In part 2, the action continues and picks up in the later hours of the day as train after train uses the Rainelle Junction interlocking to get to and from their destinations. The bottleneck is here and it becomes a challenge and a puzzle to keep traffic moving. And as always, the Ridgeline strikes again as the very last train off the subdivision derails just before entering the mainline. No, th...

Better than I could do. For sure. Realnice
Nice layout run👌🏼👍🏼🚂🚂🤣🤣
I notice u didn't masked the wi ndows....other than that...nice weathering....
Love these Stack Containers.👍💪
Wow you weren't kidding. The Heritage Locomotives of CSX are 100% awesome to see in scale models. 😃 I was having technical difficulties on my other phone where i watch all my broadcast & was with operator assistance wondering what happened to my service, I straightened that out, That's why my chat comment came late on part 2 . (Saw the entirety later) Thanking you for doing all this with model trains & for making 2024 a pleasure to watch this channel. Happy Holidays to all at Central Florida Railroad Modelers Club see you in 2025. My best regards Harold Alexis CN Railroad 🇨🇦 etc..
The show must go on & that it did. I enjoyed watching this premiere Wow another derailment & caught on camera, the subtitles are hilarious at the end before the accident 👍🤣🤣🤣🤣💪😇❤
awesome trains
I'm so sorry for your loss, my sympathy goes out to the model railroad club, he will be missed. 🥹💔 Harold
Thanks for that good show. But, i don´t know where modelers got that bad habit of whistling at every start. Don´t know all the rules, but sound signal goes back to pre radio days in steam age. In those times, brakemen was giving movment requests by hand signal at day and with their lantern at night. Engineer repeating with whistle said order. Also when more than one steam locomotive was on the train, whistling was used to give indications to other units or pusher in the rear. Can´t imagine flat switching in the yard at 3 AM with those nonsenses horning at each start or change of directions for trying to sleep neighbors. But may be i´m wrong, and in the US, they like trains in pre radio age. Don´t take my comment badly. It´s a real disease among modelers. Imagine that in a city in your car and all other car drivers at each stop or red light.... Nice layout, operations and story with stall and loss air pressure.😊😊😊😊
No, its not THE most realistic but it is in my top 10 in the country for sure.
I enjoy your videos. Please show more coal trains.
So sorry about your friend. It's bad losing someone this close to Christmas. Awesome video. Merry Christmas to all. Dave
Scott does an awesome job video recording the layout and running of the trains. As a fairly new member, I am still awed by the detail of what has been put together over many years. The lighting and landscaping are first rate. It is an absolute blessing to be a part of this club and to be taught new skills beyond my current level by a group of people who love the hobby.
Is the csx heritage one of the sxt ones or custom?
scaletrains
@centralfloridarailroadmodelers okay that's what I thought
The lighting effects of the layout really brings it to life! Good to see everything being weathered as well. Nice job…
Thank you!
Merry Christmas guys! I love this layout.
Merry Christmas to you too!
Incredible layout. Nicely edited video. Merry Christmas to all. Dave
Merry Christmas to you too Dave!
Wow very cool 😎
Thanks 😁
Thanks
thankd guys great derail
Nice touch in the beginning guys, He will be missed for sure.
Do you have any ns old logo 70 ton open hoppers?
Condolences to you and your model railroad family, also to John Plummers family. Losing someone and so close to the holidays is terrible. Prayer out for the family.
very kind of you. John was a great guy and a heck of a model railroader! he will be missed
@centralfloridarailroadmodelers it has to be nice to have a community where you all share the same hobby and work together on projects. In Alabama, we do have clubs, but not close enough for me to be able to interact. (Not feeling sorry for myself) I have a small hut that I work on my models and run them and post small UA-cam videos. I do admire yalls club seems like some killer running and operations. Merry christmas, may your dreams be filled with diesel, coal smoke, and the LOUD squeel of the flange to rail friction! And thank you for the entertainment.
Very informative. I thought was watching real life. Heck of a layout.
Thanks just whaithing for part 2
Maybe not the most realistic, anyway not bad: those rusty freight cars are quite effectively close to the real. Thumbs up mostly fot the ambientation: rocks, trees, grass, etc. Really realistic, yea.👍 8:40 10:11 way the fastest freight train ever seen, running about at 45/50 mph...! The recipients of those goods will surely be happy.
What do you guys use for the ballast under the tracks?
woodland scenics brand. variety of ballast available from them
great videos .nice action
Glad you liked it!
Cool videos. Would like to see more videos on operations on other parts of layout, barge, central station, ect:).....meanwhile after watching the video, apparently I spoke too soon!!
I know that Central Station is located in a rural area, Not sure how the passengers felt about those stock cars parked in the shed. LOL May need to make sure the stock cars remain out in the open air the next time.
In theory, they were picked up from the meat packing plant so they were empty
Nice old German train, Who made the big gun?
I always love the action on this layout. You all do fantastic work 💪🦺🏗️🚧 🚦🛤️🛤️🚦I love what you do here for model trains. Excellent Presentation. Harold 👍❤
Thank you Harold! And thank you for joining us here every Sunday morning! Loyal viewers like you keep us going!
Awesome CSX Veterans Units Ho scale.
Good overview of the general principles. This is one of the most realistic layouts I've seen. Amazing work.
YESSSS BRO YESSSSSSS😂😂 at 4:19
Those engines look like c@o locos at 13:15
Beautiful .👍❤️
Hello. Great show you all have an awesome setup of this amazing layout. Glad to watch this. Sorry i missed the live chat i was out on Sunday for The New York City Transit Museum R 1 to R 9 1930's vintage 🚇 subway cars holiday train Sundays. Thanks for making model railroading fun. Harold 👍🚦🛤️🛤️🚦
Awesome 👍 Always remember to wear eye protection goggles.🤣
So cool, can you get a video closer well he’s welding ?
That looks so cool ❤
outstanding
thanks great ops
Great layout, the one downside for me, was the modern railroad with 1950-1960 vehicles😳
Maybe there was a region-wide car show!
While I am closer than before, this would work well for me with my ProtoThrottle. PT makes switching and even mainline fun.
That's really cool ! Now all that needs is for the maker's of the trains to buy would fabricate an actual Twisted Looking Ozzy Steam Locomotive with an Ozzy Face on the front of the Steam Locomotive with his mouth open looking scary with that very song playing while it's running down the track Then all that's left to do is simply "TAKE MY MONEY" so I can own one of those myself. And fabricate an entire layout of rolling stock in the Ozzy style hauling stuff like instruments and stage equipment among other things ! ALL ABOARD, HA HA ! \\m//
how does that work
A nice layout, but calling this Parkersburg is a bit of a stretch even with an up to date modeler's license.
thanks well done always very interesting to watch
A really well-done vid w/ lots of action, nice layout w/ realistic scenery. Thanks for posting !!!!!
