Man, i love seeing these videos in the mornings. I end up going to work thinking about my layout all day and forgetting about the stresses of the day. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Hmmm. With those locals making long shoving moves back to the yard I think you need a shoving platform. This is a great excuse to buy a caboose and give it a heavy weathering job. 🙂 Cheers from Wisconsin!
Jimmy, Love the low angle videos! Makes it seem like we are watching trains trackside. Drinking my favorite coffee and watching my favorite RUclips channel this morning!! 100% Kona peaberry from Kona Coffee and Tea and …. DDRR!! The best!!
"Management" appreciates track efficiency of using a passing/meeting siding as a yard lead, arrival tack, and departure track all on one track. Yard hog engineer, not so much.
Cool video! Looks like 7138 is due for some time in the shops for the missing handrails... Been battling handrail issues with my fleet so i may be a bit over observant in that area lately
Jimmy, there's a shot at 3:44 that I think is really cool. It's a little bright and the "sky" is blown out, but I notice that this seems to really give it a lifelike feel. Well done! Also, when you do these op sessions for a video, or just for fun, how do you set them up? Do you do a car card system, or do you just make up something that seems like fun and works for a story? If you use car cards, I'd really like to sit through some of the mundane parts of figuring out where to go. Maybe just narrating what you're figuring out would be great. So many people talk about operations and sometimes show them like this, but it's really missing the nitty gritty of, "yes, but HOW?" I'm not fussed if it's not something that you are as hardcore on or if you do it like other people. I'd like to see what YOU do when you plan for them and run them. I like the produced look, but informative is better for this idea.
I also love the old folding medium format camera in the background sometime later. I have one that I more or less inherited from my great uncle. I've actually run a roll of film through it, but it was pretty fogged.
I’m very new and have some questions. After passing by what did the Intermodal do while you attended to the freight that was on they siding? What did both of those do while you were doing the switching and other things?
I have learned so much from your videos. I have tried epoxy for the first time in a small pool over a river. My little dam leaked a very small leak and the epoxy didn’t harden. It has been 3 days now and it is sticky like glue. Can I pour new epoxy over the old?
Always fun running trains!
I just love these Operations vids! So fun!
That was a fun session ... thanks.
Love this format. I also love the country and country rock music 😎

Was thinking the same thing!
Wow! First video I’ve seen in a while where someone runs their trains. Realism on your layout is fun to watch.
I love watching your trains run, and I love the narration of the events in the session! Keep making great content!
You make me laugh and smile.
Great video. enjoyed it much.
Great video. Like you said, sometimes it is just fun to watch trains run. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe make some scrap loads so the hoppers are not empty
Great job Jimmy! Really great music too!

Thanks Jimmy always fun to watch
Where was the intermediate hiding? I meant intermodal!
I love your sessions, especially as I'm still constructing my railroad so can't run anything yet.

Great layout,and as former rail a drop off
Is called a set out not nick picking just
Talking,again nice layout.

Fun, thanks. Question: Is it the camera / lighting or is your track shiny brass?
A steam era ops would be sweet to watch
I want to see an all steam only op session!
I love your videos could you do some sorting I love those videos
What do you use to uncouple trains
