G'day there from New Zealand. I've been watching your channel since you started it and have enjoyed your journey thus far. What I found particularly interesting in this clip is your approach to identifying, and understanding, the various elements required for the process of transferring syrup from rail cars to the trucks. This is a key element of an O scale layout I intend to construct based on an actual location in Chicago whic still has corn syrup delivered by rail so the detail you have provided here is invaluable. I also like the small details you include like the people, opening gates, collision protection standoffs etc. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work. BRgads B
Great to have a Kiwi watching the channel! Glad you find the videos and this most recent one useful. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions!
Nice simple facility with just the right amount of detail…you reminded me I need to redo my loading / unloading hoses on mine using your technique
Thanks Anthony! Post what you do with your loading facility.
@@HartfordWhaler I did a short vid a year ago of how I constructed it (corn products industry) but like most of my industries I get them to point to present on the layout and slowly mod / change them as time permits…there will be some silo and added piping changes since I neglected the steam piping…
I’ll go look for that video. Thanks!
Anthony, shoot me your contact info so I can send you a layout logo sticker:

Looks great! I think a Corn Syrup transload facility is something more modelers should look to for a 1-3 car (and possibly more, space permitting) small industry on a (small) layout. Nice work!
Thank you! And thanks for watching. Agree, you could even have 2 parallel tracks to allow for more cars.
That looks great, Paul. But all those pipes and tankers 🤔 I can't help thinking you're secretly distributing Dylington Custard 😁 ...cheers James 🙂👍
We sell the corn syrup to Dylington Custard!
@@HartfordWhaler that must be a special ingredient for you guys over there 😁, I might have to invest in some of those Walthers pipes myself 🙂👍
Corn syrup is in everything! In the UK too. Cheaper than sugar.
@@HartfordWhaler We'd better look into getting some storage for it then 😁👍
Good video! Thanks for the walk through!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Very nice... I use the same buildings and do one thing different. I use small Lego blocks in each corner to register the building. If you can see inside of the building I will make the blocks longer and make them look like an unloading dock. This makes replacing the buildings faster and very efficiant. because you can see inside I would put the same piping as you have outside with maybe some junk around on the floor. I'm lucky as my oldest son works for a company that builds these buildings in rail road yards and other facilities. He has tons of pictures inside yards where most people can not get. I have a real picture of a facility somewhat like this and you need a small office area just inside the little door for the foreman to be in and that is the room that the small AC unit cools. Looking in the end of the building where you have the 2 men and the fork lift, this needs some inside junk to make it look busy. Maybe some empty pallets stacked up and some barrels setting around. I really like your road and the details you have in it... Check out the Boomer Diorama site for a great tutorial on weathering and all sorts of stuff. He is a great teacher...
Thanks for the great tips! Detailing the interior is on my to do list. Would love to see pics of the interiors if you ever post them or can email them (my email is on the community tab and in my profile.) Good idea on the Lego blocks. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Nice!
Thank you!
Your videos are a good tool for someone working on the NMRA achievement program.
That’s a nice compliment, thanks!…and I’m not even an NMRA member.
great stuff paul !!! btw, you will not have to keep moving your delivery cars back and forth very often as the black hoses are used for this. also, btw, adm would do it this way so they would not have to keep paying the p&w rr switching money !! i have friends that work at an ice cream plant and they do it this way perpetually !!! just fyi stuff for you !!! nice work, paul !!! i am pretty sure you knew this but maybe some viewers don't !!!
True. But I have to find all the switching opportunities I can! Appreciate the comments and thanks for watching!
@@HartfordWhaler and switching IS fun !!! we have emailed before... i am the guy that was at the very last sabres game in the old war memorial auditorium up in buffalo 50 minutes away ( about 3 pre-game beers !!! safely of course !!!) and that game was against the hartford whalers. what a game !!! i believe i told you, an all out donnybrook where the 2 goalies met at mid ice and went at it just like ALL the rest of the players from both sides !!! the sabres gave us clear plastic ticket holders which i still have on my shelf here in my house. please keep the videos coming paul....boy, hockey sure has changed !! the old adams and patrick division rivalries are not what they used to be... broad street bullies/dave schultz/jim schoenfeld/jerry korab/stan jonathan.. all players who would rather die than lose !!! oh yes, danny gare as well. it just ain't as much fun as it was then. well, thats life !!! blessings to you, paul our friend !!!
@@dennisarmes3473 Thanks for mentioning that. I definitely remember that conversation. Now I’ll remember the name associated with the conversation. Glad you’re still watching the channel. Hope all is well.
@@HartfordWhaler all is well here.... retired, working on the layout, ice cold beer with medium hot wings, walleye fishing out on lake erie and just goofing off !!! not too bad for an old fart !!! keep 'em rollin', whaler !!!
Is there an expiration date on that corn syrup…..lol
It doesn’t expire.
Hey Paul, what year were derailers introduced????
No idea.
Aw man, you ruined it for me. I could have sworn that piping ran under the concrete!!!!! Good Job. I do like the modular concept if nothing else for maintenance……. I like custards
Yeah whenever I glue something down I end up having to tear it up.
