Homemade wood stains for model railroading
I made this video way back in 2014. I first made and started using these stains in 2008. This video contains insights into how experienced wood modelers make a stronger stain to be able to work faster.
Warning, these recipes are used actively by me in my work. They do require some practice to make sure you know how they will affect your modeling. Personal experimentation with these solutions are a requirement, especially for newer modelers.

Old Wooden bridge crane
This topic is a question. Have any of you modeled a wooden bridge crane?
The type of crane I'm refering to is an interior crane the travels the length of the building. Bridge cranes have been made of steel plates either riveted or welded together.
Here's the real point of my question...I loaded a piece of machinery from under a wooden bridge crane outside of Detroit. In an old Ford Auto Plant warehouse. The building and crane were probably 100 yrs old.
