Thank you very much

Thank you. I am working on new audio systems to help

It was a pleasure to meet you. My tenure at the shop is over but please stay in touch. Thank you and I am glad you are enjoying the videos.

Thank you very much

Adds to the challenge for the Yard Crew. Not to worry, a transfer job came up and cleared two tracks off.

I am glad you enjoyed the video. The total length from the entrance to the staging yard to the main portion of the layout is about 22 feet

Thank you

I make my gondola loads and if you are interested I can make you some

@@stephenjohnson26 I was wondering your technique. Love to make a gondola load. Still working on my weathering technique. I'll get there.

@@ModelingSteelinHO anything I can do to help just let me know

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you, more to come next month

@@stephenjohnson26 Can't wait to see it ... Thank you for sharing your layout

Greatly appreciate your feedback, thanks

Nice to meet you and thank you

Thank you and you are welcome to come for an Operating Session. I live in Frederick, Maryland so if you are ever in the DC or Baltimore area I am 45 minutes away. I agree with you on the bell and the level you hear is considerably turned down from what Tsunami decoders have as a standard volume. I believe it is the microphone on my iPhone that picks up higher pitches which causes it to sound really loud. Standing next to them the human ear doesn’t pick it up as much. I will experiment more.

@@stephenjohnson26 Many thanks for inviting me. I live a bit too far away (Quebec-Canada). But I really like the way you've putted all this together. Like the scenic, ballast job but mainly, the rear mill building. You're right about all you're saying in your video. It takes sometimes long to get thru an OP session. Things have to be done properly and at the right speed too. I like running my trains around delivering loaded and empties at my paper mill. It took me long to assemble a fleet of nicely weathered cars mostly bought on EBay. Some people just have it way better than me. I don't let anyone manipulating them. Engines included. Model railroading is the best hobby in the world ! Keep on your good work. I'm now a subscriber to your channel.

@@lucgagnon5241 I appreciate the support and never let anyone tell you what you have is bad or it isn’t enough. As long as you are happy that is all that matters. More videos on their way!

Thank you

So you spotted some Easter Eggs!! That makes me laugh, nobody else has mentioned them. The trackage that goes underneath the layout to the staging yard, represents the Montour interchange and the Wheeling and Lake Erie interchange or N&W based on the timeline. You may catch in some of the videos, the shelving units that I have underneath the layout which represents the entire outside world. Cars come off of those shelves and go to the staging yard first and then make their way finally up to the main portion of the layout to the Duquesne class Yard. Every time that there is a new session, I am writing a whole new set of switch lists and tracklists, it keeps things moving and generally, you’ll never see the same cars for three months back on the layout. Makes for a good variety, thank you so much for catching the Easter eggs and your comments.

Thank you, that was a trick I learned from another modeler and it has caught a few people off guard

Thank you

Thank you, much appreciated

Thank you for that, I spend many hours doing the lists before a session to make sure it is fun and purposeful

Thank you

You’re welcome

Thank you

Thank you very much

Thank you, glad you liked it

Thank you

Thank you for that, more videos coming

Thank you

Thank you very much!

It is and thank you. Haven’t had any complaints from operators.

I incorporate the things I learned and did as an engineer into my layout. Not only does it help with realistic operation, but for those who are new to the hobby it provides a learning experience. Thanks for commenting, stay safe

It is, however it used to be a fully integrated mill with blast furnaces etc. I chose to model that era to increase traffic and commodities to make the layout more fun.

Thank you very much

Thank you, I now have a better microphone setup so next video should be better

Thank you for that. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know

@@stephenjohnson26 awesome, thank you

@@SpringfieldAndWestern you’re welcome

You’re welcome, glad you liked it

Thanks 😁

Glad you enjoyed it

I am glad you enjoyed it

Thank you, I guess everyone’s goal is to have an Op Session be perfect just once😅

Everyone seems to enjoy it. If you’re ever in the area, let me know.

@@stephenjohnson26 Thank you for the invite. Gonna be awhile till I can travel. Hey, have you seen the new State Tool & Die 3D printed Treadwell 200 ton bottle cars ? Although probably not prototypical for your operations. Still a stunning freight car model. I have one and will be uploading a video, shortly.

Thank you if there’s anything else I can help with please let me know

Yes sir, glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for that. I will be making more soon

Thank you. I think I need more practice

Thank you I appreciate that

Thank you very much. Movavi does allow voiceover editing however I do not have a microphone on my desktop. I’m gonna try doing my next video and have people operating while I take the video and do the voiceover live. If that doesn’t work, I guess I’ll go out and buy a microphone.

Thank you

If you are ever in the area, it is a must see in person
