at 0:40, what is the switches used for? track turn or what? =)

[rwundrock]

@fordlukebo The smaller toggles are for the two main line blocks. This is so I can hold outbound trains while still switching. The larger toggle is a "CTC/Local" throttle switch. This also controls the outbound/inbound signals. This may all change by next summer as I'm planning a DCC conversion.

Hey why are the dentures there?

[rwundrock]

Thy are located at the St. Paul "Bridge" Works. Bridge is another word for false teeth.

They are actually a plaster mold of my lower teeth used many years ago when I wore braces.

Run just like a prototype railroad. Good job on the narrating. Short and to the point. A+!

Thanks for the positive comments. When I was in college I wanted to become a TVradio/film producer or announcer. I found I wasn't a good enough announcer and TV production didn't pay enough.

I ended up as a broadcast engineer.
