[@ritmodelrailroadclub]

Glad you had a good time at our show again! So cool being able to see the tear down of the RMRC layout! Can't wait to see you next year on December 13-14!!! Nice sweater too

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@ritmodelrailroadclub I always enjoy the RIT show. I love Christmas time and it’s nice having Christmas songs in the background. I already have next year’s show written down on my new calendar! I’ll have to see what Sweater Amtrak offers next year!

Awesome footage, that AF looking HO track is pretty odd. Very interesting!

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@ericcoffedgp40 Thank you. I’ve been looking for the AF HO track, but I’m pretty sure it’s tubular rail, but maybe I’m wrong. Odd there were no curve pieces in the box.

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

As I watched the video I thought "Geez what a job to set this all up and tear it down." Then your bonus footage 👍

[@MyLifesTracks]

It’s a ton of work packing up a layout or packing all the stuff vendors have to offer. The weather was pretty bad too by the time the show ended. That didn’t make packing up vehicles very pleasant.

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

@@MyLifesTracks plus the long drive home when you're sick... STILL WORTH IT💥💫

[@kylestevens6925]

Great video and awesome looking show. Honestly never saw track like that before outside of O or Standard gauge. Thanks for sharing!

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@kylestevens6925 It’s a big space so it helps keep the crowd spread out. I can’t find HO track like this on line anywhere.

[@TheyCallHimDietSeth]

Man, that's such a killer show! I wish I could've made it this year... but I got sick 24 hours ahead of you so was down for the count already. lol. Thanks so much for sharing! I laughed, I cried, and some of the N scale stuff that you panned by wanted to become part of my collection!

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@TheyCallHimDietSeth Maybe next year you can go? It’s only up the road from you really!😁

It looks like a good show! - Jenny

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@StormySkyRailProductions It’s the last big show before Christmas so I always enjoy it.

[@trainencounters586]

Wanted to be there as a vendor but too much going on here at home. Thanks for your coverage. Really missed being there. Thanks for breezing by the N scale. If you had taken the time to show it, I might really have been depressed. 😊 There is something about this show that makes it special. I love how they play Christmas music. Always nice layouts there too. The students do a good job putting it on and I like to visit their on campus layout following the show. Hope to be there next year. Your coverage is greatly appreciated!!

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@trainencounters586 Thank you! I love the Christmas music they play. Hopefully I’ll see you there next year.

Nicks honor train featured R&S 106. I was almost killed in a derailment in the 106 back in 2004. We hit ice on a crossing, and it picked up the locomotive and we rolled over on our right side. I ended up with seven herniated discs, and needed surgery to repair two of them in my neck.

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@Nearly-famous-painter1960 Wow, that is scary! Sounds so painful. Are you doing ok now?

[@Nearly-famous-painter1960]

@ Thanks! I’m doing ok with the meds I get from the VA. I was very lucky. The floor panel over the battery box in the locomotive came loose and fell like a guillotine between the engineer and me. It nicked my forehead, so I had to get stitches there too. It was a long night!

[@readingthebible5413]

Awwwww, I missed this?! Fuuuuuuuuuu

In 2025 it’s 12/13 & 12/14!

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@raysrails2164 Yes. That’s a show I always try to get to.

As far as American Flyer HO track if you run across the thinner gray roadbed with brown ties and brass rail that dates from late fifties early 60s.

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@danielbackley9301 Thank you. I always like finding out when the old stuff was produced.

[@carlito9368]

Hey I live close to Rochester NY and I was there at a train event at a college I can't remember the name but I got myself a PAR C-liner brand and I have got 3 trains from that brand and it's a NYC

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@carlito9368 Very nice! So much Train stuff going on in the Rochester area!

THE TUBE HO TRACK WAS IN THE EARLY 50S FOR HO FLYER THE PLASTIC BAKELIGHT TRACK WAS IN 1939 THROUH THE 40S FOR HO SETS THAT WERE AC HO POWERD .

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@jeffsikes5312 The track I got is solid rail with joiners. It seems to have same 4 metal ties like the tubular HO AF track. Do you know if American Flyer made tubular and sold rail versions?

[@jeffsikes5312]

@@MyLifesTracks YES IT ITS HO FLYER TRACK IT CAME IN 1950S HO SETS WITH ENGINE 155 AND A HUDSON 5318 AND METAL CARS THE OTHER AMERICAN FLYER TRACK WITH ROAD BED IS 1939.

[@lawrencegolba2244]

Was that an R&S #104?

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@lawrencegolba2244 Are you referring to the locomotive at 3:52? That is number 106.
