My HO scale Traction layout, "Wiley City"

- This is my second traction layout, based on the Fruit Warehouses at Wiley City on the Yakima Valley Transportation Co. network in Washington State. First of all we see GE Steeplecab 298 (Model Railroader Jan 2010) arrive with an Intermountain 57' UPFE Reefer, then proceed to switch the outbound traffic. Then scratchbuilt Line Car A arrives with a flat car.
All of the Fruit buildings are scratchbuilt, and the General Store is from Blair Line. The trackwork is Shinohara code 70, with Fast Tracks #4 turnouts. My first YVT layout has recently been dismantled, but can be seen on another RUclips clip.
FANTASTIC!!!!! I love the old Traction equipment, and you have captured the look and feel of the Juice Line!!!!!
That is so cool! You've done a fine job of capturing an old traction line. It's a lesser-tried aspect of model railroading. I like the South Shore & South Bend traction line in northern Indiana and I wish I had the wherewithal to build it in HO scale.
I agree, very well done!
Wow, great modeling and nice touch with the flagman and vehical stopped and then gone for the line car.
Andy
That is fantastic. Such a great job on everything. It makes me feel like I'm watching the whole scene from years ago.
Jeff Horn
Wow, good video and great modeling!
Your layout may be the trigger to switch to a traction layout! An excellent video of a wonderfully detailed layout.
Very nice video ! Great layout and loco and rollingstock ! Thanks for sharing ! Martin
Excellent modeling and a unique subject.
Good job !
Terrific. Loved it. Thanks for posting.
Awesome layout!
Very nice!
Beautiful Layout! Love the Scenery Too!!
I especially like how the vehicle which appears to be waiting at the grade crossing at 1:40 is no longer waiting at 2:50, talk about a well crafted video.
Takes me back to when I last was in Wiley City....
Beautifully done!
Absolutely stunning job👍 thanks for sharing
Great modeling. It's good to see the motor earning it's keep.
Nice job! It all looks great and our General Store kit has never looked better.
excellent.
Very clever use of camera cuts to give the illusion of people actually moving (the flagman for example) and cutting away to hide reverseing the catanery pick ups
Amazing
Wow fantastic layout and neat engines, I guess you scratch built all your equipment if not the engine is fantastic. I would love to know more about it. Best regards Bruce
Well you done good its perfect
Nice
nice Layout
Real Nice video.
Reminds me of the Iowa Traction.
Congrats, Andy. Wonderful detail & exc switching moves. Loved the fruit orchard in the background.
Are you concerned that the flagman's arms will get tired? :)
Wow I know this is an old video but I just found your channel. Great layout. I liked and subbed to ya! 😃
Very nice video, Steeple cab power is my favorite traction power.-TM
well paid attention to detail. traffic moving etc.
Realistic Speeds, Great.
@trainsignguy Thanks, I'm looking forward to building more Blair Line kits in the future.
How do you keep your trolley wire so taut ? Super atmosphere.
EDIT- I think it's Shine On by Terry Devine-King & Lincoln Grounds.
@cvgeeps I built it from drawings in Sept. 1985 RMC. My Steeplecab 298 was in Jan. 2010 Model Railroader.
I was going to ask you to guess, but that'd be mean. It's 6' long, and just over 12" wide.
Nice locs
Tell them guys standing around to get busy....lol
Nice layout the Line Car was very cool looking did you build it or was it brass??
Is this wire powerd?
Very nice! How do you keep the trolley poles from coming off the wire?
Did you use a roadbed?
Yes, I used 4mm cork, but a lot of the surrounding ground areas are built up to track level because such a lightly laid line wouldn't have noticeable ballast shoulders.
Nice work!!! What the total length of the layout?
Err, I don't know Bob...!! It's something "Copyright free" suggested by RUclips.
