I am guessing that you are not a fan of Myfordboy? I am curious as to why? I am not trained in the arts that he does. As I said i also don't watch him much, prefer those that speak more. But I am curious as to why you don't like him.
For bending pipe I've always heard of filling with sand capping both ends and bending. I have not used this though on small pipe below about 1 inch myself, so I can't day how it would work although I've no reason to suspect it would not.

Oh nice. Besides trying to build live steam, eventual goal 7.5 inch. I do HO based on South East PA. Reading and Pennsylvania Railroad. This is a 12x32 layout. I f u had more folding money and room i would love to do Proto 48 O scale. I think that is so neat and full of detail.

Wonderful read. I really enjoyed your write up and glad you kept going with this and not stopped this thread early on.
What is the story with the Boston and Maine O scale car? Do you have a layout? I build HO trains but do Lionel at Christmas.

What about Keith Appleton. I enjoy his model engineering videos a lot. I guess that is why I still like Tubal Cain because that is one of his focus. Most of those other guys that you mention that I am familiar with rarely dabble with true model engineering as I like it.
I like MyFordBoy but really wish he would talk in his videos. There are times i would like more explanation than what he does with the sub titles. There fore i don't watch him as much as others.
