MASSIVE LAYOUT!! Kansas City Southern HO Scale Model Railroad Tour 

Hi John, I live in Owasso, does Steve allow visitors?

@@datkinsify I would think so but it's best if you go to his site and ask him.

Glad you like it!

Thank you very much!

I’d LOVE to see your A&M model! One of the most scenic and unique RR’s I’ve seen. Are you going to run the Alco’s or the more modern EMD’s they are running now? I didn’t do justice to Ft. Smith in my model. I did use actual buildings on the route but used a lot of “modeler’s license’ an omitted a LOT. The majority of the towns I modeled on the KCS 3rd sub are accurate track😊-by-track to the 1982 track charts (I’m modeling 1982.)

@@TTownTrainFan I’m still gathering stuff. I’ve got a bunch of Alcos and 4 of the EMDs. I think I’ve got the right amount of engines. Even have some old GPs for the Fort Smith Railroad. Going to paint them the correct colors. I’ve got A&M decals. I’m going to try and model, in HO scale, from downtown FS, thru downtown Van Buren. The rail yard in VB and Alcoa sand in VB. Then going to wind it up thru a bunch of hills, trestles, towns, the Winslow tunnel. Downtown Springdale, then into downtown Rogers. Going to try and hit up a bunch of industries along the way so there can be switching and all that fun stuff. Then have it circle back around and head back. I e got a large unfinished basement where I should have enough room to make it all. I’ve got most of the lumber as well. Next thing to find is time. Also going to hopefully automate it as well. DCC on everything. I guess the only I don’t have yet, is the electronics. I’m hoping in the next few years that stuff will get smaller and maybe more use of Bluetooth.

@@TTownTrainFan I forgot to say how awesome your layout is. I hope to have something as beautiful as what you’ve built. I love the way it’s all routes thru the room. That’s what I’ll have to do as well. Great work!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Many thanks!

Thanks Bob 👍

Yes thank you Steve! You introduced some new people to model railroading, and to my web site!

They identify the different railroad districts and yards for control of the rail cars and switches.

Thanks for the info, and thanks for watching.

It is several kits “kitbashed”: parts of Walthers’ “Glacier Gravel Company” plus “Medusa Cement” plus some separate conveyor kits and other things. Some of the structures and bridges are completely scratch built. The piles of limestone etc. are just carved foam with limestone colored ballast glued to them.

33” minimum on the mainline.

Thanks, I fixed it in the discription also. Please Subscribe to Steve Davis RU-vid Channel.

Thanks for watching. The music is free, if you would like to donate to my channel, I would be more than happy to buy better music.

Interesting comment. Should I have just painted this buildings in instead of using the background buildings?

There's nothing cheap about this layout.

I did, its called the iPhone.

Next video I will show the operation, thanks for watching my boring video.

Noted!
