- A true operations session on a model Railroad that runs just like a real one. May 2017 on the BNSF Fall River Division of John Parkers Railroad. This is one of the top 10 model railroad on this planet.
Awesome video! Love the "play by play"! Looks just like a real railroad operation!
It is real just smaller scale.
Thanks for posting. The video turned out great....
Part III for sure. Working on it now.
I can never uncouple as easy you guys
Keep working on it. Magnets go a long way to making things easier
Great series on John's layout Art. Thanks for sharing!
My gosh the scenery on this layout is gorgeous. Great video Arthur - keep them coming! I could listen to you talk model railroading and operations for hours.
one of the best layout I have ever seen
If I weren't watching this, I would say this is incredible! Absolutely remarkable layout!
Arthur, this is truly one of the great layouts in the land. Thank you for sharing. Your HD camera does a super job. Again I've added this one as the last and probably the next segment to my favorites. Looking forward to segment III. Tom
Such a neat model train layout. I love it.
Great layout and ops session Art. Thanks for posting. I love the road flares. I haven't seen that before.
Extremely nice video, Thanks for sharing!
Stunning!
thanks for showing the video it look like that is a great layout to operate on scan thank
I really enjoy your camera work and commentary.
another great layout
Arthur, you make the best train videos!
That will get you some more videos Thanks.
Such a beautiful layout! Love how your team runs it like a real railroad. You should put a track maintenance crew/tie gang on one of the main lines. Thatd be even more realistic!
😆Another phantastic video, I'm ready for part three......
Done just have to upload, if I start the internet connection is done for about 2 hours. LOL
TOP CLASS.
nice video Art , nice op ...
I like the BNSF modules very nice like the Coal Train's n scenery like the prototype
Awesome layout wish I could see it
He has open house. Did weekend before this and there was 12 inches of snow and had 150 people show up.
I liked the train shed I want one
Amazingly versatile railroad with lots of scenic detail. It has it all; local freight switching, long-distance coal and grain trains, passenger service. That Fall Rivers Amtrak terminal is incredible and passenger operations can be involved and interesting, in their own right.
Good narration - nice and clear (have an acute hearing problem), great camera work.
Neat little things, like the chain link fences, snow sheds and forested area where the coal train wends it's way to Fall Rivers...the elevated trackage, with high, brick walls, in urban areas...
Some of the mainline ties resemble the modern concrete ties used nowadays.
How'd you do that?
Painted them white?
Can you buy track with white ties?
I don't think I've ever seen that on a model railroad before.
Could not agree more. Have had a great time when ever I have operated on it. Has given me great reason to make my own better.
Thank you for your post. This is an outstanding layout. Are there plans for weathering of the layout and rolling stock ?
What an awesome layout, incredible detail. How long did it take to construct it?
Know he is past 10 year in construction.
i would love to have all three of those engines of your coal train...
I did to, so much I when out and got some for my self. ua-cam.com/video/8zzIjqrwq-c/v-deo.html
Where is his layout located, it's amazing! Thanks for sharing - Steve
SoCalBNSF N scale layout layout is North do Denver...
bnsfbuff - very nice, thanks!
Who is controlling the helper units ?? Is it the lead engine or is it controlled by another operator.
Very nice layout , looks like a lot of fun .
The helper have operator. He has to maintain a push on rear.
The helper unit engines are consisted together and have there own operator controlling there speed. Need to keep a push on back of train. Not a prototypical operation like on real railroad. They would MU the engines. Computer would control them.
It appears you are using dcc I thought mu ing engines was an option ??
First three and last helpers are there own consist. You could tie them all together but most times they would not speed match. Then you would have big problems and it creates another job on the railroad. Every decoder and every model engine runs at a different speed to its base settings. You have to get the locos in a consist all running very close to same speed otherwise it will destroy the gears.
how many parts will there be?
Think three hate to go past 30 mins.
On a big layout like this, how many are all powered units an how many dummy units are there? Just wondering!
In most cases including this one and my own 95% are powered. I have some A B A F units were I put sound in the B Dummy unit. Done long time ago. Just does not same any thing to buy full powered units vs dummy units. In the last 10 years not seen dummy's offered.
@@arthurhouston3 I have a 12 x 24 shop that is being wired up for electrical at the moment. I have purchased an additional 6 engines for my 2 NCE Power Cabs, an getting the smart booster 5 amp. How many engines can I run an program on one can unit?
@@christophergalvan8 you run 10 at same time.
@@arthurhouston3 is that with just 1 NCE Power Cab or 10 total using 2 Power Cabs?
@@christophergalvan8 you said you were getting SB 5 . It becomes the command station. Power cab becomes a controller. Get instructions for the SB 5. It has a chip in it. You will have two controller and SB5
I have a BNSF Gevo n Amtrak passenger car's
Would of loved to see the process of loading the coal. BTW, this layout and the operations is awesome! It's like a real life railroad. So is the Amtrak train supposed to be the Empire Builder?
Right around 17 min mark. I have operated on the RR 3 times. ua-cam.com/video/mEPGhVaGAgE/v-deo.html
@@arthurhouston3it's actually at the 13:20 mark you load the coal.
19+ cars need helpers for a train with 3 large locos already pulling? What is that grade?
It one of those model RR things. You have to use your immigration.
OK
On the BNSF Fall River Division, any coal train 18+ cars going up-grade from Kimber to Winston has to have helpers. It is just an added part of operations, most of the staged coal trains have DPU's on the train already. This PSC coal train is an exception that requires the helpers.
Charlie Rumsfeld as it is a model railroad, you won’t have the 100+ long, thousands of tons coal trains. To add a realistic operational perspective to the layout, pretend 18+ cars is a long train. In real life maybe 80 or so
