DK's O Gauge Trains -CSX Double Stacks featuring Lionel CSX locomotives and Gunderson MTH Well Cars

As the title suggests, this video highlights my MTH "Gunderson" well cars in mostly 5 car sets. Motive power is provided by Lionel Legacy locomotives CSX. Take time to see the "distributed power" placed "mid - train". Now it's two up front and one mid train. This allows better air distribution to the end of the train and controls and prevents extreme slack action and string lining. Thanks, Charlie, for this last bit of information.
I hope you enjoy the video. If so, please leave a "like" and / or a comment.

Good Morning Don, These cars are my favorite of your collection. They look fantastic going down the tracks. Another great running session. Have a great day! (Frank)

[@DonaldKeiser1981]

Hello Frank. Thanks again for watching. The double stacks are also some of my favorites. Take care.

Good job Don, I always enjoy watching modern freight.

[@DonaldKeiser1981]

You and me both! Thanks Joe. I am glad you enjoyed the video.

Today your beard is looking mighty fine. Mighty, mighty, fine. Regarding the trains, the Gundersons are my favorite with those end bulkheads.

[@DonaldKeiser1981]

Thanks Stu for the compliment. I am thinking you should start one too! A real chick magnet. Thanks for watching the video. I agree, I also like the end bulkhead well cars. See you at York.

That Jeep Gladiator is an exact miniature of my red Rubicon. Nice!

[@DonaldKeiser1981]

Pretty cool truck. I had a ‘21 Mojave in Nacho. Sold it last Spring and went back to Toyota😢. I missed my 4Runners and more practical for me.

Thanks Ray for watching.

Hello Don Great video thoroughly enjoyed it. Sorry I haven't had time to respond, we bought a home out in the country with a huge basement. I of course will be building my dream train layout. Of course your layout will be an inspiration for me. Thanks Don for all that you do.

[@DonaldKeiser1981]

Welcome back! Hey Michael, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with your new home. That basement sounds fantastic! I appreciate your kind words too, Michael.

[@PopPopsTrainRoom]

love the layout

[@DonaldKeiser1981]

Thank you very much!

[@johnandrus3901]

Very nice! I like the selection of locomotives. It looks like and ex-Conrail 80 MAC, leading one of the trains. I always liked running the stack trains. They were nice and smooth, without much slack You don't see as many of the Gunderson's as you do the Husky"s, as well as some others, out on the mainline. An excellent video, as always.

[@DonaldKeiser1981]

As always John, thanks for your comment and insight. Always appreciated! I promised no more Husky's in 2024. I do have a few more, I could have made another video of them. Time for something new and a little different. I have a lot of Atlas Frontrunners. They may be next.

[@johnandrus3901]

@@DonaldKeiser1981 Cool. Those Frontrunners were pretty nice cars. Your videos are always interesting and just plain great. Hopefully, I'll see you at York, in October. As usual, be safe.

[@keithneal3253]

Hi Don. Another great video. Would you ever do a video sharing your track plan and walking through how it all flows?

[@DonaldKeiser1981]

Hello Keith. Yes, that is a good idea. My problem is I shoot all my layout video with a tripod and usually some extra studio lights for the dark areas. I could do it walking around with my iPhone but the quality would not be the same. However, it is a good idea and one I will consider. Thanks.

[@huntercoleman460]

Amazing intermodal cars Donald. Seen the Menards intermodal cars?

[@DonaldKeiser1981]

Thank you Hunter for the post. Yes I have. My only complaint, they are just too light to run in a longer consist. The detail is pretty good but all the plastic makes them suspectable to derailments.

[@Keith-AC4400]

Top shelf video as always! The shot of the train crossing the bridge at the dog leg is a favorite. Question came up over here. With the physical amount of track you have is track cleaning a scheduled maintenance or more of a as needed? And what are you using when it’s time to get after it? Keep the videos coming, we appreciate your time and effort! Thanks and Best regards. Keith/Hou, Tx.

[@DonaldKeiser1981]

Hello Keith. I am glad you enjoyed the video. When I built the layout, I made sure to include that bridge feature. It is also one of my favorite locations to film. Track cleaning. Usually, every two weeks, I run (2) track cleaning cars around the layout. These are "dry" and use a Scotch Brite pad to clean the rails. Occasionally, I will use a wet cleaning product. I have tried the ones made for model railroads, they do a good job but a little pricey. What I use is "odorless" Mineral Spirits. I dampen (not soak) a piece of old t shirt and rubber band it to the pad of the track cleaning car and run it around. Maybe two times a year. Truth be told, in the 4 years my layout has been operational, using the cleaning cars with the Scotch Brite pads works the best. I never have any issues with locomotives and dirty track. I hope that helps. Thanks for your comment!
