I'm an EMD guy. I like the North Western because they got so much extended life out of the GP-7s and 9s. Thanks for the sub and watching.

Beautiful! You should be proud of your collection. I had to subscribe!

Outstanding looking grassy area there in the opening shot. It really sells the realism of the scene, as does the elevation profiles of the different tracks. Would you be willing to briefly describe (or point me to the pertinent video of yours) how you did the grassy area? Thanks!

@David-yo5re 2 ай бұрын

It looks like static grass.

@cnwtrain 2 ай бұрын

It is static grass, and of which I am not very good at. There is a lot of tutorials on You Tube for applying that stuff. Much better than me. But thanks for watching.

@@cnwtrain Well I hope when I try my own static grass it looks as good as yours!

@@KandWRailroader I really don't like the look of the grass at the trestle scene. Plan on doing it over.

@@cnwtrain Would you mind sharing what you don't like about it? Is it something that doesn't come across well in video but stands out to you in person? I've never done static grass, but really like the potential I've seen, but obviously have a lot to learn about it..

So nice to see a layout featuring the Cracked & Not Working! I'm a fan. I like the appearance of your system, and especially the prototype movements you do. The careful coupling, the slow acceleration, and in this case, the covered hopper mixed in, in the way. The way you handle the switches, I would guess you are, or were, a railroader. Speaking of the switches, if you have the time to reply to this comment, I would very much like to know the make and model of the switch stands. I'm about ready to rip the Tortices out of my yard. I like the appearance and function of yours. Subscribed. Waiting for more!

I like to try an operate prototypically. The ground throws are made by Caboose Industries. I like using them because it is so simple. No wires no buttons. They never fail.

Me again, Dale. I'm new to your channel and have been catching up on your video list. I saw one that was pretty interesting, Switching Somer, pt 1. Did you ever post the part 2 of that video? I don't seem to see it on the list right now. I'd be curious to watch it as you finish up that job. I am really impressed with your layout, the track plan (or what I see of it anyway), the size of your yard and the operations you run and post in your videos. I have made some trips to the southern regions of the country, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee for the most part, recently, to visit family and tour the south. It would be a real treat to be able to run an op session with you on your layout if that was ever an option you would favor. Just say the word and the next time I get down that way we could make the arrangement. Thanks for listening and keep the cool videos coming.

@cnwtrain 2 ай бұрын

First thanks for watching. I don't think I ever posted part 2 of the Somers video. When they don't get many views on the first one, I don't bother with part 2. I use to hold an op session with some regular guys at least once a month. But one of them passed away and two of the others had knee problems and other health issues. My train room is in an attic space I enclosed and A/Ced. Buty getting up there I still use a fold down ladder which was tough on the older fellows to go up on. I want to resume my op sessions though. I mostly run by myself. The layout is nothing fancy, it is about 17ft by 22 ft. three to four operators is plenty to run it. Stay in touch maybe we can arrange something. Especially for a fellow CNW fan.

I always joke with my steam friends. I tell them if I want to see a train I will watch a diesel. If I want to see steam, I will put on a coffee pot. Of course I'm kidding, thanks for watching.

Nice layout! Just subscribed. I model the Missouri Pacific in the 70s era, (Fort Smith, Arkansas), but still a fan of the C&NW. Does the UP still use the pink lady ballast on the former C&NW lines?

@cnwtrain 2 ай бұрын

I really don't know if they use the ballast. But that stone was prevalent in the area from what I understand. So it is a possibility. Thanks for the sub.
