Cool
@sernajrlouis Thanks for that. Check out some of my other content if your interested!.
Awesome
@sernajrlouis Thank you. Glad you enjoyed!
Great ops session, I like watching scale speed switching whilst I'm working.
Thank you. Yeah I like the scale speed operations too. Just that extra bit of realism. Thanks for stopping by.
Video looked good another great video
@ketchy9 Thank you for your feedback. Cheers. I was getting a bit worried.
Another excellent video,the video quality was good,wasn’t blurry
love the layout bud, just started running some trains again after a few years without a layout and have enjoyed your ops and Dave.
@simonjacobs9616 Thanks Simon!. Cheers yes it's never too late to get back into it. Glad you stopped by and enjoy the videos!!
Another great video!
@@ketchy9 Thank you very much. Cheers for stopping by.
This is an amazing piece of kit. The fact that it is self designed and kit bashed is super impressive. Thanks for showing it to us!
Thank you so much! Yes I couldn't find anything in N scale so I decided to take the plunge and build one. Glad you like it!.
would you build one in ho scale to sell
Hello! Sorry about the late reply. This version I built had alot of tweaking to get right. Even then i wouldn't trust myself to make one for someone who is willing to pay. It's just to unreliable. If you want I can maybe provide a sketch as I have no plans. It is really basic to make.
That is awesome!
Thank you so much!. Cheers. Check out some of my other videos of loading and operation sessions, etc. Glad you like it.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO ON OPERATION AS PUT DETAIL INTO YOUR LAYOUT
Thank you so much!. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes I like to try and get alot of detail in certain areas.
Nice operation and I love your layout
Thank you very much. I get alot of satisfaction out of my operations. Thank you so much for stopping by!.
Good job Dave. You too Scott.
Haha! Cheers thank you! For once we had a shift without incident!! Thanks for stopping by!
Nice 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome switching, layout, and locos! Where do you find little GP20's or any very small locos smaller than GP40's? Like your Conrail and the UP GP20 you showed? Awesome
Thank you @NitroStarGT glad you like it! These little locos I got from my local hobby store except the SF one. I grabbed that one from Ebay. Have a good look around the online hobby shops etc. They pop up from time to time. Thanks for stopping by!.
Can you do a layout tour update
Hello mate!. Thanks you stopping by. Sounds like a plan. Haven't done one in a little while. Cheers.
Check out this video and see if you like it. This one goes through and gives you lots of info about the layout etc.ua-cam.com/video/Sjd2eg8gadU/v-deo.htmlsi=vtyel029FZ2JOaHi
I’ve never thought of using flex track rail for push pull rods that’s a great idea I might use it on my layout
They work a treat. I had a surplus of old rail left over from an Ebay buy. So I put it to use. Hopefullyyou get the same resultsi did. Thank you for your interest!
@@scottcoleman9570 are all your rods straight? Just curious if it would work if it was curved
They are as straight as I could get them. Obviously with using flex track rails is you can work them around small bends as I had done to avoid obstacles under my layout.
First time viewer here. Really liking the switching operations. That is probably my favorite part of running on a model RR. You can only watch a train go round in circles so many times, but switching can offer so many operational options. That said, my little 2x3 foot (N scale) layout is a loop, but it has some small switching options as well. There are a few videos of it, but really, I have a long way to go on it. I really like the way your layout looks. Great job with it. I will have to come back and check out more of your videos for sure.
Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting! Well, yes I love the switching operations more than anything. If you model a railroad you might as well model how they work. Not too many run around in loops. This is my first American model railroad I have done so im glad you like it!. Please definitely come on back to see more.
You have a nice layout there and that was a nice ops session. One question: Where did you get the railroad paperwork at 0:56?
Hello Matt and thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the video. The paperwork involved is the Micro mark waybill and car card system. Product Code #82916. The sheets of paper that have the switching instructions written on them are just simple docket book pages from the docket and receipt books you can find in stationery shops. Hope this helps! Cheers.
@@scottcoleman9570This was helpful. Thanks :)
Wow. You nailed the details on this one! I live in San Antonio, TX and that’s what they use for switching and local runs at both yards here. We have a lot of other road names on UP lines so it’s always interesting to see oddball road names roll by, even from Mexico! Mexico makes a lot of hopper and oil cars so you’ll see brand new ones rolling north from Eagle Pass. Thanks for the video.
Thank you!. I didn't know some railcars were manufactured in Mexico. Looks like I'll have to include this switcher in alot more up coming videos. Thank you for stopping by. Cheers
Nice video, that little switcher is really a good runner.
Thank you! Yes it's very smooth. Perfect for switching operations!.
G'day from WA...nice GN unit...as for the "double banking" I think Bur Stewart does so.thing similar either with a cementapede or on his timber branch. Makes sense on an underpowered section.
Cheers for stopping by! Yeah it's basically another aspect of operations not really seen much in model form.
Great little switchers 👍. Why don't you black out the GN logo & letters and re-name the switcher for Powder River, like the mine bought an old GN engine. Add a small siding at powder river to store the switcher and leave it there. Use your UP engines to haul empties to the mine and drop them off for the switcher to do it's job loading the cars. When the cars are full, send the UP engines back with more empties and to pick up the loaded cars to haul to Oakhurst or Caliente.
Thank you!. I have played around with that idea of a siding at Powder River to store such loco. Yes the switcher would look great patched up for the mine company. I'll have a look to see where best I could install a switch. Thank you very much for your input! Cheers
Wonderfull trains and layout...i love Union Pacific Paint scheme ❤
Thank you very much!! Yes it's one of the most well known paint schemes apart from the SantaFe F7 units with the silver and red!. Cheers for your interest!.
would you be able to make one in ho scale for purchasing?
Hello!. I would love to make these for sale if I had a 3D printer. To be honest this rotary dumper is very very basic. Just using 3mm and 1mm styrene it's quite basic. Unfortunately I didn't draw up any plans for this as I made it up in my head as I went.
Where are you going to put the coke ovens?
Hello Chris. I'm thinking they must be around the back of the complex somewhere. I dont believe they came with the kit.
Nice job on the siding and good addition to the steel mill operation.
Thank you very much. It all seems to be more believable now. Thanks for your comment.
Looks great! You've got a nack for this stuff 👍👏👌
Thanks! Cheers for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed it!.
Steel mill looks awesome.
Thank you very much! Cheers!
well done... you could probably make a few extra $ selling this as a kit... might need specs for different sized cars
Yes! Could do. a 3d printer would be handy for the job! Cheers for stopping by.
Is this N or HO scale? I can’t quite tell. 😆
Hello! This is all N scale!. My home layout of the Willow creek Subdivision.
@@scottcoleman9570 Gday. 👋🏻😁 Nice! 😃 Had to look up that place since I’ve never heard of it before 😆😅, if I may ask how long have you been working on your layout for? 🙂
Thank you very much! Yes this is my channel The Willow creek Subdivision youtube.com/@scottcoleman9570?si=CqeO-8ceZeMFxIYI I have been working on the layout since Dec 2021, this is my second layout and second house it's been in.
@@scottcoleman9570 very nice! 😁 I’ll make sure to have a look at your channel when I can. ☺️
👏👏
Scott, Guy in Texas again. Sorry if I’m being too much of a pest. I’ve been a truck driver for 45 years and yes Roadway is a large freight company. They merged with Yellow Freight in the last ten years and now go by Yellow Roadway. The era you’re doing they would still be Roadway. Have a Blessed day young man
This is Guy Foster from Texas. A suggestion; if your gravel piles are glued down you could paint them in a similar color and glue a layer of iron ore over that. I didn’t expect to see you starting right away…lol….can’t wait to see how it turns out. Have a Blessed day Scott
Hello Guy. Yes that's exactly what I was thinking. Paint them up then a small layer of Iron ore. Should look great. Thank you for the info on the Roadway logo. Cheers!
How did you make the loader? I want a coal loader with live loads but can't find one in n scale.
Thanks for stopping by Shawn!. The loader is all made out of styrene (3mm) thick. It is basically a hopper with a styrene tube that pierces through the bottom of the hopper. The styrene tube has a spring from a ball point pen inside it and the spring is connected straight to a small electric motor behind the hopper.The part of the styrene tube that is exposed inside the hopper has a section on the top of the tube cut out so the Iron ore can fall into the tube and be pushed along by the spring(auger).
Let me know if this is helpful. I can try to post a diagram if I can.
The switcher is a Baldwin VO-1000. And it looks like Dave needs either some more unpaid time off, or a demotion to engine washer.
Thanks Troy! Cheers! Now to souce a good doner chassis. Yeah Dave is still in Holiday mode I think. Thanks for your comment!.
Hello Scott, this is Guy from Texas. Happy to see what progress you make on your Ore conversion and please keep the operations videos coming. Also, several US railroads did use the two bay open top hoppers for iron ore. Have a Blessed day or evening…lol. Happy New Year
Hello Guy! Thank you for dropping by. That's great about the hoppers! No need to purchase anymore. Thank you very much. Happy New Year!.
I enjoyed this video very much, so I subscribed and liked. I especially liked the narration of the operation. However, I was constantly adjusting the volume between your audio, and the music. But this is going on in a lot of other video's, so I guess I can just deal with it. I wish you success with your channel, keep up the good work.
Thank you very much! Yes sorry about the Audio. I have a set volume I have it on but it's still moves about. So I've decided to scrap the audio bits for now. Thank you very much for stopping by. Cheers!
Hi
Hello Darren Thank you for stopping by the channel.
I like the slow pace,very nice……..great job. B
Cheers mate! Yeah I like it too. Love the prototypical speeds even though the railroad is not 100% prototypical. Thanks for stopping by!🙂
Hello Scott, my name is Guy. Love your layout. Have you considered making your gravel company an iron ore operation. Making the rotary dumper part of your steel plant. You could put a couple of structures with covered conveyer belts insinuating the ore is being moved to the steel plant. Just a thought. Have a Blessed day young man and keep up the great work
Hello Guy!. Thanks for stopping by! That's not a bad idea actually!! Yeah the iron ore is dumped and straight to the steel plant. Also I could have stockpiles of ore there as well. It would be great if walthers did the N scale conveyor belt kits as they do for HO. Might just have to scratch build them. Thank you very much for your input. Greatly appreciated. Stay safe.
I'd love to know what an opeartion is.
Hello @whitefiddle. Opeartion is the incorrect way of spelling operation. Thank you for stopping by!👍🙂
Looks like Dave needs a letter of reprimand and a couple days off without pay.
Might be a bit of a drug and alcohol test too!! 🤔
Did enjoy the video. Nicely done.Liked the drama with the "stuck" pickup too.
Thank you so much!. Yes I felt it would be great to add in a little humour. Glad you liked it!. Thanks for stopping by!.
Sorry everyone. For the second time I spelt operations wrong!! My apologies!!.
I think the word you're looking for is "spelled". For God's sake man, it's your language. Very nice model railroad though ! Well done !
Really sorry. I'm not that good at that sort if thing, spelling, proof-reading etc.but I do try. I'll try to get it right on the next video. Thanks for stopping by!. Cheers👍🙂
Very nice layout and operating session
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a real amazing project. Question, I will make this for myself, can you please give me the following answers; what is the diameter of the two disks. what is de dimension of the opening in the disk please in cm.
Thank you for stopping buy!. Unfortunately I do not have the measurements with me. When I do eventually get home I will measure it for you. And I will get back to you ASAP. At this stage I won't be home until Tuesday.
Hey there!. I'm back home again and I went and grabbed those measurements you were after. The disks are 10.5cm diameter. The opening in the disks is 3cm wide. And 3.5cm height. The length of track that's on the Ridge is 10.1cm long. Hope this is useful to you. Cheers.
Enjoyed the video and your layout. Thanks for sharing! From the Superintendent of the UPRR Willow Creek Subdivision in Virginia USA.
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed it. Very nice to hear you actually work on the real Willow creek Subdivision!! Awsome job. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!👍🙂.
