The Blaxland Backshops - How I made Blaxland #1 'Alex' [PILOT]

Welcome to the Blaxland Backshops, where I'll be discussing and going through the build process for custom model trains I create.

"Alex" is the Blaxland Ridge's #1. here's how I made him.

I have wanted to gear my channel towards my models forever now, but haven't had the motivation to make videos. I don't plan on making videos frequently, but when I do, here's what to expect.

Enjoy!

If the fictional railroad and model is a love letter to 1800’s railroading then this video is a love letter to custom work and model railroading. Unbelievable production value. This video raises the bar in so many ways. Loved loved loved the photos of him at the show. That was amazing.

Also shoutout to the Richard voice cameo during the tender in bathroom cup scene. And also shoutout to that Arbour kit lmao.

You have inspired me to build a custom Bachman 4-4-0 love your work

[JackWasntGone]

Phenomenal Presentation Alex. Really loved how you presented the history of no.1 with a touch of humor. Definitely will be looking forward to more videos like this!

[varrunningtrains]

[NWRJ_WStudios]

[SkarloeyBoi]

Not only does this model go so hard, but this video is equally well produced! Better then most my videos lmao

Excellent work Alex!

[otakurailfan]

Loved watching this dude! Fantastic model

[paulmishler]

This video is excellent, I will probably be doing something similar to this in the future with my bachmann 4-4-0 as well. Though I will model it as a locomotive from the early 1860's.

[warbabyproductions]

Amazing video Alex ! I don’t even know where to start explaining on how good this video is lol

[KurtisHooey]

Very professional Alex. Both the model and the video. Your going places

[WesternOhioInterurbanHistory]

The first version you made was much better than anything I could do. You have real talent in modeling, and this video had inspired me to modify and work on my IHB 0-8-0

[geepstudios]

Alex, this was an amazing video. It was relaxing, but it constantly kept me engaged. I can't wait to see the next installment in this series.

Glad my 4-4-0 Wolf I commissioned from Quintin inspired part of your locomotive! I'm planning on making an upgraded version of my Wolf myself, I also made a 3d model version on blender for a game I may or may not put it in. I absolutely loved the white walls and I want to put them into my new version

[Beoxbts]

Good Stuff! Just sparked another interest in modeling for me!

[Shortline]

I don't know why it took so long for me to watch this video.

Alex, this is amazing. This is why I consider you the best modeler I know. Can't wait to see more.

[lackawannarailfan]

I loved this video! Seeing the progress, ups and downs of the project is really interesting. You did an amazing job on it!
