Looking forward to your next update on the railway. I imagine lots has changed since your last video

Cesky prizvuk tam slysim. :)

Is this channel down?

Is this the last video then?

Thank you Ivana. Your presentation style is cool & your voice is calming. Very nice finished product.

I have really enjoyed your video and it helps me with my recovery from my brain tumor and as I try to get back to my modeling I mention my illness so you know who is watching and why 😔 Thank again 👍

I have really enjoyed your video as it really helps me with my recovery from my brain tumor and stoke as I try to get back to my modeling i mention my illness so you know is watching and why thank you 😉

Waiting patiently for update. Are you still going?

Hope to see some new video's again. Reading the previous comment is obvious why there where none this year. I wish you a full recovery and a good health.

There’s Pudding. My Favorite is Butterscotch.

Hi David and the McKinley Team, hope you all had a good Christmas and new year. 2024 has been a rough year for illness. Best wishes for a healthy and happy 2025, from all at Rhyl & District Model Railway Club.

Incredible. I especially loved the shunter uncoupling motors. 👍

So what's up on McKinley? Happy Holidays.

Amazing work

A GIRL ❤ Ivana ; can I come weather my brass HO with you ? Please be careful , I only have a few little lovely engines. ❤💪🏻

Really interesting video! I’m curious, how do those push buttons interact with TrainController on the laptop?

When when when will there be more from McKinley? It's gone very quiet in the last few months.

So many guys in the comments seem to be stuck in the 1950s

This is fascinating! Thank you so much for this, I thoroughly enjoy this kind of in depth, technical stuff.

I choose to watch KZbin via the desktop site, rather than the App. It's a matter of personal choice, and to some degree, a principal. I therefore accept that some features, available with the app, will not be available to me. That's fine and I have no issue with that. However, I do take issue with KZbin's latest attempt to force viewers to use the app, where they reduce the quality of playback, several times during each video, despite the fact that I have chosen the 720p quality, via the settings. Apart from it being irritating to have to keep reselecting my chosen quality, it also is incredibly disrespectful to the content creators who invest, a not insignificant amount of money, in good quality tech to produce better quality videos for their viewers. McKinley Railway have clearly invested a lot of money to produce a more professional experience for their viewers, only for KZbin to decide that doesn't matter, and reduce playback to 360p for those 'rebellious' so and so's who refuse to be badgered into using the app, all the time. I might just be rebellious enough to cancel my KZbin Music subscription too!

we have a load of tortoises, the jig would be really useful to have one of those jigs, I could print myself, would you share the stl file for that purpose?

I do like the idea of automating the Mainline, thus leaving operators to focus on control of the Branch Lines, Marshaling Yard, etc. Your videos are very instructive, too. Thank you!

8 months since the last video David. This just isn’t good enough any idea when the next video is coming? I hope all is ok

It's been a long time since this update. Hope everything is still ok and that there will be a couple of new videos this winter.

Absolutely brilliant,love the final effect you managed to get on that tired old engine.

Hope you and the team are well and ok? Can't wait to more of McKinley. Best wishes.

You could have changed just the last 3 numbers and leave the 47

It's been 7 months since the last update. Updates used to come every couple of months or so. Hopefully, everything is okay.

Amazing content as always! Is the team ok, it feels a little quiet? I'd like to send you an email but can't find any contact details.

Hello it is always worrying when you haven't done a video, hope all is well

Really interesting, thanks for sharing.

Very interesting. How does the database handle a freight car that stops directly over the RFID reader and changes directions? It seems the database will think the freight car is still in the siding.

Didn't understand a word of it.

Yes more updates! We need more videos of operational sessions!

Are there any new updates coming soon?

I make my own rust powder from 0000 steel wool soaked in vinegar for a couple of weeks. Every batch I make comes out a different shade of rust from deep red to bright orange. I also use women's eye shadow makeup I get for $1.00 at the dollar store. It sticks better than any weathering powder you could ever hope to use. And it comes in every color under the sun. I got one with brown earth tones and some orange for light rust. I also use real bituminous coal for my locomotive tenders and coal loads. I've got this huge chunk of coal I went at with a hammer and smashed it into HO scale bits. The larger bits I use for my O scale Lionel. Last step is Dull Coat sprayed out of one of my airbrushes. Cheers from eastern TN

I believe the Viessman Commander + point and block decoders can do this and more straight out of the box. Pity Version two (with wireless phone/ tablet control) has been delayed so long. The block decoders are connected to the 'red' power for a blocked section and detect anything drawing power in that block. Despite reading the manual, I'm not sure on any details. Anyone got experience in Viessman?

Excellent demo layout. You have shown what is truly possible with DCC + blocks.

Excellent. Thank you for sharing. Might I enquire about weathering the yellow warning panels at each end of a diesel locomotive? Yellow is a colour that tends to fade naturally over time although the effect can be quite subtle.

I wonder if there have been any like problems with DCC Concepts Cobalt point motors or whether they have an alternative security arrangement?

It’d be easier if they were more careful filling those tankers…

Great video! I have used Kadee couplings for a few years now. The length proved to be a problem at first but over came it by using the Kadee 20 and cut to suit. The auto uncoupler for reliability I use drone motors, they are the same diameter but a little longer.

No Tortoises for me❗

Great Video. Any chance of marketing these finished locos in N ? I'd love to buy one. Cheers Gib

Fascinating to see the change in video resolution since this was filmed. Now we get QuadHD monitors and powerful graphics chips in second-hand laptops like I have.

Its so relaxing watching Ivana transform these models, I only run diesels but that steam loco was just fab well done.

Welldone Ivana very nice❤

Q: have experimented with RFID here, the high frequency ones I think you are using, works fine on some freight stock if kept away from metal ballast weights. have you had luck using them on locomotives or are you only tagging wagons?

I use Kadde Couplers too on all of my U.S. rolling stock too, And, Thank you for buying an American product.

You are so professional thankyou.
