Coal & Grain trains running with layout view , 8-4-2024, 7 Mn-54 Sec

Decided to run a couple trains today, a grain train and a coal train. Coal train I just added 8 new bethgon coal porters. Also a new view of the layout, which I call completed. Is a model railroad ever completed.

What a beautiful layout! Well done Sir!! I've watched alot of your videos and always liked to see the different parts of your layout. Cool long trains. Completely different question, what do you clean your track with? The trains run flawlessly l

[@NScaleRailroad]

I use different items to clean track, bright boy track cleaner, have 2-Centerline cars, I have a 40' Refg. car with pad under it, also another 40' with a roller and brushes at both ends, these are just a few... I do not use all at once, my favorite I'd have to say is the two 40' cars, I run them together and it seems to work well for me, there are so many ways to clean track, you might want to do some research on the web... Thank you for comment...

Beautiful layout sir !

[@NScaleRailroad]

Thank you, I like running around 30-50 cars... The layout is 34' and 10" in length from West to east. Width vary's, most is 2' wide and islands are different sizes. It is all double track using Kato turnouts and track. I had to make my own sections to fit odd places where needed. Mainline radius is from 28 1/4 to 17 5/8.

@@alberthofer679 Yes, everything is within reach, when I built this I wanted to be able to reach in and do what I need to do without reaching over a bunch of stuff... Thanks for watching and commenting...
