    I enjoyed the ops. I really enjoy your layout because this is an area I know quite well. I grew up in Elmira and used to spend a lot of time in the summer up on Seneca Lake. I have lived in Texas for over 20 years now though and can only dream of the cooler summer days. 🤣 Watkins Glen is a great town and you model that area very well.

      I love comments like this! I practically grew up in Seneca Lake, but moved South in 1989. Went to school in Watkins. It is a magical place in the Summer. Not so much in the Winter ❄ 🥶. Take care! Bill.

    Has the FGLK used borrowed NS power to do the Watkins run? I like that eye graffiti. You see that all the time in the Binghamton area.

      IRL, I doubt it. (Everytime I see IRL I think Indy Racing League.) The eyeball started out in Syracuse; dude named Vacant. WTC - Wasted Time Crew. I'll message you the link, it's an interesting article from Syracuse.com. Stay cool man! 🥶

      Ha Ha good one! I've got a couple scenery vids coming up. Then back to the ops with my FGLK B23-7 running solo. I REALLY like the sound of that one. Take care - Bill

    0:35 sound effect or real handbrake set ? Either way,friggin cool. Your covered hoppers are beautifully grimy. Those are nice.

    • @MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout

      The handbrake is from TrainCrew, I put a link to them in the description. They've got other sounds you can use to enhance your ops. Thanks for the compliment on the hoppers. They are all individually weathered from photos of the prototype cars. I think that is why they look so good. You can't make this stuff up. Well you can, but it won't look as good 😉

      @@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout Fren, really enjoy your modeling and weathering. How long have you been modeling ? One day,I will be able to capture the prototype look. Real talent that should be admired. If I could give ten thumbs up I would. Please keep us viewers tantalized as time allows. Out.

    Does the green dot on the CLSX cars mean something ?

    • @MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout
      @MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout  3 дні тому

      Hi Bill, per my source that used to work at Cargill Salt in Watkins Glen, the green dot signified food grade salt. Thanks for watching - Take care! Bill.

    If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the yellow switch handles?

    • @MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout
      @MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout  5 днів тому

      Sure! I made them, here's a video - ua-cam.com/video/GHH5WZ3Ycpk/v-deo.htmlsi=JqUTVd9a6ys5Rvqz - I just saw that Alkem Models has some photo etched back saver switch handles in their railings and ladders kit. $35.00. Texas Rail Models made some too, but they are temporarily out of stock. Take care!
