I made a few mistakes while making the video so sorry for some confusion some people might have but here are my mistakes: -The model train layout outside is G-scale not O-scale -The 5771 (or the train I called Union Pacific) is actually Rio Grande Credit to @a101a6 for pointing these mistakes out to me.
The errors were immaterial. Anyone who has the most cursory familiarity with model railroading would know the outdoor model was in G scale. And for those unfamiliar with models and the various scales and gauges, why should it matter? The locomotives clearly said _"Rio Grande"_ on them, so anyone watching the video who cared at all or who was more familiar than you with railroading in general would spot your error, and the locomotives are yellow which is widely known as the characteristic color of Union Pacific. As far as I can see _(and I can see the sun quite clearly which is 93 million miles away, not to mention the stars at night even further away),_ those mistakes did nothing to detract from an informative and interesting video. It is obvious to all that you are a very nice person with the best of intentions. _(And intent is what's important, especially if you go camping, because if you don't sleep in tent, the mosquitoes will bite you.)_ Simple totally harmless mistakes like this should be kept in perspective, my friend. I recommend viewing them through the wrong end of a telescope, in order to see how small they are. Nice work overall. Namaste. *_"We're all doing what we can"_* ~~ Rev.

Thanks for the notes - as you will see watching my Big Train Tour videos - thry are not perfect - lots of editing issues. Sometimes sound issues. One of these days I'd like to remaster the older episodes.
Sweet! I love the Votaw Engines. I actually helped move them out of the creator, Herbert Votow's basement in the Bear Valley area of Denver, CO (I've worked at the Museum for over 20 years). It was really hard getting them out through his basement window. Thanks for highlighting them in the Thumbnail!
The Votow engines were all made at 1 inch to 1 foot scale if I remember correctly. In addition to the models on display did you know the Museum has at least two more hidden in storage in the main building? There are at least 2 specially constructed benches in the building that actually have additional Votaw engines hidden underneath them.
I have been to this museum. The switcher was not running that day. Too bad. Did you see the buses stink sign on the HO model? Depending on how you ask the question, the largest scale model trains might be at Disneyland. That's narrow gauge track, but they built downscaled versions of standard gauge passenger cars to run on it.
No I didn't see the sign. There was a whole lot of details on the layout so I most of missed it. The Disneyland train (even though I have never seen it in person) I do believe that is much bigger.
Correction's: The garden railway at the Colorado Railroad Museum is G scale not O scale. The 5771 and it's B unit are Denver & Rio Grande Western locomotives not Union Pacific. The models at the end are most likely gauge 3 models, larger than even G scale.
You are so true, I would've never of noticed my mistakes. Thanks for the corrections, it might be hard trying to edit the video by this point but I'll add a pinned comment.
FYI, In the day that steam locomotives were in regular service, the Conductor seldom was in the cab of the locomotive. The only ones there would have been the Engineer and Fireman possibly the head brakeman. The Conductor would have been in the passenger cars or caboose if it was a freight train. Even though the Conductor would be the highest level of authority on the train, the Conductor did not operate the locomotive.

@@ConnerCreatesThingsin the future when covering museums like this ask the people that work at the Museum what scale the track is in and make a note of what they say to put into your script later that way mistakes like this don't happen in the future and you don't need to be corrected in your comment section

Super. I love the Colorado Railroad Museum. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
I live NEAR THERE!

How about the ol' IRS Building?
How can the small train be a point to point if it's on a loop?

Cool video!
There is no actually Two trains in the shed its 491 20 and 346 346 Is down for her rebuild
The conductor is actually a driver or a fireman.
👌
The outdoor is G scale not O. G scale is made for outdoor, been there also very kool. There basement HO is also nice but nothing like Greenly.
Yeah I would have to agree the HO track at Greely was one of my favorites.

Can you do an update on the train layout😊 fellow Conner😊😊😊?
There will be one on its way this summer!

Pikes peak is not the highest mountain in Colorado
And I guess I should have read your comment first , sorry
Don't worry about it. Just goes to show how bad I am at distinguishing different scales ;)
@@ConnerCreatesThingsin the future when covering museums like this ask the people that work at the Museum what scale the track is in and make a note of what they say to put into your script later that way mistakes like this don't happen in the future and you don't need to be corrected in your comment section
That's a good idea! I'll make sure to do that next time.
@@ConnerCreatesThings awesome hopefully next time I run across your content I will be able to see the results of that Improvement
