Realistic Model Railroad Operations: Working Seneca Foods Part 3

Finishing up at Seneca Foods; More interaction with the conductor; Back to the yard.
Plus another look at the Reverser Swap function on the ProtoThrottle - simulating the crew climbing out of one loco and getting in the cab of the other one.

Excellent work.

Thank you David, I appreciate it!

Another great operating session! It's nice at this speed to pick up the details of everything. I love the power meter towards the beginning of the video.

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

Thanks! Yes, good point. No sense adding all those details if they go by so fast you can't see them lol. Oh that meter on the power pole at the crossing? I saw that in a prototype photo, that whole crossing scene is based on that photo. I guess the meter is for the power for the crossing signals. Then there's a wooden battery box for backup power *I think*. Thanks for commenting, take care!

Very enjoyable video. I like the brakeman/conductor figure on the loco then on the lead car during the shove.!

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

Thanks, I just started playing around with the conductor, I like to show how much he has to move around. Lot of work.

[@Posttrip]

The videos are interesting and enjoyable. Looking forward to more.

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@dennisarmes3473]

great series, bill !!! i am learning from you.... i needed to go slower !!! even when just switching to kill some time, i run engines way too fast !! watching you creep along prototypically gave me a good slap to the head, which i needed !!! denny

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

Thanks Denny! I think going too fast is a big mistake. That and coupling too hard, and driving the car back down the track 50 scale feet 😉. Take care - Bill.

[@HartfordWhaler]

Great ops video Bill!

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

Is locomotive number 1995 next Southern Railroad unit?

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

Yes, it's a Rapido B36-7 Southern unit. On my layout it's a B23-7, to match the prototype. Thanks for commenting!

If you would hold the camera still or use image stabilization, the video would be great.

[@cp368productions2]

Checked your channel to see if you do any better. Seems you don't have any content at all. Guess even with the shaky cam, he has better videos.

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

My biggest challenge is to hold the camera steady. And I use a gimbal, believe it or not. I'm making a change that should help. And I'm gonna Google how to hold a camera steady. I'm at the point where I can start to blame everything on my age 😎. Seriously though, this is exactly the kind of feedback I need. I really appreciate it. Take care - Bill.
