 okay everybody here we go we're gonna try it again okay so here I am live at the show we bought some extra bandwidth so hopefully we'll get a better quality video this time we're gonna walk around and look at some vendor booths and talk to some vendors so I'm gonna switch the camera view and we'll take a look and see what's here in the vendor section okay this is actually kind of interesting this is the model railroad industry hall of fame this is at the NMRI train show every year and many many many many people who've made significant contributions to the hobby over the years and there's lots of familiar names here and some pretty impressive accomplishments so that's always really cool to see so we've got Marklin here and if you guys can somebody can tell me how the quality looks because of course it looks decent when it's local local on my phone but I'm hoping that we've got good quality here this is a Bachman booth yep so hi there so if you yes so if you saw the live broadcast last night with TSG multimedia that's what we saw so yes so we'll stop here and say hello to Hal Miller at model railroad a magazine hi how you're live so live in a living color yes so model railroader here's got a great-looking booth and all of their great products and Tony Custer was here earlier so there he is maybe we'll catch Tony here so it's good to see you how there he is Tony Custer this is live YouTube so say hello to the folks on live YouTube there Tony yes and Joe Fugue yes so we're walking around the train show here just giving people a little taste of what's here so yes and here we have athern hey Chris good yes lots of cool stuff and I have to say that Chris is doing me a nice little favor here one of my locomotives tunnel motor hit the floor and yes and so Chris is actually gonna document the process of fixing it and I think he's gonna put the new tunnel motor chassis underneath it that has the that has the much better the clearer view through the screen almost totally unobstructed now view so let me see if I can get in on this yeah see that's almost totally unobstructed and so but Chris will be documenting how to change over the chassis and also doing a few upgrades to my local in the process so small repair yes thank you Chris here's the Atlas booth and good old KD so let's see who else we can show you here here's Zemo Zemo these guys are mostly known in Europe but they have some very cool DCC products so I'm doing a YouTube live right now that's very nice very cool so somebody wants to know if Kato's here there's Kato what do you want to see what do you want to see this looks like n-scale here n-scale stuff local lineup here so this is Kato in right here what we're looking at looks like a nice PA there let's look in the case here any modules so what kind of modules are you looking for there's a n-scale modular layout definitely and it's superb maybe since the quality was so poor on the first video maybe we can go take a look and there's a H.O. there's a really nice H.O. Fremont layout there as well here's some Kato H.O. products it's like they got some good passenger cars here like some nice G's there there's also a t-track that's true there's some more Kato in so how's the video quality doing guys is it holding up I hope so we invested in some more bandwidth okay good good so here's the Colorado Railroad Museum very good good I'm glad to hear it the first time was an experiment kind of see what we could do once we saw that the bandwidth was kind of then I thought well let's just go ahead and invest in trying to get some Wi-Fi with some better bandwidth so we kind of go back to where we were here for Marklin but here's Lionel they're get starting to get into H.O. big time so H.O. is making a comeback Michelle is there from the museum yes she's around I ran into her we'll say hello this is the Lionel booth there so this is the layouts area try to get over there here in a little bit since the first video was kind of we'll get a little better view of the fremo in of yes the last video was pretty poor I will do that I will visit the layout area again so let's see who we have here coach yard this is Fred hi Fred doing good so I'm doing some live YouTube here so precise model specialties they have lots of very cool castings and stuff they're an advertiser and model railroad hobbyist digitrax hi this is their latest Zephyr Cascade model railroad supply do you need roadbed these guys have it hey what do you we got a straggler here oh I see so let's finish up okay so we're look hi so we're looking at some roadbed here somebody said hey I think they're saying hey to you okay yeah do you sell pork too I see pork show no I didn't think you did you just do that for comparison yeah so you've got different angles on the roadbed so you can get a 30 or 45 on the roadbed yeah the transition ramps are cool look at this guys so you can go like from full level roadbed down to like the yard level get a nice transition roadbed piece there so you can save yourself a lot of the hassle of creating the nice roadbed and save a lot of the dust you said you when it comes to sanding the roadbed you have some secrets for so there you go there's the there's the secret to sanding your homosote roadbed and no dust an orbital sander slow speed with a vacuum and of course grit and of course grit so there you go that's the secret guys thanks okay let's see who else we have here exact rail so I'm doing a quick live video you got anything to tell the youtubers live sure tell me about something new I think about 10 years we've run this car and several features we got an all-new list of paint schemes and more importantly we got the correct drop grab grab irons on the cars and so these cars are due sometime in August they're on the water right now from the factory and we hope to see him on mid-late August okay very cool thanks so if you're looking for some great structure kits check out RS lasers they've been an advertiser in Monterey Road hobbyist and I know rich shepherd well and love his stuff fabulous fabulous stuff see if we can get a good close-up here since we're getting some good video hopefully you can see these cool structures people say that we they don't see enough structures you know they get the rolling stock on locomotives but what about the structures I love this bane and mental wagons see there's the prototype it's did a nice model of that so there's some great structures here so that's RS laser kits so what else we got here oh yes issue look sound so hi guys we're doing a live YouTube here hi Matt good good so the new look sound five is out that's really cool asking us for the micro decoders so here they are I've got them in my hands here's the first two in the state so they're coming probably about 30 days it so we get everything and get it all packed in and get it out to the dealers but we are working hard to get them out to you guys very cool very cool we've got our new you know Jason's new Hudson here with the look sound five in it we got there and engines with look sound five scale trains engines with look sound five so everything looks down five today very good and it works I got a scale trains tunnel motor and it's got the five in it and so yeah that's great so great thanks Matt woodland scenics always cool scenery stuff here demos I'm doing a live YouTube so just showing people kind of what's here so what do you what are you been telling people about here at the show oh you're the demo guy okay okay so when you're doing demos what is general techniques the turf on and make trees all the basics very cool all right thank you let's see who else we have here caboose industries I think that's the ground throw guys right keep my finger out of the way I'm doing a live YouTube just kind of walking around the show a little bit showing people what's here so it's cool the way you have all of these different scales with your ground throws just kind of getting people a chance to kind of see how it works with all the different scales all the different kind of turnouts you've got a fast tracks here you got the different branch in a hara pico walther's atlas and then you've got different scales there we go some people said they'd rather see can do it than me so oh well I'm what you get please I'm what you get this time so ask the MMR I'm doing a live YouTube just give people a flavor of what's here so this is Leslie Eaton so this has become sort of your gig at the train show hasn't to do this so people come they just ask questions and help get them started if they a lot of people don't know how to weather that's very frightening so I'll teach them weathering I'll teach them airbrushing and they walk out with a skill very good and I also like that we've got some representation from the ladies too so I appreciate that yes very good thanks and MRA booth so Yankee Dabler here Yankee Dabler has been an advertiser with us let's see who else I think we're kind of get down to just the sort of the hobby shop sort of guys here although here's a tool the tool guy so let's go look at some show layouts by the way you remember TT it's smaller than HO but larger than n less space bigger trains so it's kind of it's always kind of hard to tell on video but this is TT actually so it's larger than in but smaller than HO so since we're over here see if you can get a little sense of size here see this is TT so remember like I said this is smaller than HO but larger than n so while we're over here let's look at the humongous Z scale modular layout see this is Z scale look at this guys get my finger all the way see the signs I don't know if you can tell with those cars tail lights look at this I can't imagine just the effort to plant all that static grass another sign get a sense of the sheer size of this thing one more little quick look I don't know if you can see all the lights there's this motel take a look at this yes this is very nice Z scale layout okay this looks like some O scale here actually this is Lego there's a Lego layout that's a Lego layout okay let's head for the n scale Fremont layout okay Fremont Nebraska here's the setup give you some idea so let's take a look here that n scale layout is huge I think they were trying to set a record did you guys you did set a record 19 miles of mainline very good it's I love Fremont too it's three hours and 40 minutes from end-to-end amazing hey yes it is impressive okay so they have a loop here so you kind of go through a loop loop-de-loop to do the end there's another group yes here comes another train it's like a couple of airplane three airplane fuselage loads nice so train on a passing sighting with a Fred oh this is nice nice concrete train shed snow shed so I think this is cool here turbines and just look at this this thing is huge it is huge oh I got to show you this too let's go down here I was just impressed with all the detail on this one kind of this desert scene kind of falling down Pueblo sort of thing all the rock detail another little yard and a nice turntable and water tower and coal tower and then I thought this was cool to this urban scene so you've got the town and then what you can do get away with when it in and it's harder to do an HO some skyscrapers this is like a little business park these skyscrapers so I think that's really cool so let's go do the Fremont HO layout this is more of the end scale loud here and scale Fremont we'll catch this train do a drone view here this bridge is cool too so that looks like that's what is that that's got to be over four feet was that between four and five feet yeah okay about six feet wow that's impressive nice scenery work too so lay out the size how many trains you guys think you got going all at once up to 30 trains on here you could but probably 10 was what about what you had okay very good thank you okay this is cool too these are called pizza box playoffs and the thing that's impressive to me is the you know there's a 13 year old it's a 12 year old 16 year old but here look at this 9 year old I'm not sure I could do that good at 9 years old or this one Liam age 7 could you do that good at 7 years old I don't think I could have yeah so there's lots and lots of these pizza box layouts see there are any tea track I thought there was some tea track around here somewhere it's always good to see lots of kids at these shows so here's some Brio stuff little kids so there's a number of high rail oh so this has the triple rail track another one I'll collectors of America more three rail realize this is a Sunday there's been two days of the show and it was packed yesterday but this is Sunday afternoon and so it's kind of slow usually Sundays are that way Sundays are fairly slow so there's a few people around but it's not nearly like it was on Friday and Saturday on Friday the MRH booth and a few hours we sold out all of our books I brought enough books I thought we could make it to the end of the show and we sold out the first day so here's the HO Fremont so this city scene got first place Chicago nice UP passenger train here this one's not small either some of the things that I'm impressed with there's like this circular freight house to me that's really unique and interesting and modeled well and then I love this this is the Oakland mole terminal so tell us a little bit about this so selective compression how much selective compression was applied here there's two tracks missing from the central shed otherwise the four tracks there was another shed to the south side another four tracks so likewise it's pretty close if you look at Larry Fisher's paintings you look at other pictures the lead locomotives on the cascade so it's really not that much selectively compressed it's missing a few tracks of width but length is very close yeah very impressive nice job nice bridge double truss bridge across it's like kind of a dry dry wash with just some of the leftovers of the river great structure modeling here it's just gorgeous and I don't know if you've ever tried to model a scene and put a lot of people in it that's a lot of work guys and they've done a nice job very nicely done very nicely done arenas very good very good so yeah the thing I love about Fremont is it's basically single track sometimes there's a little double track but it's very much like the real railroads not the three track race track that the the other standard modular standard is it's just me to me just looks yes very nice go over here there's a nice scene here too another bridge across a dry wash get a good view of this looks like we got a train coming to let's see if we can catch that let's get the train coming through here looks like some is that auto-rex yeah okay wonderful scenery that in that gorgeous scenery guys this is beautiful beautiful that is HO yes this is the HO Fremont modules I have to admit the end scale Fremont was very impressive as well so yeah there you go okay guys this point I think I'll sign off we've got we've gone almost 40 minutes and it looks like the quality of the video was much better this time so there you go live from the 2019 NMRA national train show in Salt Lake City sayonara
