You can rub and glue Aluminum Foil on the top of your roofs and the light leak is solved. I have been looking for something like this. That's what attracted me to this video.
that is excelent ! you are totaly right (I am in that business) ; I would ad a canopy on the structures between each loading platform; if not the structure can be reduced to the walkway level. You may had some electronic control panel for each loading arm , and an earthing cable roller for the tank cars at the base of each of the loading system
I did put an electrical box at each station. It's just a grey box, nothing special. I will have to look into an "earthing cable roller" to see what it looks like. Thank you!
Great video and nice project! I wonder if you could mask off the roof sections and spray a few layers of black spray paint. Then repaint with your aluminum color to help hide the light bleeding through.
@@nscaler454 Great work. I am working on a HO version in 3D as well. Found some images online to build from. Are you in Alberta? Great layout, what reference books or links are you using as a guide? I am new to the hobby - so far laid down track and working on signals and wiring.
@@nscaler454 I am in Calgary. Nice, thanks for the info. I am currently working on modeling an entire refinery... and I will definitely take your advice/direction for modeling the rail loading facility. Yours looks great!
Did you design the loading facility your self or did you find the stl file online. would you be willing to share the stl file? I can't find a good oil loading facility design anywhere.
I would have used the red Bondo body filler to close up the roof cracks. I really like it over the gray plastic filler ( It shrinks to much and is hard to sand or mold to the parts ). Love the idea and how it turned out for you.
Try Super Glue and Backing Soda. Besides the Baking Soda making the Super Glue Cure Faster but it will add strength to the parts. Check out Stephen Cox about the Super Glue and Baking Soda.
Incredible build, best transload I've ever seen and then in N scale too.
Need one really bad for my.. N scale layout.... Any chance of putting a kit together and I will buy it...?
Well done. Excellent work. Quite inspiring

G’day Mate, nice job on the Loading facility, so prototypical and a heck of a lot of detail. Is it available for purchase and download?
Beautiful job
Outstanding job ! ! Great video. A lot of time and effort. Thanks for sharing. Have a good day.
Outstanding work, will look real good on the Layout. Bob

I have to say, even though I model HO this is my favorite build of the year hands down. Great job!
That's a huge compliment. Thanks!
@@nscaler454 you're welcome! Happy Holidays!
@@JohnAPrescott You too
Well done, it's looks nice.
Nice project, looks great. Cheers
Wow, that looks great!

that is a sweet print and build :)
What's spacing between the two rails
Very nice!!! Great job!!!
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Great job! Love it!
Thanks!
any posability to download from your kit?
Nice video
What CAD program did you use to make your designs? This is Fantastic by the way. If you ever want to sell this as a kit, I'm interested.
I used Fusion360. Unfortunately I didn't design this kit to be easily reprinted/made, so I am not in a position to sell it.
Would like to try and design my own. What reference photos/material did you use for the design? Thanks
Do it! I found some shots on google image to give me the idea for the roof, but for the most part it all came out of my imagination.
Think you could do them in H.O. scale?
Unfortunately I would have to redo the entire 3D model, which I have no intention of doing.
What did you base th is design off? A real life model or a photo?
I looked at a few photos off google and improvised from there.

@@FS-hx9mt Yes I am in Alberta. I didn't use any books or guides, only youtube and my own imagination.

I designed and printed it myself.
@@nscaler454 Willing to sell it?
@@darga7281 It took me like 2 months to make it, so I think I'll keep it. haha.
And when do you intend to start selling these as kits?
I wish I could. lol.
@@nscaler454 Would you be interested in selling your print files? I love this. Have been searching for something like this for a while now

Would the baking soda not make it too thick to use on N Scale parts?
@@nscaler454 No. I use it all the time.
