Join me as I take the Thunder Mesa layout back to its nearly original 3x6' footprint in this FINAL phase of demolition for the reimagined layout. Thunder Mesa town is carefully removed and all of the structures stored away, then it's time to begin the first phase of actual construction with the addition of new benchwork for a dramatic canyon section! Things are really moving forward in this Thunder Mesa 2025 update!
Thanks for watching, amigos!

I liked how you were considerate of your town folk and removed the privy last. 🙂

@goodtobehandy 12 дней назад

The first thing needed and last thing to go.😁

@WanderingSpruce 13 дней назад

Congratulations, Dave! Looking forward to following along with the process

@LifeIsAnArt95 12 дней назад

You are so John-Allen-Esque. Taking the original vision and creating more awesomeness! I always look forward to your passion for the art!

@loispadgett6306 13 дней назад

You even make taking things apart fun. You saved alot of stuff. That crow will showup one day. Can't wait for the buildup video to start. I guess it did the canyon frame work began. See you next time. GOD BLESS🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

As a wargammer I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand times: You railroad men have forgotten more about making terrain then we'll ever remember

@laurapeters8686 12 дней назад

Looking forward to the new build 👍🏼

Hi Dave, I found your channel about a month ago and I've watched all the videos on your channel. I wanted to tell you as a carpenter that there is no problem with your woodwork and you shouldn't put yourself down about it because what you do is perfect for your needs. There is no need to spend more money or make things any more complicated than they need to be. I salute you sir.

Thank you!

@garystrutt2078 13 дней назад

Sure looks like your having fun!

@NotSomebody63 13 дней назад

I use nothing but sheetrock screws for everything I build. I am excited to see this next evolution!

@goodtobehandy 13 дней назад

Keep using drywall screws. They're the most economical choice,and the course thread works the best for wood to wood and foam connection. Looking forward to the build.

The back side of water!!😂. Switzer Falls? Named for Dr Falls?🤣

Drywall screws are perfectly fine for these kind of projects.

@user-LarryG1261 13 дней назад

Fun as usual Dave, thank you

@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561 16 дней назад

Dave, I'm fairly sure you've seen my "Twin Peaks" layout. When I started building it, I considered that someday it might have to be moved. Other than some scenery, it's in sections that are Bolted together.

@jimmanley4300 16 дней назад

The second time in my life to see the Eighth Wonder Of The World! 😂

@ianpatrickmchugh787 13 дней назад

Now here's a Project 2025 that I think everyone should look forward to and not be horrified by ;)

@davidbales8053 День назад

Boy Dave, just gotta say again, I think you would be amazed at what an oscillating saw would do for controlled demolition. I think many of those scenes could be gently removed in their entirety. It acts almost like a cast saw, not a jigsaw or circular saw.

@ironworksmodels 12 дней назад

I suggest referring to the downward risers as Sinkers. Seems reasonable.

@davevan8864 13 дней назад

My entire 24 x 34 O3r layout is sheet rock screws. Work just fine and they were free. Dad had boxes of them in his shop when he passed. Thanks

@glenhaasdyk2081 13 дней назад

There is nothing wrong with using drywall screws on the layout, I'm using them on mine. I do pre-drill and countersink as I'm using plywood for my benchwork and I like a nice flush fitting screw

@richardsweeney197 13 дней назад

Too bad you can't get some pictures of the buildings on rollers. 😉 When I was a young model railroaded and really cheap by need. I used a string of white Christmas lights to light my buildings. When you get the Boot Hill gate and fence rebuilt, I bet that raven will come home. 😉

@Lakeside1943 13 дней назад

I'm in the same phase right now! I have a double deck layout and the upper level has to disappear. I hope to upgrade the lower level. So breaking up is looking forward to the future ! That makes it fun. However, due to old age....I hope......

@sirrliv 13 дней назад

I see no problem with drywall screws. My whole bed frame is held together with drywall screws. In the end, a screw is a screw. Except maybe machine screws, which are just this side of being bolts anyway.

@AndyG13GLA 13 дней назад

I’ll definitely be following this as I’m hoping it gives me the motivation & kick in the butt needed to actually START my Disney diorama with various gauge Disney Trains. I like how you’ve put thought into the construction making it easy for deconstruction too. I doubt I’ll achieve such forethought as a complete novice so here’s hoping these videos give me ideas. Will these be going into any particular “playlist” so that I can follow the new construction process easily?

@mikep95133 10 дней назад

Hi Dave. I'd suggest using an impact driver instead of an electric drill for driving in any kind of screw. They are smaller and lighter than the drill, use the same battery's, and require less physical effort. I only use drywall screws for my projects. Since we both live in AZ where it is so dry, the screws never rust.

@martyhyatt8729 13 дней назад

Dave, what does drywall screws attach to... WOOD! Keep using your drywall screws

@politicsandtrains 7 дней назад

Dry wall screws are great for holding frames together.

@leonarddecant8566 13 дней назад

A battery powered oscillating saw would really help you with some of this removal. For the longest time I couldn’t figure out what to do with one but now it’s one of my favorite tools.

@ThunderMesaStudio 13 дней назад

On my list

@carlosg1165 13 дней назад

Dave Get new bits to stop rounding those screws 😂😂😂😂😂😂😊😊😊keep your videos coming

@larryrogers5996 13 дней назад

I can't wait to see the reconstruction. Don't give into the hatters, my whole layout a 15 x 17 around the room is built with drywall screws and its solid, it won't come apart unless I take it apart.

@70rrsteve51 13 дней назад

I have no patience for hatters.

@dougsundseth6904 13 дней назад

FWIW, I'd call those risers "hangers" instead.

@montemullen2801 13 дней назад

Always happy to see a new video.

@randyrauch8210 13 дней назад

I look forward to each new video. Thanks for sharing!

Drywall screws ftw, aka "duct tape screws."

@sammisworkshops3762 16 дней назад

Nicely done!

@seawuff 13 дней назад

I’m really looking forward to seeing this progress and I’m also excited to see what you get up to when you get distracted.

@SasquatchDanny 13 дней назад

Dave, I like your style!

@Phoenixknight79 13 дней назад

another great video, can't wait to see more of the building.... I would love to build a grave yard diorama but not sure how I should go along to make the stones. I know of a place I can buy some but they are costly as well... would you have any suggestions?

@ThunderMesaStudio 13 дней назад

I printed my own.

@johnschutt9187 13 дней назад

THANK YOU!

@rickvangunten4800 13 дней назад

It's really hard to watch the destruction of such a creative bit of work. But looking forward to watching what you have planned next .......................>
