And another very nice ops session concludes. Thanks, Rick.
Keep safe Rick. never let your guard till all is over. loved the video.
Yes Rick my wife and I went to the train show at the Big -E in Springfield Massachusetts. Holy crap a whole lot of eye candy, we went for both days Saturday we scouted and Sunday went for the sales. Hell we're watching a video now on TH-cam 😊. It was the Amherst Railway society that put the show on. Have a good one Rick!
Hey Rick! Yes, the “Big Railroad Hobby Show” is in West Springfield next to the CSX wes’side yard. It’s put on by the Amherst Railway Society. And it’s always the last weekend in January. It’s currently spread over four buildings. I did not attend this year. 👍🏻
Hello Rick & Hello Benjamin & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Rick & Benjamin & Friends Randy
I like yer yard dog sound effect - that should put fear into anyone thinking about trespassing, right?
Benjamin is a good name for him
Another great video. I use an old Iphone 5 as a throttle. It is the perfect size to hold in one hand. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Mr. Rick, Glad to hear that you're clear from Fire area. I just hope with rainy season, I pray there no flare ups.
The rain was super nice! Kind of like that empty yard. Time to clean the track!
You really need to consider a proto throttle it will take your operations to a new level
Sound is nice. Softer is better. So loud you can hear it from 4 feet away, bad. Just my opinion. Keep the videos coming. They are great.
Beautiful layout.
Glad you think so.
I have a suggestion if you want to go a little more prototypical and that's ground throws for the turnouts. I use the Caboose Industries ground throws on my HO layout. Layout height is waist high and 24 inch depth front to back. Sure it's a little more fiddly than your stick thing but it works okay with my Atlas code 83 turnouts. One more thing that connect me to the operations. Oh yeah - DC operations as I couldn't afford to outfit 30 locos with decoders.
I agree with you about the turnout locks. Better to have them for formal ops only. Casual ops they would just be a nuisance.
Used to be on exempt track (under 10 mph) you didn't need the locks. Not sure about now. Modern/current. Might go look?
Super video again rick
I went to Amherst last year. Can’t financially justify the $1500 it cost to go every year, but wow what an experience
I've always wanted to go but now ambulatory issues have ended that hope. It's the little things you find, that you never heard of, maybe a one soul operation, that sometimes mean more than that scoop deal on some Athearn snoot. I've watched alot of the show vids. The lighted coupler pick was a fav. Small find on one.
What part of Ct did you grow up in? I grew up in North Haven Ct! 👍🏻🇺🇸
