    Another great vid. That "you sound like a Salvation Army guy ringing the bell" , during the Ridge ad had me rolling. Steve's layout is top notch, being able to fit so much in that space.

    Hi DJ, Another great video my friend, thank you for sharing it. Yes Steve's Union Railroad is fantastic and hopefully someday when the moon and stars align, I might be able to attend one of his ops session. I met Steve a few years ago at the Greenberg show in Monroeville, great guy. On a side note, sending you an email with some info. Cheers, Rich S.

    Hi DJ. Nice to see you having some fun. I wanted to mention the West Island model RR club in Hicksville NY. They do have a website and the are some ok TH-cam video’s. Another great looking and operating RR. Living on LI I have heard of it but never seen it in person so 2weeks ago I made a call and I was invited down to see it and also operate during a secession. They handed my a cab and put me to work. Another Northeastern RR just like the Lehigh and Keystone. I think it’s deserving of Ins of your well done videos and worth the trip. Take a look maybe make a call, info is on the website. The West Island Model RR. You won’t be disappointed.

  • @rickchapman9232
    @rickchapman9232 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Let me ask you something,years ago when a train had to stop quickly,the engineer would apply the brakes and run the risk of derailment,but now when they go into emergency there is a good chance they will not derail. How does this happen? Can you tell us about it without violating any rules?

    • @djstrains
      @djstrains  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Risk is still there. an emergency application will drastically apply brakes to all cars. Problem is a loaded car will take longer to stop than an empty flat car, and the tension can cause derailment. But we are trained to apply MINIMIUM REDUCTION (5-8lbs) first, which gets all cars on same page, and THEN go to emergency application.

  • @mikesmith6838
    @mikesmith6838 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The layout is good, no doubt; but everything could be improved (engines, cars and buildings) from much more weathering. Many of the rolling stock look right of of the box; as in, they look like model cars, not actual cars.
