The Blaxland Backshops - How I made Blaxland #1 "Alex" [PILOT]

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Welcome to the Blaxland Backshops, where I'll be discussing and going through the build process for custom model trains I create.
"Alex" is the Blaxland Ridge's #1. here's how I made him.
I have wanted to gear my channel towards my models forever now, but haven't had the motivation to make videos. I don't plan on making videos frequently, but when I do, here's what to expect.
Enjoy!

    If the fictional railroad and model is a love letter to 1800’s railroading then this video is a love letter to custom work and model railroading. Unbelievable production value. This video raises the bar in so many ways. Loved loved loved the photos of him at the show. That was amazing. Also shoutout to the Richard voice cameo during the tender in bathroom cup scene. And also shoutout to that Arbour kit lmao.

    This is late but I recommend using Super Clean to strip plastic. It is faster than alcohol if you are striping acrylic paint and other kinds (but you probably will still need to use alcohol for enamel paints), but Super Clean will not harm plastic at all! It comes in purple bottles including a gallon jug.

    Texas has gone through some changes since then. Dispatch too.

If you come across another's one it could be interesting to modernize it into a 'fallen flag' turned logging locomotive with a stepbored pilot and heavily weathered, I did this on my LE American for awhile (now in the shop for a rebuild into an inspection locomotive) it was quite intriguing and boy it was easy to keep looking grubby burning wood lol!
