Operating the Grain Turn on new expanded layout. (With Narration.).
Since the major expansion of the layout last fall, here we run the Grain Turn in a different way to take advantage of the new layout space and make the job easier and faster.

Showing all the work I’ve been doing on the layout since last update. I do run occasionally, but usually a single train and partially to live it out of the way so I can work on another section. I’m excited about the new added section. Gives me more options and businesses now to service in my (scale) 1.1 mile long switching layout. All locos are using SoundTraxx Blunami for full wireless control...

Looks like we got lucky and caught a rare Amtrak Train rolling through the little town. Wanted to take a quick run of the F40s and share a short video. Locos are Rapido F40PH with the great Tsunami2 sound. Advanced Consisted with the second unit with HEP mode enabled! Cars are Walthers cars I’ve collected over the years.

On Nov 12th, I shot a layout update. It’s been a busy month as I spent time working on the layout every evening. Sept 23, the layout addition was bare foam, so lots going on.

For those wondering how they hold up.. in the video I show you a section of black that was done on the original video so you can compare durability. I play on average 2-3x per week during the season.

A POV Journey through Disney’s Frozen ride at EPCOT
I got a layout like this
@@theaussiez5133 oh yea? I’d love to see it!
@@goaliegeorge I actually do
How many locomotives are in the fleet?
@@johnathanlewis2049 I’m not sure. He had about 5-6 that we worked on while I was there. Follow him on UA-cam. Thom Radice. Thanks for watching!
Man, that is OUTSTANDING! I did like the narrative going on.. and like the MoPac locomotives… is the GP15-1 an Athearn genesis unit?
@@chrisgrote6779 thanks. And yes, a GP15 from the early run a few years ago. Lights were upgraded to LEDs and lit the number boards and class lights. The new run shipping later this year, will have them illuminated. Thanks for watching !
Haney and Leo would be proud! Reckon we ought to go to Denny's and have a cup of coffee! Subbed you
@@ShawnCalay ooh.. I should try to find a place for a Dennys. 🤔🤔 Thanks!
@@goaliegeorge I haven't seen that movie in years LOL!
You know, there aren't many layouts of 1860's through 1890's railroading. I know of a few, but this one takes the cake. Thanks for sharing!
@@gageblymyer you can see more on Thom Radice channel. It’s his layout and you are right, it’s stupendous!!
GG👀~, What a fantastic and fun operation video brother! 👍 Great modeling my friend. Thanx Thom...
@@tct855 thank you sir! Appreciate the kind words. It’s not to Sellios level, but I’m having fun!!
Great video and another vote for the narration. Loving the MOPAC and MKT look before the cover of Amour Yellow.
@@wigginlocomotiveworks8199 yea. The armour yellow would taint the layout…. 😂😂 Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. I’ll try to make more this month since I’ll be traveling a lot of September and October.
Hey George, narration can be a good thing. Most model railroaders have a basic understanding of operations, but, they may not understand the operations on other people’s layouts. Describing what you’re doing and why you’re doing it can help them understand and learn
@@PennCentral99 good points. I think I’ll do a combo of narration and subtitles moving forward. Thanks! And was great to see ya in STL.
@@goaliegeorge good to see you at the RPM and Ken’s house! From your bosses point of view, you were busy talking to people!!
Excellent work George. Great looking MoPac units. Looking forward to seeing more!
@@cbrailroader642 thanks!! I hope to get to do more soon.
The narration is great!!
@@shadowfaxx5 great to hear. Never know if it’s too much or not enough of my annoying voice overrunning the beautiful sounds of the locos! Haha.
Really enjoyed the video. Keep the narration, it enhances the experience. Better than no sound or the funky music that sometimes accompanies some videos. Great job of designing the track layout at the elevator too. Your train crews must enjoy the ease of switching there.
@@stephenminton4789 yea. I do t like the music in the background. That certainly detracts from the subject in my opinion. Sound of the locos and some explanation of what is happening. That works for me. I’d love a much bigger space for the grain elevator. But this section was built in limited space based on a track plan from MR Planning issue. It fit the space. With more space now, I’d have done a little different, but it works for now. When I get the building built out back, then I’ll be good. Thanks!!
Nice work, George!
@@SoundtraxxDCC 👍👍
The narration is perfect. Explaining what's going is good. An experienced operator can figure out what is happening, but to a novice it may not be obvious. One other thing.. your sound volume is low and not way overdone like so many others. That is one thing SoCal is guilty of.. too loud, but otherwise I love his vids as well
@@jasonweir6345 I try to use “scale sound”. Which is if the real loco looked/appeared that small, how much would you hear from that distance..? And so my loco allegedly miles away doesn’t sound like you’re right up on it.. I appreciate the comments on my.. comments. 🤔. I think I’ll do a hybrid of comments and subtitles next time. Thanks for watching!
I enjoy the narration. Bits of operational info is very helpful. Looking forward to more.
@@ChrisKinoshita7 great to hear. I’ll do more commentary and a combo of subtitles next time and see if that is as good. Thanks for watching!!
I think i like this better 🤠
@@randysrockandrollrailroad8207 it’s certainly seems to be the consensus. I’ll do more narration on future vids. Thanks!!
Nice diamond shot! I like to hear the trains run and take in the scene. So my preference is informational captions vs. verbal narration.
@@JosephMusgrove that’s my tendency too.. but responding to another creator asking for more. So, I tried it. Thanks.
Narration is always better George. Thanks for the video, very enjoyable.
@@1johnmcwilliams your vote is in the tally. I personally prefer none, but will see what we all collectively agree too. I have to op the new section soon. Metal scrap yard and oil facility. Oh, and team track! Needs a video soon. Thanks.
Excellent secession on operation. Having the narration was great. Really enjoyed it. Hope you do some more.
@@rcthunderbolt thanks. Your vote is considered. I personally prefer no narration, so will see where it goes. May do a combo of no talking, but more detailed subtitles. Thanks.
Nice progress! Eventually plan on turning my RS3 into a GP.
@@JosephMusgrove thanks. If you have the Atlas, mphs is working on a full body replacement.. the Bowser one, get the parts. Contact Charlie and he can get them for ya.
@@goaliegeorge Thanks!
Love the layout. Where can I go see it.
@@flakebelk3338 contact Thom Radice through his UA-cam channel.
Are the (is it ?) link and pin couplings commercially available, or do you make them ?
@@MarkInLA both..? Precision scale has some pockets and there are some other companies that make some drop-in pockets for Kadee boxes. I’ve used some of the San Juan Model Co On2 coupler plastic pockets also, then can either make the links or buy them. If you go to Thoms YT channel, he has posted a lot of our Civil War Modelers Zoom meets where things like that are discussed in further detail.
Even the telegraph poles look authentic!
@@DH.2016 he certainly did a great job on that layout!!
Look fantastic love to see it in person looks like a lot of fun
@@patrickfrawley6656 contact Thom on his channel, Thom Radice. Thanks for watching!
This is the fastest she’s gone in decades.
@@Basinrails haha. Probably!
Great looking layout!
@@KandWRailroader thank you!!
Nice progress!!! Once spring hit here in NY it’s been all outside work around the house!! But this gives me some push to get my butt in gear!!
@@StreetRailProd great! With household chores and such, can still come in and do something, no matter how little to make progress. Install a decoder, lay a patch of grass, etc. but glad to help get ya motivated. Thanks for watching!
@@goaliegeorge making my priority list , number one is to de clutter since it’s been a few months , then get a game plan .. track is already laid down.. guess wiring would be number two 😂
Great progress. Thanks for the update. It’s fun watching the layout grow.
@@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC glad to hear. I’m having fun doing it! I hope to have an ops video up soon. Thanks.
Layout is coming along great!!
@@houseofrandomness thanks! Just having fun…. 😎👍
Wow, George, it looks fantastic. That main street near the housing development looks great.
@@warrenholmar1129 thank you! I get an idea in my mind and try to recreate it to the best of my ability. Not sure I’m as successful as I’d like, but I’m enjoying it! Thanks for watching.
Looks great
@@sernajrlouis thank you very much.
Layout looks amazing, I'm only 4x6 but a scenery nut, good job, thanks for sharing
@@jessenoklahoma you can do a lot in 4x6.. scenery helps and can be used as a scene divider. Have fun and try things out as you go. Then if/when you get a bigger space, you have some better ideas on how to do the scenery on that! And if not, then you have experimented with a few different methods and you may decide to go back and “fix” other scenes. Enjoy! Thanks for watching!
hey George, looking good!
@@PennCentral99 thank you sir! See you this weekend..
@@goaliegeorge you bet! when you arriving? maybe dinner thursday night? if not, we'll get together for lunch during the show
The Calahan Auto section is my favorite. Such a great movie.
@@redhunter68 an all-time classic. Had to represent in the layout! Juts need to build the road-side signage. I’ve delayed because I want to light it up too. (Of course!) so I have to scratch build it and had a few other projects on the workbench I had to get done first. Those are now done. So we shall see what I build next…. Thanks for watching!
Lots of nice scenery work…like the small step progress attitude…awesome looking geep12
@@georgiasunbelt thanks. I’ll have it on display at StLouis RPM if you can make it! That was a fun loco to do.. appreciate the kind words.
very nice update and a sweet layout. nice foliage and ground cover. you have a great layout going :)
@@mysticrailroad thanks. Like I said, do a little bit each day and it’ll manifest itself in significant progress. I use a mix of woodland Scenics and Scenic Express fine turfs, then some coarse thrown in , the static grasses following Martin Wellbergs methods.. Thanks for watching!
What year is your layout set in?
@@matttjaden I’m trying to model 1978. It gives me a good mix of early and later diesels to throw in as I desire. That’s the biggest reason. The GP12s all were gone by then, but in my world, one survived! Thanks for watching!
@@goaliegeorge to me modeling 1975-1990 offers a lot of verity in equipment and roads. Personally I model RF&P in 1986 due to the roads that interchanged. I must say you did an amazing on that RS3. I’ve got a couple of Alco units on my layout. Adding Tsunami2 to them and setting up the DDE feature really brings them to life. The only thing missing is the smoke! Keep up the good work.
Your layout is looking really good. I am looking forward to more updates.
@@MarkWick Thanks. Next video will be operations. Just need to do some editing and post. Probably next week. Thank you!!
Enjoyed!!! Now it's your turn to enjoy!!!
@@nicksanto882 yessir. Almost finished my new Caboose and then it more Ops. I’ll have an ops video next week! Stay tuned, my friend. See ya in St Louie!
As usual, you have done a great amount of work & it looks fantastic. Great job on the scenery, especially the trees.
@@stephenminton4789 thank you! Trees are a mix of Scenic Express super Trees and the ones by the tower are some dried Autumn Sedum plants covered in fine turf.. Thanks for watching!
little bit done each time and your getting more done than I am in the last couple months. looking good sir
@@sparky107107 Thanks! And as I mentioned, just do a small thing and it’ll get done faster than ya think! Some nights I may ballast 1’ and go to bed. But that’s 1’ that’s now done. And that 1’ over a week is 7’ of ballasted track. I hate to admit he was right, but he was. He was able to build a massive basement layout (unfortunately now gone for a move) in a short period of time using that mentality. And with hockey season over till fall, I have lots of time! Hahaha. Thanks for watching!
Awesome update. Love the GP12.
@@MoPac-Trains thanks. I’ll have it with me at next weeks St Louis RPM meet. Was a fun project!
I thought the guy on the roof was Waldo at first.
No. But I like the idea.. will have to get one painted up now.. hahaha! Thanks for watching!

I wasn't aware that you had a personal UA-cam channel! I have subbed! That road/suburb looks fantastic! Still no joy on the TSU KN1 decoders for my Kato E7s...
Thanks! I don’t post as much as I would like, but it lets me share some things. I need to get an ops video out soon. I have one in editing, juts need to dedicate the time to finish it. And call us on the E7s. We’ll see what we can do to help.. thanks.
@goaliegeorge Thanks, George. I will get in touch once my wife is back to work from maternity leave.
Really nice layout. I myself like when the extensions on my lines aren’t perfectly straight as I can put a drainage ditch or some type of scenery feature. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Would it be feasible to paint a white (or some other color of your choice) tie where you need to stop prior to throwing the switch at your turnout?
In more modern times, yes. Or at least the fouling point. But in 1978, they didn’t have that. Just better trained operators I guess. (Haha. I kid!). He wasn’t wrong. That’s what he did when he ran trains for BN in 1978, so I guess I cannot fault him too much. In the new area, he can do whatever he wants! Thanks for watching M.
Some good progress on all aspects…excellent roadways and outside home details…the smoker👍🏽…industrial expansion is nice…still need the passenger car interiors for my KFC
They’re out there. Good luck on your search. Thanks for the kind words and yea, I needed a smoker! Haha. Thanks for watching!
Excellant nice to see the expansions.
