HO Scale OPS: UP on the Summers Job. 3 PLUS Tier 4 BONUS

[@MrZeldalove]

Those beautiful, bright yellow Union Pacific SD40N's should not even be weathered IMHO. Saw them in the corner of my computer screen and they lured me right into this video. I was planning to look at an old Penn Central video.

[@brakie44820]

That poor local crew had to play the old waiting game just like the prototype local crews. Sixty years ago if I was told by the time you become a senior citizen locomotives would be realistic looking and would have sound I would have laugh and now I have two EMD switchers,two GP9s,a Alco S-4 and a RS-1 with DCC/ Sound. I love this hobby of ours.

[@RailfanJason]

Yes, "Lowcals" because they are the lowest priority :D I know what you mean, even 15 years ago, to think sound would be so important in the hobby today, was barely a thought. I do to.

[@Ryan_Rail]

The first train u see in the video is 68 cars long! Yes I counted them

[@dabulphilly]

Choo Choo Ryan WOW

[@RailfanJason]

Yeah we run some good sized trains on this layout. My biggest train is a 110 car coal drag.

[@amun1999]

What is the size of the layout?

[@blkstang83]

Your layout is amazing looks so life like. So is your videoing of the operations. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevenadinolfisr9820]

Great job in the yards. The had a long day waiting.

[@fredthompson7947]

Very nice " long pull" of all types of freight. Good in the yard maneuvers.

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks Fred, appreciate it, and glad you enjoyed the show.

[@cnpfunteam6105]

That lineup of UP power at Enterprise is insane! How long have you guys had those?

[@RailfanJason]

Its a collection that's just grown and changed over many years.

[@jimapple5448]

Very nice layout . Wish I could do something like that .

[@RailfanJason]

This is a club layout, so a lot of guys had a part in doing this. So, your best bet might be to try and find a club in your area.

[@billyreynolds4749]

Absolutely incredible!! Beautiful layout! Great videography!! Thanks for sharing!

[@johnredhd]

Nice layout. CSX and the UP do not come together in many places...

[@emmittbunn8412]

[@anthonymcmillan5881]

Big Rail Fan, SD40- 2. Nice to see local switching. Thanks

[@northjerseyrailfan9326]

Hey jason could you do a ho railfanning video?

[@joestrainworldvideos3977]

Great video. Love this layout.

[@Outsiderla]

Ya nice other vid no lie i liked the first part of the trains being busy. Busy day for model train hehe

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks, yes, very busy day :D

[@kennethhickman8119]

how can you hook up locomotives in the first 2 seconds of the video like they were, the bnsf going one way and the blue loco going the other way without blowing up their motors?

[@RailfanJason]

Models are designed to be run in any direction and any configuration. These in particular all have computer chips (digital decoders) installed, so it's just a matter of calling the loco number up, telling it which direction to go, then consisting it with the lead locomotive. That way, all the trailing units are controlled by the leader.

[@craigymac5386]

Excellent video and really nice layout 👍.

[@nickbarman4145]

Great video like always

[@RailfanJason]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks.

[@nickbarman4145]

Railfan Jason yep

[@TheGulfwind]

Interesting that among all the UP power in the shop area there is a pair of purple & silver ACL GP-7s! i

[@RailfanJason]

Yes, it's historic power. The shops were contracted out to rebuild and repaint them for a customer on the east coast for fan trips. :D

[@TheGulfwind]

Thank you. Being a modeler of the Seaboard, Atlantic Coast line, Southern, and Florida East Coast railroads I enjoyed seeing those two units. I have watched several of your videos on the switching and they are very well done and quite entertaining. Being on a very impressive layout makes them that much better!

[@flyboy2610]

I live in Lincoln, Ne. and it's not uncommon to see Norfolk Southern diesels working with the BNSF and UP diesels here.

[@alexandergrube6437]

Can you do a layout tour

[@amun1999]

What is the size of this layout

[@ArantiusVulpes]

Were there sound cars in there?

[@flyboy2610]
