That apocalyptic train is the coolest train I've ever seen, good job. Now a city and or a town needs to have the same theme..
Yeeeeeeppppper! I'm working on it. But first, the subway!
@@ItsMyRailroad can't wait for that , I love detailing you do on your layout...
@@ItsMyRailroad you are definitely having fun modelling your way!👍 Now, that monster long car likely needs more weight onto the wheels in particular the lead and tail wheels. Another option could be to fix the center sets of wheels and slice off the flanges and minimize rail contact, with large radius curves it shouldn't be too obvious if they track just off the rails vertically and horizontally.
Welcome bake Steve, you have been missed. Your layout is incredible.
Hey thanks for that!
Is Steve a baker? 🤔
When I was in high school my grandfather had a n gauge layout in his basement. We both had a good time working on it, so my friend I am sure your grandson enjoys the time with you.
He loves watching those trains run. Thanks Kevin!
Mad Max of model trains!
Welcome Back Steve. I have missed your videos. Also, Praying for EVERYTHING you and your family have been going through and your loss. Please Please Please don’t stay gone this long anymore. Really miss your humor and your knowledge of the hobby.
Thanks Steve! It's been a rough couple of years for everyone. Hopefully we'll see some spectacular things in 2023!
Glad to see you back. You are an inspiration for all us regular guys just wanting to run trains
Thanks Paul!
PUTTING THE FUN BACK INTO THE HOBBY --------
"I'll be done when it ain't fun". You can use that line if you want LOL! Thanks Robert!
U ain’t right, Dude. I love it! Good to see you back. Sorry for your loss too!
LOL! You are correct in me not being right LOL! Thanks for stopping by and for the encouragement my friend.
I normally don't care for "fantasy trains", but the Mad Max train tickles my funny bone 🤣(Especially the guy stuck on the 'people catcher' or whatever it is!)
Steve You definitely are the liveliest train guy I’ve seen here. Thanks for being You.
Good to see you again Steve, we've missed you.
Aww, I'm not worthy. Thanks PVRR!
Welcome Back Steve! You have been missed by the N Scale community.
So thrilled to see you back at it!! I love how you aren’t confined to the norms of the hobby and things are constantly in flux. It’s motivating and inspiring. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks John, will-do my friend!
Just enjoyed re-watching Videos 70, 71 and 72 because that's the stage I'm at, Many thanks.
Welcome back! Sorry for your loss. May 2023 be much brighter for you and yours
Love the apocalypse train! It's your railroad, have fun!
Thank you my friend! I am hoping 2023 is a great year for all of us. Stay strong, stay healthy, and love someone who doesn't deserve it...
Glad to see you back Steve! I keep going back watching your older videos they are so entertaining! So sorry for your loss and I hope 2023 will be better!
Thanks Melissa! Appreciate the encouragement!
The blinking is the pulse width modulation. The decoder turns them quickly on and off instead of reducing the voltage.
Yeah, I figured that with the shutter speed of the camera makes them look like they blink. Can't see it with the naked eye though. Thanks Mario!
I love these videos
Thanks! Now that I have something new, we should see more!
If you just like to watch the trains go by, that is absolutely fine, no shame in it at all.
If you've not seen it take a look at Everard Junction, the build is still in but he built it to watch the trains go by.
Oh I've been to that channel many times. Excellent videos and layout. Thanks Richard!
Great to see your are back. Looking forward to your future stuff. Thank you Steve for sharing.
Hi Justin! Thanks for the encouragement brother!
I just wanted to stop by and say that I miss your videos. They were and are an inspiration to me to keep working on my small layout.
Steve, some Black n White portraits of you would be EPIC. Normal guy + Black and White = EPIC
LOL! Thanks for the suggestion!
Hanging out for an update. You’re an inspiration to us mere mortals 😂
Steve, keep rolling down your railroad your way. Nice to see you again, loving your layout. Regards, Stephen.
Hi Stephen! Thanks as always for stopping by. Nice to "see" you!
I don’t know why but, I just love that “Mad Max” style train! Very original and, unique! Just plain cool!
Your train reminds me of a Mad Maxx kind of train. Glad to see that your not dead, Brother !
Yep the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. LOL! Thanks Jeff!
On my top deck I have “switching ops” you have to stand or sit on bar stool to run it. It’s very complicated but fun for an advanced railroader. On my bottom deck you sit on a garage stool and I have 2 mainline loops that you “just sit and watch the trains run”. I built the bottom for me and my 4 kids ages 2-9. It was really hard at first to build in a 20x15 foot space two loops with almost no sidings. We enjoy listening to 60s music and the kids honk the horn at all the crossings and we just play trains or watch them run. On Xmas day we were in there for 6 hours straight alone. Best decision I ever made. Been in n scale 27 years. And I have a TH-cam channel documenting layout and scenery construction. Thanks Steve I like all the layouts you built but this is the best to date -Tyler
Good to see you. All the model railroad purist have just been shaken to the core!!! Great job.
Loving the apocalypse train. Super cool build
good to see you again, Steve
Thank you, my friend!
I also kit basked a long flatcar using several kits with ten trucks underneath. Yes, it is hard to re-rail, but it is fun to watch it go through turnouts. I also kit-bashed a Atlas SD38 into a SD39. This was back when Atlas first come out with their new line. Looks cool and runs well. Only wished I would have bought more when they were cheap.
I've kit bashed lots of structures but this is my first train. Really dug it. Sounds like you enjoy it too. Thanks for sharing, and rail-on my friend!
Watching the trains just run is the best part. It's the pay off.
Yep, that's what I concluded. Wish I would have figured that out about 2 versions ago LOL! Thanks Geoffrey!
That train is awesome! You are the man.
Naw, I'm just drawn that way LOL! Thanks Davin!
Glad to see your back Steve. Have really missed your videos. Sorry for your loss. Hope you keep the videos coming, a real delight to see modeling by the regular guy. Merry Christmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year to you and the family
Hey Bigman! Thanks for the well wishes. Same to you and yours from the 1st Lady and me!
That is one awesome apocalyptic train you have mashed together there. Absolutely love it
Hey Bruce! Thanks for that brother. I had a great time building it. That loco though took a lot of time. That's the 3rd version :( Thanks for watching!
Glad you’re back enjoy watching your videos
Thanks a ton for watching David!
Good to see you again. I will be looking forward to seeing the subway videos.
Copy that! Appreciate the encouragement, my friend!
Love the Mad Max loco!!! Awesome!
Thanks Dean!!!
Hi Steve, great to see you back and so sorry to hear of you’re loss. Always good to run trains and I am sure we will all still be here when you are!! All the very best from UK and Happy New Year to you and yours..Chris
ALways happy to hear from the UK! Have a Happy New Year my friend!
The blinking is caused by frame refresh rate is what someone told me. Kinda like the horizontal lines you would see running up a tv screen in the background of news program in the early 2000’s
Yeah, that's kinda what I figured. Frankly, it would be cool if that was able to be seen with the naked eye. Rail-on, Jeff!
A Great 'Mad Max' train.
Thanks Geoff!
Now that is fantastic,love what you did with parts and pieces, and happy to see you back on showing your layout ,idea’s,and fun things you have done ,hope to see your layout again and keep up the fantastic work
Thanks a ton, Stanley and will-do!
Yeah, good to see you. Mad Max train is coolest ever. Looking forward to more fun.
Thanks Craig! More is definitely coming up!
Cool creation. The right way is the way that works for you.
Thanks, Randy! And I couldn't agree more. That is the core principle this channel was founded on. Rail-on brother!
@@ItsMyRailroad I have already used many of your tips with great success. Keep on having fun running trains. 👍
What fun, love your videos and your enthusiasm. The new train is fantastic. Keep dreaming, you're bringing new life to the hobby.
Glad you're back. this place is emptier without you.
Hi Alan! Thanks for that encouragement buddy!
@@ItsMyRailroad Thanks for replying, I look out for your videos. Sorry for the pressure!
Happy New Year, Steve, Thanks for sharing
Happy New Year to you Dave, and thanks!
Great to see you again Steve, sounds like a real good idea. Lets get started.....rail on...missed you
Thanks for hanging out brother! Rai-on!
Wow... way to go.... look forward to the transit addition... Happy New Year....
Definitely one of those kitbashing videos is needed! Hope all is well!
The old nickel on the track trick! Served us well as kids on the TCR and Slot tracks. Good to know here as well!
I'm so happy you're back and running big-ass trains! Hopefully there's more to come.
Holy Mad Max!!!
LOL! Right?! No actual people were injured during the construction or running of this train Bah!
Great to see you back! Love your videos. Sorry for your loss.
Good to see you back Steve. Looking forward to your subway project.
Thanks Michael! Appreciated brother!
Love the trains, welcome back and a Happy New Year 🎉
great to see ya back Pal look forward to the next vlog
Hi Alan! This should be a fun ride. Rail-on!
Of all the model train videos I watch, yours is the best. I am so detailed oriented I could never make a prototype rail road. I have your mind set with the hobby. Gotta have fun, and I love watching the trains. I think if I could watch more videos like your I would start another layout.
I'm glad my efforts have some meaning out there. I just love doing it! Thanks!
That train is totally wicked! The guy strapped to the front is perfect. Please include the making of sidebar, or videos on construction tips/ideas on this set up.
Man that is some awesome stuff. Definitely a staple in this hobby man. Keep it up with anything that makes u happy. We are always here for you.
Will do, and thanks!
I been watching all your videos from start to finish over and over again loving them... I'm still building my dioramas and collecting locomotives and rolling stock for now
Thanks for the support Steven! Rail-on!
Love the train, Steve!
Thank you my friend!
It is great to have you back Steve. We have missed you.
Hey Dean! Thanks for that brother! Now that I have a project to sink my teeth into, we should get some videos from it.
What a fantastic train. Whoo whoo. Hi from the UK.
A thumbs up from across the pond! Whoo whoo! Thanks, Keith!
Fantastic! I feel like getting out of bed & "de & re" constructing some of my trains & turning them into something fun, but I guess I'll wait till the sun comes up. thanks for the inspiration!
love the train.
Thanks Brett!
In episode 103 I believe the word you were searching for, to describe yourself when it comes to building your own structures is “gumption!”
Hi Mr. Steve: I like your videos a lot. If you're not constructing anything on the layout, no big deal. Most of us like watching your trains run. Maybe some yard operations on the layout. Thank you
That is badass.... Looks like a good portable moonshine train... One of the best trading things for the time it is modeled in. Very nice!!!!!
It may be moonshine. Of course at the back of the train you may have noticed some women selling some other goods as well. Shhhhh! It's a secret. Thanks James!
@@ItsMyRailroad More videos... I need to get mine going again.. Guess i need to take my own advice lol.
Hope you are well. Stay safe! Glad to see you back. I was concerned that the hobby was not going to be in your future
Funny, I have not been inspired to do a lot of work on the layout. I've just enjoyed watching the trains run. But THEN! It hit me! Subway!!!!! LOL! Thanks Chris!
This is incredible Steve!
Welcome back Steve ! Missed ya. Good to see the new apocalypse train.
Thank you, my friend! Rail-on!
Excellent work Steve! I'm a railroader and I know for a fact that my railroad there are certain sections of the track that close to the edge so it is very prototypical. Can't wait to see the new Subway layout!
Great to see you back, and that you've been enjoying just running trains! Your plan to add a modern light rail system underneath sounds like Westworld.
Well Westworld fits the vibe of the Crazy Train, eh? LOL! Thanks Chris!
Hey Steve, glad to see you back. Really missed your vids.
Thanks William!
congratulations
Thanks Ron!
Side by side mass trans rail system with auto current reversers and...wa-la...watch them run. Simulate elevators at the terminals with blinking lights and opening/closing doors. Just be sure to make the tunnels tall enough for the "Mad Max" train. Rail on my friend.
Mr C! Yeah, I was looking over the layout last night to see what had to be done to modify. Going to be a lot of work, but I'll spend the next few months building the "demo" version first :) Rail-on brother!
Good to see you back fella - Happy New Year!
Thanks, and likewise Jeff!
Glad you’re back Steve. I can’t wait for more great videos to come.
There are more coming now that I have something new to show everyone. Thanks for the encouragement, my friend
Great update! Love the layout and look forward to your new videos! -Mike
Hi Mike! Thanks for that buddy!
Very Impressive! Model Railroad
Also very sorry for your family loss.
I Model Railroad to help me cope with PTSD. Watching you show is inspiring and helpful. Stay Safe, Stay Well and keep up the Great Work!
Thank you my friend! I wish all the best on you and yours!
So glad to see you again my friend! Loved your last video running trains. Excited to see see your subway and future progress videos!
Awesome! Welcome back Steve.
You sir, are anything but regular. Talented with a great imagination and sense of humor. Loved the video and your Mad Max, post-apocalyptic train!
Glad to see you back
Thanks, brother!
Are you gonna do anymore vids or have you abandoned your fans?
Great to see your layout again. That is one crazy looking new train, I really got some Mad Max vibes from seeing it.
Cool update on the railroad, love to see that subway train up and running hopefully in the future. 🤟
Good to see you back doing regular guy stuff.
Thanks Mitchell!
Well good to see you back my friend Steve. Happy New Year
Happy new year to you my friend! Rail-on like a rock star in 2023!
Looks like you had a visit from Madd Maxx 🙂 Glad to see you back 🙂 Great job! 🙂
Yep! Me and Mel hung out over drinks one night and came up with this idea. Or, not really. LOL! Thanks, my friend!
Nice to see you back Steve. Sorry to hear about the loss of a family member. Hope your doing well. Good to see trains running too. hope you had a nice Christmas with your family. - Nicholas.
Hey Nicholas! It was a pretty good holiday season so far. Hope you're doing well at your end my friend!
Looks amazing
Thanks brother!
@@ItsMyRailroad your welcome sir love to wactch your videos and to see what your up to
Hi there
a little idea for you.
make a shelf you can pull out where you can keep your long trains. when it is hidden it is a hidden railway station for long trains, when you pull it out it can be a marshalling area for your long trains.
it does require you to have two down/up runs, one for hidden and one for when the shelf is pulled.
Johnny
PS - thanks for the DCC / DC explanation!! 😃
LOL! You never know who's watching...
DAAAANG, that post-apocalyptic train is sweet! Incredibly creative! I think it might be neat to have some kind of barracks car too, you don't want post-apocalyptic bandit posses to be able to steal those unspecified chemicals you're producing there without a fight ;)
Yeah, that's kind of what the cars in the back are for. That and risky business wink wink. Thanks Michael!
that "Blinking" is a combo of Frame Rate of video, and the LED tendency to flicker in AC power. It's not as noticable in real life, but it is on video of inexpensive LED
Yeah, that's what I finally determined. Whatever, it still looks cool to the naked eye! Thanks my friend!
Great to see you back brother, killer job on the mad Max train, looking forward to more updates
Rick B
Hey Rick! Love seeing your comments on any of my channels LOL! Rail-on old friend!
I love the Mad-Max-type features!
Good to see you again, Steve!!That apocalyptic train is very cool. Interesting direction you are about to take. I am looking forward to this. Stay safe!
Hi Larry! Great as always to see you in the comments. Appreciate the support and encouragement brother!
Good to see you back and always enjoy your videos, keep railing buddy
Hi Eric! Thanks for watching, appreciate the encouragement!
How big is your layout? From the videos it looks like it takes up about 1 1/2 bays if your garage
