  • This layout by Gordon Stockman, the "Santa Fe - Texas Petro Line,". The layout is featured in the August 2021 issue of Trackside Model Railroading. The layout is also for sale by the owner's family. It features an amazing, one-of-a-kind coking plant/oil refinery made by the owner, who worked as a designer of these coking plants in Houston, Texas. Gordon's facility is quite detailed; he joked that if he could run oil through his facility, he could produce coke.
    Thank you for viewing our RUclips channel. Don't forget to give us a thumbs up if you enjoyed the video and subscribe if you want more to see model train and prototype videos.

      Agreed. Unfortunately, though the sound editing is all wrong. A train going over a track joint makes the classic light clackclack-clackclack noise as each pair of trucks goes over it. The heavy kerchunkchunk-chunkitychunk in this video is a train going over a double-diamond.

    I really hope someone is able to get the whole layout... I hate when such beautiful art has to be torn apart, especially when it represents someone's legacy.
    To me, I see ripping apart a layout to sell off as pieces the same as cutting a locomotive down for scrap and parts... Necessary sometimes? yes, but always a tragedy.

    • @bobfinkenbiner2539
      @bobfinkenbiner2539 Год назад

      if the legacy was that important to the layout owner, you would have thought that he would have instructed the spouse as to how it was to be disposed. in a lot of cases, the friends of the owner would assist in the dismantling and disposal of the layout. i've taken apart 6 layouts, assisted in the sale of 3 estates, and it can be heart rendering. rarely will the widow get but a fraction of the estate. bottom dwelling consolidators will offer pennies off the dollar, and scam the spouse as to the value. friend can assist in getting the best prices for the widow, but emotions can make the difficult task even harder. RARELY can an intact layout be saved. most were never built for removal. when i took mine down, i gifted all the benchwork to friends who were building their own layouts.

    • @wedelacresdepottrains9060
      @wedelacresdepottrains9060 10 месяцев назад +1

      That's why I tell friends that even if you plan it as being your last , to build at least the benchwork sectional. That way you can make changes real easy or sell and move later.

    I wish I had the space to be able to preserve this thing and honor his legacy. It's a shame that the family is selling it rather than passing it down to future generations of Stockmans but everybody's situation is different. If they do end up breaking it up i'd be interested in a locomotive and a few pieces of the rolling stock. I'd put together a shadow box and display them. May have to send them an email. I was just in Houston a month ago on the way to and from Galveston. Would have loved to have seen this layout.

      Yeah, I think it would be manageable. It has a pretty good shot out the door where someone could pull close to the building. If the trailer is 16 feet I bet it'd be somewhat easy. You could have them ( Mike ) take pictures of the doors and driveway for you to see if it's doable. I think it would be.
