Here is a quick update but mostly to show some movement on the layout. I am currently working on some switch lists to get into operations. I apologize for the shaky camera. I don't have a high enough tripod yet.
Appreciate you making this video because I did NOT know about Kadee shelf couplers, nor about the fantastic HobbyZone modular shelving systems. Also, your method for modeling piles of snow is ingenious, and I look forward to seeing how you weather them, and I also like how you closed out this video with a prototypical switching session with the camera at track level. Very immersive. Last, please consider enabling your TH-cam "Thanks" button so we can drop some appreciation into your tip jar.
Your switching layout-era so reminds me of where I grew up in Cleveland OH- right near a brick factory and an asphalt shingle factory. I’d go down there hop trains and take pictures with my 126 Kodak camera- once they let me ride on the engine while they were switching cars... ah good times!
Absolutely! Congrats on your great quality layout; but the prototypical slow running of your switcher engine was awesome and inspiring! Thank you for this artistic display using a small space to the optimal advantage...
Hi John, I just love this layout! Lots of good inspiration here. This is what a would probably model if I were to build one. I live in Chicago and there's lots of good switching industries here. I love these modern layouts.
Thanks. Since I don’t have the room for a continuous running layout I decided to model a switching layout. The industrial look always looked appealing to me seeing Trains in this urban setting.
John your switching layout is great. You have the eye for small details that you can incorporate into a layout that you will not get burnt out on working. Keep up the great work on it.
Looks great. Quick question....what scale are those 18 wheelers and other vehicles? I have a HO Scale layout as well and was thinking about buying realistic Johnny Lightning, M2 Machines or Hot wheels. Will those look too big? Any advice is appreciated
Thanks. My Vehicles are 1:87 HO scale. I believe hot wheels are a slightly larger scale. Some people use them which is perfectly fine. It all depends how realistic you would like to go.
I'm really behind in watching videos! Pressurized trailers are also called dry bulk trailers or Pneumatic Trailers. They usually haul frac sand, Portland Cement or any other heavy dense product, silica, pot ash, soda ash, limestone. There are also food grade Pneumatic trailers that haul flour, yeast, corn meal. Some plastic pellets are hauled in pneumatic trailers too. Love that toter, trailer and the lube truck! I want to know your secret to getting views to, just like Vinny! Like this video, you have 1,85?, subscribers and you have 8,600 views on this video??? How much for that toter, trailer and a lube truck, all red though? Red trucks! I love those Hobby organizers too! I've been thinking about buying a few for my work station at home! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Roy. If anything it means people watch but don’t subscribe. Lol it’s all good. I enjoy sharing with those who enjoy the hobby. I have some new trucks builds in the works. Thanks for the info on dry bulk trailers. I appreciate that.
I like the almost melted snow piles, but i think you need some gloss medium or something spread around them for puddles. At least in Maryland (where I last shoveled snow) there were always puddles around piles.
did you change the name of your channel?? or does some else have the same exact stuff as you??? i know i watched this and commented...i like your work station... all your vehicles are awesome... good job on the snow..nice layout...thx for sharing ...vinny
you gained another sub from me... Sub # 333 Keep up the awesome work and keep plugging away at the GP7. Hopefully the bugs will get sorted with it.. Keep up the Great work. Cheers From the Abbyville & Northern Railroad Jesse!
Thanks. The SW1200 started out as a Proto 2000 CNW model. I stripped the paint, added metal grills / detail parts, repainted and added a Tsunami 2 decoder. I built it a couple years ago before I started making videos. But I think I’ll make a video with all of the progress pictures. Thanks for the idea! BTW do you fly for Skywest or Envoy?
@@RailserveJohn Rectrix? Glad to see other aviators in the hobby. How do you power your beacon light? The triple flash looks great and I've only seen a rotating style so far.
With Jet Aviation. It’s a home based account. I have it powered off an AUX output from the Decoder. There are many flash options. Most new decoders have an extra function for this.
Yea they are getting pricy and hard to find. I have been collecting them for some time now buying them when I see them available. Some are re numbered doubles.

Incredible the quantity of details on your layout ..

Nice effects on the rolling stock. like the slow switch actions!!! thank you
Great idea for making snow. The yard and office is coming together nicely
I also enjoy switching. You've definitely got the sound and feel of it here.Love it!
Great layout, I’m starting a switching layout thanks for the inspiration
Love it! I’m a fan of small switching locomotives like your gp7 and sw1200. Love your layout! You do great work! Keep it up 😄
I used to work for RSS years ago in California
Amazing!...great work, SW1200 sounds great. Keep the video's coming!
Thanks bud!
Excellent layout John!Very well detailed.
John your switching layout is great. You have the eye for small details that you can incorporate into a layout that you will not get burnt out on working. Keep up the great work on it.
Kevin thanks for the comments. Yes the layout is small enough where you can get a lot of satisfaction out of small work. I am really enjoying it.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Love your attention to detail. Fantastic.

this is the first video of yours that I have seen, Love the work and instant subbed
Awesome! Thanks for the comment!

Yes I have been trying different techniques for the wet gravel. You can see it on some piles. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks Vinny. No I just changed my picture. You commented on my last video. Thanks for the comment!
Looking forward to seeing your layout progress. Keep up the good work.
Excellent video. Looking forward to more updates.
Very cool. I like the edge of your layout. Well done
Thank you!
Great job and a great video thanks for sharing with us

Thanks Jesse!
Awesome little layout you have goin on there
thank you!
Love this layout! Fantastic work!
Thanks Alex!
Where did you purchase the "BOBCAT" from and how much???
It’s a GHQ kit. It goes together very easy. I also added the Lonestar decals to it.
@@RailserveJohn Gotcha, thanks for the reply..
One observation, the snow looks too clean to be already plowed and piled up beside the roadways .
Thanks. I have since dirtied them up in my recent video. I was trying to find the right technique before weathering them all.
Man how much for the loco? Love it !
Might be for sale soon. I will post a video on some items for sale sometime soon
Wash the couplers with acetone or paint thinner it should free them up unless there plastic
yea they are plastic. I have recently replaced all of them with scale head Kadee's
Very nice
That is fantastic! Wow!
We bought 50 I phone 4 speakers for $1.00 each they sound great
They sound great and are perfect for tight spaces!
Was the beacon light something you added to your SW1200? If so, what make/model is it? Looks great.

@@RailserveJohn SKW. How about you? Who makes the beacon light? I'm interested in buying one for my switcher.
I am a Captain on a Challenger 350. 135. The beacon is made by Details west part number 106.

Is your track sitting on cork roadbed or just on a flat surface?
I laid down a full sheet of cork and added track/scenery on top to simulate the track at ground level.
@@RailserveJohn where did u find all those ADM tanks? Im having a hard time fi ding them under $40
Yea they are getting pricy and hard to find. I have been collecting them for some time now buying them when I see them available. Some are re numbered doubles.
I like this layout. Here's one more sub
muito bom bela maquete parabéns abraços Angelo Brasil
Thank you!
Hey buddy you interested in trading for that CN covered hopper
Maybe if I make another or something similar.
You have Facebook..
No I don’t. Was never really into social media. My last job was pretty strict on that.
@@RailserveJohn I'll see what I can find to trade for the CN hopper Buddy..what RR do you model
👍👍
U should expand your modeling train layout
I wish! I don’t have any room left or right of the layout. But trust me I have been itching to expand.
Make it bigger
