APOLOGIES FOR THE BELL! I know it gets tedious! Lesson learned!
In this video, we going to conduct an operating session on my shelf layout, The Grunge. This video will show essentially the entire session, including all the moves, at prototypical speeds. Shorter highlight video here: • HIGHLIGHTS! - Small La...
For many of my viewers, prototypical operations is the goal of building a layout. I my first ops video for The Grunge, I showed that you don't need to have a completed layout to have a satisfying op session.
Since that last operations video, there's been some additional work on the Grunge layout, including the construction of the Tenement house, the addition of the Smith Sign Company building, and the installation of some scenery. So let's have some fun while showing off the new additions.

I spent 38 years as a locomotive engineer. If I had let the bell ring like that the conductor would have climbed into the cab and ripped the ringer control out of the control stand! You need it for the street and maybe when beginning a move....that's it

Hi everyone. I’ve gotten a number of comments/complaints about the bell in this video. Sorry about that! So if the bell bothers you, consider muting the sound and putting captions on. I posted a shorter “highlight” video where the volume is considerably lower.

It's fun watching you switch on the unfinished layout. May I suggest the grass along the track under the building will get less sunlight, this could be reflected in its lushness. Nicely weatherd rolling stock, so subtle.

@mikedurhan9941
@mikedurhan9941 3 месяца назад
I agree. There would not be a lush carpet of grass in the shadow, under a building (@9:50). More likely there would be dirt and some trash. On a positive note, this is a great shelf layout and I love the track plan which provides so much in the way of different operations. It's going to be really amazing when finished. Thank you.

My first operating video! My father has been railway modelling nearly 70 years, I’m taking my first tentative steps since my last layout 40 years ago. Plenty of tanks and aircraft in between though! I’ve found all your videos to be informative and entertaining. I do like your style and how happy you are to take feedback. I’ll be modelling in N gauge though in a Post WW2 European setting allowing me to run Steam and Diesel. Ian

Although necessary, the Clanging Bell becomes annoying after several minutes. I still enjoyed the Video! It demonstrates you can run a Railroad without much space. Another few feet at both ends will be something I will try. The “Flats” look great. May I ask what kits did you use and are they still available?
