HO Scale: BNSF "Setting up shop" on the KCE... Bloopers too!

Filmed 4/25, 5/3,10,17
It's been a while since I've done one of these OPs videos, and YES, I now have BNSF. Along with some BN power and equipment that will be updated and patched to BNSF where needed. Even dad recently acquired some BN equipment (the short train with the GP38-2 and two SD60s with the tiger stripes) which I included here too.
I've been wanting to get a BNSF unit for a while now just as some run through/borrowed power, and came across that MTH SD70ACe at train show for $100. It's a DCC/DCS ready unit that had virtually no run time on it. I do not have a sound equipped decoder in it yet, but it will have one eventually.
The GP35 is a KATO that I custom painted a long time ago, but ended up never really using it either. Now I have a reason, so I brought it out of mothballs and refer to it as a GP39M (may not be entirely accurate, but eh, it works for now) and the BNSF SD40-2 isn't going to stay that way. It's going to become something else all together.
Anyway, enjoy this one, and I'll get more posted soon. I will probably be working to post a railfanning video every couple of days or so just to get my backlog reduced down.
Thanks for watching!

Pretty good! Especially with that SD70Ace.

[@NS8010]

Nice one Jason! The club is looking great! I'm loving all the modern power and the rebuilt units especially!!

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks Spencer! Yes, modern power, rebuilt or not, is always good!

[@njRRtrainer]

Great job, you have a lot of big power here and must keep the shop crew busy.. Thanks

[@RailfanJason]

njRRtrainer Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Yes, they keep plenty busy :D

[@KCUnionStationTrains]

Nice video Jason! I felt like I was going on a train ride! Nice ride for me!

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks Darryl, glad you enjoyed it!

[@randypiasecki4161]

Nice video. I am a big fan of diesel engines. Love to see more!

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks. Have a look through my video gallery, there is one I posted back in January called "HO Scale: Motive Power!" Features most of my, and my Dad's, locomotives.

[@Gooby-Snoozert]

Could you do an overview/birds eye view of the entire layout one day? I'm dying to see it Or at least a drawn layout of where the tracks go, thanks

[@NicksCollectableCreations]

That is a nice bunch of rolling stock. I'm a fan of the BN + BNSF colors myself. Need to start getting some more of them for my layout.

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks! I can't honestly say I've ever really been a fan, but for such a big part of railroading to not have a presence here seems odd. But the new BNSF H3 scheme is starting to grow on me.

[@guyholloway8677]

Awesome video and layout

[@RailfanJason]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@ModelerManMike]

Good show! Thanks for sharing...

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks Mike! Was my pleasure.

[@SkippersOfSWE]

That layout looks incredible! Great vid, mate.

[@abdullahabu1252]

I like this model designed and would like to more idea regarding how to make a train area barking for HO Scale .

[@844Train]

Awesome Video! Still haven't seen a UP ACe and a BNSF ACe together.

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks Chris! Well, I've only seen my first BNSF ACe's within the past couple weeks, so I haven't either. Don't feel bad. :D

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Nice vid!

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks!

[@dacuzzz]

OK Jason ... you have shammed me into putting some UP power on my layout... great video... thanks for sharing.... it's funny that my layout is BNSF but i have more ATSF unit than BNSF units... what's up with that...LOL thanks for sharing vinny

[@RailfanJason]

hahaha! Thanks Vinny. No pressure! But yeah, I have noticed that, you have way more Santa Fe than anything, but it's all good. Like me, "it's my railroad, I'll model it as I see fit." Goes back to that whole modelers license thing. I do plan on getting one or two more units though. Just have to wait till the $$ allows for it. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JohnAOutdoors]

How does one acquire this many engines and rolling stock? Absolutely amazing.

[@RailfanJason]

heh... Well, I've been into model railroading since the 90s. Lots of time to acquire a lot of stuff. :D Thanks!

[@gunsaway1]

Man you keep your hostlers busy!

[@RailfanJason]

gunsaway1 Damn right! They don't get paid to stand around! :D

[@windyay2015]

Good

[@mayrasaavedra4269]

cool

[@tyhik9338]

add more BNSF GEVOs man

[@MrCsxtrain]

I see heritage units!!

[@RailfanJason]

I wouldn't be much of a UP fan if I didn't have any UP Heritage Units! :D Thanks for watching!

[@randyxayyavong8549]

L love to scale trains

[@northstarstatepolitics1652]

3:59 *INSERT BRAVE DAVE HERE*

[@eddie9027]

Yea but the shop foreman will get him for speeding through the shop

[@kernanhosea2024]

how many engines do u have here. K

[@RailfanJason]

I honestly don't remember. This was 2 1/2 years ago. It's a collection that's been in progress since the 1990s.

[@arifsayed83]

kernan hosea

[@tlimb813]

Where do you live at

[@petemessenger9514]

Hold on while I stick pins in my eyes!

[@RailfanJason]

Have fun with that.

[@thebrakeman17]

are you OK?

[@arthurhouston3]

I left Amtrak out once though they were going to castrate me.

[@RailfanJason]

hahaha... yeah, I'll consider Amtrak when more than half of their system map is made up of their own trackage, and not everyone else's. No offense intended to Amtrak fans, but I gotta call it like I see it!

[@arthurhouston3]

Careful you are not being PC leaving out Amtrak. FEC

[@RailfanJason]

Well, Amtrak is mostly trackage rights, and next to UP, BNSF, CSX, NS, and KCS, the FEC is small potatoes

[@edw4349]

Beautiful layout, locos, and cars, but please SLOW DOWN! Operators should be more aware of what realism looks like instead of how fast can I get through this maneuver!

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks, however, this wasn't an actual op session. This is me messing around in the late afternoon with time running out before I had to leave for the day. Things sometimes get hurried along.

[@regisbrooks8064]

my Facebook page Roger brooks my club is the North Georgia Modurail I need a new locomotive with sound I have one F45 Santa fe I love Amtrak

[@dutch2120]

Dumb question, Is your layout designed to be moved to shows and stuff? I saw earlier in this video on the mainline that looked like joiner tracks with no ballast.

[@RailfanJason]

Correct. This is a modular layout, and we got a LOT of bridge pieces. :D
