I remember riding my bicycle downtown in the early 50s to watch Street work of the Springfield Suburban switching several places. Was originally an interurban streetcar line. Picked up cars at an interchange NYC on one end and DT&I at the other. My grandfather rode the inter urban to work with his carpenter chest. Sure brought back memories, thanks BobS

I have never seen a more realistic industrial street running area. Everything down to leaning fences, cracks and imperfections in pavement and sidewalks and amazing undergrowth. Weathering has been raised to an art form here. Just amazing.

To Don.. I do not know you but I have watched this video and read the comments and please let me say honestly I have just had my mind BLOWN! The retail on this layout to the streets with manholes and concrete slabs to the buildings with the Rexall neon sign and the cars and trucks! The perfect weathering of EVERY aspect on each car perfectly done I must say and then to top it all off the soundtrack... Like I said before my mind was BLOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks beautifully industrial and the sound is great! I bet it took more time to synchronize the sound then to perform the actual switching! I remember seeing this kind of switching as a kid in San Francisco: giant, noisy machines through concrete canyons…

Exceptional piece of highly detailed work, detail is very realistic, sound effects match actual equipment, even the background & lighting for the time of day is visually amazing. I've worked on a switch crew in the past and not to be critical but one thing noticed ,was during street/building switching situations, there is always a switch/ brakeman mounted on the end car with a radio or lantern , unless building or dock clearance will not permit when the engine is shoving from the opposite end and visibility is not 100 %, done for obvious safety reasons.

Ok 75 times, gorgeous ! I don´t know why you choose that era, but 👍. Shorter cars and locos = tighter curves & turnouts to save space and more cars for same ltrain lenght create a more realistic illusion. Try that with modern big units and autorack. 2 forty feet boxcars are shorter than an autorack. Old downtown buildings are pretty high and squeze down train size. Specially in that S curve. Modern steel warehouses won´t make the same effect. Finally no nonsens freight cars and buildings covered by pseudo artists with tags. Ah the good old days.... I need to look at it a second time.❤

@Industrialmodels26 жыл бұрын
@@uusa2000 I wrote an article for O Scale Trains a while back on this. You may find it online- was 07 or 08'. Basically all I do is put one coat down over the rails with a trowel and let dry. It will shrink up and be cracked which is fine. Then put another coat down with your trowel and get it nice and smooth. Once that dries, take a drywall hand saw and use the tip and pull toward you inside of the rail. It is the perfect width for a flange. Sand everything and vacuum up the excess. Finally paint to your desired color.
