I've been meaning to replace a single track bridge on the layout for a while now since it's had structural issues. I also wanted to add a secondary track to allow for two separate lines of operation. I'm overall happy with the results.
I really appreciate hearing that, I try my best to be honest about when I make a mistake while working on something or when I'm happy with the results.
"My foreman just arrived to approve the site". That's CLASSIC!!! I feel so connected with you right now, as I have my supervisor Creamsicle checking the progress of my model work all the time!!!
One time back in 1985, I needed a plate girder deck bridge, maybe 35 scale feet long. I didn't want to wait for six months for my local hobby shop to build up an order for Walthers before I would see it, so I found a damaged Union Pacific gondola, and I painted it black, and built some abutments on each side, and I laid my tracks across what was once the bottom of that gondola, and ballasted it in place. I think I put some milepost numbers on the edge of it, and I had my bridge.
Some good changes to your track work. That’s the evolution of a layout due to your experiences and increasing knowledge. I really enjoyed watching you do this renovation. Thanks for sharing!
Modificando tu maqueta escala HO. Yo modifiqué mi maqueta escala N. Puse una curva 93/4" de radio marca Life Like. Me salió mal la curva uniendo 2 vías flexibles, fue mala idea, debería comprar curvas 93/4" y rectas 5 " Atlas, paquete de 6.
Well… i never wondered how neanderthals would handle train model layouts… Now I know anyway… Love your enthusiasm. But ditch the caveman/sledgehammer approach.
Hi there,I think the high sided single bridge should go and remove that track and put the high sided bridge where the single black bridge is from the freight yard, it will look a lot better,
Hey smt mainlines do you still have that creepy 1950s steam locomotive that you got from a store from a few day’s ago can you make a restore video out of it please please
Cool layout. What is size dimensions of your layout? From the lamp to the mountain on the other side. I want to build a layout. But I am trying to determine a good length & width to go with.
This will be a big change to the layout, but I have a feeling it's really going to make a big difference and most of all it may look better for the future!
Honestly, although I do personally think that uk locomotives are more beautiful and better in design, you have helped me see american locomotives in a new light and see the beauty in their own style. I thank you.
How much time did this project take you? Something like this seems like it would be a daunting task, but you just got in there and crushed it. Very cool video!
Those pesky rogue rail joiners... Superb track laying Harrison, and a bridge that's built to withstand any tornado or hurricane known to cat. Even the foreman, Nerf Cat, approves. Nice that you chose the BNSF Dash 9 for the test run. Thanks for sharing. 👍🐾👍
Your chairman seems to be pleased with your efforts. Or, not. He might have ulterior motives. You are, after all, a lower level employee. You’re the treat provider and source of entertainment.
I'm glad you're making your layout a proper double-track circuit. That Hiawatha siding and farm will probably have to be sacrificed in the process. I think that one corner should just be single track and end that other curved track just before the crossing.
Lol the first thing I thought when I saw the cat is, oh my God a gigantic cat is attacking the city! Question what do you think about the miniature world in Munich Germany and do you have any plans of visiting it?
Great video. This was the first video I've watched that covered adjusting previously completed lines in a layout. It was nice to see that it would be easier than I originally thought.
GOOD. I hope you give your sister half of it, My TRAIN club can not make up there mind about SALE TRAINS coming to are train club and going to NCE, and me running to many locomotives at one time 7 Dummies and 6 power units, and crying over spell milk, I was talking to anther person about him he herd it, he back said that's not true, It was true, the person said he did not know what we were talking about. I ask about do want to go to NCE, WE were talking about the NCE, AND WERE and HOW he has spot on track he park his train no one else can just him, I did a video were his spot is at, HE should put his name on it track only he can park there,
I was taught to not solder rail joiners because the rails expand and contract in different seasons and it can cause issues especially when it expands after being soldered
HAY, How it's going, Are you using my stuff I set you I hope it will help you out. was that candy still good? How did your sister like that box, Wait to your next box come's from MEGAN. You can blame it on DANEILLE and ANNA Those two girls,
I love how a layout can constantly evolve if you let it. Some people get set into a hard plan and stick to it no matter what, but adapting a layout over time is part of the fun to me. Want to run steam? Let's put in a roundhouse, coaling station, and water tower. Diesel? A diesel servicing area. Different industries for different freight cars; boxcars, hopper cars, tank cars, auto loaders, double stack container cars... It's hard to fit into a personal layout, but the elegance of a large passenger station with 10+ platforms is a beautiful thing to see; especially if you have the trains operating through it. Change, adapt, and then do it again.
Absolutely, I'm not against planning but if it prevents you from doing anything that's counter productive. The point of a hobby is enjoyment and this layout does just that
