HO Scale: UPSF Joint Line Trains In Action

Last week, I recorded a few minutes of trains operating on the privately owned UPSF Joint Line model layout. Enjoy!

I really like that big grain elevator. Ive always been fascinated by them. When i was driving semi truck, I'd fixate my vision on them, sometimes for miles and miles, many are small, but some are huge. Often there is always an active switcher or train. I used to go to those places. I loved looking at the older covered hopper build dates, and ghost lettering.

Only one citation in an otherwise superb looking and functioning MRR !! It's only about ( and maybe it's still being worked on, anyway ) the painted mountains' heavy brown color. I think a better effect would be a change them to light hazy purple, and closer ones darker purple/brown, with perhaps a bit of dark and light green hither and dither for them as this is how distant ones tend to look in real. I realize this is my idea and is not thus carved in [hee hee] stone.. Again, zero put down as ALL the rest is truly A1.. P.S. Love bay window cabooses, your diamond scene, and especially scene 6:53-7:14...All trackage (rails/ties/ballast/shrubs) are done to perfection....

real nice in HO, I have N scale layout 10x 10x 10

[@anb7408]

Never fails. A nicely done layout, and yet everyone is too lazy to paint all of the annoying shiny wheels on the cars/locomotives. Good grief. I actually stop watching the video and close it out when I see that.

[@vigo894]

Are you losing it? So far, you are the only one complaining.

[@jimdimwitty8740]

Lighten up, Francis! 🙄 Great layout and maybe they haven't gotten to weathering the wheels yet. Sheesh.

[@MarkInLA]

OH !! Boo Hoo !! Can I send you a teething ring and some apple juice ??
