Fantastic video! You show how to create realism that I have been searching for!

@DubaiTrains 9 месяцев назад

Great to hear it was helpful for you. I did this a while ago. All i remember is how much work it was! Going through stacks of fkextrack. But well worth the effort.

How big is the layout you are planning?

That is a nice space. If you need any assistance with the layout design just give me a shout. I provide layout design services as well.

@harperlarry49 Год назад

My favorite colors as well. Taking your time and doing it right does pay off and it looks great!! Nicely done!

@DubaiTrains Год назад

Thanks Larry. I could have painted the track whilst installed. But this just seemed easier. I still need to rust the straight track but that should go fast now the layout is still empty. As far as the colors go. I think we are all using the same colors 😅.

@Gma7788 Год назад

Only if you play from the perspective of being God, looking down on the trains. Normal people don't do what you do. They observe the trains from the human perspective at ground level.

@frankhellman6879 Год назад

Excellent point about not shining up the tops of the guard rails/ check rails. But it's a forever maintenance headache since most people use a cleaning method that cleans both rails at the same time - 2000 grit Emery Cloth around a piece of 1x3, rubbing alcohol on a rag. or a grit bar. So how to avoid rubbing the tops of those non wheel rails? Grind them down a millimeter? Put thin tape over them each cleaning? Painstakingly clean around each of the two hundred on the layout each and every time?

@DubaiTrains Год назад

I realized the same one evening. Hassle free maintenance definatly has priority. If this means that it will wear off over time then so be it. I can always repaint them locally for a speciffic photo shoot.

@RichardsMoba Год назад

Thanks for the tutorial mate, awesome detail and a lot of love you put into it. It will look awesome on your layout. Do you already have an idea on which ballast(s) you are going to use? KR Richard

@DubaiTrains Год назад

Thanks. It's the little things now that will make a big impact later, hopefully 😂. I tested the track paint with the ballast I'll use. Fine ballast, dark / black. Thats the look i like. For me a light or even white ballast is too distracting. Its like looking at a train go over piano keys. When do you expect to have the track of the main decks up and running?

@RichardsMoba Год назад

@@DubaiTrains ahh a little thong for later hunh 😆. Track will take a while, still working on the woodworks, and no time for trains this weekend, as I'll be travelling.

@DubaiTrains Год назад

* things not thongs 😂. But he, whatever keeps you motivated.

@railwaymechanicalengineer4587 6 месяцев назад

Track in the BR era got filthy within weeks of new ballast being laid. Because trains had "Brake blocks" not stupid "Motor car" type disc brakes, so large clouds of brake block dust covered tracks and the cess. Further trains didn't have "Chemical" toilets, the crap just got dumped on the track, which is why every toilet had a notice "Please do not use toilet when the train is standing in a station" !!! So track went what is known as "Track Colour", and the two major railway paint specialists "Precision paints" & "Railmatch" both produce paint & spray paints in "Track colour" & "Sleeper grime", amongst many other special railway colours !!!!

@DubaiTrains 6 месяцев назад

This track color leaves a real mess, both in HO and the real thing.

Nice painting but doesn’t the acrylic paint chip and flake off? Or do you seal it having a hard time trying to paint Peco code 55

@DubaiTrains 6 месяцев назад

Hi, in theorie yes as i didn't prime anything. But in practice the paint on the ties works just fine, at least with the acrylics I am using. The paint on the rails is a little more sensitive but no peeling or flaking. Only if / when you hit it with something sharp like a screwdriver.

@AlphaKing-ux6oc 6 месяцев назад

@@DubaiTrains Thanks for clarifying - just seen so many use acrylic and no one has said it can come off if you scrape scratch it. I’ll be priming for a better bond. Also confirms that I’m not missing anything prep wise and it well known you can scratch it off. Thanks again

@Griphook3D Год назад

What kind of track did you use?

@DubaiTrains Год назад

Almost exclusively peco turnouts and atlas flex track.

@Gma7788 Год назад

Only 50cm of track is seen in the HO size. After that, the human eyes can't see any details. At 1 metre, the train is 100 metres away from you.

@DubaiTrains Год назад

Good to know. Its the camera that picks up everything! I often take pictures of what i think looks fine with the bare eye, but on film i see all kinds of flaws :-/

@beeble2003 5 месяцев назад

@@DubaiTrains That's the curse of modelling on RU-vid. As you're standing, operating your layout at a normal viewing distance, everything looks great. But when you put a video camera a few centimetres away from things and watch the footage on a big monitor, it's like you're looking at your layout through a microscope.
