This week, I decided to revisit and make some additions to my desert train set. I gave the train a new coat of paint, added a mining camp, and filled the town with tiny people.

what if you built a custom mine in the corner that the train sits?

@ImaginaryPerson1138 Год назад

I just had an idea for another train layout: have a dual train heist with two trains travelling next to each other (or a train and one of those hand cranked carts), where the trains move on two separate tracks but are timed to travel next to each other for a section of the tracks, with little cowboys shooting at each other :)

I really love the desert and monument valley feel for most of these builds, but I’d live to see a more winter-themed train build at some point. I love the idea of a train in the high mountains with settlers wearing layers of clothing to keep warm. Maybe also some winter-themed beast like a Yeti or a oversjzed mountain goat

@akmayernick3722 Год назад

It's a not even a monster, just a really big goat. Everyone just kinda shrugs 'cause, hey, at least it's not eating people!

@crispyjuice2110 Год назад

Any kind of winter themed build would be awesome. So much potential! Great colors, awesome trees and environments with ice/snow, little figures wearing coats, and even cool monsters if you want to go that route

@robp7526 Год назад

to give it a real feeling of a mining town you should build several tents outside the mine entrances and also add a water feature. next to the water feature, you could also add a cloth's line with several pairs of long johns drying in the sun.

@ExplosiveDisregard Год назад

Every time I see a new addition I think how cool it would be to see the Dimension 20 crew play a game in these environments.

@gravelsasquatch6430 Год назад

The town just keeps on getting better. Some type of pulley system for the ore would be cool to add. Maybe some waste rock piles from the mines, or a few wild burrows. Thanks for bringing us along on all your builds.

@hobbyistsjourney Год назад

Love the update to this build. I 100% agree with adding the mining outpost at the bottom. It felt empty and a little strange to have a train drive in that area with nothing to interact it

@robbiehardy3228 Год назад

I liked the original video a lot, so I was really excited to see you revisit it. I think it's really cool that you came back to an otherwise finished project to add more elements to it. It's fun to see that the only time you're done with a project like this is when you decide to be. Thanks for the awesome video, these are a big reason why I look forward to Sundays!

@Oatfilms Год назад

@street_hobo Год назад

I think making something out of the interior of the tunnel would be really cool. Maybe connecting it to the mines and adding some ores would be a neat detail

@street_hobo Год назад

Also you have a lot of empty space next to the town, maybe a tiny farm with some animals would also work well?

@bmarshy Год назад

I think it would be great to see all of your Wild Imaginary West build combined together to show the scale of your project so far. For example, you could lay all the town buildings out together to form the centre of the universe, off in the distance you could have this canyon (the distance being the reason the scale is smaller relative to the other dioramas), alongside the town could be the river where the ferry boats are sailing over the huge monsters, and on the far side of the river could be the wilderness builds. Maybe a video idea for the new year perhaps? (Just be careful if you do decide to try this and lay them all out together please don't break any).

@riseandgrind9299 Год назад

@themanwhowouldbebrick Год назад

@jwharris417 Год назад

I didn’t notice it the first time but I really like that you put the church on that pillar that looks a little too small for the building and the townspeople have to walk across those narrow boards to get to it. Nobody in their right mind would have built a church in a place like that in real life, but it kind of implies a faith that these people deliberately built their church in such a perilous place. Excellent detail, even if that wasn’t your intention.

@lechking941 Год назад

@Simple Barghest in short it was GOD who saved it.

@coolkumquats Год назад

I like the idea that they built the church there as a literal sanctuary from whatever horrors lurk in the desert. When something unspeakable comes prowling through, the townsfolk can take refuge in the church and pull up the boards connecting it to the rest of the town so the monsters can't reach them.

@oculusangelicus8978 Год назад

If you have a problem with the train always stopping at certain spots, you need to clean the tracks. You can do this by using one of those old school erasers that have a tiny bit of grit in them. This will remove the oxidation from the track, and your train will run good again. You can also use steel wool to lean off the oxidation but the steel wool will likely leave a mess behind that you 2ill definitely want to vacuum off as it can really play havoc with the electrical parts of the engine. There are also dedicated cleaners sold in most train hobby stores. But those blue abrasive erasers that were meant for removing ink, Are the best for cleaning the tracks. Sometimes you also need to clean the wheels of the engine as well but just keep in mind that the blue erasers also leave grit behind so a vacuum is always best to keep it under control. I love this diorama and I'm glad you kept it and are updating it! Keep up the fantastic work!

@z1wench Год назад

My suggestion for another train build would be to make one that fits the main town. It would fit seeing as how the town has a few notable expansions such as a Pinkerton outpost and a big top. Also, to add to the monster catalog a coyote man would be fun.

@SouRwy4501Productions Год назад

I love that layout! I do have one little suggestion. Do you think you could put both engines on the front? This might make it a little more realistic than having a locomotive on the back. Doubleheaders were very common in the days of steam. You wouldn’t see steam locomotives running mirrored on both ends of the train.

Absolutely fantibbillytastic. Now, to add a tiny bit of menace to the scene, try placing a giant scorpion somewhere above the track as if it were ready to pounce. Maybe a giant centipede half buried in the earth next to the track. Then there is the humor aspect of a pair of figures outfitted as the sheriff and deputy from 'Blazing Saddles" approaching the town as an homage to Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder.
