Running Trains and Billboard Cars on my 50 Year old Atlas 4x8 HO Scale Layout! (September 2023)

[@robertdaigle7021]

Nice…where most of us started…a 4 x 8 and atlas track…and dc…😎

[@Quince828]

Billboard reefers make the train so interesting. I collect as many as I can. It’s a shame that they were discontinued in real life.

[@OnkelPHMagee]

I recognize and love the intro. music.

[@tracynation2820]

After seeing that majorly tarnished brass track , I'm tempted to search for one of my many spare MDC/Roundhouse Box cabs w/ track cleaning equipment and ship it to ya to take care of that funky rail crud,lol.

[@VintageRoadRail]

Lol, it's definitely a need of a good old-fashioned cleaning. I usually keep the track pretty clean and the locomotives run really well. Trouble is recently I've been so busy with work and traveling I've not had time to do so.

[@Northcoastrails]

Nice billboard rolling stock 😊

[@nscalefun]

AWESOME!!!!!

[@4everdc302]

Got ya on the busy part. Attacked my GScale this weekend. hadn't run it most of the summer,& couldn't see the track for grass/weeds. Some of those billboard cars are not seen much anymore 👍😊

[@VintageRoadRail]

Been very busy since changing jobs. When I retire I would love to use G scale for some garden railroading.

One of the guys I follow on TikTok is a member there. He was there with a few of the TikTok train nerds

[@joezuccardo3245]

You need to put plexiglass around the edges of the layout a few inches above the edge to prevent derailed trains from going to the floor, I use brass track too, just keep it clean

[@VintageRoadRail]

One of these days I want to do that. This weekend I will probably be spending some time cleaning track.

[@jimorlando5700]

Are you on DC or DCC in this video?

[@VintageRoadRail]

DC. I like having the option to do DC or DCC but for the most part I just run DC stuff on this layout.

[@Rebecca_The_Dragon]

Who makes that little red engine shed?

[@VintageRoadRail]

If you're talking about the little red one on the corner I'm not 100% sure but I think it's lifelike.

[@VintageRoadRail]

You're talking about the big one by the turntable I don't have any clue. I bought this sleigh out and it came with it. Lol

[@elleryparsons2433]

What I Would Like to See Is All 3 Of the Layouts Running At Once wanna see the Trackplan.

[@VintageRoadRail]

Im not sure I follow on running all 3 layouts. Want to see the track plan for the old Atlas layout?

[@elleryparsons2433]

Can I see you guys Run All 3 Layouts and See the Trackplan as Well.

[@The_old_grey_wolf]

Yeah I was just getting ready to say the same thing. Would like to see the track plan I really like it and think it would work great for n scale. A link to an overhead picture a hand drawing anything would work. Lol really appreciate the videos. I haven't been into train stuff since I was in my twenties. I'm in my '50s now and want to get back into it.

[@elleryparsons2433]

I Hear Ya.I am Shooting For a Feb Train show. Won’t Be able To Go To the Oct Show.when we Go To the Feb Show Oh Yes I Will Be Getting a Combo of My Choice and So My Wife Will Too.

[@VintageRoadRail]

[@geraldbolig3349]

[@VintageRoadRail]
