Realistic Operations on Two huge HO Railroads

In last weeks show I misinformed you that Jim Heppner's railroad was Gary Peterson's railroad. Oops. Let's take a look at both railroads and check them out. On the coldest day of the year too. Both railroads are used for "realistic operation", an interesting system that lets several people work together to run the layout as though it were a real railroad.

[@MsFred58]

Great video,now i am envious!!

[@RalphPCvids]

Nice job filming and profiling the two layouts...and I really liked your explanation of model railroad operations! Your intro and conclusion filmed in your car struck me as a bit odd at first, but I have to admit I found them increasingly entertaining the more I watched! Fun stuff! Beautiful snow covered mountains seen through your car window at the end, by the way! Thanks for the good time!

[@jimkammerer8028]

GREAT VIDEO AWESOME INFORMATION and THOUGHTS on THIS TOPIC just GREAT THANK you AGAIN FOR your VIDEO and your TIME I APPRECIATE it and you HAVE a good day JIM KAMMERER.

[@sabbirhossen328]

i like video.Congatulations Mister !. This is the best 10 minutes model railroad video I've ever seen. Two beautiful layouts with an esplendid and very informative narrative about its operation system. Thanks a lot for sharing this great video and many cheers from Chile (South America). John.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Sabbir Hossen THANKS!! I hope all is well down south. I someday want to visit Chile. (I like mountains)

[@WyanoPenna]

Those Rio Grade Geeps with the big speed lettering are just my favorite! Also, the best looking EMD switchers are the Rio Grande SW1000s

[@ToyManTelevision]

I don’t know much about modern diesels being kind of an old diesel and steam guy but they sure look neat

[@matthewlastrapes8104]

awesome layout love it

[@ToyManTelevision]

BIG operations on the show in 2 weeks!!!

[@danielboone3770]

You might notice the Denver & Rio Grande Western is one of my favorite railroads.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Me too!

[@jarrinwoodruff1863]

Your gonna wanna get more of it. They are ripping it all out now. You will see some really unique power switching as well from 38-2 to GP7s

[@ToyManTelevision]

Whoa! Really?

[@jarrinwoodruff1863]

@@ToyManTelevision wow I didn’t know it commented on this video it was meant for the kennecott one but yes copperton yard is being ripped out and then the smelter side of the plant is staying but there using gp7s, gp9s, and GP38s the high cans are no longer on site anymore Omaha track took them when they left site

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

I can't decide if this is a "hot" video.. or a "cool" video! Utah's ever changing climate! Nice hobby!! Perfect for any time of year! Thanks for posting!

[@ToyManTelevision]

HI Either way it was fun to shoot. At some point, I'm going to build a railroad again. Sad not to have one.

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

Oh! Absolutely!! It really looks like a whole lot of fun! ..And you know... Why not?!! :D

[@noelw71]

Toy Man Television Ya.. you got to get your outdoor R..R. up again. We've had Ho clear R.R.'s clear back to 1950, but now after 10 yr's of so we have add our Garden R,R. Sure is a lot of fun and after it grew a little, I's always a show stopper with Friends and Family..

Congatulations Mister !. This is the best 10 minutes model railroad video I've ever seen. Two beautiful layouts with an esplendid and very informative narrative about its operation system. Thanks a lot for sharing this great video and many cheers from Chile (South America). John.

[@ToyManTelevision]

jhonny1392 thank you!! Ive been off screwing around in Washington DC taking to senators and those who screw around running the US. Back to Utah tomorrow! Should have some fun video from Washington soon!!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Toy Man Television PS I did a sound mix on a good video several years ago about Chile. Students made it. Beautiful place!!

[@jhonny1392]

Toy Man Television Wow !.That would be great !. I´ll be waiting for it. By the way, as you are an american citizen I guess you must know very well at this time who are the guys that really run your country, because all of them has nothing to do with senators or the Congress it self. Many greetings from Chile, John.

[@jhonny1392]

Toy Man Television Oh !. What a surprise !. So, you know something about my country, then. Very well, mister !. And yes, Chile is a beautiful country, specially all the south portion of territory. That is a wonderful place to know for any foreigner. I'm from the middle territory (our country has 4000 kilometers long), near Santiago, its main and biggest city. I live in Viña del Mar (Grapewine of the Sea, in your language). A splendid city by the Pacific Sea and one of the most beautiful too, with a fantastic 22º C almost all the year long. Cheers, John.

[@michaelglass4701]

AWESOME, video.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Love these two...

[@jadenstookey7676]

The great city of salt great way of pronunciation

[@toby9999]

Would be nice to have a basement but they're not common where I live. I doubt there are any in my suburb. House construction is pretty minimalistic here. Everything is a cost cutting measure.

[@RailroadStreet]

Wow that is so cool! What kind of cameras do you use for your videos? Great quality.

[@ToyManTelevision]

+salamander078 I have a little gopro but for most I use a Lumix GH2 with the software hacked by a guy who makes it look better by doing some vodo to the programing. Don't know how it works, but it looks great!

[@abdur.rahman93]

HO or H0 is the most popular scale of model railway in the world. According to the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) standard S-1.2 predominantly used in North America, in HO scale, 3.5 mm (0.1378 in) represents 1 real foot (304.8 mm); this ratio works out to 1:87.0857142, usually rounded to 1:87.1.According to the MOROP standard NEM 010 predominantly used in Europe, the scale is exactly 1:87.[4] In HO, rails are spaced 16.5 mm (0.64961 in) apart which models the standard railroad gauge of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in).

Hey my friend, ... Canada's not so cold. And we get all our cold air from Alaska, USA.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Depends on where in canada!! Love it there though. The way things are going here........

[@bmw325iscoupe]

cherry new star

[@jadenstookey7676]

And I've always wanted to build a railroad called the n.w.p.r.r or the n.w.p northwest Pacific railroad

[@hemipaterson2486]

Excellent narrative lol

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks! And here it is cold again. Gezz, like every 6 months. What's with that?

[@mikehayes8899]

+Toy Man Television I'm building a HO scale railroad at my house which I'm going to call it the Georgia Pacific HO scale railroad!! cool layouts Dale !

[@ToyManTelevision]

Send some photos as you go Dale

[@mikehayes8899]

+Toy Man Television be sure and click on this link Mike Hayes and you will find my videos I will hopefully get some video of the Georgia Pacific railroad and put it on my channel

[@ToyManTelevision]

+mike hayes subed. cool

[@yourreacracker9321]

Nice 2010 mustang

[@ToyManTelevision]

+Master of Random More fun than should be legal. Or... the Utah cops are telling me it's not legal... Cal is OK with it, but not Utah. ?????

[@GLA741]

I'm new to the model railroading, so I have a question, when you buy locomotives and railcars, are they all from the same brand, because they're arent compatible with other railcars and locos of other brands, especially with the coupler?

[@ToyManTelevision]

+Isaiah Vangster As long as they follow NMRA standards they all work together. Some people change things, coupler is often changed to Kadee, not NMRA. BUt Kadee replaces NMRA with ease

[@GLA741]

+Toy Man Television ah ok, thank you!

[@ToyManTelevision]

you are welcome!

[@motorman1989]

In what state is the layout in?

[@ToyManTelevision]

Marcel Bousquet They are in West Valley City, (Salt Lake) Utah

[@brendaneckhart9376]

That car you were driving sounds pretty serious, what was it?

[@ToyManTelevision]

+Brendan Eckhart It one of the 3 mustangs, in this case, BDX9. You can see it and BDX5 (Red) on "Open Track Day". 5 is the fastest. Was driven by Paul Brown in the 08 Time Attack where it came in 2nd for the season. Paul also won the Grand Prix of Long Beach that year in BDX14.

[@brendaneckhart9376]

Toy Man Television Sweet

[@ThePaulv12]

The way you describe, 'city of salt' somehow reminds me of poor Lot's wife ... Don't ask me why as I don't know. I have an overactive imagination (and am quite clearly an underachiever).

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hum... I thing lots wife should have tried the low salt diet.

[@ThePaulv12]

Quite witty that...

[@ohiorailfanproduction5436]

I live in the USA and is not 4th of july

[@ToyManTelevision]

It was the 4th the day I shot that. And HOT!!!!!!!!

[@ohiorailfanproduction5436]

Oh ops

[@BerniesModelRailroad]

Great job filming both railroads and the in depth explanation of what model railroad operations are all about. There are a group of us here in my area which visit each others model railroads and perform model railroad operations. It is a lot of fun and very entertaining to enjoy this hobby with others. I have subbed your channel. Please stop by and check out my channel when you get a chance and sub back if you don't mind. Thanks Bernie

[@ToyManTelevision]

+B Mac Will do!!!!

[@ToyManTelevision]

+B Mac Didnt see this post for a year!! Blocked for some reason. ???

[@ibradford7516]

At 7:50 was the most beautiful scene I want to see that in real life

[@ToyManTelevision]

LOVE Spanglers painted backdrop!

[@riogrande5761]

I'd really like to see video's of these layouts without the talking heads.

[@jonnybeck6723]

Ah yes... the Union Pacific nature of life (-sigh-)

[@johnvcramer5517]

All it takes is money.?????

[@ToyManTelevision]

Well a bit more than money. But money don’t suck.
