39G Trips Overheight Car Detector
มุมมอง 557ปีที่แล้ว
NS 39G tripped over-height detector at PT 341.1. Local C56 working at Pitcairn Terminal had to go out and guide it back to CP Wing, blocking a crossing for them as well. Once at CP Wing CP Wing, 39G can take the Port Perry and Mon Line to divert around downtown Pittsburgh and the train station.
Would be great if you were happy to share this sketch. Thanks for showing what it can do.
A very informative video. Thanks for sharing.
My friend is unable to contact you about this Digitrx video but he has been looking for this switch for several years. Can you supply me with an email address that I can forward to him so he can contact you directly?
I forgot to say, I saw that Union RR diesel, very cool
Really cool vid, this was National Tube that was in McKeesport? I went on a road trip to Pittsburgh about 20 years ago, all through Homestead, Duquesne, McKees Rocks, Aliquippa, McKeesport. I was taking pics of any industrial remains I could find. I desperately wanted to go into some very old buildings in McKeesports old National Tubes buildings, but there was very tight security. I saw what looked like a very old house or wooden building mixed in very old brick buildings that looked like old, original buildings from before National Tube and US Steel Corp. They were across a very large concrete open area, close to the river. Security was so tight I never could get into see those buildings and would bet they are long since torn down now.
Thanks. Its a representation of National Tube, not a meant to be an exact model. It represents various aspects of steel making in the Monongahela Valley in the 1950's.
Very impressive- train layout, design, "small touches" , and camera angles. One of the better videos of trains, I have watched. Bit jerky on the cam, at times, but (big deal).. You showed great angles, on a most impressive layout. I thoroughly enjoyed i.
As a kid (2nd-4th grade back in the 50s) I actually lived in McKeesport. I remember the steel mills and riding the RDCs to Pittsburgh. Thanks for sharing this beautiful layout. (If you film another it would really be good to cut out the background chatter, and maybe add a bit of narration to give us some information about the club and what we are seeing.)
That would’ve been an awesome video if it weren’t for the jibber jab in the background.
I only came here to watch the iron ore trains
Coolest thing I’ve ever seen
Very nice layout,,thanks for sharing..
How hard was it to install
Again, good detail everywhere except weathering of rolling stock.
Thanks. But it takes time to weather 1200+ car inventory, we're working on it.
Nice
Wow really nice layout and steel mill modeling. Question: At 1:52. Are those billets/blooms and/or rails in those gondolas?
Finished pipe. We model a pipe piercing mill. Since the layout is loosely based on McKeesport and the surrounding Mon-Valley area, our fictional "Falk Works" mill is based loosely on US Steel National Tube Works and an amalgamation of a few US Steel blast furnaces in the area (such as Carrier Furnace for the old USS Homestead Works).
@@mikepilyih6524 Oh wow cool. I am retired from the former Bethlehem Steel plant in Steelton, PA. I was a railroad rail straightener/inspector. 35 total years at that place. I also worked at the Pipe Mill at that plant.
Awesome layout with a ton of great details!
Actually I had a hand in starting this
👍🚂🚞🚞🚞Gorgeous layout👌
Wow.
ÇOK GÜZEL OLMUŞ ELLERİNİZE SAĞLIK BU BİR EFSANE
the entire steel industry was legendary- you might say- a railfan's dream....
WHAT NO WAY! Victorias Secret stayed till the end?
Very cool
will you please share your Arduino sketch. I have code to make tortoise machines work with Arduino but have not gotten the Arduino to work with a loconet interface. I am looking for the code to connect Arduino with loconet interface.
Nice setting Mike!
I agree any way to see the wiring diagram?
Thank you! What a great technique. I implemented this into my base show.
Software may look a little different now, but its all the same concept. I don't have a desk in front of me at the moment, but I think you might be able to set this all up from the Fader Config tab now
Thanks... this looks like a brilliant idea!! For me, I have the same question as Basil wrote: any way to see the wiring diagram?
Great video, thank you. Could you please tell us how you wired everything up? Thank you.
Where did you find those buildings? I know they are older models as I have 2 of them (hays and the general store) ? I inherited them from my grandfather and i would love to add to the buildings I have with similar ones!
They are the Hallmark Sarah Plain and Tall Collection. I found them at a Greenberg train show. They can be found online. I added the snow and lighting for this layout
What did use for the snow
Started by painting the surface all white. I did the snow based on Lou Sassi's ground goop only I used white paint instead of brown. Its Cellucaly, vermiculite, white latex paint, white glue, a touch of cerulean blue acrylic paint, a small amount of Woodland Scenics snow, and water. Mix it together into a goopey paste, spread it around and shape it. Then while its still wet sprinkle Woodland Scenics snow all over it. For the structures I speckled Woodland Scenics flex paste on the roofs, window sills, and any other upward facing ledge where snow might lay. Then I sprinkled Woodland Scenics snow all over the structure, then shook the excess snow off. Do this over a container or tray where you can collect up the unused snow and put it back in the bottle. Did the whole layout with barely one bottle of snow. Check out this video on how to make Ground Goop: th-cam.com/video/R-uIIlUr76E/w-d-xo.html
Nice layout! Love the winter scenes. Merry Christmas!
Turn out really good Mike. Merry Christmas and God bless you and yours!
That is very nice! Merry Christmas.
very nice love the lights in the buildings Merry Christmas
Awesome. Very nice layout. Also very nice video at ground level. Merry Christmas.
You released a video on October 8, 2020 "Digitrax DS64 Turnout Control". Because it's on 'TH-cam for Kids' there is no way to ask these questions in the comments area for that video. I enjoyed that video, loved the idea, but is there any way you can post as to what wire goes where? I'd like to create a similar way to do this, but I would need a diagram or revised video explaining how the wiring works? Alas, in that October 2020 video, there are so many wires I can't trace them by watching, please help?
OH NO! I didn't realize I did that. Will fix it.
@@mikepilyih6524 Thanks Mike. Your video is important to me and I would enjoy learning as much as I can from how you set it up so well.
Great model train with beautiful weather and scenes
why the hell is this recommended
What, you don't like a random train video from a totally random place? lol Nobody knows why TH-cam recommends what it does.
This is great, are you going to be making the code available either for sale or free? Also where in the chain do the Tortoise motors go? Thanks.
Tortoises could be wired directly across the LED's. However Arudiono I/O pins only handle 40mA of current. A tortoise at stall is 17mA, 4mA when moving. So if you have a crossover where you have two motors and an LED wired up to an output you'd be awful close, if not exceeding that limit. I'd like to iron out the code just a bit more before I post it anywhere
@@mikepilyih6524 HI Mike anymore on your wonderful sketch?
did you ever locate or craft the sketch to make this work?
Awesome love to see the code
I think you meant 2021?
Mike, Re: DS64 Turnout Control video. Could you share a schematic of the wiring? I’m not sure how LEDs were wired. Thanks for any diagrams. I enjoyed the video.
I'll work on a diagram. The LED's are bi-directional red-green LED's that are wired, the a 1000ohm resistor, in parallel with the switch motor. The switches are connected from Com (I think) on the DS64 to its "S" inputs. Digitrax discontinued the DS64 and replaced it with the DS74 a few months back. It works the same but has pin headers instead of screw terminals for the inputs.
awesome have to visit
I still would have ventured into those closed areas. Little chance there is security there
I Hope You keep Making Video's When You Can
Keep up the Great work
Thank you for the Great video

Nice!
Nice!
