Thank you sooo much for this! From modeling a real rail to a made up one what matters is the fun you have in doing it all really. My layout too is the same it has no real world basis but its fun.
Very, very informative. Thank you for doing this. I have an elevated DCC (All digitrax) oval with passing and siding, really simple for DCC that I wanted to automate with slowing down and and just parking and next train leaves. My DC layout that is inside my oval has a figure 8 with two sprawling yard in each direction. Fun for controlling when I feel it. I would like to add your layout is amazing. It's built from your imagination from your past collection of memories and that is what really counts. You have your imagination on a physical entity. My layout is a recollection of the yard in the Bronx with a bunch of elevated tracks like the NYC area (no subway cars as for they do not exist in N Scale and if do, they are beyond my budget). It's what makes us and around us happy. The fruits of our labor come to life on a table. Nice work. Again very informative.
Great video! And this is awesome. My first railroad I built after many years of time away from Model RRing was called the Brockway Ogdenville and North Haverbrook. It had a back story and everything. Three cities rebuilding after being swindled out of money by Lyle Lanley. Awesome that you are basing things on the same idea.
Hey, thank you so much! I love when people get the reference. Actually, I was thinking that an ever-burning tire fire would be a nice detail on my layout, and a good reason to build a flickering light LED circuit.
Hi your video is very interesting. You know I also in the middle of the way making JMRI automation. I already successfully install block sensors, servo driven turnouts and, add microswitch sensor in those turnouts to monitor the servo state, and also have some actual signal heads installed. I'm about to move to make a warrant in control panel editor. But I'm confused. Do I have to manually input all the sensors and signal head all over again ? Because when I click the sensor setting for instance it didn't show anything at all. Not like when I make layout in layout panel. Every block sensors, signals etc from my table will shows up. All I hev to do is chose from drop down list. Thanks in advance.
Train automation without a PC ... Now that is model railroading heaven and luckily nowadays that is possible with some of the latest command stations such as the Märklin CS3 handling Routes and shuttling trains as well as maintaining the distance between trains running on the same track and no more PC Programmes and weeks of setting up and head aches of that sort .
Great instructions! I can't wait to try this on the Eagle River Division. I want to automate running of a track cleaning train and it looks like this is the ticket. (former Train Controller user.)
Superbly produced video - great vocal voice-over and enjoyed the content - very relevant to where I'm up to with JMRI and operations, and nice effects too! All in all very cool - subbed and looking forward to the next video! Could I suggest some more demos and how-to's on a few automated runs, perlease?
@North Haverbrook, As I am watching this another youtube channel posted this video in its exact entirety. That an Alt account? Because it looks like someone is already stealing your videos.
Yup, thanks for reminding me. I wanted to make a separate channel for model railroad stuff, but Final Cut was still set to my regular default account. All better now, thanks!
I love the fact you celebrate that it's YOUR railroad. Boom!

Great video and layout. Thanks for posting

Excellent job explaining warrants. Thanks for sharing.

WoW, that an idea I hadn't thought of. Thanks . . .

What's a TC user doing with JMRI? I thought TC was the gold standard and was actively looking at it. The only thing holding me back is the cost!

would be hard to set up a push pull route ? start at one end and finish at another then star over again? ( using 2 or 3 commuter trains ? ) thx
cool never knew you could do this with jmri....
nice vid

No problem. UA-cam can be a ruthless place so I just wanted to make sure.
