HO Train Bridge Addition To the Layout - Dual Track
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 พ.ค. 2023
- I've been meaning to replace a single track bridge on the layout for a while now since it's had structural issues. I also wanted to add a secondary track to allow for two separate lines of operation. I'm overall happy with the results.

Cat comes in. "hold on there big shot, I gotta make sure everything to code"
We love your channel because you are authentic.
Agree 100 percent
Ok ngl I thought authentic said autistic
I really appreciate hearing that, I try my best to be honest about when I make a mistake while working on something or when I'm happy with the results.
Looks GREAT! Also glad you did this as it seems to have fixed the power issue some locos were having near the bridge.
Great video. Love what you done with the layout.
Love your layout.
Would you do a layout tour? Would love to see the yard and engine terminals
Have a great day!!
Love your channel and your videos!
Not gonna lie. The moment your cat walked on the bridge, my heart sank😮. Good bridge and great addition to your layout!!!
Some good changes to your track work. That’s the evolution of a layout due to your experiences and increasing knowledge. I really enjoyed watching you do this renovation. Thanks for sharing!
Between the advice I'm given and general experience things get slightly better each time.
This is great fun to watch, partly because I have a cat that will probably be walking on my layout too once it's done!
I love when the cat checked out the scenery of the layout
It's nerf cat
The foreman knows everything about destruction, and the cat Foreman is cool. As usual, You have done well, Harrison
Best boss anyone could ask for lol.
@@SMTMainlinevery cool cat foreman in my opinion
Lmbo when your cat sauntered through your action…so funny at his non-chalant nature!
One time back in 1985, I needed a plate girder deck bridge, maybe 35 scale feet long.
I didn't want to wait for six months for my local hobby shop to build up an order for Walthers before I would see it, so I found a damaged Union Pacific gondola, and I painted it black, and built some abutments on each side, and I laid my tracks across what was once the bottom of that gondola, and ballasted it in place. I think I put some milepost numbers on the edge of it, and I had my bridge.
That's genius, I can see the advantage over waiting.
Looks good. love it
"My foreman just arrived to approve the site". That's CLASSIC!!! I feel so connected with you right now, as I have my supervisor Creamsicle checking the progress of my model work all the time!!!
Awesome to see the boss " nerf cat " came in to inspect the job . Great job
it so good how the layout is SMT your awesome
thanks
I'm sure your cat appreciates being called "foreman."
Honestly, although I do personally think that uk locomotives are more beautiful and better in design, you have helped me see american locomotives in a new light and see the beauty in their own style. I thank you.
Not sure if you are interested, but one of the CP Orange units is trailing nose out on CP 112. Should be by Smiths Falls on Monday
Great track work! You'll love having two lines! I've got two on my layout and it is so much more action!😊
Exactly, I think it will make things far more exciting.
How much time did this project take you? Something like this seems like it would be a daunting task, but you just got in there and crushed it. Very cool video!
Probably three hours. There was obviously some work done off camera removing ballast and making small adjustments to things.
❤hi i new to your channel i love your trains❤
Cats on the layout 😂! My cats would be like Godzilla!
Eres muy práctico, gracias por compartir tus experiencias, ¿que radio de curva usa en la maqueta?
Cool layout. What is size dimensions of your layout? From the lamp to the mountain on the other side. I want to build a layout. But I am trying to determine a good length & width to go with.
Nice work! Thanks for sharing.
Love seeing moving rail lines to new routes. Thanks.
This will be a big change to the layout, but I have a feeling it's really going to make a big difference and most of all it may look better for the future!
I agree, hopefully it will all go together nicely.
Loved the weight test
You should use or have a shop vac to recover the rocks and other items for reuse
Nice video Harrison
As an old time railroader it is so refreshing to see a young man like you so active in the hobby. Great videos always.
Nicely done.
You have an awesome layout in development your channel is aways very entertaining
Looks pretty good!
Wow! Love the quality assurance test by Nerf cat xD. Great change! Congrats!
You are a productive man, dude! 😂
Any plans to redo the crossing near where the streetcar's line is?
The foreman made sure everything passed inspection before final install !!
Hi SMT! Do you know any websites that have Amtrak P42's with Dc silent equipped. Anyways, great video!
A little upgrade is always good. Nice job. From Texas
Can you do a full layout tour
The foreman does a good job 😂
👍👍👍❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂
these videos are awesome!
Nice job with the bridge and switch replacement. I like how you re-use older pieces of structures and put them back into the layout!
I figure why not. They are still useable and way cheaper than buying new.
Hi there,I think the high sided single bridge should go and remove that track and put the high sided bridge where the single black bridge is from the freight yard, it will look a lot better,
Also nerf cat demolishing the cows was pretty funny.
Hmmmm, does a cork ("dirt") roadbed go with a steel truss bridge?🤔
No way realistically but for my purposes it does.
W the layout is so nice!!!
Nice Job Harrison👍.
I always enjoy your "working on the railroad" videos and how you explain what your doing and why your doing it!!!!
Thanks, I know they aren't the most often on the channel but I have fun doing them.
Snap Switches or #4s? (the turnouts that 'wore out')
#4s. The plastic frogs wear down after about 10 years of use unfortunately
Nice, that will give you some more options for running trains. That was pretty funny with Nerf Cat showing up right on time!
Nice! Can't wait to see the finished layout and trains running
Keep it up your videos of the best❤
You did a good job adding on that bridge. That's going to be really cool to have a double track setup. I recently got some front car kits from a flea market ive been too. They were new never built . Then I went to a flea market that I've never been to and I got a Mantua 4-8-0 loco for $20 and it runs it just has the boiler cap that's missing but I can get one somewhere. The guy I was dealing with was going to give me a bunch of buildings and stuff for like twenty bucks I just don't have the room for it. Good video Harrison
Hey smt mainlines do you still have that creepy 1950s steam locomotive that you got from a store from a few day’s ago can you make a restore video out of it please please
“My foreman”
I laughed at that way more than I should have
Your chairman seems to be pleased with your efforts. Or, not. He might have ulterior motives. You are, after all, a lower level employee. You’re the treat provider and source of entertainment.
That's true, I better watch out that he doesn't write me up for insubordination.
Great video. This was the first video I've watched that covered adjusting previously completed lines in a layout. It was nice to see that it would be easier than I originally thought.
Good video , thank you.
Nice bridge
"passed the weight inspection" Great ad lib dude😋
Nice work Harrison cant wait until you have it all work out.
Hi Harrison great videos love the Forman nerf cat that's great he's a great cat
Foreman nerf cat always makes sure things are up to "scratch" lol
Great work on the layout Harrison. Love your unboxing videos, fixing locomotives, and working on the layout.
Thanks.
Those pesky rogue rail joiners...
Superb track laying Harrison, and a bridge that's built to withstand any tornado or hurricane known to cat. Even the foreman, Nerf Cat, approves.
Nice that you chose the BNSF Dash 9 for the test run.
Thanks for sharing. 👍🐾👍
Thanks, I built this one to last. Once the rest of it is built it should be a time.
How do you connect your track together?
Rail joiners.
Modificando tu maqueta escala HO.
Yo modifiqué mi maqueta escala N.
Puse una curva 93/4" de radio marca Life Like.
Me salió mal la curva uniendo 2 vías flexibles, fue mala idea, debería comprar curvas 93/4" y rectas 5 " Atlas, paquete de 6.
I love these videos when he add something new to the layout
live streames with 2 mains will be great. glad you went this direction
Once both lines are going it will be far more easy to do two requests at one.
Kitty Cat bridge tested!!!!
Very cool 10\10👌
Nice!
love to see layout updates!
What's the best way to contact you?

I love how a layout can constantly evolve if you let it. Some people get set into a hard plan and stick to it no matter what, but adapting a layout over time is part of the fun to me.
Want to run steam? Let's put in a roundhouse, coaling station, and water tower. Diesel? A diesel servicing area.
Different industries for different freight cars; boxcars, hopper cars, tank cars, auto loaders, double stack container cars...
It's hard to fit into a personal layout, but the elegance of a large passenger station with 10+ platforms is a beautiful thing to see; especially if you have the trains operating through it.
Change, adapt, and then do it again.
Absolutely, I'm not against planning but if it prevents you from doing anything that's counter productive. The point of a hobby is enjoyment and this layout does just that
Up to u of course
Nice
Great job. two track will be fun but with a cross over will be great
Also have the inner loop electrically separate from the outer loop
@@habbyguys I'm not sure if I should or not.
Great job Harrison! Im sure your weight inspector gets paid very well with kiblets.
Four cans of food a day with biscuits benefits.
@@SMTMainline Now thats what "I call being paid handsomely"
Good job! I’m sure your layout is going to look like a railroad empire
That was a cat scan.
Now that's good, double track around the layout, trains running around both ways,yes
Vacum asmr Indeed.
So i can have engines with sound
nice
I'm glad you're making your layout a proper double-track circuit. That Hiawatha siding and farm will probably have to be sacrificed in the process.
I think that one corner should just be single track and end that other curved track just before the crossing.
Nice job! Looks like they run a bit smoother thru there now too! Love your channel!
Hopefully this will reduce derailments and disconnecting couplers.
CAT Certified!
PS the bridge that you made looks fantastic
Modificación de tu maqueta escala HO.
👍😊
Im very lucky i just left after seeing 2 trains and then i get to see a new SMT Mainline video
When you get it all up those bridges. You should put somebody bungee jumping off one of the bridges
I like it.
Well it held nerf cat so its good to go lol. Definitely going to be really nice for when you do live streams.
New fan here. A bit of a CN/CPKC/UP buff. I just found your content about 2 weeks ago or so. I like the box openings :) I'm actually a content creator for Open Rails (MSTS), since I don't have space for HO or N scale modelling at the moment. I love your layout and your knowledge of all the parts/equipment you work with. Its fun to watch! Thank you :)
Nerf cat cameo. LOL. Purrfect timing. You make it look so easy. Great job on the bridge. Excellent work as always.
Thanks, it was a fun project. Can't wait to get the rest of the track done.
