Testers glue. I use to build model cars, when I was a teen. Testers glue, back then, was like trying to glue two plastic parts together with pine sap! It stuck to my fingers, and made goobers and finger prints on the windows. It glued everything but what it was suppose to!! I was quite impressed with the Testers glue I used on the depot. It did what glue is suppose to do! I will have to try the Tamiya thin cement on another project!
Karyn Felix-Angell oh yes please do, I have been using tamiya for about a year now! it dries rather quickly and shouldn't get fingerprints on the windows, but I'd still be careful with them!
That was beautiful, and looked fun! I'm tempted now to get that kit for my "Dime Novel Legends" figures! (Old West action figures)
I think that the two square holes in the roof... if I'm not mistaken, is to place the chimney onto one of them. (some folks decorate the insides of G scale structures, and may have one side or the other of the room they want a pot belly stove) I know if I were to find one and build it, I would make the roof removable, and have the inside fully decorated... (as much as possible, at least) But then, I'm one of those idiots that attempts to decorate the insides of HO buildings too... it's because I was probably dropped as a baby, I'm sure.
Great job im eventually going to be getting into G scale soon.
Thanks! I like N Scale, but really fell in love with TT Scale! Dale has talked me into working with 1/20 scale, and a garden railroad... which really makes sense! The TT Scale is just stinkin' cute! But in order to work with it, I would need more visual magnification than what my bifocals currently give! Also... The hand dexterity isn't what it use to be. Much better to work on a layout that I can actually see, than doing something that requires tweezers and a jewelers loop! Thanks for watching!! :)
A Depot.. AND a lunar landing! Or was that a "flying buttress"? Did anyone get the plate number on that speeding chair??
This was a fun model to build.. Since my middle name should have been Grace.... Well.. If I can put a model, like this, together... Anyone can!! And have fun doing it!!!!
An expensive kit, but with all that detail I can see why. A great build too and the scale Christmas decorations set it off. I think the square holes in the roof were two options for where to fit the chimney?
What's Wallace doing on your train?! ;-)
Absolutely did not know what the square holes were for... Perhaps something to do with the manufacturing of the roof.. if were and injection type casting. I originally thought that they were for the chimney too... But the front one was too close to the front door, and the rear one was too low for the pipe to clear the ridge line of the roof... Didn't want trouble from the building inspector!! The actual "flashing" of the chimney had cutouts, which formed to the shingles.. So, I placed it near the top, to clear the ridge line on the roof.... That way, Ward Kimball can build a fire in the stove, and not worry about a tiny spark igniting the roof!! LOL!
I wouldn't put a pot belly next to a door in real life. All the warm air would get whisked away. My chimney is where the square section is on the rear part of the roof. It was already built when I bought the model. True, it is lower than the ridge line so a draft would not be good if the wind was coming in certain directions. My plastic figures may get a cold butt. :-)
absolutely fantastic!! My admiration to both of you!!! Happy and safe New Year!!---One question, Please, The type of glues you used??
Testors Both the plastic, sold everywhere and the wood glue!! Why? Cause we had some. And it seems to work great for putting in windows. Really cant tell it from the regular glue. HARD TO FIND. Green tube. AND Plastruct plastic weld. Best glue we have found, but can't be used in some areas. Goes on super thin with a brush and evaporates in seconds. So you need to put the parts together and brush on from the back side. (best way)
Can put on the part and then put the parts together, but you only have about 15 seconds to get it in place. Notice Karyn does that in a buns of places. How the roof was put together.
Awesome work. Could those holes in the roof have been mounting locations for the chimney base, so you could have it fit slightly flush with the roof?
We think they are part of the system for pulling the roof out of the mold. The "plugs" hide them, so I assume they really didn't want them there, but needed them for some manufacturing reason.
I'd bet that's the case, the 2 holes give you 2 choices for placement, the plug fills the one you don't use. There's no reason for them to have the holes for removal from the mold. Lots of companies make model buildings without holes in the roof.
Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas! I'm wondering, do you know if the Grizzly Flats Depot is available in HO scale?
Yes!!! good kit. Scale Structures, so like as old as Ward Kimballs build of it, but I think still on the market. scale-structures.com/ss1147
Fun, love it. Thanks for sharing. Is that a Gerstner tool box in the background? I have one that's about 60 to 70 years old in my garage.
Yup!! Still made. that's only about 5 years old.
Actually I'm very familiar with the brand. The Gerstner International's are made over seas. One made in the USA can run over $1000 today, crazy. They were the mark of toolmakers back in the day. I got mine from from my Dad over 30 years ago to continue the tradition.
I have a "Dorothy's House" WOW!! Cool kit!!
do you think the chimney should have fit into one of the square holes in the roof giving you the option of two places to put it?
just wondering.
I think so because the other spot is directly above the inside wall adjacent to the front door. The chimney is more central on the rear roof on my model than in the video. I did not built it though.
Hello, that was a really nice video and lovely build. could ask a question? i collect 1:18 scale figures and like to build dioramas for them. ive been trying to get an idea of how close G scale buildings would be to the figures. so i was just curious what the height is on the door of the Depot, and maybe what the height of the Banker figure you have posed in front of it at the end?
Looks like garage mahall
Just wondering what solvent the Plastruct stuff is. I tend to use Ambroid Pro Weld or Tenax 7R which are methylene chloride. I use Testors liquids less, it's methyl ethyl ketone. Not tried the Plastruct liquid.
Not sure. They have 2 formulas. This one works with their plastic which most plastic welds don't. this one bonds ABS to Butyrate, ABS to Styrene, ABS to Acrylic. It's radical!! But works well!!
probably methylene chloride then, it works on pretty much anything, except acetyl, nothing work on that.
A bit of the buildings history with plans etc.

I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the excellent work. I'm thinking about building a replica of the Grizzly Flatts Station in my backyard. I'm not sure if I will build the full size version or a scaled down size. I'm struggling to find the actual dimensions of it. Would you know how I could find the dimensions? I live in Ontario, Canada so a visit is too far.
There are several kits out. Al are sort of expensive, just to get the plans, but I'll bet there is a plan on line somewhere. Get the HO or even this 1:22 and scale up. Not sure if we kept our plans...
www.burnsland.com/disneyrailroads/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3630
Here are some plans of the SS Kit. I make the width of the side at 12 feet. So you should be able to scale from there.
Toy Man Television thank you so much. Keep up the great work!
That must have taken you a freaking half hour to make. But good job.
Pinchie08 Right you are! Just a tad over twenty-eight minutes! You should see me shoveling snow out of a driveway!!! LOL!!
your wife is awesome
Window glazing on Piko/Pola kits is by far the worst thing about them. I had this kit NIB and stupid me I sold it.
Fun kit!! They are still out there, many hobby shops don't carry them anymore, expensive and large scale is off from where it was before 2008. But you can get one for sure for about 200 on line.
Toy Man Television I really like their kits. I have built several over the years and I just built a Piko general store kit. I will look for some more this weekend at a local train show. BTW that mysterious piece of white styrene every kit comes with? On my last kit it showed it is supposed to be used for mounting the storefront display decal stickers so it can be glued directly behind the glass, I also never use it or the decals because they look awful, I get 1/2" dollhouse items and use them because they in scale and give the window/interior some depth you dont get with just the decal sticker. :D
Yup!! The little plastic is just weird. But we figured it had to do with signs. When scratch building we use 1/2 inch doors and windows because you can get them. And they look fine. Cheat the size of the building up a bit and it looks great on a 1/20 scale railroad. Or 1/22. Or 1/2.
The American accent at times makes a 'can' sound like 'can't'. One of the weird aspects of the English language combined with non English accents that sometimes creates the exact opposite meaning to some listeners therefore dysfunction. No offence intended.
So, can they be used outdoors or not?
Yes!! Very UV stable. As long as you use a good welded glue, not super glue. I have the Cripple Creek Depot and it's a bit worse for wear, but it was outside 12 months of the year for 5 years. Some bugs were living in it. Moved them on. But looks great still!! I was in Upstate New York years ago at a White Castle fast food. Gave my order, and the kid just stared at me. Blankly. Then said "I have no idea what you said". Hum....
Thanks, I have the Grizzly Flats Depo right here next to my desk. I bought it assembled so not entirely sure if it was OK for outdoors. I figured it probably was though. I also have the similar looking Pola 'Silverton' station with regular roof. No longer made and even stronger than the Grizzly Flats. I figure you could almost stand on top of it it is so strong but not going to try.
I have started assembling the Pola water mill but got stuck because I'm not entirely happy with the glue I was using so found some good advice here. Cheers Toy Man and Karyn and have a happy new year!
I taught English language learners for our school district.... The English language has to be one of the most difficult... One can go crazy trying to figure it out! That would be the "fun" in dysfunctional..... Or not. :/ This particular model may be used outside.
Happy New Year to you and yours! Glue can be an issue... I've ruined many model car with the wrong kind of glue...
