Awesome video! only thing you're missing is the horn signals.

Nice job. Good point of view on the camera and switching angles. The sound really added to it!
-
wow very nice layout good work on it, the scale looks good and does not resemble a "toy like" scenes very nice
-
@hollywood1340 Well maybe it's just the NS crews in NC that don't like to run em cab-forward
-
@Amtrakeng Also, when you are switching, unless there are crossings around or you simply can't see there is no need for the lights to be on bright.

@mtrails Turn that bell off!!!! You are using it in a way that it does not need to be used!

@Amtrakeng Well that's not the case on all railroads. CN in Canada ... 1. Non main track - headlight on any setting - dim or extinguished when meeting another movement. 2. Mainline - Bright when moving except when meeting someone - day or night. 3. Trailing end of engine or engine consist - dim - again can be extinguished when meeting someone day or night. 4. Ditchlights must be on when headlight is required to be on bright and headlights must be on bright approaching crossings with no expection

Just so's ya know, the headlights don't turn off when you change directions on the real one, both ends, on bright, all the time, unless there is another crew working, or a train passes on the main, dim them only at night..I never turned mine off, ever, unless I was done for the day, I ran those for 17 years on and off.....nice layout...

Great video Mtrails. I have a question what does it mean to take the cars to the yard for ''classifying''?

Thanks. Some will say "sorting" and some say "classifying".. means the same thing: Setting the cars on designated tracks for a specific train, or trains to pick up.
