NJ Hi-Railers Jan 18 2025 - Please Read Description
This video is not meant to be a polished overview but to document in as much detail the layout as of January 18, 2025. After an overhead overview, I started in the Southeast corner and shot video and stills in a counter-clockwise direction. The video presents in that order, as if you were walking there yourself. The NJ Hi-Railers origins were in the late 1990’s and they moved into their current building in 2002. Today the main layout is 185 feet by 30 feet and the members number about 70. There is also a Standard Gauge layout that originally belonged to TV personality Tom Snyder (at 36:51) and the layout that was seen the TV series The Sopranos (at 38:05). The club will be moving out of this location, and when the new location is found, the new layout will be different. There is a great video by Ben F that interviews the members and talks about their history, click here th-cam.com/video/jo2NjqIhk5k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nrJzBJr6MicHQRgU

Coming home from seeing the NJ HiRailers layout, my driver, Mark Lehmann, took us through the hamlet of New Hope and we had great timing to see the train crossing in front of us. We then chased it to its terminus and watch the engine switch to pull it back.

Although we do not officially start until next Saturday Dec. 21st, Winterthur was having a Santa Brunch and many families and kids were there. So we opened up the train shed and fired up the locos, which was appreciated by many!

    Just looking back, some really awesome trains on the layout. Still stunned that the new Dave Carse Forney Gp7 can pull 18 State Cars by itself. But also gotta say, almost nothing cooler than a pair of Challengers running together on the front.

    Omg you guys have a lot of the great standard gauge trains and my favorite bucket, list, item from general trains, and yet you were just showing a bunch of pictures of old people standing around, run the trains. And sell me the general trainstrain

      As per the title, this was the breakfast meeting, hence it included all the people who attended. There are 4 other videos that are focused on just trains running. A large part of SGMA is the social aspect of catching up with those we only see at York.

    Incredible historical film of a 1964 layout that features Lionel Standard Gauge trains. As a note, to augment the weak audio, turn on the closed caption feature [CC]. One of the features mentioned is that the rails are all hand laid over individual ties!!

    Was a fun day, lots of great trains showed up but the show was over way too quick. Thanks to Kirk, Jeannette, Chris - and Joe! for putting together a beautiful layout at Winterthur.

  • @northernutahlivesteam
    @northernutahlivesteam ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, the Pennsylvania Challenger is very cool. Looking at your channel, there seems to be at least one other articulated engine. I’m not a standard gauge expert, but I’m guessing those are custom builds?

    • @joeblossic8864
      @joeblossic8864 ปีที่แล้ว

      As far as I can recall, yes. The exception might be the very last day Super Brute electric, but that too is a bit of an one off. Further info on it is in the description on the Jan 2 video.

  • @pilsudski36
    @pilsudski36 ปีที่แล้ว

    Who is still building standard gauge trains? Clearly these are not all from the 1920's and 1930's!

    • @joeblossic8864
      @joeblossic8864 ปีที่แล้ว

      While some trains running are originals from 1920's - 1930's, many are from the modern era. Some are scratch built by a few very talented members. The most commonly available are from the 1980's - 2000's Lionel Classics / MTH (Mike's Train House) which are in reality one in the same. As for today, I would recommend the book "Not Your Daddy's Standard Gauge", available from David Carse for those interested in MESG (Modern Era Standard Gauge). CMT LLC PO Box 21 Hinesburg, VT 05461 The price is $120 plus shipping of $16 At 648 pages it is the "Gold Standard" encyclopedia covering all the manufacturers, their trains and their stories.

    What do you use for grass and track bedding? If you don't mind me asking. I would like to do that with my standard gauge trains setup.

    • @joeblossic8864
      @joeblossic8864 ปีที่แล้ว

      Outdoor carpet, green for grass, grey for road bed. This came from Home Depot but same is available in many places.
