N Scale Albuquerque Carnuel & Tijeras RR 4 Layout Update 103

Little work and lots of running !!!

[@michaelsullivan3581]

Watching trains on your layout is always fun! The modern Train with all the fantastically weathered rolling stock was a special treat! Most of it looked like Gavin's work. Really enjoyed this episode! Thank you so much Mike!

[@N-Scale]

Thanks Michael. I did the locos and Gavin did some of the cars.

Thank You Norman !!!

[@dan319611]

Mike Fantastic video. It was great to see the rolling stock as previously mentioned, the weathering and graffiti are well displayed! I also like the tank farm that shows a heavily weathered, moderately weathered and a brand-new tank. I don't know why I missed that aspect from your past videos. Again, Mike thanks keep up the good work hope things with health are going better. God Bless

[@N-Scale]

Thanks Dan. You are the only one who has noticed the tanks !!!

[@N-Scale]

Thanks Brother !!!!

[@craiglordable]

Sort of funny how time will let you know you have to make modifications to get to the trains. Great video/

[@N-Scale]

LOL For Sure

[@gregbowen617]

Great video Mike! I was wondering about the modern train with the graffitied cars and caboose… don’t usually see you running these! Thanks for posting, cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@N-Scale]

That caboose is actually considered (by BNSF) as a Shoving Car or Riding Platform

[@jamesdenny4734]

Mike, I think I've been watching to many 0 gauge layouts running. 9 times outta ten their trains are always flying around the layouts. Your scale speed seems kinda slow, but I enjoyed it! 😊 😎

[@N-Scale]

Actually that was about 40 MPH in scale ( by my speedo)

[@jacko9759]

Nice Mike, thanks for sharing 😊

[@N-Scale]

Thanks for looking Jack !!

[@troy.peters]

Fun!

[@upsd402]

Looks great!!!

[@N-Scale]

Thank You Sir

[@user-gu8mp6yy4m]

Just put a set of hinges there and make a door. Nothing left to mess with.

[@tanzj]

Looks great Mike.....John

[@N-Scale]

Thank You John !! Mike

[@michaelamoroso4561]

Mike, is your next step to do an Operations Session? Layout is really looking great.

[@N-Scale]

I hate operations. reminds me of work!!

[@caryhocker]

Mike, how do you clean all that hidden track? I'm thinking of putting train staging on a semi-hidden lower level of my own (forthcoming) Horny Toad division ATSF layout, and this is something I've worried a bit about. Nicely weathered modern train, btw! Is that your work or Gavin's? It is so well done it kind of makes me wish there was at least a bit of graffiti like that during the early 40's (I've never seen an example of it that early).

[@N-Scale]

I clean all track with two CMXN track cleaning cars. They are no longer available. I did the two locos and Gavin did the cars (years ago).

[@jeffreyeash9720]

How do you determine if a train has a caboose or not? To me a train is not complete without one it's a phobia I have so sue me anyway the layout is looking awesome

[@N-Scale]

The modern train should have had a flashing Fred on the back but the battery was dead.

[@northmill70]

Thanks for a great series. I have learned a lot for you. How do you light that caboose? Do you ever run switching operations? If so, what scheme do you use. Keep up the great work.

[@N-Scale]

Thanks . The caboose ligts are from Richmond Control and expensive. I do not care for switching and if I do it , it is all in my head and or verbal to someone. Thanks , Mike

[@stanleym2679]

If possible,paint and ground cover with plexiglass removable, for a tunnel visual scene

[@kerraedge4006]

Thought you might put a hinge on that section and just open up like a door.

[@N-Scale]

Nope , No room to swing it with pics on the wall

[@charlesmcclure5994]

Hey Mike it's your railroad run whatever you like, if you really want to mess with people run a CP engine

[@N-Scale]

We just bought 2 CP unit at the club !!

[@Conn653]

Question: Do you add any weights into the cars, to help keep them on the tracks?

[@N-Scale]

Yes I usually wheight to NMRA standards. Mike

[@kenlynch6332]

[@othmarbrunner9639]

nice layout with the exception of the kato track too toy like

[@N-Scale]

That may be , But Kato track ALWAYS runs anything
