I like it but try to get new trains

[wesolint]

The creators of this video series (me included) picked the modeled era to be in the 1980's. The trains are mostly correct for that time period. I have other videos with modern era trains in them. Search for a video titled "Big Mountains - Fast Trains" or "BNSF Z-train" or "MRL Junk Train". Also, I have a lot of real train videos.

sum1 help please 1:31 do u push a button n they unhook or did u stop the vid n do it n pull'd the train away>i never understand how they do it when i watch model trains videoz

[wesolint]

@babiiblueboi I should have answered this long ago. In the original footage, I never stopped filming and just reached in and uncoupled the cars by hand and then had the locomotive operator continue with the switching chores. Through the magic of editing, I just spliced out the part with my hand reaching in and "PRESTO!" seamless automatic uncoupling - lol. Hope that clears it up for you.

Great video!

I am not saying that this isn't your's but didn't MTrails have a video just like this? Anyways great job and great trains

[wesolint]

Yes and no.

TRAINS ACROSS AMERICA is a video series with several participants exchanging HO scale freight cars between themselves to simulate real train operation across the USA. There are several "parts" posted - I think about 25 so far with more to come.

This video is part of "Season 1" with mtrails, myself (wesolint), and chessie4155 as the participating YouTubers.

I see that a PERFECT world on that layout.. not a bit of weathering at all ..

[Applachia0928]

You guys still need to model Conrail? I can probably do that when the layout's up again.

Best song for this video. Period. Good work!

ahhhh the 80s Santa Fe was still Santa Fe, Burlington northern was still Burlington northern, SP was still SP, C&O and B&O were still C/B&O and all minded there own business until the dreadful 90s when CSX and BNSF happened and SP, NP, WP, and EP(mythical line) was forgotten! and C&O and southern seaboard mixed and CSX came and union pacific stole the glory from Santa Fe!

[geomodelrailroader]

nice video Wesolint I see this type of operation at Bliss every day. except it is full cement cars for empties and empty grain cars for full ethanol cars.
