Prototypical operations on a beautiful layout with amazing videography...it doesn't get too much better than this. The scene at 36:30 looked so real that I had to do a double take. Superb video, thanks for all of the club's efforts, very well done.

We have 2 videographers that have their own channel and belong to our club. "Southern Railfanning" and "Maker Jeff". Checkout their channels as well. This entire video was done by Southern Railfanning aka Scott Colagiacomo

I’m really enjoying your videos. Everything from the overall layout presentation, operation and videography is outstanding! Looks like a great place to operate prototypically.

Good times!

The superb scenery keeps distracting me from the Trains! I wish I lived near your club. Though I probably wouldn't bother doing my own layout. :)

[@centralfloridarailroadmodelers]

If you're in the area on a Saturday, come visit the layout!

[@mickqld3003]

I'm in Queensland Australia, but if I ever make it to Florida, I sure will visit. In the meantime, I'll keep watching here!

[@DanReichenbach]

Fantastic videos that keep detailing your layout! Ive definitely subscribed. I did have a question. On the return trip for the 1st local to Livingston, why didn't the loco run around the train to run cab forward instead of shoving? Would this mean that a conductor or brakeman would have had to be on the front of the first car the whole return trip in the prototype or does this rule not apply once the train is on dispatch control?

[@centralfloridarailroadmodelers]

In theory, yes a conductor must ride the first car when shoving. The yard is just around the corner. If we did the run-a-round, the nearest crossover is in the next town over which is Nitro. That would require mainline track time from the dispatcher. With that said, either way is an option. I guess it comes down to which way is easier to get the job done.

[@paulbackenstose3384]

Love your layout, but not one of your better videos. Liked the ones where the captions told you what moves the train was making.

[@centralfloridarailroadmodelers]

Thanks for the tips!
