Minor Foam Delay For A Good Reason
I had to do some cleaning and straightening in the train room and adjacent room, before starting on the foam. Here’s what I found and the reason for the delay.

Test Run On The New Curves

I just finished installing the new curves, to get rid of the O54 in the middle main, mixing O96 and O72 in the outer main and eliminating the straight pieces in the two outer mains.

I couldn’t get my editing software to combine and download these as one. I have some modifications that I did after I shot this video and I’ll post a quick updated update, a bit later.
A Quick Update On The New Main
Просмотров 38814 дней назад
I finally got the third main running. I put almost all of the accessories on the shelves. I’m getting the rest of my O27 track out and cleaned up in a few days. Foam, proper wiring and scenery will start the first week or so of November. Enjoy.
Track Update

I completed the inside third main. Menard’s O72 and O54 hybrid curves. Nothing is wired or fastened down, yet. I’ll get it running before I start lifting the track to add foam and then on to scenery. Hopefully, it will be somewhat ready for the Hanukkah/Christmas season.

A nice side-trip during York, to visit Thursday evening. Don Keiser is a fine host.
Southern Action

My AMT Southern Crescent cars with my MTH Rail King Southern Ps-4 Pacific and my 2356, with my southern-themed freight cars. I’ll see if I can find a few more cars and a Southern caboose at York.
A Little Tinplate Action

My 1931 Winner set and a Marx 999 with freight cars. A little goof-up at the end.

It was a nice day, so I figured that I would schlep down to Tuckahoe, to check out the Cape May Seashore Lines.

Shorter rail cars wouldn’t require such big curves. You have a lot of square feet there. Track does not appear fixed down to table top.
I see what you're saying. I like running the passenger trains, though and they look real good, going around big curves. A lot of the older, post-war steam engines are top-heavy and will tip over on the shorter curves, so this helps them to stay on the track, at slightly higher speeds.. The track is fixed, the table tops are not. I like and appreciate your comment. Either way, I like constant running and the bigger curves just make the trains look a bit better.
I've got the layout pretty much cleaned-up, with everything possible put in containers and on shelves. I'll probably get to the foam sometime this week. We'll see if I can get the slot cars running. I need to get the track connections a little tighter, without breaking any tabs. The track is going on 60 years old, so it can be a bit brittle. Stay tuned.
Awesome my Friend a lot going on love it new sub and bell thanks for posting.😊😊👍👍👍
Runs perfectly! Nice upgrades!👍
What are the dimentions of the whole layout? I'm interested in building something in my basement, but 0-72" is about as big as I can run...
It is a 24x18 L. The short side is 9 feet wide and the long, narrow end is 7'4". How wide do you plan to go?
Oh nice! When we went to see most of those the power had gone out oops😅
I like your running sessions
@@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars Thanks! I’m getting ready for foam and scenery. I’ll probably get my slot cars running in a few weeks. It should be fun.
@@johnandrus3901can’t wait for slot cars
Looking good! 🚂😎
Very cool! Great update vid! 🚂😎
Looking good so far. I love your long trains on wide curves, running flat out, like they're supposed to. Thanks for sharing.
Lots of track!
Looking good
Nice mustangs
Thanks. They're probably the best part of the video, along with the bikes. They are certainly fun to drive around, but are going into hibernation before the end of the month, along with the bikes.
How cool is that😂 Great video!
Yup. The AMTs are awesome! Brings back memories
I love trains on a wood table just the way it was done when we were kids. No decorations necessary just play trains fun.
That was a nice continuous run

Let’s run some spooky steamers!!
Happy Halloween! 🎃
Looking good, man! You have an awesome area to work with.
Very cool John !!!
@@RaysTrains Thanks, Ray. I’m getting a little better at doing this. Have a great Halloween 🎃
Love all of those tankers John!
Pretty cool! 👍
Awesome!😊
Very cool! 🚂😎
Wow, impressive layout.
Thanks. It is, as you can see, still a big work in progress. Foam, wiring and scenery are starting next week.
Nice job doing the holiday decorating.
You have a great area to work with, looking awesome. 😎👍
nice
Looks like a big layout, good for long trains.
Awesome update! 🚂😎
Looks sweet. Cant wait to see tgem run. Thank you for the update.
I mentioned all of the stickers that I have along the layout, except Art's. His is on the other side, by the Campbell's sign. The 3Rails/4Dads guys are just really cool and are fun to hang around with and talk to. They made for a fun York.
looking good
Thanks, much. I'll be starting the scenery sometime next month.
great video love the choo choo barn truck
Thanks for the video😀
Nice vid of the club John it was great to see you
Thanks, Ray. It was a great time hanging out with you and the rest of the crew. It really made for a very enjoyable show. Go Yankees!
No commentary, as there are a lot of conversations going on. Big Boy Trains brought his new, US Army Triplex to run. It was having 'technical difficulties' and I'm not sure if they were satisfactorily resolved.
Norfolk Satan. Awesome 👌
@@UncleSalty-nz5uk Thanks. It’s quite apropos.
Very cool Southern run! Great looking locos! 🚂😎
Look at that thing smoke! Mine has never smoked like that!
@@JimToynton MTH ProtoSmoke. It works quite well with the old style smoke units.
@@JimToynton Thanks for the subscription. More videos to come, after York.
Nice work
Great layout and trains. Thanks for sharing.
The wide curves are a must for those long passenger cars so they don’t hang out beyond the track. But that requires a lot more real-estate as in a entire basement as shown.😊 the inside loop wouldn’t look as good with same trains.
very nice
They are some really fast moving trains! WOW!!👍
Yes, they are. That old Winner set runs fast on very little voltage. It weighs very little and It’s hard to keep on the track with standard curves. The original transformer is housed in a small, lithographed building and is basically on/off. It’s pretty nice for being 93 years old, though.
@@johnandrus3901 That is very impressive!
I was pointing the camera down, while I was looking for the cars and I didn’t see them right by the transformer. Oy! The Winner set was only running on about 9 volts. It moves right along, for sure. A fun run.
I have those same NYC passenger cars. Just subbed
@@TheCreativeMind Thanks for the comment and the sub. The AMT cars are better than the 2500 series Lionel cars, for sure. I buy them, whenever I see them.
Nice video tour John. 👍🏻
