Thank you for viewing and for your kind comments! I’m glad I was able to make this video: the building in which this model RR is located was damaged by flood waters, and the club has been disbanded. 😢. Unlikely the RR will continue to operate.
Great job, glad you made us look good with editing as we scratched our heads trying to figure out how to get the 543 together and out of there at Claremore.
Randy's Rock and Roll Railroad Mccarter Thank you! This club has been around a long time - since 1992, and I wanted to be sure to capture it while I could.
I remember seeing this on Google Maps, but it brought me to an under construction building, with one of it's walls missing. I believe I was misdirected and I would like to visit this place. Could you please e-mail me the address? If you do, it will be much obliged, Steve
Cool! I sometimes visit Afton which is the west end of the Ft. Scott sub. Of course, things are a LOT different in Afton today than it was in 1955. At least one grain business is still there!
Throttle control is horrible. I don't know what kind of layout your running, perhaps better control isn't possible. Otherwise, good job boys. Looks like you folks have a great time. Layout looks nice too. Thanks for sharing.
Have seen more realistic sessions than this one to be honest: passing some red lights, unrealistic accelerations in Afton, really unrealistic and probably by hand instead of by loco, these railway bills laying in the lay out and interruptions like for the Santa Fe passenger train. Sorry guys your layout looks so good but this performance just doesn't satisfy!
Some people are more serious operators than others. If you want to see more serious/prototypical operation check out some of my KCS 3rd sub videos, like ua-cam.com/video/P79qJgY3gg4/v-deo.html, or the ATSF Hereford Sub: ua-cam.com/video/7IJCH8pF3xY/v-deo.html Also that C&S railroad was built in 1996 and the CTC system doesn't work all that well: signals drop to red, and it isn't DCC so smooth speed control is hard to achieve. I do appreciate your watching and your taking the time to comment!
Yes, they do. Some of it is just plain running too fast. Another issue is, this is a fairly old model railroad, built in 1996. It isn't DCC, it uses an analog control system called Rail Command. While we do our best to keep the track clean, people tend to run a bit fast to make sure they don't stall. Sadly this railroad is no more. I'm glad I got to capture it on video before it was too late!
Is golf, pool, bat-chi ball, putting puzzles together, any more believable? I think it's cool. It's a social event with a theme. It's a better world with stuff like this going on.
Wonderful: my criticism would be related to 'everything,' being in pristine new condition, as in there is no aging, no weathering, no rust, no oil, grease, no graffiti on anything - and if anyone is a rail fan, they we/they know that the REAL RRs are covered, smeared in grease/oil/rust, spillage. I love the CONTROL system - and, oh yes, and someone here has laid down the law to these race car converts to train control - to keep speeds realistic. I have seen many million-dollar RRs and the engineers must be Mario Andretti want to bees - very unrealistic. I love this video. Thank you.
Great job Steve and crew. I miss the Tulsa modelers scene, lots of talented modelers and great layouts.
Thanks Ryan! I hope you’re doing well running the 1:1 scale. I miss operating with you and hope you’re doing well.
very enjoyable to watch and ride along not a lot of yapping and people having fun running trains
Great operation video plus excellent video editing. Thanks for sharing.

@@TTownTrainFan I am sorry to hear that. I hope yall where able to salvage some of your equipment.
@@TTownTrainFan That's bad to hear!
@@davestrains6816 So far, not so good. Thank you for your comments though.
@@tonderen1615 Thanks. This was a club layout and it lasted almost 20 years so it had a good run.
Great job, glad you made us look good with editing as we scratched our heads trying to figure out how to get the 543 together and out of there at Claremore.
You were SWAMPED at Claremore - I don't see how you could make a MOVE there!! Thanks for being such a great sport :-)
Steve Davis it takes a good operator to handle Claremore on its worst days. Last time I ran there was pretty bad.
Nice operating session! Zack seems like a pretty cool guy.
This vid was awesome! Great job guys.
thank you for sharing fantastic
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I am modelling 1957, but not easy to find that rolling stocj at Buenos Aires
I'll bet! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing, enjoyed it

Great Job Steve!
Thanks!
hummm the first run went through a few red lights...lol

I live in the area and would love to check out this layout
It has been open to the public and operated every month, the second Saturday, but sadly due to the summer floods, it is closed indefinitely now.
Wow I railfan the Fort Scott Sub!

Steve Davis cool! I railfan the middle of it I think.

nice Ops !!!
Thanks! Sadly this club is no more. So glad I was able to capture the operation on video for posterity.
Nice layout. Waaaay too fast operations though. Slow down, enjoy the ride.
I agree it was too fast. 👍😎
Is the club still active. I may be in the area 5/2 and would like to visit
Sadly, it was ruined in a flood and is no more. 😢
@@TTownTrainFan bummer! Hope you guys could salvage some things

Wow jack rabbit starts. Yards speeds excessive.
True. The primary problem is ancient Rail Command analog control system. It isn’t DCC. Sadly this RR is no more.
It's Mr. Zack. Yikes!

I will build Jack fish cure Ontario n scale lake superior. Candian Pacific 1950.ad
I don't know how this popped up on my you tube but I can not believe grown adults do this. Dear god!
