Cab Ride Video HO Scale UPRR Evanston Sub 11-30-2023 Model Train Layout in Action

[@jacko9759]

Always love to see cab rides as they always to show what is needed to add to make the layout really add to the realistic look to the layouts. You are doing great 😮

[@EvanstonSub]

Many thanks!

[@geraldhardy4257]

It looks fabulous!

[@EvanstonSub]

thanks

[@RussellCurtis-db8yn]

Bloody outstanding Darryl, love it,still like to see a full circuit bottom and top and especially the helix🇦🇺👍

[@EvanstonSub]

Cab Ride or just overall?

[@RussellCurtis-db8yn]

Both would be terrific 👍🇦🇺

[@CajonSub]

Looks awesome, love the cab rides! - Steve

[@EvanstonSub]

Thanks 👍

[@Southern_Pacific]

Great cab ride Daryl.. scenery is looking excellent in most places.. as you pointed out cab rides are great for picking up any issues with track and helps with finishing scenery.. Dave from down under

[@EvanstonSub]

Very true!

[@bobainsworth5057]

Looks great.

[@EvanstonSub]

Thanks!

[@kimrok1]

Looks great! Two ideas, place the camera in the lead container on a stack train and stream the run on the flat screen during open houses or operating sessions. Second, set up a locomotive cab and control stand for a real simulator run. Great stuff!

[@EvanstonSub]

Thanks for the tips!

[@mikerubynfs]

Other ones I've done are a caboose view, put the camera at the rear of a flat car on the rear of the train looking forward. The second is harder, pull the camera car with another loco in front of the train looking back at the train, I had a few bloopers doing that one, like extreme close ups of the loco's nose!

[@BaronvonBavert]

nice cab ride video 👍👍🤟

[@EvanstonSub]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@garynugent4400]

Awesome sir! - Gary

[@EvanstonSub]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mpeterll]

Thanks for the cab rides. Love the way the layout is developing, especially the signal system. Very few layouts have a long enough main line to make that feature work well. I'd love to see a full cab ride (staging to staging, including the special direction-swapping helix), even with the scenery incomplete. It would be especially nice to have a signal stop at some point, just to see these in action. Thanks again.

[@EvanstonSub]

Maybe next time.

[@randydobson1863]

hello darrly & it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks darrly friends randy

[@EvanstonSub]

Thanks!!!

[@easternsprails]

cork roadbed has a little edge just off the top of it. That creates an overhang that shows up after ballasting. It can be trimmed off real easy with a razor or fresh Exacto knife. before the ballasting work.

[@EvanstonSub]

I never had that issue with N scale. Its all facing away from the viewer so not seen unless through a cab ride video.

[@mattm6584]

Love the cab ride - thank you. I know I’ve said it before, but an absolutely beautiful RR. I could spend days watching trains, scenicked or not. Keep up the great work

[@EvanstonSub]

Thanks for the kind words. Appreciated!

[@snchilders]

a sleeve in the tunnels is really needed if you're going to do Cab Rides.

[@EvanstonSub]

so true

[@donhanley1213]

Very nice. Two things. 1st, the semi truck appears to be playing chicken with the train. 2nd, instead of using a black wash on the rocks, my suggestion is using a dark redish brown first. If that doesn't give you the look you want, you can go darker much easier than lighter. In fact, you may want to consider several layers of different shdes of redish washes to create more depth.

[@EvanstonSub]

good tips. THanks

[@firemaniv]

Looking good. Instead of installing the tunnel tubes, place some "Easter eggs" in the tunnels for cab rides and, if possible, for visitors if they can somewhat see into the tunnels.

[@EvanstonSub]

????

[@firemaniv]

@EvanstonSub a hidden scene, message, picture, graffiti etc.... AKA easter egg.

[@EvanstonSub]

Oh, like a Disney ride!

[@firemaniv]

@@EvanstonSub or a current Disney movie.

[@easternsprails]

OK Daryl, Ya did it to yourself. If ya have a train cam, ya have to do tunnel interiors.

[@EvanstonSub]

So true

[@geraldhardy4257]

The ballast removing Meerkats are in HO scale by the way and native to your layout only

[@EvanstonSub]

Interesting

[@geraldhardy4257]

You may be infested with ballast moving Meerkats!

[@EvanstonSub]

Not sure what you mean ???

[@mikerubynfs]

Using the wifi option allows you to see what the camera view is and you can remotely stop and start it, if does the same as my SQ13 version.

[@EvanstonSub]

Unfortunately, it only shoots 720x480 in wifi mode

[@mikerubynfs]

@@EvanstonSub That's odd mine is an older version, so long as it records to the SD card it will record in 1080p.

[@EvanstonSub]

I need to double check mine on that

[@richardrineer771]

Need to run the 844, Daryl have you heard anything about BLI doing the UP business cars ?

[@EvanstonSub]

Maybe next time on the 844. Ill need to check out the business cars.

[@seankolker]

Have you done a how to wire a details West signal?

Awesome videos and layout! Question: What type LED's are you using for lighting, and how are you powering them?

[@EvanstonSub]

Kihung (8 Pack) LED Shop Light 4ft, 40W 5200LM 6000K

[@terrymann9723]

Thank you sir! I guess I was not very clear on my question, I meant the strip LED's you use under the upper level, and how you are powering them? Sorry I was not clear@@EvanstonSub

[@terrymann9723]

@@EvanstonSub Thank You Sir! I appreciate the help. Looking foreword to your next Video

[@ibhandlebar]

How many Sq. Ft. does your layout cover?? Thx Greg

[@EvanstonSub]

2200

[@TobiasL1000]

Is shipping to Europe possible?

[@TobiasL1000]

When I enter my German address, it always says „address not found. Enter a valid address to choose shipping method“

[@EvanstonSub]

Let me check on that. I think I have a few countries approved, but not Germany.

[@jimrockford3662]

Never have, never will like 2 level layouts. You can NEVER focus on the “main “ layout/level

[@EvanstonSub]

Actually, it been better than I expected. I have kept the upper level narrower than the lower level so that it's not completely covered. Of course, it really sucks when shooting cab ride videos.
