Welcome to my O gauge layout. I grew up in Roanoke, VA so you will see a lot of NS and N&W O gauge and scale trains as well as Pennsylvania, Reading, Penn Central, etc since I live in PA now. I run a good mix of Scale and Semi Scale freight behind mostly Semi-Scale locomotives and a few Scale locomotives. This is all set up in my living room. My girlfriend is cool for tolerating it. 😂😂
I buy used from our local shops around Pittsburgh, Marketplace, and eBay as well as new rolling stock here and there if the price is right. I’m currently focusing on buildings and scenery to fill out my layout.
The plan is to move this to my shop once the building is weatherproofed and I install some form of climate control. Everything is built in 24”x8’ sections that can be moved easily. Once it is moved It will triple in size. I hope you enjoy my videos!
If you have questions about something you see in my videos or just want to talk trains feel free to email me at TheRailYard77@gmail.com

Lionel LionChief Norfolk Southern ET44AC Pulling O Scale Freight On 4.4% Grade
LionChief locomotives are the answer to steep grades. All of mine consistently run great on the incline and decline. I’m positive this one will pull more than the 10 cars and caboose but I see no reason to overdo it. It’s pretty impressive as is.

Awesome 😎👍
Thanks! Happy New Year!
I had discovered this trick about 6 months ago and it really does help. Highly recommend doing this on existing Fastrack or new installation as well.
@@rickculver7333 great minds…. Thanks for watching!
Amazing! 👍

Nice ge and emd
Nice trains running thats a huge layout
You made a semi truck runs😂😂
@@marcuscrookshanks7902 make sure to show your dad that one! 😂😂😂😂
This is a beautiful et44
@@marcuscrookshanks7902 yes sir! Thanks!
Nice ac6000 locomotive
@@marcuscrookshanks7902 thanks bud!
I don't even know why there is a third rail as it seem like all the other scales don't. But hey, each their own.
I just keep it there for a conversion piece.
Is this a PS 1 logo or an early PS2?
It’s PS1. I will probably put PS3 in it eventually. The bell is great but no crew talk and the whistle is pretty disappointing.
Is that P.S.1?
It’s a PS2. It’s a 5v so I keep a good eye on it. Don’t want to upgrade it just yet.
If you're concerned about "scale" quit running on 3 rails
Here’s a fun fact! I buy as many two rail cars as I can and I convert them to three rail and throw the trucks and Kadee couplers in the trash so guys like you can’t have them. Thanks for watching!
Funny 😭
@@WestFrontPro.OFFICIALsomeone has to maintain the balance. 😂😂
Nice
@@thomasgrassi8817 thanks for watching!
Awesome video!
@northpennvalleysteamrailroad thanks!! I love these big locomotives. I picked up another one and have one more on the way already 😀
Outstanding video
@@thomashunter3336 thanks!
Never liked O gauge, third rail not supposed to be there!
@@Dondavis4501 thanks for watching!
I need this
@FoxRiverRails just the beer or the train?? I’m ready for a beer. 🍻
another fix is to bend the middle pin the right way for better contact for when you put the track together it makes a big difference
@@bernardconeghen I tried that once. Snapped the pin. Haven’t touched one since other than to clean it.
yeah I almost came close to doing that I found out it payes to go slow
Nice smoke unit locomotive
@@marcuscrookshanks7902 unfortunately I lost an O ring and it smokes out of everywhere now 😂😂😂
That's a nice freight train Saturday
@@marcuscrookshanks7902 thanks bud! I forgot it looked like that not long ago.
This layout is amazing
Hello sir, what brand are these?
@@Chris-c5d they are mostly K-line. There rest are Weavers. The K-line are really nice. Sprung trucks, diecast couplers, interior details.
I was running a LionChief polar express on a cw-80 and pushed one of the sound buttons and somehow ruined the soundboard
@@Bobdole4373 that’s strange. I’ve never had a problem with them. I run them an a ZW and on an MTH Z-4000 without issues. Sorry your Locomotive got messed up. Have you checked Trainz.com for a replacement soundboard?
I used a similar tool prior to assembly, very lightly on the female end. Then applied Ox-Gard (anti-oxidant compound) to the male pins, then assembled the track.
@@AudiOhm I haven’t tried the ox guard yet but I’ve seen videos on it. I still have the other 2/3 of my layout to build so I definitely will get some.
Thats the second time ive seen that car that full lol
@@wcsar410 hey at least this time I only had to drive three hours and not three days lol
Love it. Too quick to make out some of them, though!🍺
Nice!
@@raysrails2164 glad you liked it!
Fantastic!!

Love the Lion Chief NS ET44-AC. I can’t find one new under $ 335.00.😭
Lovely❤
Thanks for watching!!!
@@NSModelRailRoading Support where I can, and appreciate all railways, kind regards, Elizabeth, Compliments with the Season
Very nice locomotive! I have the CNW version of this with the same QSI PS-1 system in it. I upgraded mine to have NOS remote operating couplers that MTH offered back in the day. Eventually I'd like to find the N&W version.
@@wordenentertainment1997 nice! The N&W ones are all over for around $150. I’m thinking about buying another and swiping the electronics to fix my Crusader. The chuff is pretty awesome!
Mmmmmm beer
Exactly. I like mine dark though. If it’s not 10% alcohol I don’t want it. 😁
❤❤❤
Glad you like this!
@@NSModelRailRoading I have a 1955 split window, 1 series bull nose pickup - love it
@@Tauraco00 nice! My uncles have a 55. They’ve had it since high school. When I was a kid it had flames on it and a cobra jet engine. Now it’s been completely restored to stock.
@NSModelRailRoading cool, I also have an AC cobra
@ that’s awesome. My car building days are over due to back injuries. I do a little bit of the work on my CTS but anything big I ship it. Sucks to be a mechanic for 30 years and have to pay people to do repairs.
🎄🧑🏼🎄
@@Tauraco00 🚂 🌲
@NSModelRailRoading coolz
AWESOME RUN🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@RABSTRAINS thanks! Now to clean up this mess 😂
I see a lot of K Line Boxes👍👍🔥🔥🔥
@@RABSTRAINS K-line are my favorite cars! Can’t beat them for the cost.
I have the same train, but i have a bit of a problem which i think im a pickle for it. Everytime, when i put railcars in it, every single curve it derails, do you know how to stop it?
@@LocalCharlotteTrainSpotter what set is it? Do you have the Lionel number off of the box? I bought this engine by itself. No set box. I bet there may be a minimum curve. What curves are you running?
@NSModelRailRoading I'm using rails from a Santa Fe train set and I bought the Norfolk Southern off the box too, I pretty much think I need rails that support the problem.
@ minimum curve for the NS Locomotive is O-31. If you have 0-27 it’s not going to work.
That’s a good tip, and you could take it one step further by filing down the tips of each edge so they are more blunt and apply a more broad contact surface.
Messing with those tips makes me nervous. First one I ever touched snapped off. Not very good steel that’s for sure.
Awesome!!!
@@RABSTRAINS I need a few more deals like that to break even with them lol
Awesome. Great Deal. 👍🙏🔥🇺🇸❤️💪
@@RABSTRAINS Thanks !!
Awesome 😊
@@northpennvalleysteamrailroad thanks & thanks for watching!
Amazing action! There’s so much to see! Wow!!🤩
@@TwistedMacGyversTrains there is definitely a lot going on there. It’s hard to catch everything. I noticed more underneath the main layout as I was leaving.
@@NSModelRailRoadingNo kidding! That’s so cool! 👍
@ now I’m thinking I can build down after I’ve maxed out building up and out lol
@@NSModelRailRoading It all depends on your construction. It depends how you built your layout. I thought about the same thing. 👍💯
Congrats on getting your dummy locomotive! I have the same set, I can’t wait for the Vista Domes to come out! Looks amazing going down the track! 💯❤️😎
@@TwistedMacGyversTrains That’s awesome! When are those coming? Is preorder open yet?
I’m willing to bet they will be in the next catalog. I’m also waiting for the domes for the Lionel Lines passenger set. There’s no official word as of yet. I’m just guessing. If you look at my latest shorts, you will see how it will look. Just imagine it with the Texas special paint scheme.
@ well it would be cool to have. I hope the retry the B unit. It was in a catalog in the last few years but they must not have gotten enough preorders. It was cancelled is what I can put together of it.
@@NSModelRailRoadingI was not aware of that. If they do come out with a diesel ABA units for the Lionel lines, I would definitely have to get them to complete my set. Passenger trains are definitely my favorite.
Is that from the Lion Chief Set? Looks awesome!👍🙏🔥❤️💪
@@RABSTRAINS it is! I love everything about it other than the cars. Very poorly made. Screws are one time use and the wiring for the lights is garbage. The engines are great. I run that one on a grade nonstop.
@ this is good to know. Are you going to rewire the cars? I get very tired and frustrated with poor quality items in general. I sure wish in todays world, we could purchase model trains at a reasonable price that actually were built solid!
@ I am now that I have some smaller gauge wire. I usually just have 16 gauge laying around. I’m not the best at soldering though lol
@ it’s a learned art for sure. I am not that great as well. Amazon has the set now at a discount and I get an employee discount as well. I could get the set for 404.00 total with shipping. I don’t know if that’s a good deal, but I want other train items first. I need to get a few more cars for my Santa Fe passenger train.
@ I’d honestly buy it used. If it’s derailed more than once it will have all of those wires broken and you might pick it up really cheap. The add on cars run about $70 each and that new non powered unit is $179 but you’d better grab that fast unless someone ordered a bunch of extra stock and not just the preorders plus a few extra. The engines aren’t much smaller than scale. I’ve thought of buying some nicer scale cars to pull with it.
Good work-looks nice and smooth. What’s the grade or rise and length? I’m looking to do something similar.
@@3-Rail-Tales-Dad the direction I run most engines the rise is 11 inches in 130 inches of track. It was initially supposed to be a 4.4% grade but I modified the height of the upper level a bit. Coming down is currently much steeper as I didn’t have room for 130 inches of track on that end. I’ll be building two more tables so I can bring it down a bit slower. My Shay will run up it either direction no problem.
@ thanks-mine will be about that, so I appreciate seeing how it might look. Keep up the great work!
@ I don’t know how you feel about AI but my girlfriend asked me to tell her what I was trying to do and to be very specific. I told her and she hands me a list of support measurements from start to finish on both ends. Would have took me forever to come up with it.
@ that sounds like a video itself
@@3-Rail-Tales-Dad probably lol
looks great
@@PopPopsTrainRoom thanks!
great layout, great video love fort Apache grow up with playing this, animation wow
It’s definitely a busy layout. He said that nowhere on the layout is there an empty spot big enough to lay an index card down. He’s got piles of antique trains and scenery.
Cool caboose parade. 💯
Thanks for checking it out !
Love it
Thanks!
