@@boomerdiorama actually... what I really meant was: One can’t tell yours are 1:87 !!!!! And switching between the two in your video is ONLY ‘given away’ by the individual leaves on the shrubbery moving in the breeze on the ‘real’ shots! But knowing you (and your realism) ... You’ll soon have fans blowing on your landscapes !! Looking forward to your ‘summer season’ !!!!!!!
@@johnpetrovitz935 Lol . . . O.K. John . . . now I got yah! Thank You for explaining that. I think the overall illusion is created by painting everything with the same "set" of colors spread around here-and-there, in the same manner as the rolling stock, locomotives etc. Flat Paintings are effective this way, when an artist learns to move the same colors throughout the whole canvas. eg. If the (default) static grass is "light green," I will go ahead and repaint the static grass (with airbrush) a shade of "light green" etc. Absolutely everything gets a very thin re-paint. Cheers ~ Boomer.
@@boomerdiorama An ‘eye for color’ is truely an artist’s greatest gift. And you, sir, are an excellent artist. Thanks for all the many tips you’ve shared with us!
Oh wow, the live shot inserts are remarkable, and the realism of the details on your layout are mind blowing! How did you weather the rails to get that absolutely prototypical weathered look? It's all so amazing! Another great session👍👍
Top of the heap right here, yes sir . . . model railroading at it finest . . . can't wait for the next series this summer . . . while I'm thinking about it here, the reason you could smell the carbon from the burnt exhaust fumes was number three cylinder needs its injector popped a couple hundred pounds higher to bring it into intune with its buddies lol lol hard to find good mechanics these days, rush'm in rush'm back out with the locomotive shortage e got these days but locomotives sitting around everywhere, don't get me to lying, I'm just an adventurous arm chair recliner optimist with the glass half full approach reasoning attack on life. I'll finally be starting my shelf layout building in a few months. Waiting on some things to help make the building process not so strenuous on the eye holes so I can see what and where I'm destructing ☺
The sound of the prototype is remarkable over the model. But I can live with the sound quality I have now in my ESU Loksound equipped locomotives. They sound better live (on the layout) than they do recorded (in video) anyway. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Thanks, watched while enjoyed my AM coffee fix. I was working on some trees(HO) and checked to see if you had posted .. yes .. he did hehe. Remember they didn't weld smaller rail, so that means joints and joint plates. Excuse the terms; jewelers saw is smallest cut I could find, I only cut top 1/3, as the plates cover the rest and this allows me to dip slightly at the joint. I make my plates, using regular paper(I lightly spray with Krylon matte, adds body and paunch wheel for bolts.) I do all the work before cutting, including Tack-It on the backside; then cut into strips(long ways) and then finale cuts between bolts. :) Happy joints. Keep them(videos) coming.
Georgeeus, love seeing those locos creep,like that.Just stunning.I was thinking that rail looks like code 70.So its code 83,I takeit,then? Wow factor 10
Yes. I wish I used Code 70 in hindsight. Painting, ballasting (no cork), and adding grass(weeds), helps to hide the larger profile of the rail in the end. Cheers.
So cool Boomer. In anticipation of my upcoming N Scale layout, I have purchased a handful of Atlas Geeps with Loksound 5 and several non sound with Lokpilot. In N scale Atlas is it. Love them and the loksound is just as impressive in N scale. Thanks Boomer.
Beautiful layout and really fun operating session to watch. I like how you have some of the operations blocked by some rail cars, just like real life :) Camera angles are fantastic. I model the mid 1990s so at least don't need to worry about the silly reflective markings now required.
Thank You. I appreciate that. The period I model is around 2010, so I do have some reflective tape I might add to some of the cars later on. Cheers. ~ Boomer.
So, I've been hanging onto the idea of a continuous loop because I want to watch trains run. After watching your vids makes me think of a "u" shaped shelf with a turntable at each end. I model HOn3 d.r.g.w.
I used to model On3 with a shelf (logger) theme layout. The prototype never ran in loops. They run point-to-point like all railroads do. They had turntable and Wye to reverse. But each to his or her own in the end. Cheers.
Love waking up to one of your operations with coffee.. Always puts me in a good mood!! I'm finally gathering up all (most) of the peices I need to start my layout. 6.5 feet x 16" is the best I can do with what I have, with around 2 feet of staging. Can you tell me where you found those little dumpsters??
Sounds good! That would give you 8.5 feet. Plenty of room for condensed operations. I scratch built the dumpsters. I just measured one up locally with a few photos to work from and built up some boxes with Evergreen .015" plastic. You can see them here both painted and unpainted: th-cam.com/video/kzAgmW6uykE/w-d-xo.html
@@boomerdiorama I'm trying my best lol, I'm much more mechanical minded as opposed to being creative and artistic like yourself. I'm an electrician by trade, so I've also planned out some epic lighting for night ops. And I broke down and ordered an airbrush kit after your center beam tutorial. Thanks and looking forward to your next vid!!
My friend has an HO layout. He uses a 3 track 9 car ferry as staging. He has 6 ferry decks (6x9=54 cars) that he stores below the ferry landing to store the "staging ferry decks". He rotates through the 6 ferry decks in order so his ops program know what the staged consist is. He has a 3 track yard next to the ferry landing to hold and sort the cars as they come off the ferry. The 3 yard tracks and the ferry deck tracks all terminate in an end bumper with a coupler attached so they hold the cars until released. He has never had a car come off the ferry when moving the deck in and out of storage because of the bumper coupler. He store 3 ferry decks below the ferry landing and 3 below the 3 track yard beside the ferry landing. The storage shelf is a inch deeper than the ferry deck. When a ferry deck is put in storage, the next deck is pulled out a inch to indicate it is next. The decks are numbered as well as their storage locations. His Ops program is setup to take the 9 cars from the ferry, put them in the 3 track yard, sort them into a specific consist order. Deliver them to the main yard (2 tracks, 1 inbound, 1 outbound). The road engine takes the 9 cars out as a train to switch the industries and pickup 9 cars which will be loaded on to the next ferry. Meanwhile the 9 cars on the Main inbound track are loaded back onto the ferry deck and it leaves for storage.
@@rexroad9917 That sounds really cool. I know the railroad I model (SRY) has a Ferry barge system they service as well. It's a great subject to model for sure. Cheers.
It's funny you should mention the rail size as I have often thought the only improvement to this layout would be to drop back to a Code 70 in spots. The overall look is just fantastic. I notice that ATSF flat has friction bearing trucks.
These kind of anomalies occur when good planning is absent. If I build another one I'll definitely include Code 70 where appropriate. I tried to hide some of it with grass and weeds, etc. Yes, the ATSF is an older car by Tangent. Cheers.

hay Boomer , just wondering how does the blue dumpster at the fence ever get dumped? I have been trying to figure that out for a while now I don't see a road or drive way ? thanks for all your willing to share all your talent its great.
Everything is compressed on this layout. There is a swing gate there. Presumably the dumpster is on wheels or coasters. The driver has to wheel it out down the walkway behind the fence to the waiting truck. I see this all the time at work where trucks have no access. They have to hand-bomb the dumpster to the forks on the truck out of view. Cheers. ~ Boomer.
Yes yes yes! I agree with you especially about the sounds and feel dcc gives you. .. also great prototype switchovers and could you take more and post them? Sorry but i havent been there for 16 years so its hard for me to
Just grey primer from Tremclad of all things. I sprayed the flat grey automotive primer over a white base. Then I over-sprayed, from three feet above, with flat black (some mist it with diluted India Ink) using a spray bottle. Just a light misting. Actually, Lance Mindheim has an excellent tutorial here: lancemindheim.com/about-us/roads/
Smokebox graphics makes the reflective stickers. I used to make my own with 3M reflective tape but recently purchased theirs. Are you on the Facebook group - Canadian Railway Modellers?
Yes Philip. I have some "Smokebox" reflective stickers . . . Thank You for that. No, I'm not on Facebook (Canadian Railway Modelers).

I notice the indicator plate on the turnout does not move when the turnout is switched. Question: how do you throw the turnouts? Have you considered using a servo to rotate the indicator plate when the switch is thrown? What brand and type of turnout are you using?
Thank You for commenting. When I began this particular layout I had nothing really to start with so I scrounged up stuff and built everything from scratch for the most part. The switch stands are non-functional. I have servos but I won't be installing them on this layout. I like to hand throw from the facia - they are 100% reliable and easy this way. I scratch-built all the turnouts. Here is a short clip on the turnout controls I also scratch built: th-cam.com/video/FLz1sBrhHJ0/w-d-xo.html Cheers. - Boomer.
Hello Boomer,what are your thoughts on the "soundcar" decoders you can put inside your rolling stock,I'd love to get some as I get closer to getting my layout up,they say about every 5th or 6th car but up to operator of course,absolutely love your stuff,always looking forward to the next,but also rewatch the previous ones as👍💯👍 well
If you are into that kind of feature they would be cool. Although you would need decent speakers installed like this: th-cam.com/video/ZKd6e9f5Aoo/w-d-xo.html
I noticed on a video clip that one unit sports some orange components on the left side of the cab. Never seen such equipment before. AC for the cab maybe? Any idea of what it could be! I don't know about diesel smell!!!
Great question. Not really sure. They could be speakers for yard switching alerts, since that locomotive is dedicated to classification duty . . . maybe someone else knows better than I. Cheers.

Yes. I would like to do two actually. I am waiting for the Rapido SW1200 (undec release) this fall. The "900" series EMD switchers for SRY are actually SW900RS switchers. They are very similar to SW1200. The ones they have now have completely different light bezels, etc. I want one as close as I can get it. Cheers.
