Model Railroader 2025 Calendar

This and the other film clips on MRVP are from the DVD that was made on this layout. I often watch it for modelling inspiration, although it is HO scale I can still apply the methods from this and his books to my N scale Southern California layout. I used to model HO but you can get a great deal more N scale in a 30 feet by 10 feet layout room, hence the switch. The thing is, American trains are long, very long, so, you need a lot of space to model these realistically, even in this film clip we see the train at full length in the same scene, but in N scale, this is not the case! Now my 10 HO loco's weathered by Pelle sit in a display cabinet but thanks to his weathering books by Kalmbach, I am getting the same weathering effects on my N loco's and freight stock, just stick to his techniques strictly and you can too. Looking forward to his next Midwest layout project and books. Thanks for all the inspiration Pelle ! 🙂
Given the clip's title, I also thought this video was going to showcase structure rooftops. Nonetheless Pelle has done a super job, as always.
Master modeller at work. There is only one thing better than a Pelle Søeborg video, and that's a Pelle Søeborg video in HD!
Very nice.
For older cars (30s, 40s, 50s) that had painted galvanized roofs, try a silver Sharpie to simulate paint that has peeled and exposed the galvanized steel.
And I thought we were going to get a demo of how the roofs of his structures were done, not what he did to car tops (roofs). All in all, a very well done job, and enough power on the train to get it past the camera.
Pelle is tops! I always enjoy seeing his latest work.
