Wow, Jason! Anthony really sent you quite a haul and assortment of different boxcars and tankers... a lot of cool looking ones there. The layout is coming on, and it is still so cool to see you building your own switches! Nice!

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Anthony!

[@SchuylkillRiverValley]

Your roster sure got a bump from Anthony - very cool! The sawmill complex is coming along nicely.

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks John!

[@jimtedesco]

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Jim!

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Lynn!

[@eightonetwo]

Great update! Fantastic haul! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks John!

[@williambryant5946]

The bulk sugar car probably had the doors boarded up and the sugar actually filled the entire inside of the boxcar and they shoveled it out to unload them. Anthony hooked y'all up! Nice! 👍

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks William!

[@duanesforkandspoonrr10]

Nice update....great additions to the fleet

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Duane!

[@mysticrailroad]

the sawmill complex is developing nicely! it seems that no matter what, a layout of some size is gonna have leveling issues in one spot or another. wow! love that NYC stuff! Anthony did you right man. that's a ton of awesome rolling stock. cool vid Jason! :)

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks John!

[@theodorerivera81]

Another awesome video, great stuff my friend.

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@RonMontagueSWRR]

Great update and haul from GSB. I had that issue on my last layout with the middle of the layout sagging. Result from taking shortcuts and lack of bracing. Lessons learned.

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Ron! I agree with that but sometimes the lumber it self is warped and you can add as much bracing as you want but if the lumber is warped, that doesn't help.

[@joeraderblackrockcentralrr]

Good update and great haul from Anthony

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Joe!

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

Great update video! Lots of great stuff in the box! -Jenny

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Jenny!

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

@@TheTrainFreak Your welcome.

[@mhbpodnk]

Looks good and you always lay a level the length of the track and shim the track up to the bottom of the level just a thought

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks! If it was just a piece of plywood being a hair shorter than the next piece, I would agree with that but this whole sheet isn't level due to a sag. Shims won't fix that unfortunately.

[@WhiteRiverLine]

Nice hopper!

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Drew!

[@lowcountryrailroad7701]

Layout looks nice. GSB hooked you up good thanks for sharing David @LCRR

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks David!

[@CM-ARM]

Wow what a haul Jason. No you need to build a train with just the railcars from Anthony. Way 😎 cool

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Chris!

[@mannyfernandez2921]

nice video jason

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Manny!

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Great update on the layout, I like those great Northern box cars, don’t like those metal coupling clips used on blue box stuff, I am donating a bunch of blue box to the train club , nice gift GSBelt ,excellent Video, great helper too

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks James! I don't care for those clips either but you can replace those with Kadee coupler boxes and screw them in.

[@ozarkmidlandsouthernrailway]

Great update, Jason! Enjoyed the mail call too! Very nice all the way around! Jason, did I not give you an OM&S coffee mug when we got together??? Bill

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Bill! I do not believe I received one but I will double check.

[@ozarkmidlandsouthernrailway]

@@TheTrainFreak Good morning, Jason. The cup was I believe in a small, brown, cup sized rectangular box. Bill

[@thomasgrassi8817]

Jason Nice Update, Good job JR Let me see about the tortoise part I have two in stock I can get the size off that piece and see if I can replicate it. I will let you know. Nice mail Call

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Thomas! Someone showed me where you can buy spare parts but thanks for the offer. That might be a good 2nd option in the future!

[@Ausmerica]

I'm missing the tension adopter. I have done the artwork, but haven't had a chance to buy a new 3D printer. Dispatchers are going to protest on your handy work as they wont be able to rail fan in that corner...lol Fantastic mail call too, enjoy.

[@TheTrainFreak]

Arty, check Heath's response. He actually found a 6 pack of them.

[@steve87thpsap]

Hey nice update, still got stuff to go. Hey I’ll take the truck chip loader. Have lots of spots for it. Cool stuff from Anthony. Check your email for a video short, lumber yard, water served, not water fed.

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Steve! I did check out the video, much appreciated! I'll get with you on the woodchip truck loader.

[@randysrockandrollrailroad8207]

😊

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Randy!

[@cncpgreatlakesdiv4896]

just take a blue paper clip stick in near the cupler and blue flag it till its time to nove it.👍👍

[@TheTrainFreak]

That's an idea!

[@steve87thpsap]

Nice update, still work to do. Hey check you email for a short link to a mill. Hey I will take the truck chip loader, could use one.

[@williambryant5946]

You should really do like you said about using very little ballast on those tracks especially the further they go onto the complex. You know how much bark and debris fall off of logs and how the wood chips will be everywhere. The track going through a area that is graveled for vehicle traffic would have just the rails exposed and they'd be level with the graveled area. The side tracks will be full of dirt from years of bark and wood decomposing over the track with lots of bits of bark and wood splinters and chips too and plenty of weeds and low grass patches included with very little ballast exposed. I've got a watch list on my channel titled Bad Track On Purpose. It's a watch list made up of videos other people have put out on how they have made terriblely neglected track with some even have the rails all wavy side to side up and down and each rail in different direction in some place but kept in gauge somehow. Also videos of just embedding the track into the scenery like I talked about above. I've made a bunch of playlist of model railroading information as sort of a reference for myself and others of many different people's videos showing their techniques on different things about model railroading. I've got a Ways To Make Trees playlist with 170 different videos of people making trees in all different ways and species. But anyway check out the bad track on purpose playlist it might give you some ideas. This is going to be an awesome scene on your layout with some good switching action and lots of fun. Good video. 👍

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks William! You were kind of reading my mind as I was saying it on the video. Those ties aren't going to be shown except where it comes in off the mainline and probably that one switch over by the teepee burner between the points. I'll go check out your playlist on that bad track.

[@HumancityJunction]

You can buy those tortoise parts you are missing, do not ask me how I know. Circuitron 800-6503

[@TheTrainFreak]

Thanks Heath! Extras could always come in handy.
