Wyoming Division MRR Update and Tour Section 3 of 3

[@tridentmusic5570]

I've Enjoyed all three ! Thank you. Across the pond.

[@tigerphid9677]

Those silver trucks on the UP locomotives were awesome...

[@charlesbolduc2796]

All three parts video were great I loved all the beautiful work y'all done on it I hope you y'all keep up the good work and keep the videos coming and the history of that area

[@MissKarenB]

What a great series. Look forward to updates, when the scenery is completed.

[@elijahglasser1421]

Very incredible and wonderful trains 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

[@chugwaterjack4458]

The eye level shots are really great, and kudos for the train lengths!

[@TrainDetailsbyGuss]

Great layout, thanks for showing it off. ..

[@robertbooth6144]

Thank you great video I see it under construction that's cool to. I love the older locos thanks again.

[@elijahglasser1421]

Very great trains

[@lachlanscott3933]

Wow, fantastic 3 part series, I hope one day I get to see in real life, thank you

[@bobcampisi1362]

I have visited this area of Wyoming/Utah many times and am currently working om my second Evanston Division layout, in a much smaller area, but great to see somebody else likes to model this area as much as I do. Great Work.

[@NicksCollectableCreations]

I really enjoyed the narration to this layout in operation.

[@fredtedstedman]

Just wonderful , thanks for sharing ! Wales UK . Land of narrow gauge .

[@danielboone3770]

More UP action here! Thank you for bringing this on.

[@cprtrain]

Outstanding video of an outstanding model railroad. Can't wait to see more.

[@JohnHibbard0808]

Awesome series and extremely well narrated of an amazing layout!

[@jwrailve3615]

I just appreciate when people run trains the way they should in operations. I got extremely discouraged the two clubs I’ve went to they just rush ops sessions, one train lined right behind another and another all just trying to get the session done as quickly as possible just ruined it for me. What’s the point of building realism to rush because some enjoyed running fast through scenery. The yard crew I was on the same way just literally slinging cars and quickly backing over magnets to uncouple it just was a let down. So seeing a layout run trains realistic and at Proto speeds especially I really appreciate

[@ATSFSuperChief]

Excellent model Union Pacific layout, enjoyed all three episodes and hope your renewed operating sessions go very well. While I am trying to build a Raton Pass layout in my basement.

[@ehcatsfaneric2211]

Simply in awe

[@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530]

Great layout and great driving. Very beautiful video.👍👍👍

[@chugwaterjack4458]

Notice how the tender for the turbine magically appears at 10:30. All three series of the turbines were tremendous locomotives for their day, and I am glad to see them on this layout. I grew up in Cheyenne four blocks north of the yards, and fondly remember hearing the small steam switcher's wheel slips at night as they would be switching cars about. Also, you could set your watch by the StreamLiners as they passed.

[@easternsprails]

Yep, ground crews are very sneaky when they need a fuel tender on a train. Good catch though. I didn't think to many viewers would notice.

[@patricefauvette1651]

Really very beautiful! Can’t wait for the decoration to be finished so that this network throws a lot !!! "Comment made in France".

[@vernonsaayman9741]

Incredible!where have you been! Ive never seen this in any magazine!

[@trainknut]

I know it's highly highly condensed, but I feel like I just watched a documentary about the entire UP Wyoming division. I can't wait to see the what Wasatch grade will look like with scenery like Sherman Hill, some of my favorite scenes are on that stretch, particularly Echo Canyon.

[@theknickerbocker5808]

Hopefully the world gets back to normal and Veryl has one of his weekend long op sessions. Can't wait

[@louisrossettini5282]

I really like this series. The trains were run at what looks like prototypical speeds. The engines were changed where appropriate. I can't wait to see a fully detailed layout.

[@canyonpast]

Truly Cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@Perfusionist01]

Fantastic work of art! That is one well done layout. Only one quibble: the caboose fleet needs major work! Sorry, but I'm a UP caboose fancier.

[@allenscottmontgomery3929]

Then I could use your help! You can tell my strengths when it comes to the fleet. I have no idea how to weather the passenger cars, too afraid to touch the steam engines, and haven't got to the cabeese yet. I know there are some serious flaws in there. At least I don't have any ATSF cabs on the layout. I know that much:)

[@beeble2003]

@@allenscottmontgomery3929 "[I'm] too afraid to touch the steam engines" Challenger at 3:15 looks nicely weathered to me, though I'm no kind of expert on steam.

[@allenscottmontgomery3929]

@@beeble2003 I believe that was factory weathered. I know I didn't touch it:)

[@ictrains9731]

Green River is a great place to watch the action in the yard. I use stop by and climb the overhead walk bridge that spans the whole yard.

[@medwaymodelrailway7129]

Great video l enjoyed it hope there more

[@markakin3742]

looks like a terrific layout

[@Jeff-fx1zy]

But it was fun to see.

[@UPturbinefan]

Looking forward to when the Arizona Division NMRA summer op weekend comes back. Always enjoy it.

[@danielboone3770]

I love the turbine powered freight as well here.

[@Jeff-fx1zy]

Therein, was the problem with the Turbines. During the "Horsepower race" that 6,000 hp. was great, but they burned justvas much fuel, sittin on that turntable as the did out on the mainline. Everybody was looking for a better answer, and the turbines fell short. Just like the Diesel Hydraulics.

[@Greatdome99]

Alas, during hostling operation (e.g, turning the loco), the turbine would not be running, the traction motors powered by the small 'donkey' 250hp Cummins diesel engine located inside the unit. You wouldn't hear turbine sound until it was ready to pull a train. And UP's SD7s were set up to run long hood first, not as shown.

[@KG-xt4oq]

Well holy hell! They need to take away these guy's model train license and throw 'em in jail for their travesties!!!

[@beeble2003]

I didn't realise the "veranda" turbines were only 4500hp. In modern terms, that's a bit less than a pair of GP39s; more contemporaneously, it's a bit less than a pair of SD24s (introduced only four years after the verandas).

[@Jeff-fx1zy]

I thought those turbines had those one note blaaaat horns the the F-units, and Milw's Little Joes had.

[@davidcurtis5398]

Why is the turban running without a fuel tender??? I've never seen this...Ok fine, at the 12:22 time line they show it with the fuel tender. Finally...

[@easternsprails]

The turbine could run short distances using the fuel tank under the frame.

[@CobraChamp]

Nice layout, but that turntable could sure use some adjusting….

[@michaelmace9257]

What did they do when the coal got wet during heavy rain? Did it still burn properly in the locomotive?

[@kcsthebetterway]

Did I see spline roadbed construction and by chance what was used for the splines??

[@allenscottmontgomery3929]

The spline was strips of Poplar from a shutter shop that rented from V. Basically, we got bundles of the stuff for free.

[@rexcadral3468]

Really cool, but if I had that turbine locomotive it would definitely have its sound card yanked out! Man, what a noise!

[@tiger_h1]

Im a up sp and cp fan and i love the layout wered you get the turbine though i cant get it on amazon

[@michaelplumb298]

Does this turbine get a fuel tender?

[@beeble2003]

Yes -- it magically appears when it starts hauling the train. Obviously, they forgot it but decided not to go back and re-film the light engine movements.

[@derekalexander4030]

Did I miss it? I watched all three videos and didn’t see the star of the layout, Cheyenne yard and the roundhouse and turntable. Do you have any footage from there?

[@Jeff-fx1zy]

Oh,,,those manifests were so much more interesting, than these boring stak trains, unit trains, and the occasional manifest wirh cars of two, maybe three roads, TBOX,FBOX, and all these ---x,s i dont even what the hell they are.

[@steveendres9484]

Is that HO or N gauge???

[@easternsprails]

HO scale.

[@gillescote8664]

Nice layout but too many curves the rest I love

[@vernonsaayman9741]

Even aspen altamont!

[@Jeff-fx1zy]

Even Electrification wouldnt work, outside the n.e.corridor where you could run a train every 5 min. That couldnt work out west. Too expensive. The Milwaukee Road helped to prove that.

[@davidcarrington9259]

I love hearing the turbines, it is too bad they went away so soon

[@beeble2003]

They were designed to use a specific fuel that was cheap because the oil industry at the time basically viewed it as a waste product. Once they figured out how to economically convert that oil into more generally useful products, the cheap fuel supply went away and the huge fuel consumption of the turbines killed them. And they weren't even all that powerful -- the "veranda" unit you see here (4500hp) was considerably less powerful than the pair of GP40-2s (6000hp total) that you might see on a local, today (8 axles, similar total weight, so comparable traction). For a historically fairer comparison, the EMD SD24 was introduced only four years after the verandas, and a pair of those gave you about the same power (4800hp). And, by the time the SD24s were coming into service, gas turbines were generally being operated in multiple with standard diesels anyway, so they'd already lost the advantage of being just one locomotive at the front of the train. (They mostly couldn't run two turbines together, as the rear one would tend to flame out in tunnels.)
