Model Railroad Switching and Operation Session!

[@MichaelManiscalco-k5k]

Great op session.

[@roady1710]

That definitely was a mighty rough looking op session

[@randysrockandrollrailroad8207]

Very Cool Jimmy, always enjoy your switching videos, if you need them trees trimmed back from the tracks I'm your man, all you pay for is getting me there and back, the rest is free 😆 Thanks,

[@duanesforkandspoonrr10]

Awesome...love watching switching ops....

[@n-scaleunionpacificevansto6569]

[@keeganseva3975]

This was awesome! I really hope to model a local short line one day so this was very informative and fun to watch!

[@ferrisculhay5179]

Great looking layout.

[@CM-ARM]

Hey Jimmy you can even run a Maintenance of Way train too.

[@jolliemark6294]

Good show Jimmy 👍

[@sparky107107]

fun times. we build it so we can run it. nice operating session

[@Maurice00PA]

Nice video. Perhaps next time you could briefly show the track plan so we can understand the movements better. Thanks for sharing.

Hi I'm really new to model railroading but I love it just starting I'm wondering how do you couple and uncouple the cars the way that you're doing I would really like to know how that is done thank you

[@DIYDigitalRailroad]

I actually do that through the magic of video editing, but typically I use a bamboo skewer to uncouple them. I just push it in between the couplers and it will uncouple them.

[@JCmilwaukee]

Is it dc or dcc also awsome layout

[@saspry]

Hmmm.. who woulda thunk an arborist would be needed on a model railroad ;)

[@NewHavenRails]

Great video! Which editing software do you use?

[@ralphgreenwood5857]

Cool Switch Op!! What have You been feeding to those trees?

[@TheTrainFreak]

Hey Jimmy! Looks like it's time for the RR maintenance crew to trim a few limbs back. Really cool ops session. Do you come up with everything in your head on the fly as to what your dropping off and picking up or are you using a car card/waybill system? Also let me know if your going to make some of those tanks in HO. I could use those for my engine facilities for diesel refueling. Thanks! - Jason

[@DIYDigitalRailroad]

Hey! I am currently taking some time off with my family, but I have the 3D Model for the HO Scale Tanks designed!

[@TheTrainFreak]

@@DIYDigitalRailroad awesome! Enjoy time with the family and let me know when you get it uploaded to your Etsy store and I will try to get two if space permits. No rush! Thanks Jimmy! - Jason

[@multicolorfilms]

tree- hit. 1:23

[@nickastridandtoothlessthen5494]

What's up. I love your model railroad videos. These are all ho scale stuff you got, right? Do you come up with these operations?

[@DIYDigitalRailroad]

This is actually N Scale! Yes I design the operations.

[@1babysag]

Jimmy, I purchased some of your buildings. They are great. Do I need to use primer on them before I paint? I have never had 3D printed buildings before and one seemed a little sticky (tacky) but I wasn’t sure what to do. Didn’t know where to write so I just added my comment here. I enjoyed the switching operations.

[@DIYDigitalRailroad]

Hey Frank! Thank you for your purchase. I actually pre prime the buildings. So if they were stored in the heat. They may have gotten a bit tacky.

[@kend3900]

Curious if you have some automatic uncoupling system or you just editing out when you manually uncouple?

[@SirLANsalot]

just useful editing, you can see the trees get bumped between edits (and a car derail).

[@bobsturgis4674]

Jimmy glad to see some trains running,Plus enjoy the bloopers.It just goes to show,it is not easy making the videos.Stay safe everyone,wear your mask,and lets hope for Peace in the world. BLM.🚂🌍✌

[@geoffreyfaltot1006]

HO too finicky and small for me. Hate how they derail or jump the track so often. Everything has to be PERFECT. can't even understand N scale lol great video though!!

[@NewHavenRails]

Great video. Which editing software do you use?
