Thanks Joey! It has honestly kept my attention from the very beginning. Probably because I somehow crammed all of the elements that are interesting to me on a layout (lots of trains moving, disappearing, elevation changes, multiple trains running close together in tandem, automation, watching it all as I walk around the layout, etc). Thanks for watching!
Things are looking good! 👍 I see you you acquired one of the Appalachian and Western ES44's, nice. 😎 I love that C&O RS-1. Thanks for sharing your update.
Very much like that you are running the Canadian Pacific intermodal train! Both Canadian Pacific, & Canadian National my favorite roads. My layout theme early transition era from late steam to early diesel.
Thanks! I will be picking up another CP train this weekend and I am so excited to get it! That is my favorite road name…which is probably weird coming from a guy in Ohio!
@@whitmorestrains CN closed down it's Terra Transport 42 in. narrow gauge Newfoundland operation formally the Newfoundland Railway that it took over in 1949 when Newfoundland joined Canada . While I like both roads CP first choice for historical reasons. Early 1980's made several trips to Montreal Quebec then corporate headquarters of Canadian Pacific to research their archives on invitation from the head corporate historian Omer Lavallee. I was researching on the very close business relationship between the Reid Newfoundland Railway during construction 1881 - 1888, also supply of rolling stock both passenger & freight, also train operations. This relationship lasted till 1920 when the company turned over the railway to the government ,& renamed NGR. In 1926 still in government ownership, & operation renamed Newfoundland Railway. CP' close ties with the RNCO, NGR, NR lasted till 1947- early 1948. I shocked at the very least the amount of documents in the archives!! None of this historical material exist in the provincial historical archives. As a result of my research received special guest invitation from Canadian Pacific for the November 07th. 1985 centennial celebration at Craigellachie British Columbia on the driving of the last spike. This was my second railway centennial the other August 1981 start of construction of the Newfoundland Railway.
@Whitmore’s Trains funny I watching Heaths live stream. He was at Ross custom switches booth, I never knew about his tinplate switches, so while I watching on the desk top I went to phone and looked for ross tinplate switches, found your channel, just subscribed I will follow your progress.
@@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125 I’m glad it came up in a search! I’m sure other people are using them too. It’s about the only new switch option for tinplate today.
Your friend Mike gave me a link to your channel recently From his suggestion I have subscribed to your channel. Very nice his son gave you that gift of the CP flat car with trailer. I have the same car. constant runner on freight trains.
I am very honored to have met Mike and Christian through the RUclips train hobby connection. I was definitely surprised to be gifted such a cool car the last time I saw them! I take honor in seeing that car, and I will remembering that day every time I see it going around my layout! I’ll be seeing those guys again VERY soon :)
@@whitmorestrains On my behalf thank Brian for suggesting your channel when you see him & Christian very soon . He may tell you my deep interest in CP, & CN history.
They are just regular single track mth bridges that they have been making for years. They built the bridges to be screwed together with an adapter that was included in the 30” bridge box.
That was a nice gift from Mike and Christian. I watch his channel a lot. It is a great hobby for sure.
Everyone needs to hop on over to his channel and check out his layout and his vast collection of trains for sure!
What a beautiful gift from Mike @motocraze40! Amazing looking trailer car, love the red! 👍
The bridges look absolutely amazing! You did a fantastic job on mounting them. Love it!
Very interesting layout. Wood work looks precise.

Thanks! Those are 2 of my favorites as well! That ES44 is a heck of an engine and I’m honored to have it! Have a great day!

Thanks Guss!

Awesome bridges! I Just found your channel and subscribed. They look great. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Thank you for watching, and feel free to ask me anything you want to in the comments. I love talking trains:)
Your welcome my friend. Yes I certainly will, no problem!
Impressive bridge.
Thanks! Have a great day!
You must be a master carpenter, your bench work is cabinet maker grade.
No, I just keep at it one board at a time.

Ian referring to the bridges as I hav s 36 inch gap between my platform s that I am trying to span
What are they made of ? They appear to be sturdy to hold the weight of the engine.
Just plastic but they are very sturdy, even at the joint because the vertical supports are touching each other so there isn’t any deflection.
@@whitmorestrains thank you
Where did you get the bridges? How does the 30” and 10” connect?

Thank you
