Follow along as he walks through the working limits and shares his valuable insights in the process!

  1. These have been very helpful! I just completed Berkshire Valley’s HO scale farm wagon, and their Amish buggy is on the workbench. I bought a pair of mules to pull the wagon and a horse for the buggy. I’m eager to see how you paint the equines!

  2. At first the site was having me log in every time. Now everything seems to be O.K. I love the delivery wagon and fore sure will be getting on for my layout!

    Thanks David.

  3. Since the site update I constantly get
    “This video cannot be played because of a technical error.
    (Error Code: 102006)”
    three or four times before the video finally plays.
    This happens on every video.

    1. Hi, Ken — I saw your comment while checking the Trains News Wire portion of the site. I’ve sent an email to the appropriate video and MR staffers to make sure they are aware of the issue. Hopefully someone will be able to assist you quickly. — David Lassen, Trains Magazine

  4. Terrific episodes, David. I’ve been staring at MY Mercantile wagon kit for a while now, and your videos have given me the impetus to take it on. Bravo!
