HOn3 Time Saver Action

Join me on my Journey to complete a 26X30 HOn3 Model Railroad. My channel, though not designed to be a "how to" channel, does have lots of "how I" do things. Feel free to go back to earlier content and watch how I got from a metal building to where I am now. ~ Dennis

unbelievable, incredible , just wow, there are no words. No one compares to the work you do. you have a supernatural ability. I hope to do something like this one day. I have some much to learn. Thank you for all the hard work and taking the time to do these videos. definitely an inspiration to so many of us.

[@OtterCreek]

Wow, thank you for the kind words!

I love all the buildings in the town...

[@OtterCreek]

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to finishing up the staging yard and getting back to doing some things that are more artistic in nature!

[@jwrailve3615]

Man once I found your channel I think I’ve watched every video instantly. Love very slow ops sessions.

[@OtterCreek]

Thank you!

"REAL-SPEED" & How Smoothly that Loco runs

[@FrogandFlangeVideo]

You told a great story with this video. In particular I loved the outdoor crane and the one in the red shed. Very nicely done. James.

[@OtterCreek]

Thanks James! I'm calling it "Finished" for now. Eventually I will go back in and try to blend some of the scenery with an airbrush and earth tones.

[@cowboyvalley]

[@OtterCreek]

Thanks Dave!

[@Shelfandtabletoplayouts00gauge]

Beautiful looking layout, enjoyed the switching 👋

[@OtterCreek]

Thank you!

[@Astro_dreagonz]

I like the paint scheme not to flashy but cuts through the all black of late steam power

[@OtterCreek]

Thanks!

[@silverfox5319]

Really cool video with beautiful scenery and nice music.

[@OtterCreek]

Thank you!

[@Scale.Model.Craftsman]

Nice work and beautiful layout !

[@OtterCreek]

Thank you very much!

[@CM-ARM]

Dennis like they said your scene is amazing. Things look like they run smoothly. By chance are you planning to go to OKC's train show next month. Will have a couple things there you just might like. Keep having fun, Chris

[@OtterCreek]

Thanks Chris, I do plan on attending if things work out like I hope!

[@DruSteel69]

Pretty awesome, Dennis. Is there an Inn? I’d like to shrink myself and rent a room and stay for a week on the layout. 😆.

[@OtterCreek]

No Inn's yet! There will be in the next town I create... "Silver Gulch." Might get lucky and start on it some time in 2022 if the world doesn't end first!! ;-)

[@DruSteel69]

@@OtterCreek 😀😎👍🏼

[@MrGassRight]

Awesome work! What’s your typical space between rails in this setup?

[@OtterCreek]

Thanks! I don't recall specifically, but I think it's about 4". If I think about it while I'm out there working on Maroon Creek I'll take measurements and get back to you.

[@vollmerdp]

Very cool!

[@OtterCreek]

Thanks Dave!

[@marklewis298]

Hi Dennis. Is there somewhere on your channel OR (??) that I can find a complete track plan for your Timesaver module?

[@OtterCreek]

Of course the original Time Saver was built by John Allen some time in the mid 60's I believe. I developed my version from a Model Railroader article. I wish I could tell you which issue but unfortunately the PDF I have of the article has no issue number or even month and year. It was a re-hash of several different versions of the TS. As I recall my version is 6" wider than the one in the article. There are certain "rules" involved in how it's laid out. Only a certain number of rolling stock can fit between turnouts yadda yadda, so it can be tailor made to your choice of car length and engine length, which is what I did. See if you can find my email under the "about" section on my home page. Hit me with an email and I'll see if I can help you out with a track plan.

[@marklewis298]

@@OtterCreek Thanks Dennis. I will contact you via email.

[@johnaducci8772]

Can you tell me who makes this locomotive, please?

[@OtterCreek]

That is a "Mountain Models Imports" K-27. I believe they are a division of Precision Scale Company. It is a nice model, with somewhat modernized wiring, and a can motor already installed. As easy as it gets for steam to put DCC in, so I have been told. One of my best running locomotives.
