Hi there! Welcome to the Marias Pass HO Scale Layout. My name is Cam. I'm a grad student who has loved trains and model railroading my whole life, and this channel aims to share that passion with you. Previously known as the Plains Division, which focused on helper operations over Crawford Hill, the layout has been rebranded and remodeled after the western grade of Marias Pass between Whitefish, MT and Marias summit. ---Layout Specs--- Double-deck, no helix design Average grade: 1.1% Max. grade: 2.6% Mainline Run: about 200' Min. Radius: 26" Height: 38" to 66" Control System: Digitrax
This is acually helpful I tried consisting my ho scale southern pacific u28c witch my southern pacific ac6000 at SVL They never ran properly My brother said both locomotives were from different eras in time They acually had to be the same brand of locomotives my u boat was from atlas and the ac6000 was from broadway limited imports Each brand has different decoders and different speeds Some go faster than others while some go slower than others
I already tunnel portals from Woodland Scenics, so I will simply use them as a template. I would never have thought of that before. How did you paint the interior of the tunnels ? Are they simply bare rock ? Or are they lined with brick, or cut stone, or concrete ?
You are super good with this video, super timing. I'm doing 25 tunnel portals for my layout, gradually getting simpler and simpler as enthusiasm is being tested to the limit. Card is a very good medium, and I feel much overlooked
If you're getting tired of the tunnel portals, work on another project and go back to the tunnel portals when inspiration strikes again for them. Model railroading is supposed to be fun after all.
Hi Railfan220 & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Railfan220 & Friends Randy & Super Cool Video & Super Cool Tunnels Thanks Railfan220 & Randy
Great Video. I am always interested in cheap easy methods. Although I don't need any more tunnel portals I am sure I will be able to use your plaster over cardboard method for walls etc elsewhere. Thanks for posting.😀
