Love Jims personal touches to buildings and accessories. Example: The scratch built Steed Manufacturing Co. In memory of his dad. And at the 17:16-17:18 min mark of video is the billboard sign over the dinner--showing a large peach with the words " Nobody treats you better than Georgia" (probably from a Ga tourism ad)😊

Great video of a Great Layout. The video has a very nice balanced approach to showing off the layout. I Enjoyed the first half where Jim shares his memories and history of his model trains. The last half gives a wonderful tour of the various scenes along the layout and watching the operating accessories in action. I grew up in the metro Atlanta area 1949-1970s. I remember Kings Hardware, Riches and Davisons Dept Stores and catching street cars at 5-points to get around town. I now live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Maybe some day on a trip back to Georgia i can visit Blairsville.

765's boiler is way to small to make 4500 horsepower. 1225's boiler is 9 inches bigger in diameter and only made around 3000 horsepower. No way is 765 making more power with a smaller boiler.
@OGRYouTube8 күн бұрын
@@ThunderboltSirenStudios There are documented records from dynamometer car tests that show the NKP Berkshires were easily capable of developing 4,500 *drawbar* horsepower. The actual *boiler* HP would be even higher. I’m not sure where you got the 9” boiler size difference, either. The PM, NKP, C&O, and Erie Berkshires were all designed by the Advisory Mechanical Committee, and the designs were almost identical. Lastly, PM 1225 is capable of developing a *lot* more than 3,000 horsepower.
@ThunderboltSirenStudios8 күн бұрын
@OGRKZbin you can look it up, the Internet says the boiler diameter is 98 inches. It also says the same for the C&O Berkshire. But I apologize for being wrong about the boiler horsepower. I mistook drawbar horsepower to boiler horsepower. But my question is, most of the Internet says that 1225 only produces 3000 horsepower at the cylinders. But the SRI says it has 5000 TRACTIVE horsepower. How is tractive horsepower different from drawbar horsepower. It's the same with the Union Pacific Big Boy, with the internet claiming it only makes $6,200 horsepower, and the Union Pacific Railroad claiming it has 7,000 horsepower.

The steam and diesel locos drew power their from the center rail. The electric locomotives with pantographs drew their power from the overhead wire. They did not have power pickup rollers on the bottom.

I feel Frank Battaglias pain. I just suffered a house fire last week on Halloween, 2024. The house is completely destroyed above the basement, and my trains suffered water damage, but most of my collection and pieces are salvageable. It's going to be a long road in recovery, but I know it's only going to get better each day. Seeing this gives me great comfort and motivation to keep going forward in these horrible times. Thank you Rich for covering this and best wishes to Mr Battaglia.
