Thank you Jack, how lovely to hear the affection in your Voice for this wonderful Railway and of the Characters who inhabited it, and I guess it is what has enabled you to create such a perfect Layout. I especially loved the bowed Shelves in the Cupboard. As an old P. Way Man, we also used to keep spare 60’ 0” of Rail, usually on a couple of Sticks (Sleepers/Ties) by the side of the Track, as well as a couple of spare Fishplates which we kept every few Miles or so, as we didn’t have CWR on my old Branch Line in those Days, so if you as the Patrolman was out walking the Piece and found a broken Fishplate you could change it. Thank you once again for sharing your Experience, you must have had some great Days up on the YV with your Wife checking out Details of the old Line. Thanks also to John, great Video.
I wanted to say how much I appreciate your dedication to accurately modeling the YV and your skills and abilities. Thanks so much for all the great videos.
Hey Jack, how about a video on lineside industries or shippers? The YV had several interesting customers that you've modeled I think people would be interested in learning more about. Maybe explain how they were served, loading procedures, what the products were and where they were going. I love that kind of stuff!
I've been in that area about a year a go when we were on a roadtrip in de US. Didn't know untill now that we were that close to the place you've been modelling. Love watching videos from this modelrailroad every time. Awesome job Jack!
@@yvfan I live in the Netherlands. So it was a very impressive journey driving from San Francisco to Denver visiting a lot of National Parks (including Yosemity NP) and other interesting places along the way (Georgetown Loop railroad for example). Also went to Cheyenne to see the Big Boy and the transcontinantal railroad witch I try to model (even brought some Wyoming-dirt back home to use on the layout). Your layout is a great insparation tot me. Especially the high level of detail and amount of research you've put into it. You've brought modelrailroading to the next level in my opinion. Happy modelrailroading and stay safe! Jasper
Love to lessons to the stories about how things are on your layout and why, its interesting how you put things on it, and it all works so well together....thanks for sharing....Jack your day and stories look foward to then👍👍👍👍👍
That story about the gold loading bank is really interesting! They just left it there lol lol. Thanks for the effort to make this video. I am currently designing a new termimus module for my layout based on a real location, but this is great inspiration for any new prototype or freelance scene
Another great episode. So now a layout has an high and accurate level of details if the dog matches with the photos, and his name must be known too! Did Ansel Adams take a lot of photos of the railroad? He surely took a train often when going to the park.
According to Ansel's autobiography, the first time Ansel Adams visited Yosemite was with his mother on the train but that might have been the only time.Hank Johnston, who wrote the first book on the YVRR, asked Ansel (who he personally knew) if he had every taken any photographs of the train and he said that he had not. But after Ansel passed away, Ansel's son found the photo that was in the video and shared it with Hank. I eventually got a copy of the photo from Hank and then found another photo of the same scene...in color. It was taken by someone who knew Ansel and was standing next to him when both photos were taken.

@@JasperWest Not that I know of.

I've read of your model for years. It is impressive. Thx
Another great and informative episode Jack.
As you already know, I love this series! Absolutely fantastic!
Glad you enjoy it, Ben!
Great insight Jack, a life long journey to recapture a very special part of the country. best regards 🇦🇺
Wow great information... Thanks for Bob the dog
That is a treasure!
Thats a masterpiece of a layout, amazing!

While I am not a model railroader, I really enjoy the videos Jack has doe. I think it's because he is a scale modeler and not a kit assembler.
