Long HO Train Snakes Across Layout

At a recent Sipping and Switching Society setup, I filmed my train snaking across the layout. Overland Union Pacific locomotives #8636, #2001, & #8521 pull 95 scratchbuilt rock gondolas. This train replicates a south Texas Martin Marietta rock train being hauled from quarry to distribution facility.

Is there a railroad crossing with miniature people cussing at the train because it’s making them late for work? Gotta go for that extra realism.

[@keith455-73]

A car at the crossing with his arm out the window shooting the finger?

Super layout and a well made video with great views. Thank you. Greetings Joe 😊

[@robertnelson432]

I like that "S" curve

[@GlendinningEngineering]

Thanks, it's fun to watch trains rolling through it.

[@mysticrailroad]

Thanks!

long the long coal drag. i wanna run mine now

[@derekalexander4030]

Your description is wrong. It says long train, that is a super long awesome train with 95 cars full of rock winding downhill through a beautiful S curve!

[@stu176mmm]

Fantastic layout

[@ВалерийФилиппов-д8о]

Super.

[@IbethemanSam]

What club is this?

[@GlendinningEngineering]

Sipping & Switching Society of NC. We set up ever year at the NRV train show in Raleigh.

[@liamniallhunt1414]

Wow! The natural curves make it look so much more realistic! Fantastic!

[@cameron.t]

I like that all of the rocks are piled differently

[@DuesyJ29]

Ok, but how do you get so many cars to pull together so easily? I've heard that many cars is hard to keep from derailing. Do you add extra weight for example?

[@GlendinningEngineering]

Hi I add extra weight to the cars, and ensure the cars roll smoothly by using new Walthers Proto or Athearn RTR wheelsets. The mainlines have broad curves and the track is kept clean.

[@davidmuse7004]

Nice catch!!

[@TrainWork]

Yep, that’s a long rock train.

[@igorkocergin3425]

95 + 3 😮

[@DavidUrban-y3c]

Cabooses should be mandatory on model trains. Just my opinion. Have a blessed and a Merry Christmas 🎄 everyone

[@jimallen4809]

Wow!

[@whiteknightcat]

I do believe I've seen those cars on rock trains on the Austin Subdivision!

[@JesusFlores-mz3ks]

How many cars?????

[@DavidAllen-dj7sd]

95 cars

[@mikeoudt3216]

Cool

[@hartmutlorentzen9659]

I miss details… I know better layouts. This is for me a kind of gigantomania.

[@ShawnCalay]

The guy just spent 2.8 million building it....let him at least save up for that...😂😂😂
