How I Expanded the Layout | BNSF HO Scale Model Railroad
Переглядів 6 тис.6 місяців тому
See how I quickly and economically expanded our BNSF layout. Using a modular style, we have nearly doubled the size of the layout making for more exciting operating sessions as well as an opportunity to have several more trains running at a time. We've built 9 modules that can be setup in around 30 minutes!

Can you show everybody your Amtrak free?
Very much enjoyed watching this video. So nice to see prototype operating where trains run at proper speeds, don't drive a car 40-50' when coupling up and the conductor changing positions as required. Very professional operations!
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Good to see the steam engine at the last as saw it in the tunnel. Thank You.
Yep, getting it fired up for the next video! Stay tuned!
I call BS 12:00 to 21:00 you took 10 moves a Real railroad would have done it is 6 moves.......
This is not a real railroad! Nor am I a real railroader! 😂
@@milepost33 I thought that's what a model railroad was to be as Realistic as Possible guess I was wrong in your case.
@@johnbowyer5519 Model railroading is supposed to be fun. I have a lot of it too! Thanks for watching!
@@milepost33 No problem great layout over all have fun.
I’m so jealous!!! Your layout is so sick
Thank you!!
Nice layout!
Appreciate that! Glad you like it!
Love the video! Nice work! I’m planning to get metrolink f59phi soon. Can you do more on metrolink please?
Thanks! Yes definitely more metrolink coming in the future.
Hello. I just came across this video and it's in line with what I want to do for backdrops. The question I have is how did you scale your pictures to get the size you wanted? Looks good.
Thank you Lamont! I use the Walgreens app on their website to scale the photos. Just kind of a guess on my part but so far it’s been pretty accurate. Also, I’ve started having the backdrops printed on vinyl instead of paper. Works better when your doing ground cover as to not soak up any water, glue, etc. thanks again for the comment and let me know how it turns out!
Fantastic ops session well done all the way through the video really enjoyed. Always great to see we do 8-10 hours ops session at the club it’s a blast Thanks for sharing 😎🚂🫵TSM
Thanks 👍 glad you enjoyed the video!! We try and do a proper ops session a couple times a month. Thanks again for the comment and stay tuned for more in the near future!
So you use the cherry pick method of switching as opposed to classifying the whole set-off?
What typically happens is that the yard crew just sets out the cars for the local in no particular order. It’s up to the local crew to classify the cars in the yard before they depart for the branch line. If not, then you switch the local as you saw in the video. Thanks for the comments!
How did I miss this short? Very slick lashup man!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
I really want to get my hands on a BN green SD40-2
That would be sweet!
great work!! i really enjoyed this! Cheers, Wade
Thank you!! Much appreciated!
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.
Thank you so much! I've been meaning to get a proper looking track plan published for some time. It's in the works and I will get it out to everyone ASAP.
I like how you overlayed the prototypical sound of the locos at TS 11:30 as it goes by. Adds that extra "depth" element. 👍👍
Thank you Colin! Yeah I thought it made the video a little more realistic. Appreciate the kind words!
@@milepost33 welcome
How about a video just on vehicles
Yeah I can do that. I'll add that in to my next video.
Good looking layout! Have you ever seen www.traintraxx.com/ Its a fully functional operating system that generates waybills and and inventory system.
Love the model of 3751! One of these days im going to have to try getting one for myself.
That thing is awesome!! I model mostly modern equipment but I just can’t resist running the 3751!
Are we gonna get to see it run sometime? @@milepost33
@@joenewstead4848 Yes, very soon. Stay tuned!
I’m questioning why their are metro link cars on an amtrack train
The metrolink cars are being refurbished I think in Oklahoma? They transit most of the route via Amtrak on the Southwest Chief.
Grest video! The additional sounds are very effective. Also subbed.
Glad you enjoy the videos!! Thanks for the kind words!
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!
Gorgeous layout man. Excellent use of the space.
Thanks! I fit as much as I possibly could! Glad you enjoyed the videos!
Thanks for sharing, excellent presentation.
I really appreciate that! Thank you!!
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.
Hi Milepost 33 Productions and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Milepost 33 Productions & Friends Randy
Thank you Randy!
Awesome layout
Thank you so much!
@@milepost33 it's great to railfan someone's layout on UA-cam
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.
Hi Dave! Thank you so much for the kind words and glad you enjoy the videos!
Wow, that is a fantastic shot of both trains running simultaneously on your double layout, and doing so with BNSF on one level, and UP on the other is a fantastic idea..
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video!
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.
I’m so glad you noticed that! Thanks for the kind words and glad you like the videos!
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...
Thanks John! Glad you like the videos!
This layouts a great inspiration
Thank you!
What a fun layout .... I love it 👍
Glad you like it!
Love the excellent detail and keep up the excellent work
Thank you very much!!
Hi! Great video!! How many industries off the layout does the team track serve??
Thank you so much! There are 8 industries on the branchline.
I always enjoy tagging along with the local crew. Is it possible to tone down the flange squealing noise?
Thanks for the feedback!
So very realistic! Love watching your wonderful videos.
Thanks so much!
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?
Thanks! So the switch stand is made by Details West and I believe I bought it from Lombard Hobbies.
@@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?
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!
Thanks so much for kind words!
Its great to see operations and your narration makes it very interesting
Glad you enjoyed and thanks so much for the kind words!
I just came across this video .... Subscribed!!! 👍
Awesome! Thank you! Glad you like the videos!
@@milepost33 I just did an L shaped point to point I'm hoping to do some scenery this weekend 👍
I have a question: What kind of lights did you use for the station, chemical facility, and yard office?
These are from a company called Wehonest.. you can find them on eBay. Been super happy with them so far.
@@milepost33 Thanks Milepost33!
Very nice switching r r
Nice layout
Nice layout! Subscribed. On my friend's layout, I set up JMRI Operations. It's good for just moving cars and having a switchlist for crews to follow. On my layout I'm using Car Card and Waybill, so I can decide on the fly what cars move and when.
Cool, thanks! I haven’t used car cards yet.
I enjoyed the video but there is one thing I would like to see more of. All model tracks I see have one or more switch tracks. I would like to see them used some. You show them at a distance but seldom if ever at a closeup.
Noted! Thanks for the comments!
Awesome
