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?)
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

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 😅
Oh thank God ! I feared You would stop the video just before the last car went out of frame ! That would have been OCD crippling lol !! Such a neat video.
Hypnotic! Beautiful, pointless but beautiful! There are almost 700 thumbs down & they must all be HO enthusiasts who wish they had thought of this first.
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.
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.
It would have been cool to add a few more cars so that they would just clear as the lead engine was exiting the loop. Then switch the lead engine back into the outside loop, so that the whole thing runs in a continuous loop.
The train is 228 hoppers, hauled by eight locos spaced at 25 hopper intervals until the 7th and 8th locos, where the number of hoppers are increased between the last locos and the tail-end hopper.

The most impressive thing isn't the spiral itself, but the fact you did it with _snap track_
That must've taken weeks to prepare and hours to set up.
Content like this is why I came to UA-cam 15 years ago. Just harmless fun videos from everyday ordinary people
"Sir, we need to pull into the side track..."
The side track:
WOW! That is a lot of hopper cars. ♡ all the locomotives working as one. ♡ H.O. ♡ T.E.N.
Imagine if it was an express train, and you experienced it first hand irl
with tiny cameras, I think that should be arranged. :)
Take diversion
Puke all over the floor
that would be horror
Normally I'm NOT a fan of long trains but this is an exceptional exception!
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
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
IDK how this got in my feed but I can not stop watching it lol
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!!!
THE SOUND, My mom think it's raining outside
Completely insane, but very well done.
There need to be two of these circles, with the train moving back and forth between them.
Great video and no expense spared. Thanks for the entertainment. That being said sufferers of vertigo may not have such a wonderful experience.
"This is Snowpiercer. Around and around the Earth we circle. We can never stop. These are our revolutions, 1,001 cars long."
Oh thank God ! I feared You would stop the video just before the last car went out of frame ! That would have been OCD crippling lol !! Such a neat video.
dieselrotor that’s exactly what i was worried about lol
Shit why did you have to say that bro?? Just the thought of it’s making me anxious 😂 that would drive me insane 😂
I had a headache before watching this video, after watching the video I feel much better
隙あらば自分語り乙
I notice the UA-cam algorithm feeds me this video every couple of months, and I watch it every time!
Done with Lionel on this scale you’d have to take out a secound mortgage
why not LGB?
Hypnotic! Beautiful, pointless but beautiful! There are almost 700 thumbs down & they must all be HO enthusiasts who wish they had thought of this first.
I’d love to see this with a go pro on the front
This is amazing...whoever did this is on the master level in model train display...i could watch this on loop for hours...lol
liked & subbed
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.
that was so cool...kinda looked like some weird ancient alien computer.
I wish I had that much free time. Great video. Knew what was gonna happrn, but couldn't look away.
Well it was [Log]
WOW!!!....I MUST tell you that that was VERY mesmerizing and satisfying!!!...and yes, I watched till the last car was gone...👍
Out of all the crap that UA-cam has suggested to me, this is definitely the highest quality.
🤣
Totally hypnotising man!
Would be well trippy in 'cab view cam'.
Go pro the second engine.
Seller: How many cars do you need ?
James: Yes.
This is amazing, absolutely beautiful to watch and to listen to. Bravo!!!
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
That would have sucked if a derailment happened in the middle of all that!
On the other hand, this is a good way to show how the inside of an 8 track tape works...
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.
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.... ;)
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.
Finally, i wouldn't have any trouble anymore to get the whole plate of spaghetti after this tutorial. Thanks
It would have been cool to add a few more cars so that they would just clear as the lead engine was exiting the loop. Then switch the lead engine back into the outside loop, so that the whole thing runs in a continuous loop.
