Mr. Everett was a fabulous wonderful man with a great knowledge of Trolley History.

I would pay money to learn how to build from him.

Cool train

A fitting tribute to someone who obviously adored his work.....

Amazing

Great model builder and outstanding model railroad

Absolutely awesome work

Unbelievable. I am so amazed and moved that I don't know what else to say.

What an awesome trolley layout! Way to fuel my imagination! Or better yet, charge up! Thank you!

I saw an article in model railroader magazine in which there was a real estate companies that specialize in dealing with houses that had fantastic model railroads in them that could not be moved and they were considered a very valuable asset to the house. One guy saw the layout in the basement of a house for sale and she told his wife if you like the upstairs I like to downstairs and we will buy this house.

I miss the Civil War reenactment there. It was great to see that between visiting the trains.

Dining service and restrooms on board the streetcars? Never seen that before! If only we had seen the benefits of rail in urban and suburban areas and modernized our systems over the years rather than just tearing them down...

When I was still very new to model railroading in middle school, this lay was featured in MRR. I was astounded at the modeling skill displayed here. Upon further reading I learned all these trollies are scratch built models. Amazing.

Booyah, 👊😁👍🇺🇲

I love this coach! It's amazing Ward Kimball & his wife Betty found it and the beautiful locomotive and restored it.

Could another car connect to each other

The work of a true craftsman. Thanks for posting.

i saw this layout in model rr whilst the layout was still in santa barbra. still a ground breking rr in my mind.

What an amazing modeler. Trainman's hat's off to him!

Very well done, including the clarification about the wire. No wasted time, but things covered well.

What an amazing talent with gorgeous results of his many hours (years) of work. He should have been consulted and involved in building real trolley car lines.

Washingtonian here, glad to see a model of a YVT Master Unit is there. YVT had only three, all are back in Yakima, 2 can run, the third spent too much time in Snoqualmie.

It’s not fair that neither of these grizzly Flats Locomotives will ever run again

this is really neat and youtube was kind enough to play an add on this advertising a place to have birthday pizza parties 🙄. So cool that doing this also helps contribute to the success of the of the museum.

I live in Pomona CA and saw 1299 at fairplex thanks for showing me the inside of a old friend. I'm glad it's being taken care of. It's a beautiful railcar.

What if Emma Nevada can visit the Durango and Silverton and Cumbres and Toltec in the future if it can fit on their tracks?

This was a remarkable layout built by a remarkable man. Thanks for sharing it so it lives on for the enjoyment of others. Bill and I swapped letters for a number of years and during a 4 month Navy assignment in Ventura County in 2002, Bill graciously welcomed my family and I for several visits. I wrote an article on his layout for the now defunct Trolley Talk magazine around 2003. Thanks again for this video and may he and Betty Rest In Peace.

Thanks so much for this. Wonderful history.

LARy 665 is a gem. I love watching this vintage beauty in action. ☝️👀🙂

There's nothing like vintage trolley equipment. NOTHING!!! I ogle 'em the same way I ogle gorgeous women! They're AWESOME to look at. 😁👍😉

Sounds like pneumatic PCC

I got one for John. As a boy, we would walk to the local Sears stores. On the way there, we'd pass by the power station for the electricity supply for this part of the grid of the streetcars. It contained several dynamos which generated the 600 volts need for operating all the cars on that line. I remember smelling the odor of ozone and the sound of high pitched whine of the spinning generators. I think that there was four in there. Two working and two for backup. After seeing several videos with operating a PCC. Those cars could really pick up speed on a long run. Considering how much they weigh. How big and how much power how many motors are built in each car?

I just booked a drive on sp 3100

Nice video! In Europe PCC trams are still popular. Of course it's like Tatra T3, Konstal 105Na or other vehicles like this, but operating is really similar. Nice to see how it looks like in original PCC

the Emma Nevada is not the only one being restored. the chole is being restored as well I'm not to sure about that union pacific Mikado. i don't think the tracks will support its weight

is he still alive>

Magnificent models and layout ,God bless Bill Everett 🙏

Absolutely brilliant ! may God watch over you Mr. Everett's for you have inspired me and new generations of the love of scratch building magnificent models as you have done! you are my muse!

I miss Mr. Smatlac

The pre-made line-repair parts inside the car are fascinating. The wire rope is unraveled so that individual strands of wire can connect to insulators and loops. Can you imagine the guy in the shop who pre-made these assemblies? That was a job in itself. There are so many technical skills that have become lost in time. Preservation of artifacts is only part of the story. Preservation of skills and culture is important, also.

I think I’ve watched this great video over 100 times. Still a magnificent achievement, even if it only lives on in memory and in his fabulous models.

Thanks. Great video, John. Bill was a one-off as they say, a survivor from an earlier era in the hobby. Now even our buildings are all preassembled. The only problem with this approach is layouts start to look the same when everyone has the same distinctive movie theatre on theirs. Bill will be missed

前面は日本の私鉄の通勤電車みたいで車内は四季島みたいな豪華な客室のギャップが面白いです

Love seeing history preserved like that. Great to have an excellent example of one of the PE redcars!

Please some details about the trucks-bogies. These are especially interesting, yet there is no info on them to be found.
