Love those multi colored hoppers! The realism is killer! 90s era, is the time! Lol! Thank you for sharing
While it's not what I'm going after, the 90s were kind of the end of mainline interesting equipment with variety. We didn't know how good we had it.
Thank you for sharing.👍
You're welcome!
That bicentennial car is spiftacular and I did a similar thing in my layout but in reverse got 80/90s train running on my layout set in present day!!!!
Awesome. It's too cool of a car to ignore.
I always look forward to your updates, Ray. Great track work!
Thanks!
The nand built switches are awesome, you achieved a lot of reliability, super job!
Thank you!
Nice job Ray. Nice job. And those hand laid turnouts? Awesome. I tried hand laying turnouts one time and failed miserably. Even had all the Fast Track tools. So now I have been slowly changing out my Atlas Code 83 #6's for the new Walther's #6's. Really like them. Keep up the great work.
I see the new walthers has the solid points. I bet they're nice, long as the frogs are repeatably good. If I didn't need so many, I'd consider going this route. Thank you for the kind words!
Lookin' good Ray.🤗 The changes that you are making in Engine Service really make sense, and the diesel shops could also make a nice screen in front of the branch line. I love 2-10-2s, but that 0-8-0 is really nice - especially the way you play Rachmaninoff on the chimes!🚂Lawrence
Agreed on the view block. The shop buildings are big, so, you won't see behind them till you walk over. Inside that little loop of track climbing the grade is going to be a typical western pa farm.
Awesome train. Tangent makes amazing models. Nice video.
Most everything I have is long out of production stuff from the 80s, so that car definitely stands apart on another level.
Well done Ray.
Thank you sir. Still following your build, some awesome stuff gong on
Thank you. You motivated me
Must be a lot of satisfaction to building your own turnouts.
It is. Just.... time consuming. I literally subscribed to your channel yesterday. Love it. Can't wait to see that oil refinery progress.
@@bessemerlakeerieinhoscale6061 Thanks! I'll be following along with yours as well!
Another great update, Ray!
I agree with you completely about the Fast Tracks turnouts. They perform better than anything on the market. Interesting about cutting your own ties. Weren't you 3-D printing them for awhile?
Thanks Mark! Yes, I was printing them. But I can laser them much faster, cheaper, and without the mess. The end result takes paint better. I'm printing smokebox doors these days. That staging yard under Casper made my back hurt just watching you, well done!!
@@bessemerlakeerieinhoscale6061 LOL! Thanks!
Thanks for the update, the layout is looking great. Who made the SD18?
It's a resin shell from someone..... I forget the name.... they make all kinds of resin stuff. My motor car came from them too. It's on a old proto sd7 chasis which isn't the right trucks, but good enough for me. It's powered, no sound, no lights because I knew it'd only ever be a mid unit.
If there’s one thing that I want to try and do is to try and re-create the Bessemer in O scale unfortunately, there is very few Bessemer items
Champ made a whole bunch of decals....you might be able to find some at auctions ....MTH made RTR stuff.....a lot of BLE
@@user-lq4mo8dw1p good idea
Nothing wrong with "hand of god" moments.
I like this..... :: booming voice:: "I uncouple you!"
