youtube page dedicated to my home layout name after my mom and the train shows from Northeast Corridor Historical society and Burlington County Model Railroad Club. i also do Railfanning from different places as I am a truck driver. facebook.com/keith.paysinger.1
@jamesdenny4734 I been collecting the locos and cars over the years. Their made from a company called Bradford Exchange but their all over Ebay right now
@HadwayLayout my club members love this train. At actual shows it becomes 50/50. Lol this club is in NJ. We have open house events coming up soon but if you wanna visit earlier. Google: Burlington County Model Railroad Club in NJ
Nice but as an ex-employee of US Steel Fairless Works in Pennsylvania and spending 2 years in their Coke Works (back in the 70's) I have to ask - how do you get the coke out of the ovens? No door cars, no hot car, no pusher ram, no wharf for the quenched coke to be dumped on, etc. It's the big cardinal sin I see of every other model (regardless of scale) that models a steel mill. Modeler's license - I get that but when you have US Steel on the structures then it gripes me no end. Someone needs to get a hold of the 'Making, Shaping and Treating of Steel' book that US Steel put out if you're at all serious about modeling a steel plant.
@musicman8942 Dear sir, While your observations may technically be correct, the limitations the club has on space only allows for certain items to have been originally built. You are more than welcome to visit the club during an open house and make observations in person, but we believe that you will find that in the space allotted for the steel, we have done the best we could to "represent"what a steel mill would look like and does. Additionally, if you have a copy of the book from US steel that you referenced, we would be happy to look it over and make modifications. We appreciate you watching our layout video and specifically the steelmill portion of it. we will strive as always to do better in the future.
@@caprailroad I have a copy but am not willing to part with it. The one I have was my late father's - he worked in the blast furnace section. What I'm talking about wouldn't take up all that much more space but would add to authenticity of the layout. Like I said it's one of those things that every layout I have ever seen that does steel and has coke works misses. Heck even Walthers misses it in their coke oven battery kit.
Steel is a hard one in HO. Mainly because buildings are very complex and detailed but most of all because of the space it needs to get close to scale. I respect ALL the work that has been done here. Some structures look fantastic and nicely weathered. Especially electric furnace, rolling mill AND bridge crane. Not a fan of thin background building but yours are come up very nicely. Thanks for sharing. Must be very busy OPS on your layout. Keep on your good work.
So this video got you a new follow. I just stumbled across your channel, and I love this video and here is why: My preferred model train is my Virginia and Truckee's Lightning Express, from the 1880s. It boasted a complete trip from San Francisco to Virginia City in 16 hours, with one change over in Reno! You'd have dinner in Virginia City and breakfast in San Francisco! Eventually I want to get into Free-mo set ups, and when I do, I hope we can meet up someday and have my 19th century wood burner pulled up next to your space-aged high speed Amtrak train for some photos.
where are you from? i do alot of shows across the northeast of america. this video is a older one. as of recently i have my train station (15ft long) which can accomdate a 10 car train up against the platforms on either mainline. if you want. find me on FB (Keith Paysinger) say your from here and we can possible have you meetup at a show and run on our mailines with your V&T Express. yes it dont fit our era we model but sunday shows we kinda run whatever we want.
hey. Yes, it a modular layout that get setup at show in the Northeast. I'm part of the NorthEast Corridor Historical Society (NECHS). the catenary is hand build is made out of a combination of N scale track and solid core wire. Find the group on FB and ask question in there. we will sure help answer all questions. just say I sent you.
@@caprailroad I'm looking to proto freelance. I'd like to make it run trains as well as have a decent amount of switching possible. I've got two younger boys that are getting older and they're showing interest. I've loved model trains my whole life. I would definitely be sharing I'm looking to start possibly this fall.
So the overhead wires I didnt build but I know they are built for when I do my station. The main wire is actually N scale rail with solid core copper wire as the messenger wires. Some poles are 3d printed and some are are copper H bars that were cut and shape into the poles we have now.
Some awesome Trains Keith! The Reading & Northern hoppers were nice to see! Espcially the LV heritage Unit leading that train. Walking the stringline tight rope😂. Thanks for sharing!
What was the total number of cars? Be nice for model railroaders to actually be able to do distributed power, but since most model layouts have little or no elevation gain the difference is probably less.
@Raptorman0909 I usually run a rear DPU to climb the grade and prevent string lining. But this was I want to see how she will do all the power up front. The consist with 4 heritage units, 41 cars. The consist with 2 units was about 33 cars. Their was a mix manifest I didn't get shots of with about 50
Ooh cool you modeled grays ferry! That area always fascinated me when I use to explore google earth I at one point wanted to model it myself but I ended up modeling East Tennessee
@@caprailroad I apologize. 😔 The photography is good. Is this a club RR? Or just a very large setup? My late husband had an 0 gauge set very young and introduced me to it after we got married. We had a large HO setup for quite a while but had to take it down. We rode the Empire Builder from St Cloud, MN to Whitefish MT and if was great. Any trips we took involved looking for old stations, different types of cars and taking lots of photos. I have 2 nephews working for RR out of Duluth and Superior as engineers with CN.
@adelechicken6356 that awesome. If your ever in the northeast of usa. I know a few clubs you can visit that you highly enjoy. No need to apologize. This short is from a bigger video that is uploading and releasing tomorrow morning. My club, Northeast Corridor Historical Society, did a joint partner layout with Capital Free-Mo. This shot is me heading towards their return loop to spin around. Look on my page tomorrow mornimg for the full video.
Glad to see a young person get involved with this part of the hobby! I started this more than 60 yrs ago and my thirst led me to wood construction and electronics, eventually electrical transmission and distribution. Even got a hand in arts, crafts and landscaping. It's not play, model railroading is career building! Keep them rails a rolling! 😂❤❤❤
These were the regionals coming in from the south. One started in Norfolk Va and the other started in Roanoke Va. Their also the first trains to leave out at the crack of dawn too.
@@caprailroad The Lakeshore Limited WB from Boston passes through there too. A fairly long one does back in every night, before midnight, from the south.
@413TomaccoRoad the boston section of the LSL is hard for me to catch cause like you said. Either later at night or middle of the day if going west. Now i just catch that section of the LSL on virtual railfan camera.
