Welcome to my channel. My name is Justin and I have long been a train enthusiast, including both real and model railroading. I enjoy filming and photographing trains as a hobby as well as building and collecting HO Scale model trains. Here is my ever-growing collection of train videos of both real trains and of my HO Scale model railroad, a work in progress. I enjoy doing these videos as a hobby and sharing with others, hence the reason for this channel, so enjoy my work, subscribe if you like what you see! Thanks!
@@jimthomefan50025 LOL, actually I didn't run any reds. The one Interlocking has two sets of signals, each on a different route so the ones that are red would be the separate route from what the train was on. No PTC on this layout so I could run a red and keep going lol. My camera car might distort some of the colors too since I am using an old cell phone and a mirror mounted into a well car. It works until I can budget a better camera car.
Cool angle of Fostoria, I've spent so much time there finding a new angle is always a challenge. With the quality its very hard to pinpoint which unit this was. My best guess would be from Possibly tanks from Ohio Army National Guard, 1st Battalion, 145th Armored Regiment; attached to 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team; 34th Infantry Division of Minnesota Army National Guard heading to a training rotation. PA ANG had tanks at the time but they were deployed to Afghanistan & used armored humvee's instead of tanks. I thought possibly US Marine Reserve from Fort Knox, KY but they were deployed as well.
This is the only video I can find where any locomotive except the 7000 A-unit is pulling a train, it looks like they brought out all the stops for the last ride and had all the motive power they had operational hooked up and running….really cool to see. Personally the EMD GP based low-hood unit is my favorite of their locomotives, to me it’s just the most realistic looking and totally different from the others. Thank you for sharing this!!
To be honest, I think that was the only time I saw it running as well. There was one time they had their switcher Loco running on the summer rides but I didn't get any footage of that. I kinda took for granted this train would be around forever. Sadly this last ride closed before I had a chance to bring my kids here. My oldest was only 3 when I took this video and rode this ride as well. I also have more videos from that summer including some switching in the yard. Check them out on my channel.
I like it, but it needs a little something more: railcar sounds. Flat spot thumps, wheel squeal, coupler slack, stuff like that... independent from the locomotive. If O scale guys can have it, why not the HO scale guys?
@@sort187 yes, I plan to do 2 or 3 levels. The level you see in this video is my staging yard. Since the layout is long and narrow, that opens up long straightaways for a nice staging yard. Once I get it built my yard will be about 16ft long and 7 to 8 tracks wide.
