Like a dog in a park, I dropped you a steaming pile of a comment :) You do have some great videos and not to sound like Matthew Lund. A quick layout walk around would be cool

Additional sources for reference photos mostly for historic buildings and rolling stock include the Library of Congress American Memory Project photo archives. State libraries and library associations also maintain digital photo archives.

Music sounds a lot like Charlie Brown soundtrack material… Vince Guaraldi Trio…am I close?

Not sure, I believe it came from the KZbin music library.

Well, I couldn't put those website links in cards--KZbin wouldn't recognize them. They are in the description, however. Sorry about the confusion.

Has anybody mentioned Pinterest. They have wonderful arrays of all kinds of things related to railroads - both prototype and model.

It was not until after this video had posted that I became aware of Jim Ross' (Jim from Michigan) passing. I came to KZbin late enough that I only "met" Jim after he learned that he had cancer, but he was a part of the KZbin model railroad community, and this is a great community. Prayers for his family. I know he will be greatly missed.

Hi Ron A good and interesting video. I myself also use these internet resources to get my information. Otherwise, it would be a little expensive to travel from the Netherlands to USA to get information. Thanks for sharing. Ronald.

The BNSF locomotive 803 in the current livery is, as I'm sure you know, the same locomotive as the locomotive in the ATSF warbonnet scheme. When the locomotive was rebuilt, it was run through the paint shop.

Ron, besides being an N Scale Model Railroader I am also a Train Simulator enthusiast, and Train Simulator by Dovetail Games also includes the tools to build your own routes. Google Earth is also a great tool for building a real world route in Train Simulator. Within the Train Simulator there is a great deal of information on how to quickly turn Google Earth pictures into 3 dimensional drawings that can be converted to the proper type of file and placed into directly into a route where it belongs
@LTBROYT6A6 жыл бұрын
on the route. As Model Railroaders we can take these same 3D drawings and scale them to whatever scale we are modeling and print them out on card stock and place them on our layouts. These buildings can be printed out as is and assembled as placeholders or made with built up layers as permeant structures
