Trains, mostly. Videos are typically on Mondays, streams on Fridays and Sundays on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/data_ve
This is not a strict schedule, nor is it all I do on the channel; I sometimes post wildly different stuff whenever I feel like it, especially when it comes to shorts and streams.
If there's recent content you enjoy, please do like and/or comment on the respective video - this tells me I'm doing something right, and I'll consider doing those kinds of videos more frequently. It helps boost my confidence on posting these things.
Sorry JS&B and PA fans, I just don't have the motivation to play those anymore, as speedhacking has gotten bland and One-Life Reviews are REALLY hard to make. Maybe one day I'll return, but don't count on it. Life just moves on sometimes, yknow?

Downhill freight on the Baker & Grande Ronde
My father, sister and I went out to a local garden railway show this weekend. Got to see this sweet layout in action, even though half of it was out-of-service due to washouts destroying the handlaid track.
Got this video of a train heading on the 4.3% downhill from the Summit.

Rambly video showcasing things I've got recently that will likely show up in the near-future. I kept having cold feet on the alliterative title, but it just felt... right. Though some Phrases had to be Purged to make it Perfect, much to my Pity. Alas, Perhaps another opportunity will Present itself sometime Past now. ...I'll stop...

One regret for this video - I left out a lot of the silly derailments (and my subsequent comments about them). Maybe I should make a blooper reel someday. There were about 3 I didn't show here... "JG" stands for nothing, by the way. Just gibberish to make the warehouse seem more important. "PNC" stands for "Pacific National Coal".

Without a doubt this is the prettiest garden railroad I have seen. Glad I found this.
Very cool! We need to get our G scale layout built. We've been focusing on our indoor layout.
Yeah, I know the feeling... this entire garden railway show has made my father and I both want to get into just a *sliver* of G. We really don't need to, but it *would* be fun...
Would be fun to have some RS 3's. Wonder if there is a Mod for that.
I downloaded the logging gons file.. What do i do next. not too computer savy.
Beautiful models. Glad to see this on the live stream
I took 73 cars 5115 tons from Whittier yd to Sylva Interchange. 3 GP 9's. Git down to 12 MPH at times but made it,
Do ho n3 Loco
For the first part of the video (not the 🖐 thing) thats litterly me. Maybe not as much "i got to make a youtube video" its more like game development. I got a model i wanted to finish MONTHS AGO, But i havent 😅
Dude, you got a real deal with that Tweetsie Ten Wheeler! I got the “Hobbes Green” variation of the #12 for about $100 on TrainWorld when they were on clearance, and that thing has no sound at all! Though, on the flip side, it was also brand new, so I suppose it evens out.
Man, I wish I was around when that clearance sale was on... I'd kill for those prices. Though I do agree the sound is a better deal, even with the cosmetic damage
A Tweetsie 4-6-0 for $110 is an insanely good deal. "Car dock." I mean, with some older "land yachts" it can sure feel like you're coming into a dock when you park them. And yes, there were cars in the late 1800s, they just weren't as common as they became once Henry Ford started using the assembly lines to build his Model T and other cars. A tree that doesn't fit in with the rest of the layout seems to be a *tree*mendous problem. Scratch build a circus train out of the underframes lol Sounds like you had lots of "fun" dealing with your Kadee conversions. You still have the Heartless & Coin River combine? Wow. I think it would be interesting to see it turned into a comboose. Coach #69 - Nice. You're going to need a 12x24 layout for the N scale stuff I'm planning to send you. And that's gonna be some time in the next 18 days. Free pass into train shows, lucky ba*SteR*d. Good on you and your father for letting the kids run the trains. You ought to come out to that show in Caldwell in September. You've got more than plenty of time to submit your layout lol Is that asterisk about the 0-6-0 the fact that it's got split axles? - Okay no. Because I'm biased to O scale despite modeling HO, I'm gonna say On18 for the 0-6-0. Love the ramblings lol. Hope you do more videos in this style, it's very entertaining.
"you're gonna need a 12x24 layout for the N scale stuff I'm planning to send you" One fear Caldwell... is quite the drive. Would need a good bit of funding to support a trip like that... I do have another 0-6-0 with a split axle... Got it for free a while back, maybe if I fix it I can do both On18 and HOn30. Or maybe I can just push further into one or the other...
I'm just cursed now because whenever I hear the word car I just end up thinking about the bottom gear memes. Because when you were talking about the garage all I could think was "CALL 999 ME FO*KIN CAR IS BEING ON FIRE M8!"
Perhaps, equipment permitting, live stream some of the work on rolling stock. That way we, your loyal army of not at all strange fans, can discuss crimes and memes and keep you motivated.
The biggest bottleneck for doing this would be a computer for the basement... of which I have four spare laptops and a linux desktop currently not in use, along with two webcams... Idea's definitely on the table! Planning to experiment with it in mid-July during the Second Streamathon.
I like your idea of a 'true' style, but have to confess I also like the trench design. Still, a fine project and good to see it all in On30!
Hey ster can You make a pre-laid track map for the aurora falls map i'm the game
How dju down load on Linux
Idk if you came up with this or not, but this is a very novel concept. Considering I'm likely never going to be able to make a layout that takes up more space my current layout, At some point I might end up making a standard gauge version of this when I'm older.
Never would I have imagined such complex operations coming from such a simplistic track layout. You've done something that many model railroaders fail to do: Turn a loop of track with a small number of switches into something that would be genuinely fun to operate. Also, I have to say it, I'm highly impressed by the amount of geographical research you did to justify the placement of certain industries along the layout. An excellent little running session, and proof that you don't need a big layout to have fun operating. Looking forward to more in the future from the W&PK.
I love how you made so much out of so little track and board. I don’t have as much track and need to get some more for my layout but the idea of going around several times until you get to the next town is so neat.

Nice
You need video SEO service. That's mean TH-cam search result top ranking your video.
My dad is the same way as I am starting my main large layout. I collect the trains not him he just loves to help and stay busy. I have something specific for my On30 layout and he sees something online and loves it or he thinks of something he just says we should do it. I just told him he has space in his basement he can do his own layout I wouldn’t mind helping him as well. He loves red rock Arizona especially Sedona so Dave’s videos doesn’t help 😅. I wouldn’t say he has Autism though. Just a need to stay busy and help his kids
Why caulk the track down when track nails exist? Just seems silly to not use track nails for… track
It's easier to adjust track placement that's in setting Caulk than it is to pull out track nails. It gave us more wiggle room for mistakes, which was especially important for the 18" radius half-circles, as some of our engines are a little picky about that curvature and I didn't want things to be too sharp on accident.
@@Storage_Unit ah see that makes sense. I personally soldered track together first then went back and nailed the tracks down, minor adjustments made before then. Not perfect but I never expected it to be, and it works well enough for my locos, I’ve already confirmed that both engines can make it up the 4% 16 inch radius hill
I don't know if you're planning on doing this but, painting the sides of the rails and sleepers makes a layout look so much better. I picked this up from watching That Model Railway Guy on TH-cam. I have used it on my OO9 layout that I am building and I can run a bachman quarry Hunslet over with no problems, if your worried about power getting to a loco.
We're planning to! ...mostly so we can also paint over the White Caulk so it doesn't stick out. But it'll also look pretty sick once done.
I started a new game one time by instantly buying a bunch of flatcars, and accidentally found the last glitch.
I’ve jumped in several times on servers to help them out without them knowing. Laying out Indy track, buying cars etc
How is the Twitch footage smoother at 720p60 for me, than watching TH-cam livestreams after they've finished...
for some reason these videos randomly came to mind so I spent like thirty minutes seeking em out (probably could've done it way faster...) feels weird that this is *only* five years ago even though that totally makes sense- maybe it's just because so much has happened since and like, im pretty much NOTHING like how i was five years ago hahahah it's interesting though seeing how some parts still kinda synced with the music like the beams at the start and the cannon shots at the end! pretty neat too how it waits for the music to catch up every few attacks. none of that registered in my mind when i first watched this hahahah, i was like 10 or 11 so i was just giggling at how the silly little boss guy's movement was funky- dunno what the point of this comment is really bahahahah, just my nostalgia talking i guess- glad to see the channel's still going though!!! the model train stuff genuinely looks super cool so i might pop in every now and then hahah
An hour? Good lord, this is by far your longest video so far (not counting stream VODs). Half way through it, and since you asked for a critique, all I have to say so far is that it feels just a tad slow in terms of pacing. Everything else has been pretty darn good thus far. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After finishing the video: Your perfectionist side is definitely showing through in this one. Also we definitely need more FathSteR cameos in these videos. The shorty combine turned out beautifully, and I'll 100% agree that it's PB&J colored lol. Very cute when put with Snickerdoodle. Loved it all around, hope some day you can do a stream where you build a simpler kit.
A bit long winded fo me but nice end results. Makes me want to pick up a trench engine myself.

Hello
Yo man! About the new couplers and how to change it back: Options - Gameplay - Automatic Couplers! ON is knuckle, OFF is link and pin
...man,, how blind I was to miss that while complaining, it's super obvious in hindsight... Thanks for the tip!
@@Storage_Unit ..also... Im getting familar with the new map...har 4-7 saves to it If u ever need some "route hints", etc...holla at me
Nice little Mogul To The Collection
22 is a very fancy little mogul, and she's definitely worthy of carrying the lettering of the W&PK. The new lore does give me some questions, mostly regarding another locomotive that you mentioned in this video. The Budweiser tender has proven itself useful for something. Hopefully the wrecked locomotive will be able to be used for something else now that there isn't going to be a broken bridge. Ah, the classic tale: Had an engine with a problem, tried to fix it, couldn't fix it, got another engine, unwittingly broke it in the same way as the first, and only then fixed them both. That gondola must've been out for your soul because damn did it not want to stay on the track. 22's decoder must've been working alongside that gondola to give you the most trouble it possibly could. An excellent example of Murphy's Law. Also can I just say, your father's layout is epic. Another excellent video, and good to see a new locomotive for the W&PK fleet. Hope to see many more in the future.
The camera does not make the green on Number 22 noticeable, I actually love that green, though!
Wait… if 22 is a “more modern engine”, wouldn’t it make more sense for 21 to have the wood cab, and 22 to have the steel cab?
yknow I didn't exactly think that through lmao, I just liked the shiny, easy-to-paint replacement part
