Mountain Railroading in HO Scale

[wesolint]

Great action shots of a running railroad!

[brother1997]

one question,do u know any ocean (or any water-side) models in HO scale?

[jbrailphotography]

thanks for the help because we are currently building our layout 

[jbrailphotography]

how did you do the slanted curves



[ConrailForever]

To create super-elevation, we laid a thin wire underneath the outside rail.

[MichaelPenn66109]

Wonderful layout - great work...

[ConrailForever]

Thanks!

[stationmaster12]

I love your layout! I wish I could get mine to look like yours! Great work!!!!!

[bn513]

this is awesome cody!! :)

[Keith120286]

You should run them slower to create the illusion of bigger layout. I'd also try to eliminate those tight turn radius' in the future if possible. Otherwise, nice layout and I love the Union Pacific locomotives.

[teddyv1]

Are all your units Athearn? Certainly sounds like an Athearn growl. :)

[ConrailForever]

Yes, all of the units in the video are Athearn, my favorite maker.

[TWRH101]

i have noticed that you don't have any boom gates or flashing units at your railway crossings. Are you doing to put them in?

[ConrailForever]

I would like to, but it's not the highest priority right now.

[MartinJahner]

Nice video, and excellent modeling!

[ConrailForever]

Why thank you!

[JakBal3112]

[Railfan108]

cool, well ahppy railfanning, and ocne again, outstanding layout

[2Bmonster]

FUCKING A!!! Beastly layout man a true inspiration.

[ConrailForever]

Thanks!

[guitar446]

great vid cody what is the max grade of the whole layout and 1 little ? is a 3% grade to hard 4 what i doing on my layout 10*

[ConrailForever]

Thanks, Chris! The steepest grade is about 1.5 percent I believe. Most gradients on American and Canadian railroads remain at or under 2 percent, although there are some instances where gradients reach almost up to 2.5 percent, but never for very long stretches. 3 percent probably isn't the most practical, but you can make it work with short trains and enough power.

[guitar446]

thank you cody

[Railfan108]

wow, i liek tghe truns, how the trains actually tilt, thats engineering, liek the last scene, awesome video, and do you ever make a short movei????like under 5 minues, lol, they are alwasy 10 and more, but i always love to sit and watch the whole thing, keep it up man, great videos

[ConrailForever]

Thanks, Thomas! Most of my videos hit the ten minute mark or close to it, mainly because I like to fit the most action into my videos as possible.

[49MCURLL49]

got to love the old Athearn Can-Motor at 0:36

[ConrailForever]

Yeah, they add and interesting touch.

[iusetano]

Thanks, Erik!

[Espee9180]

Nice video and layout. What are the dimensions?

[ConrailForever]

Thanks! 12x24 I believe.

[Espee9180]

Nice! Wish I had that much space for a layout.

[Weiberts]

Nice! I will be getting a Lionel UP Desert Victory SD40-2 soon! It's a Christmas gift.

[ConrailForever]

Thanks! That'll be an interesting unit for you're collection, I'm sure.

[LenaVideos]

Love the layout.

[ConrailForever]

Thanks, Geoff!

[coryrusch]

Your layout is amazing Cody! Is it western or eastern themed or both?

[ConrailForever]

Thanks, Cory! The scenery is more eastern based, but to me it doesn't really matter.

[GregInCalifornia]

Awesome layout & video!

[ConrailForever]

Thanks, Greg!

[ohiosouthern]

Another Great HO Scale Video From Cody, Nice job, Got alot of cool angles, It looks like the layout is really big, and is ver smooth running, 5 stars

[ConrailForever]

Thanks, Kodi! The layout is very smooth running indeed, and once our new power booster is installed, I'll have enough power on each train to ensure even smoother sailing over the grades.
