The ghosting effect in of you placing the trial radius was a nice video touch. The Subscribe! message on the rear of the motorcycle also was a nice touch. That was very kind of Lynn McCurdy to gift you that box of rolling stock. I always enjoy watching you analyze and solve issues. Regards.
Instead of making a 22 and 24 inch radius, here’s what I did. I made both radiuses the same but started the curve. 2 inches later on the outside curve. This created an affect that made these centre distance wider so that cars and locomotives could easily pass by each other Better
Started to watch and everyone wanted to go to dinner. Just now catching up. Dennis, the car in question. Saw a real one today and will send you a pic of it in an email.
Dennis you know you don't have to put your switch motors directly under your switches. Sometimes you just can't but then you make a throw arm. That way you won't have to change anything. Good luck figuring out things. Great update
@@CM-ARM Putting them off center would require more effort. Yes I know it can be done. There are several options for this. I view those options a last resort because the simplest and most efficient way is directly beneath. As mentioned in the video everything I will run on the layout clears with these motors and nothing needs changes. Thanks Chris!!
Hi Dennis. May I make a suggestion. When you come out of the time saver put in a canyon with some scratch built bridges and that should help with scenery transition.
I do have a few ideas in mind for the scenery. A gorge between a plunging fascia and the track is part of my idea. I'm just not sure how the view block between the two different scenes will work yet. Trees will be a big part I think. I can see it in my minds eye, but it's difficult to explain in writing or even verbally. Thanks Sierge!
Mighty fine lookin' RR you are a buildin' Dennis.🤠 I love the way you knock together framing in time with some zippy tune and make it all look so effortless! The question is, Do those midget switch motors actually work?🤔 (lol, of course they do! ha ha . . . er . . . do they?) . . . . . 🚂Lawrence
Excellent video, the 'timesaver' is a work of art on it's own, but it will fit beautifully into this amazing project.
Thank you!

I'm glad you enjoy my videos! Solving problems is 90% of the hobby! lol

I'll give that a shot.
I watch your videos and in awe at what you’re building…it’s just gonna be awesome…
@@georgiasunbelt Thanks Anthony! You have a pretty awesome layout yourself!!
@@OtterCreek thanks Dennis
Problem solving…… that’s what I do at work and on my layout…… also keeping it simple works too 😊 !!
I usually go full circle before I come back to the KISS method! lol. Thanks for stopping by!!
Excellent! Thanks for the update, Dennis! Looking forward to seeing you run a train to the timesaver. Oh, and nice Harley "Subscribster." 😀
Thanks Paul!
Great update. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Thanks Dave!

Thanks for the info Lynn. Nice pics as well!
Great update Dennis. As they say tho all plans are subject to small changes
Yes sir! No plan survives first contact, especially a model railroad plan. Thanks for stopping by Joe!
Very Nice share Otter Creek!
Thanks for visiting!

@OtterCreek yes Sir I agree but sometimes you just gotta

Thanks Lawrence! The midgets do work, I'm not real proud of the higher pitch sound they make when they fire but hey, the fit the build.
@@OtterCreek Just tell everybody that it's flange squeal.
You are not far from that goal of spotting a car in the timesaver from the "new" layout, maybe by the end of September.
Thanks Roy, there are a few non railroad related hiccups slowing me down right now, more likely the end October I'm afraid.
@@OtterCreek Ah, no worries, you've made good progress so far, and the videos are well done, so don't fret being behind a little. :)
Hi Gayle, Dennis
Thanks for stopping in John! Always appreciate your views!!
