Hi Tim, our good friend Roy Smith asked us to swing over to your channel and see you have been doing with Seaboard Central. From what I've seen so far, you have a marvelous and working railroad that helps all of us my watching and listening. Thanks so much. Dean from Minnesota
Tim Roy from Panama suggested your channel and I'm looking foward to watch more....thanks for sharing....Jack Watched a few of your other videos WOW, what a nice railroad, looks great....!
I was hired out as a Conductor in 1996. In 2000 I was promoted to an Engineer. I’ve also trained as a Yardmaster and worked as a Supervisor in Car Management for seven years. I’m back to being an engineer now and will do that until I retire. Thanks for watching!
Love it, love it, love it! It's great that you're doing this video series. I'm watching your monthly updates to possibly get ideas for my layout when I start it this fall. Thanks again Tim.
Thanks! I wasn’t sure how this would go and if folks would enjoy it. I’m still going to keep doing my updates at the end of the month too. I just thought I’d try to offer something else on the channel. Tim
@@SeaboardCentral They'll go over very well. I'm not sure if you've seen Rob Bennett's channel, but he has many how to videos in a playlist. They are very popular, along with his layout updates. I rank your attention to detail eye up with his. It is simply amazing just how much you put in a small something to make a scene seem real and pop. Thanks again. :)
Always good to hear from “the Pro’s” aka professional railroaders - and get tips on how to make our layouts even more realistic. Two 👍👍 on your series!
nice vid... i too was influenced by allen mcclelland and eric brooman... and seeing pictures of the utah belt way back in the early 80s is what got me even deeper into the hobby(my opinion the TOP/#1 model railroad of all time)... also that book you showed by john armstrong, he was a modeler as well... surprised that the NS was so influenced by his book... he wrote several books including one of his classics, "track planning for realistic operation"
I sure wish I could hear that, but my ears are long gone. I remember The Utah Belt. That was a great free lancer, which is my primary interest. I also got to see Seaboard Central's map, since I asked about one in a previous video.
Great start on the video series. I'm looking forward to the next one. Interesting coincidence - I worked for a software company in Huntsville for a while and lived just outside of Guntersville. Great place to watch trains back in those days!
@@SeaboardCentral When I was there in the late 80's / early 90's, there were still remnants of the rail ferry operation that barged rail cars between there and Hobbs Island, which is downstream (to the northwest) although I did find out that the rail ferry service ended in the late 1950's. If that was ever put back into operation, it would be a Seaboard Central ferry! :-D
Fantastic!!!! What an amazing idea to do these series to complement the layout updates, loved it, can`t wait for the next one, Thank you Tim, big thumbs up! 👍👍👍
Hey Tim, Its nice to see a layout based in my old home state and area. I grew up around Stockbridge, Ga. in the 1990's until the mid 2000's before I joined the military. Me and my stepdad would go down to the hwy bridge there on Sunday afternoons to watch trains go by. Have you ran any trains through my old home town? I know that line is the old Southern line that runs through Henry County Ga. I like the proto-freelance concept. My future layout is based on the Southern and CofGA back in the 1970's but with a couple of twist. First that the CofGa never got adsorbed into the Southern. Second, that the branch line in Porterdale, Ga continued to Stockbridge, crossing the Southern main line there, and connected with CofGa main line between Atlanta and Griffin, Ga at Jonesboro, Ga
Thanks Nate. I actually run trains on the Greenville District that runs between Atlanta and Greenville, SC. It’s funny but I came up with the idea for my SC about 7 years before I started with the NS.
Hey Tim very nice video, great work! i can't wait for the weathering series! i always was wondering how they are weathered. i think your new series are a very good idea looking forward to more videos, cheers
Hey Roy Smith sent me your way. I'm looking forward to seeing the how too videos. I'm just starting my own layout and trying to learn as much as I can.
Hi Tim, your new series sounds Great . I can hardly wait, for the next one! But will. So how is the center section of the layout progressing? Tis mid summer, and be Labor day before ya know. The internet is abuzz with speculations on the Detail at Horse Shoe Curve. What's your professional answer on this incident? Thanks for sharing, you always keep me entertained as well as intrestered in your beautiful layout as well the profesiolism to the trains. That make up this great hobby. Thank you and God bless.
Thanks James. I want to finish replacing all the rest of the backdrops and then I plan on starting on the new modules. Sometimes my estimated timeframe needs to be extended but I’m in no real rush. I’d rather get things right first. From what I’ve heard the derailment was caused by the placement of the empty cars on the head end of the train which had a lot of loaded cars trailing resulting in stringlining around the curve.
Hey Tim, Thanks for the very helpful info. It sadden me to see your beloved GP38 just sitting with no motor. If you would accept a gp38 donor from me, I'll gladly send it to you.
Thanks for the offer. It actually has a motor but hasn’t ran in many years. Because it was an early run the detail on it is not exactly the best. I’ve decided to keep it parked around the shop as a sidelined locomotive for parts. One day I’m going to get a couple more of the newer GP38s that have better detail and will be painted up similar to this one and numbered 1989 and 1991.

Very cool that you’re a conductor for NS!!!!!!!!!

Seaboard Central no problem I enjoyed the video very much I have dreams of working as a Engineer for a Wheeling and Lake Erie some day!
What a great video..Thank you so much for going into detail about your layout and how became about
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice Tim. It's good to finally learn more about the thought process behind the SC. I'm looking forward to this series.
Thanks Joe!

@@dmitze01 I totally agree. Now i'm jealous because Tim gets to hang around SD40-2's!

I think I'm gonna like this series. I can always use help with operations. Very cool back story on your layout. Adds some character and meaning to it.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Very much enjoyed.
Great start on the video series. I'm looking forward to the next one. Interesting coincidence - I worked for a software company in Huntsville for a while and lived just outside of Guntersville. Great place to watch trains back in those days!
Thanks Tom. Never been there but I bet it would be cool.

Excellent video Tim! That was a great overview of your layout and operations plan. I look forward to seeing your monthly segments.-Tom
Thanks Tom! I hope to improve on this one and make the next one even better. Tim
Your awesome. Great job on the layout
Hey Tim
very nice video, great work!
i can't wait for the weathering series! i always was wondering how they are weathered.
i think your new series are a very good idea

AWESOME Tim!!! LOVE this idea video series! Great work sir! Be safe out there! - Gary
Very cool. Thanks.😁
Great video Tim! Really looking forward to more of this series.
Thanks Dusty!
Good job Tim...! I'm still trying to figure out who the one person was that gave you a thumbs down... So I'll give you 👍👍
Thanks Cameron! I’ll take it. I guess I’ve got my own troll that gives me a thumbs down as soon as I upload something. Lol.
Just keep up the good job...!
They weren't giving that book in McDonough in 2002 when I went through. Interesting!
I went in 1996. It’s a good book if you’ve never seen it, especially if you are a railroad fan.
Hi Tim, your new series sounds Great . I can hardly wait, for the next one! But will.
So how is the center section of the layout progressing? Tis mid summer, and be Labor day before ya know.
The internet is abuzz with speculations on the Detail at Horse Shoe Curve. What's your professional answer on this incident?
Thanks for sharing, you always keep me entertained as well as intrestered in your beautiful layout as well the profesiolism to the trains. That make up this great hobby.
Thank you and God bless.
Thanks James. I want to finish replacing all the rest of the backdrops and then I plan on starting on the new modules. Sometimes my estimated timeframe needs to be extended but I’m in no real rush. I’d rather get things right first.
From what I’ve heard the derailment was caused by the placement of the empty cars on the head end of the train which had a lot of loaded cars trailing resulting in stringlining around the curve.
Your awesome tim i hope see your layout someday your great man
Nice job. I love that book by John Allen, highly recommend it to anyone serious about prototype ops.
Im getting into operations now. Im starting to like it. Had to miss the old conrail unit today that ran the griffin district.
Hey Tim,
Thanks for the very helpful info. It sadden me to see your beloved GP38 just sitting with no motor. If you would accept a gp38 donor from me, I'll gladly send it to you.

One day I’m going to get a couple more of the newer GP38s that have better detail and will be painted up similar to this one and numbered 1989 and 1991.
The realistic controllers won't happen for me, I will do well to have enough to make one train by 2030.
