Another great video Mike! 😎Hey, once your truck is done, you should 3D print it in N scale and paint it exactly and place it in your awesome layout! 🤠👍
Hi Mike , the truck build is coming along well. I do like what you did to the pedestrian bridge. Looks good. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week. 😎😎 👍
Awesome and hard truck work and layout work is great 👍. Trust your hand will be 100% in a hurry. Thanks for having the buildings and freight cars in stock 😄
Hi from Michigan 🏈 I use to work on vehicles - I was a shop teacher for 36 years. Jack of all trades and master of none. 🚂 Cool update on truck & layout 👍 🚂
The layout is looking good. I like the was the pedestrian overpass came out. The truck is coming along nicely. I love the blue you chose for the wheels. That blue looks great with the chrome rings and caps.
Thanks for the update, Mike. Truck and layout are both progressing in the new year. I know I've said it before, but I LOVE that truck and what you are doing with it.
Hey Mike, the truck and the layout are both looking great. I like the color you painted the wheels. As for the steering wheel being so hard to get off, I have never seen one that had to be cut off. I can't wait to see what you do next. As for the layout, I really like how the town is coming together. You are a very talented modeler. Your advice on everything is spot on. Thanks for sharing.
I often wonder what my kato track would look like painted, looking at yours encourages me somewhat to go for it....a lot of plastering done congrats also on the airbrushed bridge ☘
Wow! Mike you really had tough time with that steering wheel, but then it was in place for 70+yrs. my dad and I had a 47 Chevy pickup when I was in hs. I learned to drive stick in that truck. The truck is looking good. Your layout is looking good. You are right about looking at scene many times and then adding a little to it at a time to your liking.
Hi Mike I never get tired of looking at any part of the layout lol I love your amazing layout and its amazing how real that town looks!! You are one talented guy!! I love the truck wheels!! I love the truck lol so cool!! Thanks for sharing your layout and truck with us they are both amazing!! Have fun working on the truck but please be careful dont hurt yourself please!!! sending much love
Great episode, #91! Isn't it amazing how touching one thing while working on vehicles leads to having to replace two other parts! If your lucky! Especially when refurbing older cars and trucks! The new parts like Tires, Freshly painted wheels and sparkling hub caps really brings joy to me soul! I'll wager you may have invented between one and three brand new cuss words while exorcising that old steering wheel from its permanent location au steering shaft! ;-) It's fun teaching kids how to fix their own cars! Very rewarding! Can't never get bored of searching your scenery for new bits and improvements, especially in yer town!! The town certainly is looking lived in! Dang it, I can't remember if you've divulged the name of the town or not. Also lovin' how you weathered the foot bridge! Thanks Mike! PS: It's extra nice that you and Robin have the best house in town! Very appropriate!
Mike - for the gap in the road, how about making it a construction scene where the road had to be cut to install some underground utility or some such? The gap can be a temporary completion to the road until they get it newly paved. Just a thought ...
Dear Mike, great vid, sorry to see the steering wheel pull off was such an ordeal. Nevertheless, when you switch out the shaft for the 4 speed version, the purpose of the ordeal is clear to this humble viewer. Such plastic to steel ‘welds’ (I call ‘m that) can be a true pain in the you know where. Either such a connection gives up over time, or it won’t give up, like in your case. Must be some kind of ABS, for the stinky part. Beautiful mirrors and mounts, awesome! Plus those wheels. Love the fact that you keep the patina on the body of the truck. Very cool shots from the railroad. Think those road transitions are gonna look great. Especially on the edges between road and parking pavement/commercial driveways. Curious for the paint job on the roads. City is looking good! Might be fun to show the perspective view from just over the fascia, think that element of undulation in the front really adds to the scene! Cheerio
Mike il camion è veramente eccezionale mi sono sempre piaciuti i mezzi d'epoca riguardo il tuo plastico sta' venendo un buon lavoro ancora auguri per il tuo dito x👍👍
Nice progress on the track although I’m not interested in the car repair stories I confess I fast forward past that. Thanks for the model railroad information and how to for that.
Hi ya Mike. Wow. The steering wheel turned out to be a pain. Interested in the new shaft installation. Just curious, other than the wheels where else will you be using that blue? It’s all coming together nicely. Thanks for the update of the town and plaster work. Little by little. See ya next time.
Hi Mike I never get tired of looking at the layout!! I think that layout is amazing and I think that town looks so amazingly real!! You are one talented guy!! Love the truck I think its so cool!! I hope you have fun fixing the truck i cant wait to see it all done!! Stay amazing and see ya in the next one!!
Mike you may have forgot the Coke trick on the steering calumn. That may have eaten all that corrosion. The truck is looking really good. Just looking forward to see more you get. As far as the layout is coming along nicely. The area you have that you don't know what to do with, the first thought that came to my v mind was a dog doing its business might be 😅😅😅. Thanks for sharing. Hope the finger is getting better😊
Nice update Mike. I have a very similar problem since I have 24 trains on staging under the area where I am doing scenery above. Looking forward to future updates....John
Two things mike, IMHO, the road overpass, crossing the double track to the right of the town, appears to be 'swayback' instead of flat or slightly humpback. Second is - are you still planning on adding a center support for the walking bridge over the yard? Looking better with each visit 🙂
You mostly answered a question that's been bugging me, what to do between yard tracks with arrow gaps between the edges. They yard is only about 2 to 3 feet long, and will be mostly hidden under a mountain, but I was wondering if I should just fill the space with ballast, or use some filler material. I have some strips of Woodland Scenics black foam, I think I will use to economise on ballast filler. Or maybe I'll use plaster. I'll be watching to see what you do under the walkway.
Hey Mike...the truck is looking great! The pedestrian bridge also looks great. What about a support in the center of it? It looks like a long span without support. For the area as you come into town, you can put one of the "Welcome To" town sign/billboard???? Just my thoughts. Take Care! Marc
Great video once again Mike... On a related topic, where did you get the footbridge spans that you used to extend yours over the yard? Old Atlas product? Thanks, I want to do something similar. Ron
Thanks Ron they are simply these upside down. I soldered the track together and it is still under there. shop.fiferhobby.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=11689

LOL , we worked hard for that house in Kachina.
Thanks Michael , Mike
Lovin’ the truck! As always beautiful pike! Sure would like to see operation videos! So much Realestate to view those trains in!
Layout is not ready for operations.
Thanks , Mike
Looking great Mike !!
Thanks Stew !!

Great job on the truck and the RR. Beautiful job on both. We look forward to more updates.
Thanks Craig. That truck just buck's me on everything !!!
I bet it does. I'm starting to work on the train again as I have been helping Patty with her sister who was ill. @@N-Scale
I hope her sister will be getting better soon !!!!@@craiglordable
Thanks, unfortunately she passed on Sunday morning. She loved trains too.@@N-Scale
I am so sorry for your loss !!@@craiglordable

Nice update Mike. I have a very similar problem since I have 24 trains on staging under the area where I am doing scenery above. Looking forward to future updates....John
Thanks John , That means we have too many trains !!!
@@N-Scale Of course we do 😊😊😊
At least you have not been snowed in for 10 days
That is why I live here but it is also why the truck will have A/C

Thanks Marc. The more I looked at foot bridges the less I needed a center support.
Thanks , Mike
Thats a nice truck, are you goin to keep it that patina?
I can see how that would take a long time. Thats a lot of plaster and a lot of work for sure!
Thanks Joe and yes the truck will remain patina !! Layout work is progressing
Great video once again Mike... On a related topic, where did you get the footbridge spans that you used to extend yours over the yard? Old Atlas product? Thanks, I want to do something similar.

Thanks Ron they are simply these upside down. I soldered the track together and it is still under there.

Nice interior colors. Had a blue truck once, not a fan of blue
I like blue but this will be a mix !!
Yellow is my favorite color but I would never have a yellow vehicle.
Vice grip steering wheel😅
I may have too. !!!!
More WEED
LOL , Yes I do need more !!!!
