You guys have a tremendous amount of talent in your group and it certainly shows! The level of realism is obvious and you have a right to be very proud of your results! If I'm ever out your way, I would look forward to seeing your amazing work! I wish you all the very best in the future! Thanks for your great videos, they're a great inspiration!
Very nice layout. Your hopper wheels need cleaning. I use a paper towel and WD-40 on a scrap piece of flex track running the car over and over until clean.
Godday, this is a great layout, incredibly beautiful scenery and extremely detailed. I'm just missing one thing, and that's a voice that, along with the text on the screen, reads out and tells a little about the landscape you drive through. It would make your video much more alive instead of just hearing the sound of the locomotive. I'm sure I'm not the only one who misses this.
those are Walthers RD4 class hoppers boxed in packs of 6 that were released a few years ago. I managed to find them from individual sellers on ebay here and there. I wish they would release more! They are awesome and run great!
Its all HO scale, however, yes there is a small section that is N scale which we tried to simulate as being a narrow gauge line through the mountains compared to the HO line.
Not all trains do, depends on the commodity they are hauling. Coal is actually low on the priority list unlike the old Tropicana Juice train which was expedited to the northeast and was only held in sidings for Amtrak! Enjoy your fresh glass of orange juice sir! Thanks for watching.
I do suggest watching our very first 2 videos which is both a short and long detailed tour of the entire layout. Plus as we progressed further through each of our videos, you will be very familiar about how our layout is structured. Thank you for watching!
That is 1 of the challenges we face being a "club" layout". We run our prototypical operating sessions using equipment that matches the era. Rest of the time, its "free running" meaning the club members run their personal owned equipment as you see here in the video. The club member who models CSX makes our videos, so what you're seeing is his equipment.
not always. Coal trains do have points where they are held until needed. A great example is CSX's West Jacksonville Yard. Both coal and rock trains are staged there until needed at their destinations further south.
Oh, come on! I thought this was real for the first minute! I dont know how much of an artist it takes but, wow. This is spectacular!
haha gotcha!

Nicely done 👍🏻

Thanks for the tips!
Very nice coal train. Where did you get the hoppers?

@@centralfloridarailroadmodelers thank you for the info
Awesome. Wish I was there in person. Is that a bit of N Scale on the top there at Blue Ridge 15:24 or do my eyes deceive me?
Its all HO scale, however, yes there is a small section that is N scale which we tried to simulate as being a narrow gauge line through the mountains compared to the HO line.
Awesome!
Are is the coal loaded into the hoppers?
Scaletrains gevos love my Scaletrains ❤
What model is that locomotive
Unit trains always have top priority over other trains.

Coal and grain trains are usually on the bottom of the priority list now. Manifests, stack, and oil trains are the highest priority
It would be nice to have a layout tour to better understand what your doing.

@@centralfloridarailroadmodelers cool video of 2 CSX tier 4 Gevos coal train
Wow, I love the layout, but I just can't get past the fact that the vehicles don't match the train era.

You do not change power or stop Unit trains. They run through to and from their destination without delays.
