KCE Locomotive Overload: 20K Subscriber Special!

Filmed: 11/10/18
Hope you have a bib or something with this video. I don't usually do videos to celebrate statistics, but a commenter asked what I was doing for my 20,000 subscriber video, and I literally had no plans for anything of the sort. He asked when I was less than 100 subs to go, and thought I'd have to think about it and that I'd have time.
That didn't last long as 20K came within that same week. So in scrambling to come up with something, I thought I'd feature almost every model railroaders favorite subject. Locomotives. Something that would not be hard to do, especially with the loco addicts we have in the club. So, here you go.
We start off with the a few spots back in the staging areas of the layout. Afterwards, we move out to the public side of the layout and hit each large gathering of power in the various spots around the layout. Starting with Mike's Jackson Yard facilities with all of his IC/GM&O and related lines, then wrapping it up with the Enterprise/Excelsior/Broadway facilities that belong to Dad and me. Basically we have a bunch of Locomotive addicts in the club and we aren't afraid to show it. :D
Keep in mind though, none of these collections happened over night, these are years and years worth of work. We are also fully aware of how... well, ridiculously obscene it is, but hey, there's worse things in the world to be obsessed with!
Hope you enjoyed this look at our hoarding and I want to say thanks to everyone for the support of this channel. Without you all, I don't think I'd still be doing this after ... wow, 8 years.
Also, if you go to my Facebook page linked below, I'll have a large number of pics from this shoot posted. They will be up within the first hour of this video going live, so if you go look and they aren't there yet, check back by 10am Central and they should be up by then
See you next time and thanks for watching!

Awesome locomotive models and layout ty for showing us your video Jason, and congratulations on 20k!

[@bobmcweeney7459]

So, that's what a trillion horsepower looks like. IMPRESSIVE! Beautiful layout, thanx for sharing.

[@douglaskirk2543]

My Favorites are KCS Loco's in the different color schemes in their history. FANTASTIC layout with the NEW editions .

[@cliffbailey3989]

You all have done a nice job

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@galaxyrailfanning7860]

Wow that is a massive amount of locomotives! Congrats on 20K man!

[@FlashJonesTrains]

Well done here man. Congrats on the 20K that's a big milestone and a great sign for this hobby we all love! I can't stop drooling over all the massive locomotive fleet in which you all posses. Its truly awsome! Congrats again and please do post more content!

[@J3scribe]

Holy smokes that's a lot of power!

[@RailfanJason]

haha... yeah, we have a ridiculous amount of power. :D

[@RailfanS1]

Wow, congratulations on the 20000 subs. A very impressive club fleet, I can’t imagine how complex the wiring must be to power all of that. You must have an equally impressive amount of boosters to be able to have all of the sound units idling all the time. Thanks for sharing.

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks! Actually most of the track power is controlled through the route selective Peco switches we use. This greatly reduces the wiring. In fact, most of the sound you're hearing is only coming from a small handful of units in each area. But we do have eight 8amp boosters, spread around the layout, plus three main units (one for each of the three mainlines) that controls the boosters. Also to conserve power, when not in use the big yards have master kill switches that shut power off to them so they aren't draining any more power than necessary.

[@tommythomason6187]

I'd suggest a Neopolitain Mastiff to guard that locomotive collection, lol!

[@ETrain-mv4ck]

My grandpa loves those Illinois Central engines. He bought one at a train show in Dubuque,IA a couple weeks ago. Congrats on your 20K Subs. Keep up the good work on those videos.

[@RailfanJason]

Yeah, cool. The guy in the club who has all the IC units grew up near the IC if I remember correctly. He collects any railroad associated with them. Thanks!

[@quintinbarnhart]

I love it! Thanks for awesome content!

[@RailfanJason]

Appreciate it, thanks a bunch!

[@joestrainworldvideos3977]

Engines. Engines. Engines. Fantastic.

[@WhiteRiverRails]

Great collections! I like how the members have different facilities for their engines.

[@BNSFFur]

The OMRA needs to see this

[@modelnoob1948]

WOW this really Massiv Power !!! Congratulätions for 20.000 Subs . Great Video . THX

[@RailfanJason]

haha... yeah, it's a lot. It's a sickness :D Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

[@tamamman]

Congrats on the 20K Jason! Massive layout, how many locomotives and rolling stock at a guess?

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks Kevin! I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't. But we could fill up a hobby store with it all. :D

[@razvandobos9759]

Such a large amount of locomotives! Nice set there Jason!

[@randysrockandrollrailroad8207]

Congratulations on 20k, wow, what nice collections of beautiful locos, I'm kinda parshal to the Rock Island engines they look awesome, the UP is my 2nd favorite lol. Thank you for sharing this video. -Randy

[@RailfanJason]

Glad you enjoyed the show, thanks! Rock Island is fairly new to the layout, and UP is actually my favorite.

[@BNSFFur]

Do new members also make a spot of the layout for there power of how's it work

[@RailfanJason]

Basically, if you build a section, you can put whatever you want on it.

[@chuckhalen9543]

So awesome to see the classics. ICG, some SP, Rock and ATSF. Where was the MoPac? And those ICG units looking rough, love it. Jason, is there any chance you could do a video of the layout at night. Just to see all the lighting around the engine shops and buildings? Be great to see resting, idling locos with their number boards dimly lit up, etc. You all have a wonderful layout and always look forward to each of your videos. Thanks and congrats on all the subs.

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the show. For a while, the guy who has all the Rock Island power was collecting MoPac. I think his interest changed though and he sold off a bunch of the MoPac equipment he had and started going heavy on the Rock. Unfortunately though, dong a night shoot would be difficult since lighting hasn't really taken off yet. It's rare when anyone is at the club after dark, so we've just not taken the time to do much lighting. I want to get some more on mine, but it just comes down to time and money to do it.

[@nathandelay]

Cool layout

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks!

[@lionellance]

Wow..awesome.. just a few engines.. lol.. thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.. Lance

[@RailfanJason]

Yeah, just a few. :D Thanks!

[@csxbaltimoresubdivision7746]

Great video, congratulations on 20,000 sub,love the engine collection.....

[@RailfanJason]

Appreciate it, glad you enjoyed the show. Thanks!

[@washingtonstaterailproduct5382]

Sweet engines! How do you guys keep track of who's is who's?

[@RailfanJason]

Thanks! It's really not that difficult. Most of the members have their own areas to keep their fleets in. Though there are some exceptions, a lot of the guys don't model the same railroads, so that helps too.

[@ATSFVentaSpurNscaler]

Hi Jason! Great video with all those locos! You weren't kidding about their sheer numbers! What scale are they anyway--HO, N or another? -from Tom Pilling

[@J3scribe]

HO

[@RandomGamesProductions]

Nice layout and locomotives I would like to go and see the layout

[@easternwoods4378]

That's got to be several hundred thousand worth of locomotives. Is that all club owned or mixed? How do you keep track of who owns what. And then there's the rolling stock. That's one reason the hobby is so expensive.

[@RailfanJason]

Honestly, we have no idea how much is sitting on the layout. Each area with power belongs to individual members. They know what they spend on each unit, but no one has ever take the time to add it all up. Would probably give a quarter of the membership a heart attack if they found out. But that's how we keep track too, each area belongs to a different member and we all model different railroads, so we know what goes where.

[@easternwoods4378]

@@RailfanJason thanks PS how many members

[@Midway_CV-41]

Stahp showing off ;)

[@RailfanJason]

Never! :D

[@msmrrc-midsouthmodelrailro7075]

Would love to meet who has all the Illinois Central power.

[@chadmartin2170]

This is not a club. It's an artist guild! Please tell Mike that his I.C. and GM&O fleet is a history lesson! Congrats on the subs btw. It's a no brainer that you have a devout following. Thank you for sharing with me as well Sir.

[@владимирвасильцов-д3ф]
