Trains Across America Part 29

[BNSFandSP]

What good is telling us about cars we won't even see be delivered?

[Grumpy7783]

@BNSFandSP Well seeing as you dont know but during the time this video was made the main member of TAA suddenly passed away. So alot of stuff changed.

[hi6509]

I've watched just about everyone pf these, and they're truly amazing, you wouldn't believe the amount of times I've wondered if they're actually real trains....Many thanks from Australia

[agentM1991]

Why does some of the coil steel cars and gondola cars have only 2 coiled steel loads when they have room for more?

[nkproad777]

Guess this is the end of the series.

[cn78356]

were is episode 30 of trains across america

[csx42eddie]

Thanks for all the videos. I got burned out on my layout last year and I noticed your Video's on here a couple of nights ago and got drawn into them for two nights. Looking forward to number 30 and will be back working on my own 9 x18 double decker layout soon. nothing like some inspiration to get the juices flowing :)

[nsdemon]

[cn78356]

yeah i don't see part 30

[Grumpy7783]

@cn78356 Part 30 will be up this weekend just be patient. hell yall are lucky mtrails is even making a part 30 mine was going to be the last one.

[luvtrns4evr]

like the SP units weathered in their typical grimy as always look. Series is as usual very good. Please keep them coming.

[Grumpy7783]

@arkie74 It was Mark's idea. we talked about it before he passed away and talked about TAA going modern and he and I talked about a new series called TOTES. But since his passing back in April i don't know for sure now if we will do it. Still have to talk to other people if they're interested in doing so.

[geomodelrailroader]

when is part 30 going to be up Grumpy

[Grumpy7783]

@geomodelrailroader Part 30 will be the final video of the Series. After this TAA will no longer be up and running. It should be up soon though.

[geomodelrailroader]

@Grumpy7783 good I can't wait

[WorldOfNothin]

really sad to here there is only one more part left!!! I was really enjoying this

[geomodelrailroader]

sad to hear that Grumpy we will miss TAA well I seen a lot of action

[cn78356]

i know i am sorry he passed away

[cn78356]

what happened to part 30

[Grumpy7783]

@cn78356 Part 30 will be up shortly but it'll be the series finale since the founding member of TAA passed away in April.

[georgiacentralfan]

@Grumpy7783 Don't let episode 30 be the finale because chessie4155 died he would want ya'll to keep up the hard and it has really inspired me what he and all of you have done

Thank You

[the1Thomasfan]

@Grumpy7783 is it the series finale or the season finale. Please don't end it. Mark would want TAA to live on long after him.

[Grumpy7783]

@the1Thomasfan We already had a discussion about ending TAA this year before Mark's passing. It was his idea he wanted TAA to go modern and us guys that do the 70s and 80s to start a different series. But that's up in the air man.

[m301]

I love the you all have been doing with this. I'm very sorry to hear about Mark's passing. I was wondering if you ever created a web site for TAA yet? It would be a nice idea to sell t shirts with the TAA emblem on it.

 I can't wait for the next epsidoe. Keep up the good work!!

[Grumpy7783]

@m301 if you're on Facebook there is a TAA page.

[agentM1991]

When will part 30 come out?

[Grumpy7783]

@agentM1991 It should be coming soon but with everything that happened with Mark's passing it kinda changed the schedule.

[agentM1991]

@agentM1991 Oh ok. Sorry to hear that.

[rnixco]

Great work, you were sandbagging me when you said this first one might not be up to TAA standard. Thank you for contributing this to Mark, even after he left earth to run trains with the lord, he got me to get an account & start putting my two cents in to series.

Okay "wearin" got it, The voice of TAA, Richard

[Grumpy7783]

@rnixco Once i got your voice files and stuff it went smooth from there.

[wesolint]

Nice work! You've done a great job of keeping up the TAA tradition.

[Grumpy7783]

@wesolint Thanks Steve

[Trackagerights]

Gotta ask. is "Hood damaged" a funny way of saying "I didn't wrap the cars well enough in their packages to be shipped?

[Grumpy7783]

@Trackagerights Yes. HAHAHA!!! actually the post office i think was a little rough with it

[rockguitarist946]

great video, it's almost as if i'm watching the old SP! since i'm modeling the SPSF, and you model the SP(or at least your club does, or whoever's layout this is), do you have any operation tips that would make my layout like the real SP operation wise? also, do you know of any books that would help?

thanks, Louis

[Grumpy7783]

@rockguitarist946 you know how SP/SSW was with there power man they had the most random lashups and dirtiest locos in my opinion. This is a club layout, i'm part of the Golden Isles Model railroad club in Brunswick, Georgia and i'm the only one that runs a western road and the only reason i run a western road is that i was born and raised in Texas and i'm currently stationed here in Georgia due to being enlisted in the Navy and have been now for 9yrs.

[Grumpy7783]

@rockguitarist946 all i can say man is do some research depending on where you plan on modeling on which SP route. A friend of mine models the Cascade route of Oregon

[rockguitarist946]

@Grumpy7783 know any books that would focus on the Southern California/New Mexico area?

[Grumpy7783]

@rockguitarist946 Not to my knowledge all i can say is look online.

[bravosixxx]

Excellent video to honor a friend. I am sure Mark is smiling.

[bechho]

great video. i really like the way your layout looks.

[mtrails]

Great episode!

[jwerren78]

Awesom video James. Excellent work...Hopefully I will do as well with mine!

[Grumpy7783]

@jwerren78 Thank you Jason, yours will be great man.

[Grumpy7783]

@jwerren78 how did you like your curve?

[jwerren78]

Very cool but unfortunately my last name is not correct. Thats what happens when you have a non-traditional last name. It is pronounced wearin. Like you are wearin clothes but I really like the shout out anyway.

[Grumpy7783]

@jwerren78 I'll let Richard no next time.

[clm64]

Nice work on the vid nice work grate vid

[bandit426]

Great Job!! Mark would be proud!!

[yurysausage]

perfect !

[Derailedtrain666]

You did well for a GreenHorn! Haha Great work.

[Grumpy7783]

@Derailedtrain666 Well since i'm in the Navy you could've said Bootcamp but i guess this is the TAA version of calling someone a newbie. Thanks Adam.
