HO Scale Yard Move with Coal

[manchesterjim295]

I love the idea of pulling a camera like that!  Excellent video...congrats!

[Sinistar24]

If you dont have the real estate anymore, you could always sell them to help finance a smaller N scale layout. I know it may be hard to do after being used to HO scale and the space, just a thought.

[lookwhatidid1]

how many engines do you have

[rdw283]

@lookwhatidid1 72 engines total and over 800 cars. This layout is in my basement.

[Mainland444]

great video and awesome train your running. camera movement was amazing, one of the best model RR videos I have seen anywhere. 5 stars

[CPWindsorsub]

how many loco's do you have?!

[rdw283]

@CPWindsorsub I have loco's 72, mostly all 6 axle units, I think 8 are 4 axle. I have over 800 cars but I am thinking of selling them cause I don't have the time for the hobby anymore. I use to own my own business and that is when I had both time and money. I am starting another business and I need the space they are in so I am selling or storing them, haven't decided yet.

[CPWindsorsub]

@rdw283 wow, thats amazing, i hope your new business works out and that you can find some space again in the future for another layout

[jettrainfan]

Great collection of power you have!

[rdw283]

[rdw283]

@monsterjamkid Thanks, I had two Proto's pulling the HD cam down the tracks while taking this.

[fordlukebo]

[rdw283]

@fordlukebo They are Coal loads from Walthers.

[1starwarsman]

[rdw283]

@1starwarsman I am thinking of selling my collection, I am still in the air about it but its looking closer to me selling then keeping.

[1starwarsman]

dude what are the name of those engines like bnsf

[rdw283]

@1starwarsman The lead units on that coal train are BNSF SD70MAC's, they are also painted int eh heritage cream scheme that BN did some time ago.

[rdw283]

@1starwarsman Mostly BNSF, I have a few CSX (2), UP (6), CP Rail (7), NS (1) and the rest are BNSF (56)

[XBOXORANGEJUICE]

[andersonjjj333]

very realistic nice use of the camera

[rdw283]

Thanks, it took two flat cars to pull this so it wouldn't fall over.

[rdw283]

@andersonjjj333

I need scenery! Thank for the kind words!

[Sabrestrainsfan]

thats an awesome yard!

[rdw283]

Thanks

[rdw283]

@Sabrestrainsfan

It is one of 3 yards on my layout. I am planning for two more yards as well. I need more room, people complain about how I have too many cars when they come to run.

[morfeusz120]

wooow 124 coal cars

[rdw283]

Sorry I removed your other post. i do that on accident when I am on my MacBook.

Yes I have quite a few cars ( over 750 )

Sorry about the deletion

[morfeusz120]

Super! Great video!

[rdw283]

Thanks

[tpvalley]

That will take a long time to ballast!

I guess u use dcc?

I just ordered a proto2000 h10-44, I read they use same drive train as atlas models, I have an atlass rs1, that runs very smoothly, do the proto models run well, whats ur most recomended american outline manufacturer?

[rdw283]

Proto first then Athearn Gen series second. I used to like Kato but I think their product line has taken a nose dive. Their older products are fine otherwise.

I use Digitrax system

[MasCoRailbuff]

nice, smooth camera dolly!

[bnsfrailnut]

looks great

[jorgeniscool]

how did you get that shot?

[rdw283]

Trick of the camera. I take it you liked it :-)

[helloween1987]

[Guilford88panam]

[jwerren78]

[jwerren78]

Looks awesome. I really like the maaive engine consist behind the coal train.

[Stephenson18]

Very nice! you should do a video of a ''roster shot!
