I remember really wanting an Athearn GP9 with that C of G paint scheme in my youth back in the early 1960s. There was just something about it that got me. After I grew up and could afford to actually buy locos I had forgotten about my old obsession and went for NKP black and yellow, probably because the NKP ran near my childhood home. Cheers from Wisconsin!
Love the new heritage unit Tim. Would really like to see all of them Mu'd together one time. As for your creature in the woods, looked more like one of our snipers in a ghillie suit tromping around in the woods. Or is it what railfans need to do these days to stay one step ahead of the railroad cops? As always, you do not fail to amaze my friend!
Thanks! It might be possible to have them together at some point but I’ll need to redo the speed table on the SCL and Southern unit first to match the CG. I actually have plans to create two separate pools of power. One will be a Westend pool based out of Gadsden and one will be a Central pool based out of Macon. The Westend pool will handle Gadsden yard and the line west to Birmingham. It will have a lower top speed than the Macon pool. I’ll go over that in a video next year. Tim
I really love the paint job you did on your heritage unit Tim. I've meant to mention this in past, but I'm really impressed at your painstaking efforts have such a smooth operation with all of your switches. I know that is not always the easiest thing to accomplish. Keep up the excellent work. Look forward to the next installment.
Awesome update sir, I always like the high nose locomotives. Br pretty cool to do a Seaboard Central patch job on a CSX road Slug set. The GP40-2 and a GP30 or GP35 slug. That would be a cool patch job set
Thanks! I run slug sets at work with a GP40-2 mother mated with a slug. It may be a good idea on paper but they are some of the most unreliable set ups on the railroad. Too much wiring which ends up with some kind of failure, always. But the SC did accumulate some rebuilt GP30s and GP35s during 1990 so who knows, you might end up seeing one in the future. :)
Nice Update as usual. As far as what's back there where I wanted to camp I don't know. May have to carry something just in case I tried to see , but It could be a Bear , Sasquatch or an Ent from Lord of the Rings LOL ... Can't wait for the answer.
Hi Tim! Love that heritage unit! Love that abandoned trackage by that abandoned industry. Your layout is really awesome. Looking forward to seeing your future updates!
Tim I love the Heritage GP 38, I have many GP 40, 15, 35, etc. I couldn't see it, but I have a good guess of what it is in the woods,😅 I am sure he exists somewhere. Great video.
I like the new heritage locomotive and the meaning behind the 2000 road number. The abandoned spur looks great and shows the history of the line. Looking forward to the option B video. It has to be "Big Foot", but I was not sure exactly where he was, maybe to the right of the deer. -Tom
The COG paint looks great! One of the trackside details that stands out are the scrap tie piles. You should highlight those little details in future videos. Great job, again!
The Timothy B looks GREAT!!! So do the new cement hoppers and ballast work. I think my favorite recent piece of the layout is the abandoned industry spur. And I do believe you've got a 'squatch in those woods!
People say the scary thing that lives in the woods is Timothy B. Garland. I don't think he's really scary, though -- he seems fine from three feet away. The railroad named a locomotive after him and they leave it unlocked so he can drive it around the yard at night.
@@SeaboardCentralmaybe it could be Bigfoot or it could be a “Dogman,” a criptid with canine features that has the ability to walk on its hind legs but also reported to be on all fours when running (some of the time). Sasquatch and Dogmen don’t get along and have had wars over territory although Sasquatch yield was to the more aggressive Dogmen. These crypids have been known to manipulate doorhandles to try and access homes, unlocked car doors, unlocked windows (sometimes even moving an object to reach a SECOND STORY window), and are able to manipulate anything humans can as they are said to have hands or paws more akin to a raccoon. Most of these creatures are black in color with other fur tones being very rare like tan, white, or grey. People who have survived an encounter have said that there is an almost human level of malicious intelligence behind these criptid’s eyes. Most of the time they will scare you off so badly that people who love the outdoors commonly become terrified to the point they move to large population centers or always bring lots of friends and several firearms. This creature is also know to purposely go after pets to get people who live there in its territory to leave. Sometimes even attacking humans to get the point across (Missing 411 attributes missing persons cases to Dogmen instead of Bigfoot due to Bigfoot giving way to Dogmen in territory disputes and will even entirely vacate areas Dogmen move into in order to not tick the Dogmen off. And the Dogman’s lifepan is unknown but females and juveniles have be reported. I was able to find a website about five or more years ago that I can no longer find (made during the “dot com” boom of the mid to late 1990s as it was an HTTP website and not HTTPS). It had passenger down accounts of this creature going up to Native American villages and killing their dogs. When one was caught and killed they said “IT SCREAMED LIKE A MAN.”
I wish. It would be awesome if it was. I created this freelance railroad back in 1990 after being inspired by other popular freelanced model railroads at the time.
Great video, sound is over the top awesome!
Thanks!
Great Video, good job on the Pond, water looks great
Thanks! I did a whole series on that pond build if you haven’t seen it.
Love, love, love that Central of Georgia paint scheme. Great job on the CMEX hoppers.
Thanks John!
Great story Tim about you and the unit! Thanks for making the videos.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful locomotives and enjoying watching love the layout awesome Seaboard Central 👍😃😎♥️ AWESOME VIDEO SIR LOVE IT
Thanks very much!
The Central of Georgia colors look great!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Big Foot for the win!
You never know. 😁
Love the locomotive Tim! Really nice touch to add to your layout. Look forward to the next episode you are planning on doing!
Thanks! Stay tuned!
Spectacular unit! Looking forward to the next update video!
Thank you!
Nice locomotive. The paint job looks great.
Thank you!
Love the Heritage unit. It looks fantastic.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
The opening scene is great👍 Your Railroad is really coming along well
Thanks!
Looking good Tim, love the new engine. I am looking forward to the Aug 16 video. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. Ken
Thanks Ken! Stay tuned!
Tim I love your Heritage unit that you created. Good job on it
Thanks!
Great update Tim! Really like the Central of Georgia heritage unit. My date is 2/4/2004. Looks like I need to get myself a heritage loco also.😊
Thanks! I know April 2030 I’ll be full time on the SC. Can’t wait!

It definitely is a great paint scheme. The NS CofG heritage unit is one of my favorites and I’ve had a chance to run it a couple of times. Cheers!
nice work on the 2000 , and thanks for a cool up date Tim .
Thanks!
All sounds great Tim! Looking forward to the next video! Awesome video sir and new heritage unit! - Gary
Thanks Gary!
Thanks Gary!
Looking fwd
Thanks!
Enjoyed it.

Heritage unit looks great. Bigfoot is the hide and seek champion of the world.
Thanks! Yes he is.

I didn't see "him" but I suspect Bigfoot is living in those woods! Excellent paint/decal/weathering work!
Thanks!

Excellent update as always. BIG THUMBS UP on the re-painted "2000" heritage unit.
Thanks! I appreciate it!

Thanks Calvin! Only a few have seen some dark creature behind the trees. 😁
2000 looks good, Tim! And the abandoned spur is really nicely done. As always, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! More to come. Stay tuned!
Hi Tim! Love that heritage unit!
Love that abandoned trackage by that abandoned industry.
Your layout is really awesome.
Looking forward to seeing your future updates!
Thank you very much! My plan is to get a lot more done during August so wish me luck.
I love that TAG unit.
Thanks!
@SeaboardCentral You're welcome, Tim. That original paint scheme was pretty cool too!
The COG paint scheme looks great. How about a video showing how you weathered the cement cars, I like the details.
Thanks! I’ll definitely do more weathering videos in the future. If you haven’t seen them I have a few on the channel.
Nice August Update
Thanks!
I voted for option B, but I definitely would still like to see the history video in the future! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Stay tuned. Option B video will come out in two weeks!
Tim, really cool history and plans for 2000. Truly a treasure on the railroad. Look forward to the history of the railroad coming maybe in October.
Thanks Mike!
The heritage unit is spectacular! Now let’s see what we can see in the woods! Could it be a mountain lion? 😃 Great job as always 👍
Thanks! Who knows what’s lurking back there? 😂
That's so cool
Thanks!
Dude, you just keep coming up with great paint scheme ideas. This could be a real-life short line with the right vision.
Thanks! It’s my way of thinking if I was in charge of a real railroad and the way I’d choose to run it.
@@SeaboardCentral EXACTLY. I’d love to buy this one in northeast Georgia but I need to win the lottery first.
Tim I love the Heritage GP 38, I have many GP 40, 15, 35, etc. I couldn't see it, but I have a good guess of what it is in the woods,😅 I am sure he exists somewhere. Great video.
Thanks! One day I may have to point it out.
🤣🤣@@SeaboardCentral

Thanks Tom! You definitely have to look hard to spot him.
Great job my friend. Answer to the quiz, either a black panther or a skunk ape. Let me know. Take care and be safe.
Thanks! Option B
The COG paint looks great! One of the trackside details that stands out are the scrap tie piles. You should highlight those little details in future videos. Great job, again!
Thanks!
@@SeaboardCentral yes sir!
I saw the two dear. But I didn't see Bigfoot. That's why he's the hide and seek champion. He didn't see me either.
😂 yep he definitely is.
The Timothy B looks GREAT!!! So do the new cement hoppers and ballast work. I think my favorite recent piece of the layout is the abandoned industry spur. And I do believe you've got a 'squatch in those woods!
Thanks! Probably a squatter squatch. 😂
I see a big monster by The back ready to get the deer. Looks like a dinosaur face but scary lol
Lol

😂😂😂
you did a rea nice job on that unit. Looks and sounds great. is that a swamp thing hiding in the trees?
Thanks! There’s something back there for sure.
👍🚂🚞🚞🚞✌
😁
I want to see you do another video totally using the pro throttle
I can make it happen! Always love to show how I use mine.
I see a dark shadow to the left of the large pine tree heading towards the yard office.
Hot or cold?
Definitely a dark shadow and definitely next to a tree.
So that's where Ralph moved to, I was wondering.
Or Waldo. 😁
the hide and seek champion of the entire world???... well that's easy, the loch ness monster
You got me there
Is the hide and seek champ Bigfoot maybe?
Could be?!
I hi I seen you afore walking on the engine you guys used for
😀
South Central GA has Squatch?😮
They might be lurking anywhere. You never know. 😂
😂
I always wanted to be a engineer but now have a family and in my mid 30s lol so ya I think it’s little to late
I hired out at 26 and was an engineer by 30. It’s a hard life in the beginning trying to raise a family because your on call.
Brand and color for the CG blue? Thanks.
Yes. CG used B&O blue and C&O gray.
Are you still using the Pro Throttle?
Oh yeah! Every time I move a train I’m using it. Love it.
It's bigfoot
Could be. :)

option B
Option B it is
Is Seaboard Central a real RR?
I wish. It would be awesome if it was. I created this freelance railroad back in 1990 after being inspired by other popular freelanced model railroads at the time.
