HO Train Bridge Addition To the Layout - Dual Track
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 май 2023
- I've been meaning to replace a single track bridge on the layout for a while now since it's had structural issues. I also wanted to add a secondary track to allow for two separate lines of operation. I'm overall happy with the results.

Cat comes in. "hold on there big shot, I gotta make sure everything to code"
We love your channel because you are authentic.
Agree 100 percent
Ok ngl I thought authentic said autistic
I really appreciate hearing that, I try my best to be honest about when I make a mistake while working on something or when I'm happy with the results.
This is great fun to watch, partly because I have a cat that will probably be walking on my layout too once it's done!
Looks GREAT! Also glad you did this as it seems to have fixed the power issue some locos were having near the bridge.
Great video. Love what you done with the layout.
I love when the cat checked out the scenery of the layout
It's nerf cat
Not gonna lie. The moment your cat walked on the bridge, my heart sank😮. Good bridge and great addition to your layout!!!
Looks good. love it
Love your layout.
Would you do a layout tour? Would love to see the yard and engine terminals
Have a great day!!
Love your channel and your videos!
I'm sure your cat appreciates being called "foreman."
"My foreman just arrived to approve the site". That's CLASSIC!!! I feel so connected with you right now, as I have my supervisor Creamsicle checking the progress of my model work all the time!!!
Lmbo when your cat sauntered through your action…so funny at his non-chalant nature!
The foreman knows everything about destruction, and the cat Foreman is cool. As usual, You have done well, Harrison
Best boss anyone could ask for lol.
@@SMTMainlinevery cool cat foreman in my opinion
How much time did this project take you? Something like this seems like it would be a daunting task, but you just got in there and crushed it. Very cool video!
Probably three hours. There was obviously some work done off camera removing ballast and making small adjustments to things.
Some good changes to your track work. That’s the evolution of a layout due to your experiences and increasing knowledge. I really enjoyed watching you do this renovation. Thanks for sharing!
Between the advice I'm given and general experience things get slightly better each time.
❤hi i new to your channel i love your trains❤
it so good how the layout is SMT your awesome
thanks
Not sure if you are interested, but one of the CP Orange units is trailing nose out on CP 112. Should be by Smiths Falls on Monday
The foreman does a good job 😂
👍👍👍❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂
Cats on the layout 😂! My cats would be like Godzilla!
This will be a big change to the layout, but I have a feeling it's really going to make a big difference and most of all it may look better for the future!
I agree, hopefully it will all go together nicely.
Nice job with the bridge and switch replacement. I like how you re-use older pieces of structures and put them back into the layout!
I figure why not. They are still useable and way cheaper than buying new.
One time back in 1985, I needed a plate girder deck bridge, maybe 35 scale feet long.
I didn't want to wait for six months for my local hobby shop to build up an order for Walthers before I would see it, so I found a damaged Union Pacific gondola, and I painted it black, and built some abutments on each side, and I laid my tracks across what was once the bottom of that gondola, and ballasted it in place. I think I put some milepost numbers on the edge of it, and I had my bridge.
That's genius, I can see the advantage over waiting.
Cool layout. What is size dimensions of your layout? From the lamp to the mountain on the other side. I want to build a layout. But I am trying to determine a good length & width to go with.
Awesome to see the boss " nerf cat " came in to inspect the job . Great job
Love seeing moving rail lines to new routes. Thanks.
Honestly, although I do personally think that uk locomotives are more beautiful and better in design, you have helped me see american locomotives in a new light and see the beauty in their own style. I thank you.
Great track work! You'll love having two lines! I've got two on my layout and it is so much more action!😊
Exactly, I think it will make things far more exciting.
The foreman made sure everything passed inspection before final install !!
You should use or have a shop vac to recover the rocks and other items for reuse
As an old time railroader it is so refreshing to see a young man like you so active in the hobby. Great videos always.
Eres muy práctico, gracias por compartir tus experiencias, ¿que radio de curva usa en la maqueta?
Nice! Can't wait to see the finished layout and trains running
Hi SMT! Do you know any websites that have Amtrak P42's with Dc silent equipped. Anyways, great video!
I always enjoy your "working on the railroad" videos and how you explain what your doing and why your doing it!!!!
Thanks, I know they aren't the most often on the channel but I have fun doing them.
love to see layout updates!
Kitty Cat bridge tested!!!!
You are a productive man, dude! 😂
Any plans to redo the crossing near where the streetcar's line is?
Nice video Harrison
Hi there,I think the high sided single bridge should go and remove that track and put the high sided bridge where the single black bridge is from the freight yard, it will look a lot better,
Can you do a full layout tour
Looks pretty good!
W the layout is so nice!!!
these videos are awesome!
Great video. This was the first video I've watched that covered adjusting previously completed lines in a layout. It was nice to see that it would be easier than I originally thought.
Nice work! Thanks for sharing.
Good job! I’m sure your layout is going to look like a railroad empire
Wow! Love the quality assurance test by Nerf cat xD. Great change! Congrats!
Great work on the layout Harrison. Love your unboxing videos, fixing locomotives, and working on the layout.
Thanks.
Nicely done.
live streames with 2 mains will be great. glad you went this direction
Once both lines are going it will be far more easy to do two requests at one.

Your chairman seems to be pleased with your efforts. Or, not. He might have ulterior motives. You are, after all, a lower level employee. You’re the treat provider and source of entertainment.
That's true, I better watch out that he doesn't write me up for insubordination.
Great job. two track will be fun but with a cross over will be great
Also have the inner loop electrically separate from the outer loop
@@habbyguys I'm not sure if I should or not.
Those pesky rogue rail joiners...
Superb track laying Harrison, and a bridge that's built to withstand any tornado or hurricane known to cat. Even the foreman, Nerf Cat, approves.
Nice that you chose the BNSF Dash 9 for the test run.
Thanks for sharing. 👍🐾👍
Thanks, I built this one to last. Once the rest of it is built it should be a time.
I love these videos when he add something new to the layout
Very cool 10\10👌
Nice bridge
Nice work Harrison cant wait until you have it all work out.
Snap Switches or #4s? (the turnouts that 'wore out')
#4s. The plastic frogs wear down after about 10 years of use unfortunately
That was a cat scan.
Hey smt mainlines do you still have that creepy 1950s steam locomotive that you got from a store from a few day’s ago can you make a restore video out of it please please
Hmmmm, does a cork ("dirt") roadbed go with a steel truss bridge?🤔
No way realistically but for my purposes it does.
How do you connect your track together?
Rail joiners.
Keep it up your videos of the best❤
Nice!
Good video , thank you.
Nice job! Looks like they run a bit smoother thru there now too! Love your channel!
Hopefully this will reduce derailments and disconnecting couplers.
I'm glad you're making your layout a proper double-track circuit. That Hiawatha siding and farm will probably have to be sacrificed in the process.
I think that one corner should just be single track and end that other curved track just before the crossing.
You have an awesome layout in development your channel is aways very entertaining
So i can have engines with sound
“My foreman”
I laughed at that way more than I should have
Nice Job Harrison👍.
What's the best way to contact you?
Nice
Modificando tu maqueta escala HO.
Yo modifiqué mi maqueta escala N.
Puse una curva 93/4" de radio marca Life Like.
Me salió mal la curva uniendo 2 vías flexibles, fue mala idea, debería comprar curvas 93/4" y rectas 5 " Atlas, paquete de 6.
nice
Well it held nerf cat so its good to go lol. Definitely going to be really nice for when you do live streams.
Modificación de tu maqueta escala HO.
Nice, that will give you some more options for running trains. That was pretty funny with Nerf Cat showing up right on time!
Loved the weight test
You did a good job adding on that bridge. That's going to be really cool to have a double track setup. I recently got some front car kits from a flea market ive been too. They were new never built . Then I went to a flea market that I've never been to and I got a Mantua 4-8-0 loco for $20 and it runs it just has the boiler cap that's missing but I can get one somewhere. The guy I was dealing with was going to give me a bunch of buildings and stuff for like twenty bucks I just don't have the room for it. Good video Harrison
Great job Harrison! Im sure your weight inspector gets paid very well with kiblets.

@@SMTMainline Now thats what "I call being paid handsomely"
A little upgrade is always good. Nice job. From Texas
I love how a layout can constantly evolve if you let it. Some people get set into a hard plan and stick to it no matter what, but adapting a layout over time is part of the fun to me.
Want to run steam? Let's put in a roundhouse, coaling station, and water tower. Diesel? A diesel servicing area.
Different industries for different freight cars; boxcars, hopper cars, tank cars, auto loaders, double stack container cars...
It's hard to fit into a personal layout, but the elegance of a large passenger station with 10+ platforms is a beautiful thing to see; especially if you have the trains operating through it.
Change, adapt, and then do it again.
Absolutely, I'm not against planning but if it prevents you from doing anything that's counter productive. The point of a hobby is enjoyment and this layout does just that
Hi Harrison great videos love the Forman nerf cat that's great he's a great cat
Foreman nerf cat always makes sure things are up to "scratch" lol
New fan here. A bit of a CN/CPKC/UP buff. I just found your content about 2 weeks ago or so. I like the box openings :) I'm actually a content creator for Open Rails (MSTS), since I don't have space for HO or N scale modelling at the moment. I love your layout and your knowledge of all the parts/equipment you work with. Its fun to watch! Thank you :)
Also nerf cat demolishing the cows was pretty funny.
"passed the weight inspection" Great ad lib dude😋
Nice plan to add double track!
Vacum asmr Indeed.
Nerf cat cameo. LOL. Purrfect timing. You make it look so easy. Great job on the bridge. Excellent work as always.
Thanks, it was a fun project. Can't wait to get the rest of the track done.
CAT Certified!
Well… i never wondered how neanderthals would handle train model layouts…
Now I know anyway…
Love your enthusiasm. But ditch the caveman/sledgehammer approach.
Up to u of course
I'm glad you took that track plan idea I gave you a few years ago and adopting it to your layout. Where the outside main and now the inside main oross, install plastic rail joiners to separate and isolate tracks to use 2 power packs.
Now that's good, double track around the layout, trains running around both ways,yes
“We got a runner!” Beautiful track work! My nerve damage hematoma injury won’t let me be able to do this anymore. 😭😭Beautiful work!
