Operations on the White Creek Railroad

[@trainmansorrell]

I wish my yard was huge like this. I would so have something like this at my home! Thanks for sharing.

[@tjbuege]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@АлександрКосенький-м9о]

Ой какая красота,очень познавательно. Хороший фильм.большое спасибо❤❤❤в каждом городе где полмиллиона населения. Сделать такую железную дорогу.

[@tjbuege]

Thank you for watching!

[@MK06563]

Wow! I love it! Where can I buy tracks?

[@tjbuege]

I've never built anything at this scale, I just operate on others' layouts. If you do a search for "1-1/2 inch scale track" you should find a number of websites where you can purchase it. Thanks for watching!

[@ilikeminecraftgaming9331]

I went on a railroad like this except it was a passenger train when I was real little,probably around six ish.I was in my Thomas and Friends phase at the time and I thought it was the coolest thing,I even got it ride a deasel!

มันสวย..งามมาก..ฉันชอบมัน..มาก..มาก..love..u..Fc..2019

[@tjbuege]

yes, it can be very peaceful riding through the woods early in the morning. There is plenty of wild life, especially around the lake. Thanks for watching!

[@new_source]

Very cool video. I i got a qestion...Thats is something strangly xD This is still is model of railroad...but it's so big...what is this? i mean...what is scale ? As i know big one is G-Scale...but this isn't G-Scale..

[@tjbuege]

New Source, good question! This railroad is 1/8th scale, more commonly referred to as “inch-and-a-half (to the foot)”. There is no letter designation that I’ve seen. The track gauge (for standard gauge track) is 7-1/4” between the rails. Thanks for watching!

[@IACUnited13]

I think the landfill op might have been more efficient if you parked the train just before the switch into the siding, pulled the boxcar between the siding switches, tied it down, retrieve the tanker, tie the tanker down in the siding, while in that position you can runaround the boxcar, spot the boxcar and the shove the tanker back to the train. When they tacked into the gondolas there was enough room to to operate the switch for a single car to move into the landfill area.

[@tjbuege]

You are probably right. But actually being there, the best moves are not always readily seen. That’s what makes it fun...trying to find a better way of doing things! :)

[@trevorgoodman2323]

This may be a stupid question but what powers those engines, are they electric or gas

[@tjbuege]

Trevor Goodman thank you for watching my video. Not a stupid question. The “diesel” locomotive featured in this video is powered by a small lawn tractor engine and uses normal gas. Some people use propane. Some of the live steamers use real coal to heat the water and produce steam.

[@budharriss1416]

Very well done layout, with realism to boot. what is the length of the mainline?

[@tjbuege]

Not my layout, but Ive had the privilege to operate on it several times now. Mainline is 5 actual miles, with a total of 8 miles of track overall, on 120+ acres.

[@gauravpandey8528]

@@tjbuege hi bro i want buy this

[@johnsmith-wk2tb]

Cool. But I cant figure out what's going on. Dont we get to take a ride?

[@tjbuege]

This video is all about operating the layout like a real railroad, delivering cars to industries, and picking cars up to return to the yard. The crew running the train pics up a string of 5-6 cards along with their waybills: plastic laminated cards that indicate where the car is to be delivered. It's up to the crew to determine the most efficient route for the trip. It's quite fun! Thanks for watching!

[@mikefit3343]

I could so here for hours on weekends and just...drift off watching this. Love trains.

[@spatzvomalexanderplatz3200]

Pretty cool! All these shunting operations looks like fun! How much freight cars do you have at white creek? Every station has somewhere sided cars... ...awesome!!! Well done!

[@tjbuege]

I have no idea how many freight cars there are. Hundreds I would guess. And it is a lot of fun! Thanks for watching!

[@jonathansukosky9701]

At the end of your video is that yard for a barge/ferry?

[@tjbuege]

Hi, thank you for watching my video, and good question! It's not technically a yard, but yes, the tracks would each lead onto the barge. Since there is not a barge, we simply leave the cars on the three tracks.

[@jonathansukosky9701]

That’s cool! Any plans on them getting a barge

[@tjbuege]

@@jonathansukosky9701 Sorry, I have no idea. I haven't been back to the layout in a couple years. I doubt there is an actual barge in the plans, though. Too risky, wouldn't want to dump the cars or locomotives in the pond!

[@stonesoup-bv6nn]

are you going to your operation videos it is really interesting

[@tjbuege]

Thanks for watching!

[@claudecharles3679]

These trains are so cute! What's a bit ridiculous is the humans sitting on them.

[@saqibnaimqadri]

@timb is it readymade available in the market or u made it on ur own?

[@tjbuege]

The track is all hand laid. They purchase the rail and cut it to length, they cut their own ties and put sections of track together in the shop. After grading they lay the section of track and ballast it. Some of the cars and locomotives are kits and some people like to scratch build their own.

[@KandiKlover]

I'd like to have my own little private rail like this but for real use instead of pretend play with those tiny houses. Hauling rocks and dirt and heavy boxes and christmas decorations around the property.

[@poshingtonno1157]

yes same

[@tjbuege]

I wouldn't be surprised if they use the railroad to actually haul debris off the track, and for other reasons like you state. Thanks for watching!

[@chrishinnant3924]

Grandma's molasses tank, how cool is that.

[@tjbuege]

It took me until now to finally figure out why people keep saying "grandma's molasses" in the comments. It's printed on the tank! I never noticed that before. lol Thanks for watching!

[@chrishinnant3924]

@@tjbuege it's funny that you're just now noticing that.

You can search for White Creek Railroad and find their website. It's a private railroad. Thanks for watching!

[@riograndeman]

the engines are powered by both gas/hydraulic and electric motors ....the gas/hydraulics are just that.......they have a 5 to 16hp horizontal shaft gas engine that is then coupled to a hydraulic pump that sends pressurized hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic motors mounted on one axle of each truck then other axle)s are chain driven off of that. ...or engine is coupled to a hydrostatic transmission ...which is essentially a self contained hydraulic unit ...engine turns the input shaft of transmission then the pressurized hydraulic fluid turns the output shaft that is then connected to the axles by a right angle gear box or chain drive to a jackshaft running to gear boxes on the trucks. then there are electric locos as well that run on 12V - 24v - 36v - 48 Volt systems this usually is comprised of 2-4 large marine batteries wired in paralell with a motor controller and a couple heavy duty electric motors 2-5 hp that the axles are connected to. along with all associated wiring. these locomotives can vary in size and price...with small locos running $3 - $7000.....while the locomotive shown here will run $12 -$15000 or more new with used engines running $8 - $10,000 now then these locomotives and cars can be had ready made or partially built....depending on the supplier and what you want and just how deep your pockets are..... or you can build your own in your garage there is no real right or wrong way to build a locomotive...its yours,.... build it your way. now then yes there are true live steam engines that are owned and operated as well .....everything you see a steam locomotive crew do is done exactly same way just smaller scale ...shoveling coal feeding wood into firebox,... watching water level,... monitioring steam pressure all of it...trouble is instead of 3 man crew its a 1 man party ..the engineer....he does all 3 jobs running a live steam engine....though most have few friends that act as support crew and the steam guys are kinda tight knit group that all know each other and help each other run......now the steam locos.... as you know take very specialized knowledge that not everybody has in order to operate one ....not to mention the staggering cost...... small simple used steam loco ....can start at $15000...and go to Hell from there .......Ok how bout other end of spectrum....UP 4-8-8-4 Big Boy.....that will set you back $250,000 - $300,000 or so ...!! the track on which the train run on are specially made out of steel which is extruded just like the real track is then is assembled into 10 - 20 ft track panels on a special track building jig then carried on flat cars to end of track laid in place connected then ballasted and leveled ...switches are built same way. if you really want to know more about this scale simply search KZbin for Train Mountain or Maricopa Live Steamers Golden Gate Live steamers Ridgecrest Live steamers Riverside Live Steamers ....or Google Live Steam train clubs for information on Locomotives for sale,... Builders,... and rolling stock visit the website Discover Live Steam.com a central hub of anything and everything related to buying and selling 7.5 gauge equipment.

How much does the engine weigh

[@tjbuege]

I'm not exactly sure, but I would guess several hundred pounds. I know if comes off the track, you need a long lever bar to get it back up on the track. Thanks for watching!

[@riograndeman]

To answer a few questions,..... This is what is known by several names ....as 1/8th scale ...7.5 gauge ,... live steam scale,.....inch and a half scale ,....1.6 gauge .....it is all the same scale ...there is 1 size smaller that s known as the 1 inch scale or 4 3/4 gauge......above is most popular 7.5 gauge .....there are tracks like these scattered all over the nation....both privately owned and clubs as well. with the largest being Train Mountain in Chiloquin Oregon. with some 40 actual miles of track. the engines are powered by both gas/hydraulic and electric motors Larry

[@yusufalik4802]

In India from where we can buy this

[@tjbuege]

Sorry, I really have no idea. I suggest searching for information on live steam railroads. 1/8 scale or inch and a half scale. Thanks for watching!

[@haidhani1382]

Tiny but strong

[@tjbuege]

Yes, it's amazing what some of these locomotives can pull.

[@kiranbiradar3887]

Which is your country

[@TheDutchFighters]

Was here ever a coaster (runaway) train?

[@tjbuege]

Oh sure, it happens occasionally, though I don’t think I’ve ever seen it happen. But that’s why we attach the chains between cars...to attempt to prevent runaways in case the couplers break loose.

[@KandiKlover]

I refuse to use chains. Breaks the realism.

[@tjbuege]

Think of the chains like air hoses on real trains. Then maybe it's more realistic. Thanks for watching!

[@VestedUTuber]

​@@tjbuege Actually, that's a pretty good suggestion. To take it further, steel cable coated in black rubber with a custom made quick-release system instead of loop hooks would definitely look the part as well.

[@solomonsoliman344]

Just don't understand . Are these little trains for fun ?, ,,Or they do actually caryy something on them ? Just not seeing them any useful ?

[@mikeggg5671]

It is a hobby - just like having a model railroad set - only outside, at speed - with wind, and rain, and lights and sound. So we can live our dreams, to be the railroaders we always wanted to bew!

[@VestedUTuber]

The ones you see here are for fun, but equipment of this size could actually be used to haul freight on, say, a hobby farm or orchard, a small commercial craft brewery or even a light-duty craftsman's forge that process their own ore.

[@tjbuege]

As others have replied, it's a fun hobby, pretending to operate like a real railroad. Thanks for watching!

[@blackgarrett4272]

что они курят?

[@tjbuege]

Depends on the locomotive. Some of the "diesel" engines run on regular gasoline, some on propane. Many of the steam locomotives are true operating steam locomotives, running on coal to heat the water in the boiler. Thanks for watching!

Do you live

[@tjbuege]

Hi, I'm not sure if you're asking if I do live streaming, or if I live here? The answer to both is no. This is not my model railroad, but it's one I have visited several times. I won't be doing live streaming since I believe this layout will be shutting down in the next couple years, and I won't be back to visit, unfortunately.
