I'll be willing to bet that since endorsing Woodland Scenics, that you are provided with plenty of products for your videos. After watching quite a few of your videos, I've come to the conclusion that you must be provided with the materials from Woodland Scenics. Stands to reason, mate. However, I like it when you show how to use natural materials that you don't have to purchase. Woodland Scenics materials are somewhat expensive for a retired person on a very fixed income. I've been HO scale model railroading since the 1980's when I was exposed to a model railroad layout at a WWII vet's house when he invited me over to view his layout. I was bitten by the bug back then and it has never left me. Keep up the great videos--you're a natural born teacher and I love your tutorials. Thanks and keep 'em comin'.

Thanks again mate, I do get a limited amount of stuff from them to use, usually the more specialized items like the lights in this video however if I don't like something then I wont make a video using it. An example is their static grass, I avoid using it if I can because it only comes in one length and the colors are not very natural looking. I have some videos coming out very soon using some more frugal materials, I too like making cheap.... sometimes free scenery! I hope you continue to enjoy the videos :) .... I have a cheap palm tree video on the way :) Cheers Luke

You have such a nice hobby - I`m kind of jealous - when I was a child, trainmodels and such stuff was the greatest toys I can think of - love it. I had some "Märklin" trains(the oldest ones of the year ca.1930 from my father) and a few houses and decorations and for Christmas, I was allowed to play with it( we had not that much space in our home to have it there the whole year). Nowadays it`s an expensive hobby - but I love it to watch the setups of different people on KZitem and I hope, I can soon visit the great "Eisenbahnanlage" in the "Speicherstadt" of Hamburg, Germany - one of the most imposant "Modelleisenbahnen" worldwide.

Over the years i have bought surplus fiber optic cables in various diameters, this works very good for the small marker lights on vehicles, truck and aircraft. Or on a passenger ship model, i drilled out the port holes the same size, threaded the optic cables through, applied ca to the inside and cut flush the protruding outside part, bundled the cables to an led light source inside.

I think the biggest error with lighting model buildings is using the wrong colour temp leds. Cool white with typical values of 4000K upwards almost never look good because most buildings in the real world have much warmer colours, 3000K or less.
@BoulderCreekRailroad
8 жыл бұрын
cbcdesign001 I also find it difficult to find suitable LEDs, Woodland Scenics have a pretty good range for color temperatures but as for finding LEDs from the local electronics store its yellow or bright white! I'm thinking about using bright white and adding an opaque color over the top to get the warmer colors. I'll have to do some experimenting. Cheers Luke.

Yeah I reckon that's an awesome feature of those! One of my questions with that system though, is how do you make the wires longer for the light plugs? Is is just a matter of cutting and splicing if you need to add on extra length say for instance if you have a light over the other side of the layout?
@BoulderCreekRailroad
8 жыл бұрын
+TheMisterdan01 You can buy extension cables from Woodland Scenics to lengthen the wire or you could splice in your own extension, It wouldn't be to difficult.
