Timetables and Train Orders Made Simple for Narrow Gauge
Dave Adams outlines how to create and use Timetables and Train Orders. He simplifies things so these can be used with basic forms commercially available, or you can create your own. You can use them with or without a fast clock.
This is part of an ongoing series of presentations on operations.

The Madoc and North Hastings Railway in On3
Переглядів 8689 годин тому
David Woodhead presents his detailed scenes of the area in the Canadian Shield of Ontario set in the 1890s. He calls his modeling "informed freelancing" as many of the scenes really pull the viewer in. David has a very relaxed style as he describes the logic of each scene and how he created it. It is not a particularly large layout, but reflects the time he spent making each scene "just right".

    Very nice. I like the re-use of the older models, and even entire parts of a layout, not only to enrich your creation, but also to preserve them. Your wide sources of inspiration really highlight how easily something from one region can be used in another, and yet not seem out of place. Thanks for your story.

    Another great presentation from Dave. I like his Dispatcher Train Sheet. I operate my Floresta Branch in much the same way. I do use a fast clock for Station Register arrival and departure time as well as timing station stops for passengers and LCL freight. Thanks to everyone involved in putting these presentations on.

    I like the slides I've seen so far. I am not modeling Colorado Narrow Gauge. What I am doing is freelancing an Homage to the Kansas Central, a North East Kansas Narrow Gauge that ran in 3 foot gauge between 1871-72 and 1891-92 when it was widened to standardard gauge.

    Al is a fantastic master modeler. I was bummed when I heard of Al Judy’s passing a few weeks ago. His level of detail and techniques is astonishing. I could study each and every scene for hours to see and learn from the master. Beautiful job! Thank you for sharing your model railroad and knowledge.

    Nice layout. It looks fantastic. I always had a soft spot for narrow guage like this. I used to model in 1/4" scale decades ago. It's a fantastic scale for sure. I also knew Tom Beaton when he lived in Surrey. I remember his small ON3 Logging layout with the switchbacks, etc. It was beautiful and he was a great modeler. Cheers.😁

    It looks like they used apple to do their presentation, being able to use the “laser pointer,” and I really appreciate that. I always want to see MORE PHOTOS and fewer slides of text. I always want more feel of the actual layout. The prototype feel is important, but I want to see how it sits as a layout too and how one place goes into another. Again, thank you for the laser pointer! Bravo all around.

  • @StephaneParent-z4c
    @StephaneParent-z4c 7 місяців тому

    This is GREAT, maybe especially for me! I am an On30 modeller, and I also model Northern Ontario. My layout is loosely based on the former CN Kinghorn Sub as well as the Nipigon tramway in Northwestern Ontario (where I live). Living in this area, and modelling a minority scale/gauge, I feel isolated in my hobby.... but this video is SO INSPIRING!!!!

    In 1957, 58 I used to catch a rash from a couple of my fellow railroaders about keeping my ballast unglued... Where the hell were you when I Needed You!!!... It's 2024 and I'm finally validated!!!...😂 It was American Flyer S gauge for me back then. Didn't catch HOidis until late '59 early '60. Absolutely the finest I've seen... I'm seriously considering S scale today... All battery powered no Track voltage. Great stuff, thanks for posting.

    Your model of Uintah # 50 mallet is INCORRECT your model is # 51 the Locomotive built as the Second Uintah Mallet not the first : ( and The two Uintah mallets sold to Sumpter valley RR had the Side Tanks removed and Tenders added . Although initially they kept the side saddle tanks to improve locomotive Weight , but eventually removed them on both #250 and #251 . Beautiful pilot models are exquisite none the less . I Own both #50 and # 51 ON3 scale by GOM NJ Custom Brass models . they are SPECTACULAR in detail . Built way back in the 1970s Finest Brass locomotives I have ever seen . I have been collecting Brass locomotives for over 62 years . Cheers ~
