They’re all connected, so it doesn’t matter. If there are fewer cars behind one engine, its excess power pushes the cars in front. It’s a single system, there are just slightly more locomotives than the minimum needed to pull all the cars.
Well if you add the x and y values minus the z value and add the population of the albino mouse you can get how many cars each engine can pull!🤓🤓🤓🧐🧐🧐🤓🤓🤓
@@pcpug Before considering the phenotypic effects of the so-called albino or c-series of alleles (chromosome 7) it should be emphasized that although albinism is epistatic to all other coat-color determinants, i.e., all mice, regardless of genotype, lack pigment in the presence of c/c ( Plate 2-A), albino mice nevertheless possess a full complement of pigment cells. Thus the inability of albino animals to produce pigment stems not from an absence of melanocytes, as is the case for white spotting, but from a deficiency and/or alteration of the structure of tyrosinase in melanocytes which are otherwise normal. A. Evidence for the Occurrence of Amelanotic Melanocytes Evidence that albino animals possess a nonfunctioning population of melanocytes-appropriately known as "amelanotic melanocytes"-stems from a variety of observations, most of which were made in the mouse. When the hair bulbs of albino mice are examined histologically and compared with those originating from white-spotted areas, they are strikingly different. Whereas the hair bulbs of white-spotted areas are characterized by matrices consisting of regularly arranged cells of equal size, (Figures 3-10 and 3-11), albino hair bulbs contain, in addition, many large "clear" cells in their upper bulb region ( Chase and Rauch, 1950; Silvers, 1956) ( Figure 3-12a). Since these large cells with an apparently hyaline cytoplasm are similar in morphology and location to the pigment-containing cells found in lightly pigmented phenotypes ( Figure 3-12b), they are considered to be amelanotic melanocytes ( Silvers, 1956). Further evidence for this conclusion stems from the observation that the experimentally depigmented melanocytes of black and yellow mice maintained on a biotin-deficient diet are indistinguishable from the clear cells of albinos, though they retain their dopa-positive character ( Quevedo, 1956). Moreover, both clear cells and melanocytes exhibit similar sensitivities to X-rays. Thus, when the skin of albino mice in the resting stage of hair growth is exposed to 1200 r of irradiation, a dose known to destroy almost completely the melanocyte population in resting hairs of pigmented animals ( Chase, 1949; Chase and Rauch, 1950), there is a marked destruction of follicular clear cells ( Quevedo, 1957). This similar radiosensitivity of clear cells and melanocytes, added to the morphological evidence noted above, indicate further that clear cells are in fact amelanotic melanocytes. This conclusion was substantiated again when it was demonstrated that clear cells, like melanocytes, are derived from the neural crest. The neural crest originates embryologically between the junction of the neural tube and its overlying ectoderm and is initially continuous from head to tail. As development proceeds, however, its constituent cells migrate ventrolaterally on either side of the spinal cord and at the same time become segmentally clustered (see Chapter 1, note 3). In the mouse this anterior to posterior and mediolateral migration of neural crest cells, from their place of origin to their definitive positions, takes place between the eighth and twelfth day of embryonic development (the gestation in mouse is about 20 days), as demonstrated in the classic experiments of Rawles ( 1940, 1947, 1953). Thus, by transplanting tissues derived from various regions of C57BL/6 mouse embryos of different ages to the coelom of the chick embryo, Rawles was able to demonstrate that only those explants which included cells of neural crest origin produced melanocytes. She found neural crest cells to be confined to the region of the neural tube in 8.5- to 9-day-old embryos and only when this region was included in grafts of this age did melanocytes develop. By approximately 11 days of age, however, she found that cells of neural crest origin had made their way into almost all regions of the body so that skin ectoderm and adhering mesoderm removed from almost any level of the trunk (but not from the limb buds) produced pigmented hairs when transplanted to the chick coelom. Limb buds receive migrating melanoblasts between the eleventh and twelfth days of gestation and only at this time did limb-bud ectoderm and adhering mesoderm give rise to pigmented hairs. Once this "timetable" for the migratory pathway of neural crest cells was established, and it was substantiated that the melanocytes of pigmented animals were derived from these cells, it was easy to demonstrate that they likewise differentiated into the clear cell or putative amelanotic melanocyte population of albino animals. This was accomplished by showing that hair bulbs in the skin of grafts which differentiated from albino embryo explants possessed clear cells only when the explant was known to contain cells of neural crest origin ( Silvers, 1958c) (Figure 3-13a and d). Indeed, the fact that the hair bulbs of skin known to be deprived of its neural crest component were indistinguishable from those normally originating in white-spotted areas (Figure 3-13b and c) provided the strongest evidence that white spotting resulted from an absence of melanocytes, pigmented or otherwise ( Silvers, 1958c). 10

Great video! I really like this side view of the Ho scale spiral. It gives a different perspective and shows off the details so well. I often explore different model train setups on my channel, and seeing unique designs like this is very inspiring. Keep up the good work!
There's another video on youtube with a similar loop but with no turnouts. That entire loop is filled with the train. (I think it's even connected so the train doesn't have an end?)

This is really quite beautiful! I could see this as an installation in a museum or science exhibit, perhaps behind a soundproof wall to protect the workers from the sound. Great work indeed!
As a confirmed fan of grass growing and paint-drying I can honestly say I sat and watched all of that. I also used to work with computers that had 1/2 inch tape drives like you see in 1960s SciFi and I used to sit, mesmerised, watching them too.
Paulygon Except the 8-track tape is in the opposite direction. The tape is unspooled from the inside and wrapped in the outside. The film projector platter system, however, is in the same direction as this train.
@Paulygon & jerry arnold: Yeah I was thinking something like that, as well --- I figgered the designer of this setup was an 8-track tape aficionado... I grew up with 8-tracks; watching this movie makes me feel sooooooo olllldddddd.... ;)
RaymondHng Nope, film platter systems feed from the center and take up on the outside of a center ring onto a separate platter. Almost just like an 8 track loop.
Big boys alone at home usually get such ideas after the wife has already moved out. This is really great. You should construct it in such a way that all locomotives are next to each other. I am really impressed. 😀
This might _look_ crazy, but I can see some real-world potential for this sort of thing. If you have a train yard with A LOT of one single type of car, you could just build one of these spirals and pull out one car at a time (or even a group of them) as necessary. It would save a lot of space compared to the average size of today’s train yards! You would need an absolutely _astronomical_ number of engines in there to move everything, though, so it could get very expensive very quickly over time.
Imagine standing at the center with a hurricane of trains swirling around you. Also, imagine the deafening sound generated if the model is already this noisy 😅
Now I want to see it with the lead engine re-entering the spiral so that the train keeps endlessly chasing itself. Also, more cars and locos could be added to completely populate the entry spiral and the first 4 turns of the exit spiral.

As a confirmed fan of grass growing and paint-drying I can honestly say I sat and watched all of that.
I also used to work with computers that had 1/2 inch tape drives like you see in 1960s SciFi and I used to sit, mesmerised, watching them too.
On the other hand, this is a good way to show how the inside of an 8 track tape works...

Except the 8-track tape is in the opposite direction. The tape is unspooled from the inside and wrapped in the outside. The film projector platter system, however, is in the same direction as this train.
Just like the old 30-minutes cockpit voice recorder tapes. Nowadays they're using flash cells capable to record up to 2 hours.
And old video cassette surveillance camera systems. Got a good loop of a few hours.
@Paulygon & jerry arnold: Yeah I was thinking something like that, as well --- I figgered the designer of this setup was an 8-track tape aficionado... I grew up with 8-tracks; watching this movie makes me feel sooooooo olllldddddd.... ;)

Nope, film platter systems feed from the center and take up on the outside of a center ring onto a separate platter. Almost just like an 8 track loop.
Almost sounds like it has an applause track.
tryithere , or rain. or chicken on the pan.
tryithere I was hearing a train on tracks... Seriously, a full size train. If slowed down, it might. I just cannot slow it down right now to verify :)
EJumppanen e
tryithere you right hahahaha
I had a headache before watching this video, after watching the video I feel much better

Big boys alone at home usually get such ideas after the wife has already moved out. This is really great. You should construct it in such a way that all locomotives are next to each other. I am really impressed. 😀
I don't know why this appeared on my recommended, but It deserves a like! xD
Kastro44 I don't know why but this comment deserves another like too!

Noooooooo😢😢😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is how problems comes in our life from one end and goes out thru other end... So, don't worry... juz be happy🤗🤗🤗
Oh no....My girlfriend dumped me...I'm gonna go drink some bleach
THE SOUND, My mom think it's raining outside
What amazed me was who has 10 identical loco's and 250 identical wagons lying around but well impressed with the result
I work for the railroad and that is what we do best, go around in circles.
I work on the railroad as well. Back and forth. Around in circles. LOL
Completely insane, but very well done.
There need to be two of these circles, with the train moving back and forth between them.
would like to see where it came from and where it went!!!
the void
where cotton eye joe did
in my ass of course
came from another spiral and went back to it
This is a perfect explanation for why German and Italian trains regularly run late.
Needs a longer train so the last wagon joins the spiral just as the front engine exits.
Andrew Doubtfire I do like that idea, but I actually enjoyed just watching it spin with nothing coming in or out of the spiral for a little bit
IDK how this got in my feed but I can not stop watching it lol
Mom: You should save your money and buy the things you need.
This guy: (buys like $2000 worth of the same traincar)
Mom: (sigh)
Disfigured_Doughnut _YT dude, those things are like $50 each, that’s a shit load more than $2000
@@CrossbuckProductions i didn't know lol. I get a lot of my cars for under $10 and they are decent quality.
I get mine from a local train store usually. Cars aren't that expensive but engines are
He got deep pockets
It worth more than $2000...
Convert every hopper to an artillery cannon and you have created the mobile Big Bertha.
Guy looked at a damn 8 track cartridge and said "I can do that"
Vintage comment!!😁📼
Yes. Except that it is going the wrong direction. An 8 track tape pulls the tape out of the middle and loads it onto the outside. :-)
Or a norewind film projector.
This might _look_ crazy, but I can see some real-world potential for this sort of thing. If you have a train yard with A LOT of one single type of car, you could just build one of these spirals and pull out one car at a time (or even a group of them) as necessary. It would save a lot of space compared to the average size of today’s train yards! You would need an absolutely _astronomical_ number of engines in there to move everything, though, so it could get very expensive very quickly over time.
I would LOVE to see this recreated in the real world, and here you are making practical applications arguments and I appreciate that
Imagine standing at the center with a hurricane of trains swirling around you.
Also, imagine the deafening sound generated if the model is already this noisy 😅
I need someone to do the math on how wide this would be in real life
@@ReblwitoutacauseME TOO!!!
"We'll ride the spiral to the end, and may just go where no one's been "

What is this a reference to?
@@Gabrocol Lateralus by Tool.
Spiral out, keep going
Didn't think l would see a TOOL reference in the comments.
I notice the UA-cam algorithm feeds me this video every couple of months, and I watch it every time!
that was so cool...kinda looked like some weird ancient alien computer.
Totally hypnotising man!
Would be well trippy in 'cab view cam'.
Go pro the second engine.
I’m surprised the number of wagons/cars don’t fall off!!!!!
Makes me wonder how many previous loops were attempted where that DID happen.
アメリカとかだとマジでこんなの走ってそうだから凄い（笑）
それな、てか日本人いた！
日本人少ないな

I wish I had that much free time. Great video. Knew what was gonna happrn, but couldn't look away.
Well it was [Log]
Seller: How many cars do you need ?
James: Yes.
This is amazing, absolutely beautiful to watch and to listen to. Bravo!!!
Average coal train length:
I only wanted to build a simple spiral from one level to the next..
Insane, mesmerising & brilliant though, well done :)
Now I want to see it with the lead engine re-entering the spiral so that the train keeps endlessly chasing itself.
Also, more cars and locos could be added to completely populate the entry spiral and the first 4 turns of the exit spiral.
