Brings back many memories of my grandfather and father setting up their layouts. Thank you.

too much wokeism in the town, good way to ruin it and keep tourists away

You used to be able to buy this stuff but like everything else its gone. I make all my own and it looks like the stuff from the 40's and 50's. Good video

Stuffy

A nice Idea of selfbuilt Blocksignals, great work you have done.

but you told me you were going to show Digby

I'm sorry but that's a five-star restaurant when I went there

where's our Nova Scotia flag all I see is Canada flag

This is priceless. 23 minutes of awesome. What a great community.

This was great!! I'm thinking of moving to this stunning are and buying a business, maybe a B&B, do you have an advice?

Very interesting. Thankyou.

Great Stuff

I’m so glad to have found this! I have been thinking of how to do this and was thinking of using rinsed coffee grounds. Sawdust is a brilliant medium! This gentleman must have been the voice Professor Steven Hawking’s voice synthesiser was modelled on!

WHAT WHAT WHAT. Ok this is the best Model Railroad video i think i have ever seen. Thank you so much, as i am poor with a large layout.

Oh my god, I watched your video with the sawdust scenery. I did this 25 years ago. Had made sifters to get fine , medium, coarse. Different colors too. Built a bagging hopper and had labels printed. Was selling it to the local hobby store. Earned like $150.00 doing this. That video brought back alot of memories.

Great job! And my grandmother's house is in the drive by!

Excellent tutorial I wish others were as well presented THANK YOU

What is an oatput?

Great idea 💡 thanks for passing it on 👍

34:25 what's the title of that music ?

You should have included yellow signals because 1:40 the 1st signal should have 2 or 3 lights showing clear to medium and then the 2nd signal should show medium to stop

Very cool! My first Martin ancestor from France first landed and died there. Someday I'd like to go and look for his grave site.

thank. I will defenetly use that idea

How did you get the ancient Tesla logic IC's from Czech Republic ?

Missing from your talk is the explanation that the 4 digit numbers correlate to the length and width of the LED. Also the resistors needed to make them functional is missing, otherwise the rapidly will go Pop from an over-voltage issue. Mounting methodology would also be informative.

hm 17 people who work/own hobby stores or woodland scenic`s voted this down, thanks very helpful and saves money to boot.

I have also found that the flowers from Cedrus, Pine or Birch trees make for an amazing leaf cover in 1:85 to 1:35 scale , depending on what type of trees you are trying to recreate. Just be sure to pick it before it hits the ground and After they have finished dusting the pollen. It is very resistant to mold too.

What a great idea. Fake grass per 400g now is really expensive

Great video. Do you have a recipe for static grass?

you should put your dyed sawdust in the microwave at 850 watt for about 3 minutes at the least so you fixate the colour in the sawdust

Why is there no yellow light between the last clear block and the red signal?

A great demo John, but there is a fundamental thing to remember with blocks. You have to remember to space out the signalling to accommodate the maximum length of passenger coaches or freight cars attached to the locomotive in an individual block. If this is not done, then the bock might record a green indicating that the locomotive has passed, but the freight cars or passenger coaches are still in the supposedly green indicated block and liable to collide with the next train entering the block. However, for the purposes of illustrating the operation this was good.

WOW Thanks alot !

Cool! Thank you for the tip. Very useful.

Great video, John. I am a wood worker as well as a model rail road builder. You can bet I will not be throwing away as much sawdust as I've done in the past. Thanks for the idea.

That big vice works as a huge heat-sink. You might be better holding these tiny components with a clothes-peg. They are thermally more efficient and less likely to crush the leds. Nice video,

Absolutely beautifully done and chock full of information .....thank you!!

Great Work. Thanks for explaining and demonstrating this. I have been wondering how to do this. Thanks.

lovely sense of community is it still the same wondering what bear river is like to live and work in, would love to learn more.thank you

Where do I get the circuit boards from? Do the circuit boards come with the electronic parts installed? Or do I have to do that? You talked about a solenoid changing the blades fro a turnout. What solenoid do you use? Is the solenoid mounted under the track? Or beside the track?

Im American And in Florida all my friends are from Canada. Thanks for the video. Great Video As for the Comment about Neo Nazies? Thats really sad to post.

We just finished watching the whole video. Loved it!! Well done!!!

Www

LEDs use 3 volts. 5 volts will burn them out so i had to use resistors. Yours do look nice.

My favorite place in the world!!!

Bu yanlış var .... CTC signal real

I enjoyed your video for block train control. You make it look so simple. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent, this will save quite a bit of money. Thanx for posting.

looks great, nice job. like the flashing sign.

What type of cloth please, an old T shirt? Thank you for the awesome video by the way great way to save money and still model at a high level...
