What up with the roofwalk at 1:36? I thought this was supposed to be a modern layout. Roofwalks have been banned from interchange by the FRA since the 60's. Other than that, a splendid video.
Oh Ok, didn't know. I have a lot of boxcars with roofwalks that i never use because I model BNSF in 1996. What I do to sneek a couple in is use BNSF predicessors such as GN, BN, ATSF, CB&Q, and use them for local industry or MOW trains. Because they are on BNSF tracks, they have never been interchanged, so therefore they can be used. In your case if the boxcar would have been say a conrail boxcar with a roofwalk, it would be acceptable because it would not be interchanged.
I love your concept for ur layout, before i decided to do NEC inner city, I was gonna model East Tennessee with a rail line I called CAW Central Appalachia and Western, but my yearning to do inner city was too great. GREAT VID! Ten thumbs up!!
Hey I've seen a lot of your benchwork, and I don't think it would be too hard for you to finish your layout. It would look really good. Nice vid! 5/5* & Fav.
I sure do! Ime shipping your engine out tomorrow by the way. I had to replace the ditchlight so thats why it took an extra day. The 2 bucls in there is the 2 left over from shipping.
Yo dawg your layout looks like shit! It is so wack! Please do all of us a favor and DO NOT make any more videos of that mess!! That is what I would have said if I was a HATER so since I am NOT a hater I have to tell you that you layout is HOT!! Very nice run. Not too many model railroaders model modern day Norfolk Southern so yours is a breath of fresh air when it comes to layouts. I would have definitely modeled Norfolk Southern if I didnt choose UP. I love watching the real NS engines!
I saw someone on the web that was talking about doing the old Southern Railway Sluda Grade I was thinking good luck. Have a track that starts on the floor and end up in the roof. LOL
nice video!, how did you wire your layout?

Removing the roofwalk and leaving the gusset plates would also work. I've done that.
