Operations | Little bit of Local, Hauler and Behind the Scenes

[@mikedurhan9941]

Congratulations on surviving the summer, Rick. Looking forward to an interesting and active fall and winter season.

[@benmoreau8404]

I wonder if its possible to put in a double switch on the fascia, you know one near the yard and one in front of the bridge on the same tortoise?

[@jaybird111207]

Nice ops and behind the scenes Rick, glad it's starting to cool down for you a little. Look forward to seeing more progress and ops sessions. Thanks for sharing. Have a good night and stay safe. Happy modeling!! - Jason

Hi Rick missed the last few videos I will catch up, been remodeling my house, renting my downstairs, plus doing stuff for Harris,

[@garrettlayout6598]

❤ once again awesome

[@my3boysonly]

Manually relocating equipment on my layout I like to call ”The Hand of God”.

[@TheGulfwind]

I call it the 5-finger switcher 😄😁

[@David-yo5re]

Yep, the old 0-5-0.

[@FGLKPaul]

GP Finger-5 for me. Lol

[@jcure]

shoulda coulda done the loco breakup like the big boys. That said, the way things are laid out, might be too bigga PIA. Centerbeam loads; I sanded to pins so they barely stick together. I load and unload cars alot. Also use them on the very frail Atlas centerbeams. I have not tried them on the new Rapido centerbeams but should work ok. Cool down woot

[@randydobson1863]

Hi Rick & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Rick & Hello Benjamin & Friends Randy

[@markiannacone2103]

Awesome, I wait every week for your videos , questions ,what number turn out for staging, #4 or # 6 & do you use cork road bed

[@socalscalemodels]

Thanks. I use small Peco turnouts on the whole layout and do not use cork roadbed. I lay track on the 1 inch foam board that covers the layout.

[@markconnell5365]

Those 5 cars in the yard had been set out ready for a run on the layout 2 videos ago. Oh well, things change.

[@socalscalemodels]

You got that right!

[@realtuffdude]

Nice session. Nice rolling stock. Nice scenery. Is your track code 100 or 83? Looks like 100. Thanks.

[@socalscalemodels]

all code 100

[@realtuffdude]

@@socalscalemodels . Thanks for getting back to me. Looks nice. Very nice scenery. Very lifelike.

[@Jordan_Lunt]

Question for you what is your controller called and how do you like it, I’m looking at changing mine form DC to DCC

[@socalscalemodels]

I have an ESU Cab Controller. Touched on it in todays video (Sep 20). I like it but it's delicate.

[@jwrailve3615]

@@socalscalemodelsI plan on using that for my main layout, my smaller industrial park layout once I get the fascia border in I’ll run my ECU power cab system as it felt time to upgrade it from the old reliable EZ command system which will be able to be switched back on when running my H10-44 on occasion after I get one more loco hopefully a VO1000 dcc sound switcher

[@marcoanthonyconyers2562]

Hey Rick why you don't use your other 5 engines like the 3 Yellow and black all to gather more and that one at the other end of the yard ? 😢 but I ❤ your style and show plus how you run everything 😂 please keep on doing it. So Rick is the fire's close to you? My Engine's that I have is 7 conrail,3 CSX, 5 NS, well you have a great weekend keep cool.

[@socalscalemodels]

no fire danger just smoke and ash here

[@roady1710]

Next video just filming 1080 P that should be sufficient I would think
