that alco unit squeeks like a stuck pig !!! how can you keep her on the track like that ? obviously a rookie mistake or just plain, ol' dumb !!! c'mon, chris, i cannot believe you didn't bitch at the operator about this !!! must be either too many or not enough water towers !!!
hey, chris !!! am coffee and dave primeaus' videos, again, as they are done so well !!! chris, one quick question... was dave by any chance an engineer in real life ? having worked in the mechanical/civil engineering profession for over 33 years, it appears to me dave has that professional engineer disposition i readily saw in my fellow engineers before i retired.... very exacting and precise mannerisms, which we see in his layout as well. please respond, as i sent the message below to you over a month ago and have been hoping you are ok. i will run BISI1 in your honor tonight, right before i watch hockey night in canada ( i am 35 miles directly south of buffalo and have been watching hcn out of TO since the mid 60's by way of an old fashioned antenna !!) and hopefully see the oilers hammer florida !!! blessings to you, chris and we hope you are doing well !!! ps... is it just me or does it seem rather crazy a teal from florida (ugh !!!) should be playing a canadian team ??? lets go oilers !!! oilers in 5 !!!
John, I enjoyed our railfan excursion through Southwestern Pennsylvania with you and Roy yesterday !! Today, I stumbled upon your videos of your beautiful layout!! Very impressive!! Thanks for letting me tag along!! Bob
That is so cool that you can mostly just play now. I know you have more to scenic, and they say that they are never done, but again having as much finished as you do you can just run your trains. Love it! Beautiful job!
I am attempting to learn your backdrop painting technique. I have done a couple of practices. How can I contact you? I would like to show what have done and get advice.
hello chris !!! i am SO happy you are back on youtube !!! i am a big fan of yours for years now and just finished both john mitchells and dave primeaus programs you did for about the tenth time !!! btw, how is mike hamer doing ? the videos you did with him on planning/working rr ops was great, too !!! hope all is well and i am going to catch up on your videos !!! btw, are you still pickin' at your guitar ??? blessings to you, chris and welcome back !!!
Another great video by CNLVN! Thanks! I hope all is well. 👍 I forgot, do you still have your layout up? I really liked it. I took down mine two years ago but slowly making another one at my new house. :)
Great layout but I'll just mute it when you start the HO DCC sound. I'm just not a fan of sound in HO scale as it sounds way too tinny and so very unrealistic; maybe one day they will improve the sound. Cheers from a DC guy in eastern TN
Schnazzy video....would have been nice with the lights on and beacons flashing. Those Overland Models Inc. are detailed to the max. I like mine...just don't have a C-415. Looks like a nice layout. Thanks for the visit.
How do you do the pine trees? Also I will be painting on a darker brown background any suggestions I am going to work on sky first then down to the brown. I had that can so I covered up some spots on the basement wall that were blue. Should I paint that brown blue again or what colors do you suggest for a mountain scene like you are doing here. I am going to try my hand at it. I am pretty talented! 🙂
Very cool! I been thinking about your videos lately and how much they inspired me. I appreciate all the time you have put in over the years! Happy Holidays to you! -Justin
Painted detail parts. With a good supply of finished product it gives me freedom when I do dioramas. I enjoy them very much and and it is a good way to progress toward any future project.
I am not sure the opportunities will arise. The Mrr community is strong here but there are not many ops sessions nor home based social gatherings. Life also gets in the way as I have broadened my personal interests to out door activities and guitar.
Hmm That would make great scene on a layout. Long curved yard tracks. Double track main. Beautiful black and orange locomotives. Industrial center nearby……..
A unit train, also called a block train or a trainload service, is a train in which all cars carry the same commodity and are shipped from the same origin to the same destination, without being split up or stored en route
thx for specifying. Wouldnt have come to that clue on my own. We also have a term for that which could be translated like complete train. Not such a term of its own and also not really covering all aspects though intended to do so. So then: every day is a train day. Take care!
I love the detail of these layouts you could live in them!!! When did you start building this one? It's either a full time endeavor or you started when you were 12 years old.
