THIS IS AWESOME... i never dreamed that i would live to see O gauge two rail as beautifully detailed as we are witnessing here! THANK YOU!
Wow! Awesome scenery & great looking Allegheny Steam Engine 🚂 👍🏼👍🏼
Wow what a layout I thought I was looking at a museum layout superb landscaping this is what model railroaders should strive for.
Unbelievable!my compliments sir
I just became aware of this posting . Beginning in 2009-10 the layout was converted to DCC/NCE radio. All steam engines now have Zimo decoders and all diesels have Soundtraxx Tsunami2 4400 decoders. The control system at the time of this video was CTC80, a variation of CTC16. We've been having op sessions twice each month since the late 1980's.
Your railroad ranks way up at the top of reliable, beautiful, challenging model railroads. You are a great friend and a most hospitable host. I thoroughly enjoyed the early operating sessions in the late 1980's and early 90's.
Do I still hold the inauspicious record as "First to Put an Allegheny into The Turntable Pit at Hinton"? Well it didn't actually go ALL the way into the pit, just the front set of drivers.
Good to see the C&O is still operating.
@@glennfoster2423 Hi Glenn
It's good to hear from you after these many years. You are not the last to put an engine in the turntable at Hinton. In fact, one infamous night I did it! Since the JSVideo I've converted to DCC with sound in all engines. Steam engines have Zimo and diesels have Tsunami 2 4400s. I need someone to make a video of the current railroad. We're still having fun but the crew is quite different from the crews you remember. If you ever get back here be sure to contact me.
Gorgeous!
Thank you so much for showing the trackplan to help understand where the trains are coming from and going to!
An absolutely spectacular layout and I love the fall time frame. Thanks for sharing this.
A masterpiece layout and a jewel of a video production. Superbly narrated wit time period music. I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Your video is a must see for clubs producing their own videos as a how it's done tool. Well done sir!
Thanks you for your kind words. Glad you like our Videos.
brilliantly and of course just beautifully shot... i am not surprised that JS is not a grad of film school but genius nonetheless and so musically TASTEFUL and fills me with a tearful melancholy! oh the joy of tristesse in memory of the past!!!!!! thanks again... arthur (Ngai)
O Scale two rai! yes!! BEAUTIFULLY ENGINEERED, BEAUTIFULLY PLANNED & CONCEIVED, BEAUTIFULLY AND MASTERFULLY BUILT WITH SUCH AN EXCESS OF WONDER AND AMAZEMENT... WOW DO I REMEMBER THIS... GORGEOUS, INGENIOUS WONDERFUL. THANK YOU.
Absolutely awesome layout! Glad I found this today!
What a gorgeous layout and so life like just a Awesome Layout and trains 🚆 thanks 4 sharing
Your show brought back some memory's.
Beautiful Layout !!! I’m a big C&O fan !!! My fav railroad !!👍
Absolutely a lifetime achievement really an extremely well planned layout and the video is great quality
I love everything that I have seen here today, for it reminds of old Baltimore where the trains would pass under Baltimore and still do today. Steam, coil steam and diesel, in old Greek town on 24 th and 25 th streets. I love everything that you have put on here. Old Master Gunnery SGT USMC.
Beautiful layout and wonderful camera work.
Interesting to learn how much kitbashing and original construction you did on the locomotives and other items - and that's the beauty of this hobby, IMHO.
Each undertaking, - be it researching the area and industries one wants to model, in order to be close to authentic, scenery planning, building and development, putting together a great track plan, creating original structures, tweaking, or kitbashing locomotives - all of this versitility, is such a rewarding and pleasantly learning experience. It is ALL, basically, an artistic experience. So much darn fun!
I sold my massive collection of N-scale trains in 1994 and it is one of the few life-regrets I have. I had started collecting in 1970. I sorely miss the hobby.
As a Southern Pacific man who is just getting into 2 rail o scale at 21, I hope someday my own layout can be half as great as yours.
A fun layout to operate on, Jim is a great person.
is he still alive ?
The best model railroad video I've seen so far!! I love how you described everything and the music was Awesome!! Thank you for such a great video. I'm a N scale man but I love all trains. Thank you for this video
Thanks for the flowers. The text is actually spoken by the builder of the layout.
@@JSVideoUTube Could not agree more about this awesome model railroad with the superb video and scenery/ details so realistic. I model CR in HO circa August 1977.
This is beautiful layout! When it was constructed 2-rail 0-gauge was actual modeling compared to 3-rail trains from Lionel. In 2024 the top 3-rail models are very close to being actual models. 1/4 inch scale (1/48) is a recognized general scale. HO and other rail scales except 1/2" scale (1/24) is not that supported outside the model railroad hobby.
1/2 inch scale is the minimum sized scale considered museum display quality and its physical dynamics are close enough to pass for actual film use for modeling the rail trains, but besides being expensive they require a warehouse size building and chasing after the trains, typically run on gauge-3 track 2-1/2 inch track. The choose of what scale for a rail to model, build, run and collect will likely always be a dilemma.
I remember the actual Hinton WV passenger train station area when John Carrier and I, both of us out-of-state engineering students at WV Tech him civl me EE, Montgomery WV, rail fans and exploring visited Hinton about 1984. The passenger train station still had passenger car holding tracks with many rail yard steam heat piping connections visible. I imagined the scene of sub freezing temperatures and these tracks full of passenger cars with condensed steam rising all around them from their leaking yard steam connections.
I wondered if the yard steam connection system was just to keep the passenger cars fully heated and ready or if sleeper cars with passengers might be held and picked up by passing passenger train in the early morning so people could go to bed at a normal time. I thought there most have been a large rail yard steam boiler somewhere to supply this network and people to man it. Even today having a luxury sleeper car compartment available after 6 pm for train pickup after midnight would seem ideal for certain situations. A lot of people would likely show up about 10 pm bed down by 11 pm and the train car would be picked up at 2 - 4 am. Amtrak might still do that for the Cardinal for 3:30 AM pickup in Cincinnati.
In that period likely 1984 the only regular passenger train was the three times a week Amtrak Cardinal. Now in 2024, forty years later, the Cardinal is still the only regular passenger train service along this route and still runs only three times a week. From watching video of personal travel logs the rails through the area have improved in ride quality since I rode the Cardinal when going to WV Tech. The heritage coach cars were jarring to ride in. I spend most of my ride in the Amfleet lounge car which was much more rigid chassis and advanced suspension in dealing with the rough rails.
Nice run section👍🏻, Love the layout
WOW, this is AWESOME!!!! You must have hours of fun and relaxation in that Train/Layout Room. Enjoy!
Wow this is so cool being as a girl in the 50s got to see the change from steam to diesel at the C&O yard and roundhouse in Plymouth, Michigan. Plymouth also had 2 stations 1 for east/west the other for north/south travel.
One of the great Ones..
One hell of a railroad!
Excellent
wonderful
That Allegheny sounds like a hit and miss engine.
Having great fun watching you run.- 20 C As close as ill get to a run on my garden layout for afew days ...
This is one layout that inspired me so much!
That is awesome
My brother for we have many things in common as how we where broth up, love you , Old Master Gunnery SGT USMC. Always To God and Country, Simper Fidelis.
Living in the WSS area this layout is spot on as far as looks go!!! Is the layout still in existence??? How great would it be to see it!!!! Thanks
Whoa you have a Lionel C&O Hudson cool!
Great looking models, and a great looking / running layout! I always drooled over Jim's C&O locomotives, when they were featured in Model Railroader Magazine!
I joined the C&OH.S. in January of 1977, and I
Obviously, I commented before the cab ride at the end!
Bravo!!!!!
Wow!!
🙌🏼
I would love to run an extra on that layout.
Your layout is absolutely magnificent. All of those trees mountains rivers yards ect are so realistic it makes me want to live there. Plus the birds tweeting and nature is awesome. But the sound kit in that steam loco has to go brother. It's terrible even hard to listen to. It sounds like a model A what blew out a spark plug.
Does this layout still exist? I would love to see a cab ride video of this spectacular layout!!!
I only took the video. To my knowledge the Layout still exists.
@@JSVideoUTube Yes, It still has operating session every couple of months. It's in the Kansas City area.

Awesome video! If you happen to know, what’s the background music that plays when they show the M-1 turbine? It starts around 22:56
The Title is "Home on the range". It is from the CD PBTM vol 23 I purchased years ago supposedly containing license free music, which unfortunately turned out to be untrue.
@@JSVideoUTube do you know the artist by chance? I’m trying to find the song on UA-cam.
@@jaymz5267 Unfortunately there are no references to the artists.
@@JSVideoUTube fair enough, but there sure are some quality shots of that M-1 and L-1 Hudson. I thoroughly enjoyed the video.
Some people have waaay too much money.
Would love to see a track plan.
You can see the track plan at time code 19:50 courtesy of Kalmbach Publishing Co.. The track plan was published in the November 2000 issue of Model Railroad Magazine
@@JSVideoUTube thanks! Didn't get that far into the video yet. Beautiful layout!
Too bad the video resolution is only 480p, it would have looked great in 1080p.
At the time when the Film was made, 1080p did not exist. It was either 24i or 30i and this with a SONY professional DVCAM Camera that was the top at the Time.
is it still around ?
I do not know for sure. I believe he is but recent attempts to contact him failed.
Yes, we're still operating twice each month.
Does an Allegheny sound like that? What is it that makes that sound in real life
As I'm not the builder / owner of the Layout I can not answer with certainty. Since the video was taken in 2000 and the sound quality / correctness at that time was not so great I believe it is a generic sound of an articulated engine. Today one could get the correct sound for large current decoders. (ESU + ZIMO for example)
@@JSVideoUTube I did suspect that it may be due to an early decoder, thanks.
To dam slow that needs to be going faster
That's ho not oscale
It is O Scale.
There is a type of O scale that runs 2 rail. MTH, Atlas, and brass importers made most of the 2 Rail friendly items.
It's a shame that that "real" trains don't run on THREE-RAIL tracks...and NEVER did....
This is not a 3 rail layout but a 2 Rail DCC layout.
@@JSVideoUTube well, after paying a little more ATTENTION, I now see my error! I was "blinded" by the term "0 gauge" 😎 so sorry about that!
Never liked this layout. Scenery looks unrealistic bushy. But one can't please everyone.
I'd say the layout is realistically bushy, because of its prototype. West Virginia is bushy, covered with dense forests, from my firsthand experience of the area. It is a faithful reproduction of its prototype and not designed as a free-lanced protoype. The article in the Nov 2000 issue of Model Railroader on Jim Eudaly's greatly inspired my layout endeavour. Maybe I should have chosen October too as the season. ua-cam.com/video/juZuoGew7xg/v-deo.html
@JSvideoUA-cam - Who is the manufacturer [company; LIONEL, MTH, or 3rd Rail] of the ALLEGHENY Steam Engine?
And the other trains used in this video?
