Super. The car float can float away safely without losing the load, while a new car float can safely dock. Very nice. With 20 or 30 car floats, you could have a variety of rolling stock be in use. I remember a car stop in Denver that had a coupler without a knuckle welded to four pieces of rail at the end of a spur track. 💙 T.E.N.

Super. My railroad will never have a rail car ferry, think Denver & Rio Grande Western meets Colorado & Southern meets Great Western of Colorado, but I do utilize 10% grades to reach storage, staging, display, and fiddle yards located on unscenicked display shelving along the walls. From 10" off the floor to within 10" of the roof, along one wall, every four inches is a live double tracked shelf connected to my layout by steep switchbacks, limiting me to two locomotives pulling three cars, but it makes for some interesting operation, especially if you need to retrieve a piece of rolling stock, and allows me to have everything on the rails and operational, and having my displayed trains also operational is a big bonus. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

Wooden cigar boxes work well too., less noise, can get them at a good liquor/cigar shop with humidor room, sometimes free or a buck or two.

This would work for removable stageing cassett tracks. Great idea, I'll definitly consider it. I worry about to much handeling of cars and especially locos. I'm wanting to incorporate two removeable stageing track sections. So outbound cars, repersenting being at their interchange destination, which is really my stageing, can easily be lifted out with the cars and locos on it. Then have a second lift out section cassett ,with inbound traffic already staged for pick up to go in place. This is great for a holding coupler device for safe moving of your trains. Thanks for inspiring me a better idea for my layout stageing. God Bless my friend, your layouts looking beautiful as always, Cheers back to you.😊

That's very clever! I came up with an axle hook type of thing for a similar purpose, but it's for hidden staging and permanent, which decreases its flexibility. I see a lot of potential in your design.
@boomerdiorama 2 күн бұрын
There is something about ease of operation and functionality, especially when you get a little older. No duck-unders or hidden staging for me anymore. I want to see everything without bending over or crawling under if you know what I mean. ;-) Cheers.
@J3scribe 2 күн бұрын
@@boomerdiorama I do know what you mean! I'm in the design phase of a modular shelf layout, but in N scale, so hidden staging is a mere 8 inches below the visible layout. Just enough clearance to reach in and grab a derailed car. lol

This episode has me thinking about how to secure cars on a car ferry or car float, something I have never observed, or given thought to, for that matter. Using couplers seems like a clever solution, though what I get from my slipshod research on Wikipedia is that the usual methods are jacking the corners of cars to take the load off the wheels, fastening the cars in place with chains and turnbuckles, and clamping chocks to the rails. And constant attention from the crew, in case something comes loose!
@boomerdiorama 2 күн бұрын
There is always the prototype vs the model in model railroading. Prototype dogma can kill immersion and operational fun. If the model was static I would think in those terms you mentioned. But it's functional and practical. ;-) 😁
@Bellerophonmodeler Күн бұрын
@@boomerdiorama Oh, definitely, you need a practical solution and yours in ingenious! It's just that seeing how you solved the problem on your layout made me curious about the prototype. I honestly never gave any thought before to how they secure cars, but obviously they have to, for about the same reason. If you don't secure them, your beautifully weathered cars come rolling out and get busted on the floor, and if they don't, their cars end up at the bottom of the Fraser River. ;-)

@@Bellerophonmodeler Oh yeah. I have friends who are retired railroad people and they witnessed boxcars going into the Burrard inlet back in the early B.C. Hydro days. They rolled right off the swing bridge into the chuck and then blamed it on the rookie . . . lol.
@HumancityJunction 2 күн бұрын
Interesting idea. Does it bother you that the "backstop" is not prototypical for the car float? Oh, I guess I responded too quickly, I did not realize it was all removable.
@boomerdiorama 2 күн бұрын
There is nothing more worse than prototype dogma to ruin immersion and smooth trouble free operations. I don't care about "legalistic" Proto 87 standards when I model - it's a rabbit hole that leads to burnout and frustration. The backstop is actually removable for camera shots and has nothing to do with the look of a prototype in my case. I only use the prototype for a jumping off point and could care less about it's doctrine when it comes to building a functional model. ;-) Cheers ~ Boomer.
