BN Doublestack

[skateallday005]

very nice, what is the layout size?

[dadikkedude]

sweet

[BNSF700]

WOW great video!! Love the sound effects!! Nice tigerstripe and Oakway is cool too! 20 out of10 you rock!!

[DepletedU]

Simply... gorgeous! Do you weather locos and rolling stock?

[wesolint]

Thanks, I don't really do too much weathering yet. Mostly wheels and trucks although I have done some heavier stuff on a few cars.

[michaelmohrmann]

Can you tell me where you got the talking defect detector? I'd really like to have one of those for my N scale model railroad project. Thank you in advance.

[wesolint]

It's just a recording I got off of the internet.

[sittinsidewayzz]

That was very interesting, like the way your trees and shrubs look and the tunnels, ect.!!!!!!!!

[jorgeniscool]

you should get some more contaners

[jorgeniscool]

one of the best videos on youtube. AWESOME. NICE locomotives and stack trains

[wesolint]

Thanks!

[ciscornBIG]

Your videos delight my two year old :) Thanks for posting!

[wesolint]

You're welcome.

[cprail34]

wow must be a HUGE club....what sound did you use? and i know a wasolowski to. thanks for rating my vid:)

[chessie1976]

Awesome Video!

[wesolint]

Thanks, this was my very first YouTube video.

[TheNewDorkTimes]

where'd you get those double stack cars and containers?

[wesolint]

I get most of my stuff at swap meets and at the hobby store.

[helivestubes]

Beautiful set up and filming! I run a paper modelsing group at yahoo. Called Paper_Models. The link is on my channel.

This isnt an ad but an invitation to the group. We have all scale train models FREE. If you dont want to build it in paper you could always use them as a pattern for building in wood etc.

Let your club know! All are welcome!

Helives!

[wranglerhuck]

Great video!!! Can you tell me more about the defect detector? Where can I find one at? will it actually count the axles on the train and sense things wrong?

[wesolint]

It's a sound bite I found on the internet.

[BNSF2829]

I love your video!!! Where did you get the BN tiger strip engine??? I have a BNSF Geep which is really nothing to your engines though. Also how did you get all the sound effects?? that makes your video so like a real train. 100 out of 10 you rock.

[wesolint]

Thanks for making me smile. The "tiger stripe" is from Proto 2000 before they were owned by Walthers. I have spent hours searching the internet for real train sounds and I just add them in when putting my movies together. :))

[pacbelt]

Excellent synching of the real sounds with the model action.

[wesolint]

Thanks. This was my very first video.

[willhibdon]

man this is a nice layout and nice sounds what sound device do you use

[wesolint]

For this video, and a few others, I have dubbed real train sounds in on top of the model trains sounds.

[yur1944]

excelente,,,,,,,,,, buen trabajo

[wesolint]

Thank you  :o)

[cali22boi]

What does FRED mean. I know what it does but Im more familiar with the term EOT. And since when do modern diesel locomotives lack ditchlights? I have seen Oakways all the time and they have ditchlights. Why not the models??

[wesolint]

F - flashing

R - rear

E - end

D - device

As for the ditch lights, they were not standard until the 1990s. These locos represent units prior to that period when rotary beacons were common (I have those installed). The video is called "BN" Doublestack, not "BNSF". I have plenty of modern locos with ditch lights, just not these.

[cali22boi]

Oh ok. Thank you for informing and correcting me sir. Your models do look great was just curious why the lack of ditchlights.

[wesolint]

You're welcome. Check my other vids for trains with ditch lights if you care to do so.

[twinkiesown]

hey,i need some help...

i plan on making a mini layout, the track that i use is atlas snap track.....this a good track to use??if not what track would be good.

[BigUnitBeef]

I personally like the Bachmann nickel silver track. It' easy to ballast and works well. The Kato track is nice too but a little pricy. It just depends on how much realism you looking for. The more you time you spend on it (ballasting, corks roadbed or plastic roadbed, etc.) the better it will look.

[tankerkk]

im rebuilding my train layout and want new train to go with my bachmann 0-6-0 HO and i want it to be diesel (my train layout has 1950's - 1970's feel.)

[nolsknows1]

Great looking layout and trains!

[wesolint]

Thank you

[badassfrontier]

Beautiful layout. Is your rocks and mountains latex rubber?

[wesolint]

I believe the ones featured in this vid are carved plaster. (It's a club layout and this was built before I joined)

[andytheman66]

well i bet the water leaks in the layout

[BOROCKHARDJR]

Oh m Gosh. I think I just pissed my self!!!! Good showing!!!!

[wesolint]

WARNING! Wear proper undergarment protection when viewing my videos! LOL

[pimposcar1000]

one of the best

ive ever

seen

[jrisen99]

Nice view from tunnel!!

I love it!

[coinman1972]

If I didn't know better, I'd swear I was looking at Marias Pass, LOL.

[helpmedr]

i like this video as well. i thought a job well done on the scenery as well.

[consistadore]

Very nice layout. I enjoyed watching the video.

[wesolint]

My friend Ross (rdw283) likes the coal trains too. He has several.

[Hiei2k7]

All i can think of when this video started is Mid-90's Savanna Illinois. EMD Units pulling random boxes!

[wesolint]

Thought you would like to know, the club member who constructed the scene in the opening shot models the Chicago & North Western.

[Hiei2k7]

Just the same as CNW EMDs pulling random boxes through Clinton IA.

[ducker1942]

AWESOME WOW NICE JOB

[wesolint]

Thanks

[TheKmannn]

Thats a nice touch with the FRED (flashing rear end device) at 1:37 and very nice sound effects you dubbed in.

[wesolint]

Thanks. I have fun making these vids. A few of the sounds I used in this one, were recorded in Canada. I have FRED on several modern cars.

[BuckFush2222]

Hey, I;m trying to get my HO set working, but the trains keep "freezing" on the tracks everytime, and I have to constatly clean them, what do you do?

[litespan46]

use dcc no more dirty track

[Hiei2k7]

Also, Varnish works quite well to clean up a track. I do it on my own set. Make sure you wipe it, then Dry it off quickly.

[jimbotrains]

i love the sound is it the train or is it copied onto the vid?

[wesolint]

It's dubbed (copied) onto the vid.

[Tcostello105]

where do you get those blinking red lights on the back of the train from?

[wesolint]

They were from Accurate Lighting (now out of business). Ring Engineering makes a nice one too - I don't own one yet though.

[wesolint]

Update, I now own one - sweet!

[jmehl77]

Gr8 vid, I really liked the whole thing and the detector made it even more real, thank-you!

[NsTrainMan07]

I like the detector recording... Can you email that sound to me?

[grahamm69]

Nice layout im from Scotland and building a HO layout based on BSNF looks good so far! like your layout looks really good

[wesolint]

Thanks. I'd like to see your layout. Gonna post it?

[VFB1210]

Damn thats one long train. Nice layout.

[wesolint]

Thanks. I'm working on a JB Hunt train with 89" flats & 53' container well cars - it should be longer!

[yawotton]

love the sound effects, i used to pull containers with a tractor trailer so this just brings back great memories

[golfingrobert]

very nice video, i have those 2 engines, i love those proto sd-60s

[wesolint]

They sure run smoooooth! Thanks for the compliment.

[dcalcutt]

Ever thought about placing your layout on-line? I'm looking for layouts to place on line and help generate alittle funding for clubs and museums.

[Stephenson18]

nice variety with containers and power nice demontrator in front with the BN with stobe light and a FRED at end of the train.....5 stars

[wesolint]

Thank you!

[Beaver456]

Nice vid and layout there. Liked the snow shed scene. Good job all around.

[wesolint]

Thanks

[NSHorseheadSD70]

I have that detector on my iPod!

[marklester01]

WHY DOES THAT K3LA,Sound like a GEEVO HORN(K5HL)?

[wesolint]

The sound bite I used was recorded in Canada. Who knows from what. I used it because it fit the scene. I don't know what exact part # EMD put on those Oakway SD60s. I DO KNOW that they are excellent pullers, and kick you in the butt when going thru transition. They are my favorite diesel and I have ridden on more than one.

[wesolint]

Me too. It's a kit that is no longer available.

[LoofLirpa4]

I also liked the flashing FRED. For me, proper lighting is really an important part of modeling modern railroading. Sorry to hear the kit is no longer available, because it looks really good on your train!

[wesolint]

Thanks, important for me too! I currently have 4 installed.

[wesolint]

Ring Engineering now offers a prototypical FRED. You can find them on the internet.

[OG4LYFEYungD]

hi, im currenty makin an intermodal freight train, planning on having a 40 unit train. can you tell me how many locos i will need to pull a 40 unit train?

[wesolint]

I will offer you my best guess. I have 2 locos on the 37 car train in the video. That should be enough to pull 40 cars if they all roll well. If you are climbing hills, you might need 1 or 2 more, depending on how steep.

[casslakechris]

This is a modular layout? Amazing!

[wesolint]

Thanks, Some parts of the layout are not this nice.

[wesolint]

Thank you and I can. The detector is a sound bite I found on the web. If you don't know about them, here is a little info. Railroads use devices placed across the tracks to sense dragging equipment, hot axles & wheels, and the newest technology even senses odd vibrations and high pitched "squealing" that may indicate metal fatigue not seen by the naked eye with routine inspection.

[wesolint]

After a train passes, a computer generated voice, is radioed out and gives an account of the reading taken. Part of the info given is: milepost location (used to determine which train the detector is talking to); a count of all axles (so if a defect is discovered it tells you which axle it's near); and which track the train is traveling on if multiple track mainline is involved. Sometimes train speed and temperature are called out too.

[wesolint]

This is usually in hotter climate areas where temps over 90' can cause "sun kinks" in the continuous welded rail and slower speeds are required. I hope this helps and I was not too long winded. Apparently, the comment gallery thinks I was.

[wranglerhuck]

Nice video..can you tell me more about the mile code detector?

[wesolint]

Thank you for the compliment. This train has 2 engines (units) and 37 cars (7 five packs & 2 singles - see movie credits).

[Alue26]

Verry good Video! A long train I see?
