When the train passed the crosssing 3 times, every time, there are "new" cars waiting. Like that kind of detail to get the video entertaining. Nice layout too.
Although I'm a Union Pacific fan and model the railroad in HO Scale, I enjoy your videos and notice we have the same interest in modeling industries. Keep the videos coming!!! Good 👍 video....
Thank you so much! UP has trackage rights on the layout so I have an excuse to run my UP locomotives! Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks again for the kind words.
Awesome video, as usual. I love the complex switching part of your layout with the crossover near the team track area, that section of your layout is my favorite, great job on the video, and thank you for sharing it with us. Dave B.
That is a great layout. The detail is so nice & realistic. Great Video for would be layout enthusiasts to watch including myself in Australia in terms of a USA layout, nice...
Love your op vids...slow, prototypical speeds on a great looking layout! Lots of great details too like the little hedge in front of the office at 13:25!
Very smooth. But two operating questions. First, what moves the turnouts - under-table machine or under-table manual control? Second, what do you use to uncouple? Sharp bamboo stick, a manufactured stick or magnets on a stick, other? Do you ever uncouple early, offset the heads and then push cars to the final spot?
Thanks Roger! As far as switch control, everything on the mainline has switch motors mainly because the mainline is CTC controlled by the dispatcher. All switches on the branchline are hand throw. The only exception is the switch from the mainline to the branch has a switch machine. To uncouple the cars I just use a sharp skewer. Thanks for the questions!
Great video! The first one I've watched. Could you provide an image or link to your track plan? Id like to get a sense of the entire layout. Do you have a list of "beyond the layout" industries you service? Thx in advance for your assistance.
Nice ops session :) And I have a couple of questions: 1.) Is that switch stand at 2:23 in front of the figure real or fake? 2.) I can't remember if I've asked this one before but, where did you get that switch stand?
@@milepost33 Thanks for telling me where you got the switch stand. Also, I didn't ask the first question properly; what I meant to ask was: Is the switch stand attached to the switch itself or is it not attached and just there for show?
