So far that is looking good. I can tell you that I've had a couple of points pop off the throw-bar as well and mine aren't narrow gauge. - Jason

Very Nice Dennis.🤗❤ She's a Beauty! . . . . 🚂Lawrence

Everything you’ve made, works, Dennis. 😁👍🏼

Are you sure you want to eliminate part of the turnout? It's going to limit operations or expansion in the future. It's your call, but I would reconsider this.

Thanks for the info Dennis Great idea on the turnout play list Should be helpful for a lot of modelers Keep up the great work

You broke your wand again ?🙃

Looking good Dennis.

Interesting 🤔

Indeed, it is very interesting that you run a dual gauge on your model. The finished turnout looks amazing.

Great build of a great kit. Thank You Love Campbell kits. Unfortunately not too many builds on UA-cam for novices to learn from . Hope you do more!!!

Love it man! The music was spot on too. It's so hard to do a op session video short. Mine will be 30mins lol can't wait for more. Watched the whole thing!

Dennis, is the peninsula you originally planned as roaring fork built already? Great job on this section of benchwork.

Hi Dennis, I’m sure that you built your benchwork square and the wall is forcing the problems at the front, so I think the easiest and most practical way to fix it is to shim the back where it meets the wall. The other issue could be resolved by joining the two types of track before it goes under the top. I’m sure that you will figure it out. The only suggestion you ever took of mine was the numbering of the towns to number the trains, so we know it will be thought through by you and you will come up with the perfect solution. I’m really enjoying your build and look forward to what you decide.

Hey Dennis things are looking good. It would be nice if you did something to run your standard HO otherwise what would you do with them ?

if the dual gauge start to go downhill just after the timesaver could it duck under the narrow gauge before getting to the far side of hell gate? guess it would be close but you at least don't need room for double stack containers. have the narrow gauge on a embankment and the dual gauge in front with the terrain sloping down could look nice

Hi Dennis. Wow, I had to watch this video several times to fully digest your problem with the Timesaver and Hell Gate I agree with extending the dual gauge track because what you already have laid on the Timesaver does not look abandoned but in daily use. What really concerns me is the area between the Timesaver and Hell Gate. It is a little hard to see just how long that area is in the video but it appears to be somewhat short. I am concerned about how are you going to be able to do the scenery transition between them. Other wise another great video.😄

Hey Dennis, would it work to merge the low-line and the dual gauge before entering a single tunnel, and then split them again under the mountain? ..and change the narrative to suit?🤔 That way you could still have the dual gauge staging track(s) and a runaround track coming back from the same turntable, all under cover of the scenery - no one would ever know🤗 ('cause we wouldn't tell 'em!). . . . . . 🚂Lawrence?

You have every woodworking tool known to mankind. Why couldn’t you plane the board down flush at the offending end?

Amazing layout, love the olden days appeal, thanks for sharing

For the section of 3 rail your wanting to hide Instead of making a tumble why not build a fake tunnel portal out of some model wood or popsicle sticks and paint/weather them to make them look old and similar to an old mine entrance. Then to kinda of hide it add overgrown trees/brush and detail the tracks closer to the tunnel overgrown and in disuse

Wow Dennis gezz your just kicking butt on your Masterpiece, Oh that overhang Id just cut furring strips to make the facial come out right hope to see you Saturday my friend awesome work as usual❤

Looking good, Dennis. Remember, layouts don't give us problems, only challenges and opportunities. Or something like that. 😀😀

Dear Dennis, on the bowing wall behind the time saver section; maybe it seems a bit more work, but why not change out those lateral stringers with ones which alleviate for the bow in the wall and make the front of your fascia completely straight. Think you’re right on track with the hell gate base lowered at about 2”. Just from the viewing angle in the vid such a lower approach will indeed help tie the sections together in a more smooth way. Love the temporary spline configuration, those curves definitely look great, can only imagine what they will look like when fully sceniced. Surely, such an alignment will create a great deal of visual interest. Looking forward to seeing your progress in next episodes. Cheerio

Dennis, couldn't you shim the benchwork under the timesaver from the wall with some 1X4 blocks, to give you space to make facia even? Great update video. Looking Great. Keeping a functional dual gauge track would be ideal. 3 rail looks so cool.

interesting vid Dennis, enjoyed it :)

Can't wait to play with the complete setup

Dennis, wife and family watching, while having dinner

Battery isn’t dead yet, but soon

When Model Railroading there Is No Certain time you have To Run Trains Run When You want.

Out of the Frying pan and into the fire… it’s the only way to see if it works. I think that was a great success and the layout is really coming together. Great job, Dennis.

Hey, it’s summertime. Spend some time with your family go on vacation, trains are for the non-summertime.

Just a question. Where did you find your back drops?

The flow of the track work is sensational! You’re really going to enjoy this layout.

Stupendous layout I have to say

Hey, Dennis, I thoroughly enjoyed the Ops Session. Looks like a lot of fun, and I think it's a good thing to be able to operate while still building the layout. And I love that RGS 41. Is that brass?

I enjoy watching your videos. There is something that I noticed in a previous video and also in this one. I do not know if anyone has mentioned this previously. The west bound train coming from the east is entering Frying Pan from the back side of the wye. If so, then North should be to its right (left when viewed from the front of the bench work) and South should be to the left (right when viewed from the front of the bench work).

That was fun to watch!!

Hey Dennis. It's your railroad, operate it as you see fit. I think this operating session went extremely well. Great job.

First time I have seen your show. What Brand are the Locomotives. I am wanting to model the Rio Grande, #478 specifically.

It’s nice to watch some operations after all the hard work you’ve done so far.

Denis, I think it every time I see a new video of yours, what amazing work you have done and continue to do. Very inspiring! I've been waiting for the day we get a full length operations across your layout and it didn't disappoint! Consider this modeller without mojo, with newly restored enthusiasm. Keep up the awesome work! - James

Nice job Dennis Sort waiting for. Should be really great with multiple operators Any chance to buy some decals so that I can have a car to run on my. Layout Wish you continued success. Chuck

Otter Creek and Rio Grande is a beautiful work of art. Thank you for sharing this operations session.

That train numbering system is genius. Going to use that one

bring my SD'ace over and show you how to run with speed.. lol

This video made my heart happy. =)

Nice Dennis, I sent you a PM on Messenger!

Nice progress Dennis. Do to my room size, my aisles are 30”. It’s not bad. I didn’t want to go smaller, so my benchwork was slightly sacrificed in some areas. I’d love to come operate on this masterpiece some day.
