Picking Up and Setting Out Rail Cars

HO scale GTW 6212 does some switching in Hixton WI before heading North through Chippewa and Stanley WI. Songs are "Killing Time" by Roger Taylor and "Voodoo" by Queen + Paul Rodgers. If you like Queen and or Paul Rodgers, I would strongly suggest going out and buying their new CD "The Cosmos Rock".

[ic6071]

Thanks!

[ohiosouthern]

Where did u get those ADM covered Hoppers?

[ic6071]

I'm not sure, I do know they are very old...our club had them donated.

[SantaFebuff]

At 4:47, how did you warp you rails like that? I would like to know, I wish to do that also on my trains.

Also, great video, I like switch jobs.

[ic6071]

Thanks! I think that it is just from the track being there for years, and expanding/contracting with temperature change. In the winter fairly chilly, while in the summer, it is fairly warm. It also could have something to do with humidity.

They are a brand of couplers that disconnect with a magnet embeded under the tracks....... its either a normal magnet or an electro-magnet (you can turn it on and off)

[RailDude72]

Do the knuckle couplers disconnect themselves somehow??? I always thought they did...

[heymrrichie]

y dont the model train owners drive them faster it would be such a long track wit such a slow train

[CSX8663]

@ic6071 thats so cool how the models can do the same as the real thing like the rails being warped

[ussoldierrail]

@ic6071 that ADM grain car! ADM is scabs, they use non union and non local construction and buliding trades. thye use illegal immigrants and pay low wages no benifits and they only hire temps for pennys break there backs.

@ic6071 The more accurate version is that CN owns the Grand Trunk Corporation that owns the IC and GTW.
