Great Video, My Father In law was A yardmaster at the B&O then Chessie Railroad in Columbus Ohio Parsons AVE. He took us on a tour all the time. The turnstyle Would Turn The engine from eastbound to westbound. Refuel and go. In a model this is turning the engine 180 deg. So i was Shorting my system on DCC? You enter on the right side positive in respect to the engine after 180 deg turn the engine is leaving on neg on right side.? I can talk live Trains forever but Thank You and all your viewers.

how true is that, prototypical and people will tear it apart, make it fictisious and it's the best layout going. this is a very nice tour. and looking good. one thing I wish walthers would do. and other companies. do programing videos with the different controllers, like NCE, Digitrak, so on. start with NCE, lol, I know some one who uses that. I am having a hard time with the controller that comes with it, wow for advanced.
sparky107107 Yes Spark, as you know I'm a prototype modeler, and I do take a little heat for my craziness and obsession to the detail. However, I have a target to reach for, it's because a measuring stick exists to meter my successes or failures. But I'll take that as I have that defined target to target my vision. I have nothing but respect for all modelers regardless of what inspires the, be that the desire for an exacting replication of a piece of the world and the piece of history I'm trying for, or if that's some feeling driven by your own imagination. I would encourage anyone to disregard any fear of fellow modelers opinion and do whatever, however as you are inspired too. Remember, it's YOUR hobby, YOUR time and money invested, and ONLY YOU that has to be pleases and satisfied with your results and your layout. So I personally will take anyone's opinion, praise, or criticism, and I get better for much of it, but it doesn't drive me, change my inspiration, nor dissuade my "crazy" commitment to reach the vision that inspires me to reach for replication over invention of theme. All I suggest is, it's yours, but if you have a clear vision, either directly and exacting from the real world or by the creative invention of your own freelance vision, that vision helps you have a vision that the only judge of your efforts that measuring against matters, that is are you happy with it? That's the only true measure of success in our hobby. With that, I can say I am with my efforts, while not perfect, they continue to improve, in no small part to our community, and this fellow should be happy with his efforts, freelance or not, his work is beautiful.
Rest in Peace John Tews, Master Model RRer and inspiration to hobby community
The Timber River RR must be a subsidiary of the S.P. RR ! Haha . Nice job , I like it ! David
This beyond awesome layout! He should win grand prize for this model railroad layout 😉💯
Nice video and thanks for the tips on installing/detailing the turntable pit and roundhouse area
Always like to listen to a person that has the knowledge and a passion about the topic at hand. I also like trains. ;) Thank Mr. Tews.
Very informative! Just today got my 110 TT. And this video will help me a lot during the installation. 👍
Good to see this layout still in operation!! I remember first seeing his layout in an episode of Tracks Ahead on PBS in the early 90’s.
I had the same issue with screwing the turntable down with thick benchwork. So I used your tip and it worked great!
I've been to his layout several times and it is an incredible railroad to operate on, I have a few videos of my own showing his layout on my channel
Hmm you gave me some ideas! I have the Walthers 130' turntable. By the way awesome layout!
That’s awesome, I hope someday to have something that nice, great job
Ive been to where they said this layout was in realife, pretty cool to see it in miniture
Excellent turntable demo.
• Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
this turntable looks fantastic
You spin me right round

Thank you! Can the turntable turn a loco around 180 degrees so as to reverse the dirction of the locomotive?

Is It compatible with the Marklin 3-rails ?
That's great. I have a question, how do engines work with a keep alive installed.
Ted Beach with electric current
@@markframe4047 I think he wants to know how it keeps sound through the dead area in the turntable.
With a keep alive that works for any longer than 10 seconds the locomotive should keep sound through the dead area
Nice one. Where is John's railroad located (what town/city) and does he hold open houses.? Thanks and super video........Thanks.
