Good eye! I didn't even notice that as I took the video.

Thanks Josiah!

@@AModelRailroadNewbie Hi Glynn, it takes about 3 months.

Thanks much!

That's what I really like about Model Railroading...you can do whatever you want if it works for you. It doesn't have to follow any kind of man-made rules to play. It's the best. If people don't like it, it doesn't really matter, because it's not their layout.

Thanks for your comment. I've subscribed to your channel and looking forward to catching up on your content.

Thanks Dave. Much appreciated.

Very good eye! I really appreciate your attention to detail. What was really interesting is I tried to use scale model miles and match them to the prototype. I was only off by 2 miles. I'm pretty happy with that. Thanks again for noticing :)

do you mean you've seen a train on the road before?

Thanks Dave, I wonder what will interest people and it's good when you comment and let me know what you liked. Much appreciated. Curt

Thanks, those same cars unite our modeling world. Pretty cool. Thanks for commenting.

Was it too slow?

@@CurtBergStillLoves2PlayTrainsSpeed looked fine to me. Not every train is going to be a 60Mph express. Many factors also govern speed such as location, yard limits, slow orders, etc. Throwing in things like slow orders for a specific location, having to set out a bad car, etc. can also add to the realism and challenge your operators!

Hi Daren, thanks for watching.

Yeah, no kidding. Good to hear back from you. I've missed your comments.

I started out my modeling career using Milwaukee Rd. But the engines were retired after many hours of operations. Now I model the CNW and UP circa 1995 when UP bought out CNW.

I track the time and which train each locomotive set is assigned. I check any trains that haven't been assigned and then, by date, I pick the next one that is due. Make sense? I have a video on how I do that. I will see if I can forward that to you.

Thanks. I'm glad you appreciate the hard work.

I don't know a Carl Berg from Bellwood.

Thanks Glynn, I really enjoy all aspects of the hobby, but especially watching the trains run. If it weren't for that, what's the point?

He's so "old school" he probably wouldn't be able to get the same character out of the foam as doing it the old fashioned way. To each his own, right? Great suggestion though. Thanks for watching and your thoughtful comment.

Things happen on the RR that sometimes gets frustrating, but it doesn't get in the way of enjoying the RR.

Yes, I will do that. I did notice that as well, but was too quick to produce and didn't git'r'done.

That's my plan. Relive some memories. Thanks for helping me achieve my goals.

Yeah, I'm sorry it didn't work out, but I'm going to keep trying. So continue to let me know when you're out and about.

Thank you! It's very satisfying to hear others appreciate my layout. Model Railroading is a great hobby.

You just never know where you might end up when you're on a train trip...

@@CurtBergStillLoves2PlayTrainsI would grab a burger there when I stopped at Al’s hobby shop down the street. I miss that place.

We were going to go to the West Chicago diamonds, but when we left Elmhurst it was raining pretty hard. Maybe next time!

Thanks for commenting. It's good to know someone liked it! :)

Yes, indeed!

Thank you. It has taken me a long time to figure it all out. I've lived in 7 different homes and each one had a layout. Each layout getting better as I learn more about the hobby and operations. I'm very pleased with where I am right now and will continue to tweak procedures and details on the layout. Thank you for noticing! Great comment!

I live in Saint Charles IL. I commuted to Chicago from West Chicago in the 90's and model the Metra West Line circa 1995 (very loosely) in my basement.

I'm not the best videographer, but I enjoy sharing my rr with others. Thanks for your feedback!

Gracias!

I have a section that goes to the Powder River Basin which is about 16 feet. The main RR is 25' x 29'. It's more than what I bargained for, but I'm glad I did what I did.

Thanks for coming back and viewing/commenting on more videos. Much appreciated.

It would make more sense to have two entrances, but maybe they managed more riders having only 1 entry. Not sure of the real reason why. Very good to hear from you. Thanks for your thoughts.

Metra’s new order of cars they were supposed to get from Alstom were going to have two doors I believe but that order has been cancelled now that they received the SD70MACHs

@@UPRailfan Very interesting! Thanks for responding to Michael's 2-door observation comment.

Thanks for watching, Dave. It's a great hobby and one that is fun to spread the passion of trains.

So glad you watch my videos. I'm anxious to hear about the tournament!

Very good observation. I will take a closer look and make sure that is corrected on the next video. I can lift the top section to expose the wiring, but it would be a major overhaul to lift the full top section to get to the cars. I do have a problem with the track bumpers. Some are off and need to be put back in place. I will need to remove the end glass piece and I should be able to correct the problem. I will work on this project to be included in next week's layout update. Thanks again for watching AND commenting.

@@CurtBergStillLoves2PlayTrains Ok I hope you can fix it. sounds like it will be a bit tough though.

I fixed the track bumpers. They are back in place. I checked the UP passenger car and the CNW locomotive and commuter car and they were all correctly placed on the tracks. That was good. I could still reach them from the sides of the terminal. Just wanted to give you the final update.

@@CurtBergStillLoves2PlayTrains Awesome!! I was worried that it would be hard to reach.

Just to have one person say what you say is worth the effort to post my videos. Thanks a lot!

Thanks Glynn. Time for another video. I miss hearing from you.

It's a simple layout and it has all the features I've ever wanted. I agree, having fun together is what makes it all worth while. Thanks for commenting. I've seen your videos and you're an amazing modeler. Such precision and details. Not many are like you!
