Next Sunday is part 3 for the X-Southern Pacific SD9 Conversion. Should be around 5 to 6 parts I think. Then there will be a "BIG" layout update with loads of pics & video. Following the update there is another custom (Rapido) locomotive build that many have been patient to see as well. It should cover decoder install, some assembly and weathering. Cheers.

The Finale Episode of 2025 is the "Water Tower" build and paint this Sunday (12/28/2025). The water tower primarily completes the farm scene on section three. Many other details will be added to the farm scene as River Road and Section Three continues to develop and grow into 2026.
Happy New Year and thank you to all the loyal subscribers of 'Boomer Diorama.' ~ Cheers!

There is a new Playlist under the Home Page that covers the building of 'Glover Road' the very first layout which started the channel. There are over 200 videos to watch all for free at your leisure!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

After the New Year (2026), I plan to plug into some custom locomotive builds, rolling stock, etc.

For those that are not aware, (as most are of course), this channel is about the full experience of modeling a short line railroad - the journey with all the variances that we all share in the same way while gleaning all the same rewards.

Providing content on a consistent basis is incredibly difficult if I don't stick to the plan. Most understand this which I am grateful for. Cheers ~ Boomer.

Some one requested a video about my work bench. It is simpler than you think just under section two on the layout. See here in this video. Cheers.

River Railway Layout & Content Update December 2025.

A few more scenery episodes to close out the Milner Farm Area. Hopefully I will also publish the Old Stud Barn Build as well before the new year. After this, the "Water Tower" build and a few other goodies.

Note: The barn build episode is quite extensive (one hour long) as I think it is worth it.

In the new year, I will be doing a few custom locomotive builds involving weathering tips as well as I poke away on section three and beyond . . .

Cheers ~ Boomer.

It's nice to have some of the layout done so while I work on the layout, I can operate a little as well on section one.
Cheers. (11/20/2025).

Are you tired of Model Railroad Podcast's that go on-and-on about stuff other than the model railroad? Have you ever wondered what a Podcast is like where all they talk about is actual modeling layouts - their experience, loads of photos and video of their layouts, and why and how they do it?

Check out Train Talk Media @ Youtube. Feel free to Support and Subscribe to the channel as it is turning out to be a fantastic Model Railroad Podcast.
Cheers ~ Boomer.
