Running A JMRI Manifest On The OMRA's Frisco Layout

[@aaronl_trains_and_planes]

I'm fixing to model the Arkansas & Missouri going to all the same places but in a modern era with all the ALCOs and SD70ACe's. I need to come by and see this layout. I live in Rogers, AR. but was born and raised in Fort Smith. Great vid!

[@TouchoftheBrushModelWeathering]

Awesome video! I'm Joey and I work for the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad with Alex. I can't wait to see this in person!

[@WhiteRiverRails]

Thank you. Definitely need to stop by sometime!

I like the old style frisco diesel engine 5047 locomotive dcc sound for my ho scale Thayer missouri subdivision layout!❤

[@randallellison6421]

Awesome video!

[@SleeTheSloth]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@AllenCNW441]

Nice to see the use of Caboose Industries switch throws - makes operations like this more realistic.

[@boylesterminalshops6841]

I appreciated the Trains Across America vibe this has

[@MisfitRailSystem]

I need to make a trip out their way some day. Ideally when I get a bit more of my motive power upfitted and tuned.

[@BNSF1848]

Great Video, always enjoy doing similar ops like these at my club

[@galaxyrailfanning7860]

Very cool!

[@stevek4153]

Nice F-units!

[@beeble2003]

14:27 "This section of Springdale has many railroad crossings, all in a row, so the engineer's constantly having to blow the horn while doing work." But not while backing through crossings, right? On shoves, I thought a crew member on the ground was supposed to ensure the crossing was clear, before allowing the engineer to proceed. The engineer -- especially on an F-unit -- doesn't know exactly where the back of his train is, so can't be sure to blow the horn at the right time.

[@DariusBell732]

More than not a crew wouldn’t honk but occasionally when there’s a few cars between the engine and a crossing the engineer will still honk to just bring more attention to the train even if someone’s already protecting. We do it when we cross very busy roads if we are only shoving a few cars in real life at my job.

[@ethannixtrainschannel8806]

I like Frisco trains!

[@TomKlimczak]

Nice video. The horn sounds like it's in the next room though, even when the power is right by the camera.

[@noyesphotography1979]

Any ho scale train stores in the area?

[@WhiteRiverRails]

Iron Planet Hobbies in Rogersville, MO.

[@BrandonWagner93]

What type of sound is on those F units?

[@WhiteRiverRails]

ESU Loksound with a custom RS5T horn recording.

[@BrandonWagner93]

It sounds great. What sound file?

[@jefferykeeper9034]

The problem with this is that manifest trains don't do local work.

[@DPBGMODELRAILROAD]

I think in this case the word manifest means the cars in the local train. Since this is basal 1960’s layout, I am not sure if though freights were called “manifest”, on the MP of the period they were called “red ball” freights.

[@johnathentribble]

I like trains I have three

[@paulbackenstose3384]

Very nice layout and video, BUT sound of train is too loud as compared to narration, too much slamming into standing cars.
