Thanks for the memories. When I was in the Navy, we made a port call to Portugal and I remember some of the landmarks in this video. Glad I stuck around. - John C.
As I retired to Portugal a few years ago it was lovely to see some of the places that I know and love being featured in your video. 🇵🇹 I enjoyed your whole presentation and take my hat off to you for the work and dedication which has gone into this project. The bridge is truly amazing. I am in awe of your talents.
@@rcgrabbag I wanted your opinion on something. I’m thinking about making a very small model railroad more like a working diorama. It’s only about 3.5’-4.0’ long. I want to be able to run one of my Dad’s favorite small locomotives. One end will be a tunnel deep enough to hide the locomotive and the other end a small, old locomotive “shed”. Is it possible to do something like this without having the track looped? I’m going to call it “The End of the Line” and dedicate it to my late father who absolutely loved trains of all types (real and model) Thank you, Dennis Brown 🚂
Great video! I really am loving watching you build your layout, thanks for bringing us along, and I am so excited to watch you start doing more scenery
Excellent instructions for building the bridge. Your patience has severed you well with beautiful builds. You have the skill most of us can only wish to have. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. I also enjoyed you taking us along on your vacation to Portugal.
@@rcgrabbag I have been watching your layout from the beginning. I'm just blown away, beautiful layout design. Love the Steam Locomotive 🚂, the trestles . Looking forward to seeing the new video
Awesome trip! We visited living relatives in Germany for our 10th anniversary, caught Austria, and a touch of France while we were there, Portugal and Spain would have been nice!!!
I seem to recall that you had access to a model such as this when you were a member of a model railroad club some years ago. I was impressed then but even more so with this edition. I also admire the trestle work but my hands are too shaky now for such fine detail work. Many thanks for sharing.
When I was younger, I would watch many peoples' layout updates and how-to videos. I lost interest as the years went on - but your layout videos are absolutely fantastic. Thanks for making these!
Bridges make a layout and you have some amazing bridges! The Diablo Canyon bridge is still accessible with permission from the tribe, at least it was a few years ago. Lots of BNSF traffic over that bridge. I believe some remnants of the original wooden trestle bridge are still visible. Beautiful turbine! UP wasn't afraid to try different technologies back in the 50's and 60's.
Thank you for another great update! What I like most about your approach is the very clear and detailed documentation of how and why you approach each engineering issue involved in creating a masterpiece. I hope to have my own space ready in 2 years to start a similar sized layout. Your videos are saved for future reference. Happy holidays! Jim
Has always another great video, but seeing my home city from the eyes of another person I see it in a different way, makes me see the beauty that I'm use to and rarely appreciate, hope You have like it. ❤🙏
Another spectacular bridge and Portugal was beautiful with incredible architecture. That turbine was magnificent, amazing details and the sound of the turbine was overwhelming, as I’m sure it was in the prototype. I also enjoyed the sound of the horns on the loco. Thanks for another wonderful video and I appreciate that the time span between videos was reduced, the videos and layout are so intriguing that we would like a video every week.
I have an old wooden trussel by my house and it's just a marvel. Nothing special but it's a big sumbich and hard to imagine a bunch of goons building it.
Really enjoyed the updates on the layout but I must say that I'm green with envy regarding your travels. For now, my wings have been clipped but l hope to someday again travel abroad and visit wonderful lands such as Portugal.
I have seen some great model railway stuff but your timber trestle bridge is something else - fantastic work. I am looking forward to seeing it bedded into the scenary
no you are the layout LORD.because after this christmas im gonna make a layout but on chirstmas i get parts to make my first model train.and then thats why you have saved my future planes of an layout. so thank you.
Enjoyed the video. I’ve also been to Lisbon and saw the Pena Palace. It brought back a lot of memories. Would love to go back someday. Hope you brought home some Port!
I really like your layout. Sometimes I envy you for the space (and also the money) you have for your model railway as well as for your other hobbies. The UP #80 is a very beautiful locomotive. Unfortunately the Division Point models are not available outside Northern America, so for me living in Germany they are out of reach. I didn´t even manage to find a price for this beauty.
That locomotive is beautiful wow. Also, if having a laser cutter but not the right clamps isn’t a perfect summary of the DIY/Hobbyist struggle, I don’t know what is!
That's some really nice work. Full marks for patience, too! The only thing I would like tp gently point out to people is that wood bridges had a load limit well short of steel ones, and it looks a bit (to put it mildly) strange to see a Big Boy or DD40 rolling across a tall wood trestle. The days of mainline wood trestles were pretty much over by the time heavy steam locos showed up. Something to keep in mind - or not care about, as it's your railroad!
That’s certainly true in the general sense but there are a few examples of tall wood trestles used well into the diesel era. Holcomb Creek trestle comes to mind. Rare example for sure. Goat Canyon is another. But if your doing prototype railroading, a mainline wood trestle in the later years would be difficult to find. CSX was using a short wood trestle into the 90s somewhere but not sure where.
Something you should consider before spouting off about timber trestles, or even equipment, what is or was the axle loading allowed? Many times the axle loading of a tender was higher than the locomotive it was attached to. Most standard wood pile or framed wood trestles were built with bents of 10 to 15-foot spans, depending on when they were built. The spans of most railroads were in the 14, 14.5, and 15-foot lengths as getting stringers of 8 X 16 and 9 X 16 over 30 feet long were very hard. The biggest problem with wood trestles is fire and then the maintenance of the wood. The second biggest reason for the demise of wood for trestles was the use of trains of 100-ton cars that would punch the piles into the caps of the bents. If you are going to have to put concrete caps on the bents, you might as well build the whole bridge out of concrete or steel and have much longer spans.
i hope you keep up this momentum, we need more progress and vids! 2 years since season 3 started, 4 years since the layout was finalized, and barely any progress beyond bridges made me think you had given up on it for a long time
Your videos are truly terrific. I’m also a perfectionist, and I greatly admire your attention to detail, as well as your artistic approach to running the trains and building the scenery. Cheers to you, and a very happy new year!
Great. Nice to see Lisbon and Sintra again. I was there 25+ years ago. I remember at Pena Palace they had a very strict no cameras policy. Pretending I didn't understand didn't work, all cameras had to be left at the door. Are they more relaxed these days ?
I am a very early and inexperienced beginner, and I am VERY interested in the actual construction of the bridge arches and the texturing of the brick surface. My desire is to recreate the arched red brickwork as seen in the movie "The Polar Express" as the train approaches the North Pole. I'd like to put this around my Christmas Tree every year, so it should be easy to set up and tear down every year. Of course, this also means that the bridge will be curved. ANY tips/tricks/advice would be helpful and appreciated!
How many stringers did you plan for each track and did you intentionally omit the spacing spools between the stringers? Kudos for having support bents under each end of the truss span. Since the trestle is a framed one, when doing the scenery, the bents need to be on concrete, stone, or piles with a cap or header for support.
There are two sets of three stringers each under each track. I did omit the spacers. Not all trestles had them and they would be completely hidden from view anyway, so not worth the added effort. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video, where can I find the design of a double track curved trestle please , I’m looking forward in seeing the rest of the building Kind regards Jonathan from Australia
Hi thanks for watching! Sorry there really is no "design" other than the template I made for creating the curved bent alignment jig, which is specific to the trestle I built that has a ~42" radius. The bents follow a pretty common template that you can find on the interwebs, and then create your own curved jig like I did for whatever radius you need. Let me know if you have any more questions!
At some point yes. I will be doing a review of the Glacier Park brass Big Boy. For now, here’s a video I did years ago on our now defunct club layout ruclips.net/video/6Aqw0DFkqZU/видео.html
I'd love to see the Hell Gate Bridge with its full approaches at both ends in HO scale. If anyone you're the guy to do it, although a layout in a warehouse might be needed since the arch would span about 11' 6" and the approaches from end to end would be 195 feet. It would be a wow though. Ideally this dream layout would also feature the complete Penn Station so I've no idea what would be the cost there.
Thanks! I am by nature a tinkerer. Just been doing the hobby building off and on throughout the years. I spent a few hours a day for about a week assembling the bridge.
According to the Pentrex DVD Union Pacific‘s Mighty Turbines the tender originally served challenger number 3590 the B unit it came from the frame of Great Northern electric number 5018 and of course we all know that A unit was an Alco PA although I forget the number that it was originally Assigned It was completed at Union Pacific Omaha shops but unfortunately like the steam turbines of the 30s this turbine was a failure as it only had a run span of only six months
Division Point got it RIGHT ------- The Alco was NOT used when the turbine was running ------ It is NOT a 7000 hp. Locomotive It is a 5000 hp. Locomotive and the 2000 hp. Alco was used only when the turbine was shut down ------- JUST LIKE THE 8500 HP #1-30 WERE The only thing I would say having the turbine start out on diesel stored in the tank at the back of the PA 2 , which it does , then the PA shuts down once the turbine is at speed ,, which it does :::: THEN HAVING IT CHANGE OVER TO COAL which had a different sound yet again ,,, not so much a high speed scream ,, but more of a low pitch roar
Very nice video! Quick question about the staining.What kind of stain did you use on the wood for the trestle bridge? Did you mix it yourself? Regards, Paul
WOW 2 videos in 3 weeks he has spoiled us
I'm doing my best! Thanks for watching!
@@rcgrabbag no thank you for making great content
@@rcgrabbag do u plan on hiding the wiring on your layout.
This is the best channel for armchair modeling!
Haha thanks!
WOW!!!! That has to be the coolest sound I’ve ever heard for a model train engine!!
I think so too! The horn sounds amazing too!
Welcome back. Thank you for filming and sharing.
Thanks for watching!
And Portugal looks BEAUTIFUL!!!
Your skill for building bridges is just amazing 👏 😮
Turbine was magic! So was trestle bridge. Hanging out for the scenery.
Very kind, thanks!

Thanks! Back to Europe again today for F1 Monza!
Awesome!! So happy there’s another video so quickly!!
Trying my best! Glad you enjoyed!
As ever a very good video and some expert modelling, thank you.
You are very welcome!
Great sound, great handwork, great video ! Thx !

@@rcgrabbag I wanted your opinion on something. I’m thinking about making a very small model railroad more like a working diorama. It’s only about 3.5’-4.0’ long.

It better be perfect for $7,000. Beautiful trestle, just beautiful.
Great video! I really am loving watching you build your layout, thanks for bringing us along, and I am so excited to watch you start doing more scenery
Glad you enjoy it!
I think that’s one of the best model trains I’ve ever seen. Would look even better weathered
Please make more content on the layout!
Thanks for watching. I am working on another video.
That’s ridiculous. Excellent work ✊🚂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Building a trestle reminds me a lot of building a wooden roller coaster.
That would be a neat video
That bridge is really impressive. For the locomotive. Well that is really impressive aswell
Fantastic trestle bridge, the locomotive sounds great. The scenery, buildings was fabulous, thanks for sharing. The architecture was stunning
Many thanks!

Thanks glad you enjoyed!
Great looking trestle.
Thank you! Cheers!

14:08 I'd suggest also getting a progress powered rerailer for that. It also functions as a track strainer as well.
Thanks I’ll check it out 🙂
Beautiful!
I don't see how anyone could ever consider weathering one of these UP No80s. Very nice work on the layout and viaduct.
Thanks!
Amazing coal turbine!
It sure is!
Mad Skills. Raw Talent. New Subscriber !!!!
Thanks for the sub!

Yes, at least we are able to do it now without all the restrictions. Thanks for watching!
Well done 👏 love the detail,would love to have one someday
I have seen some great model railway stuff but your timber trestle bridge is something else - fantastic work.
I am looking forward to seeing it bedded into the scenary

Awesome bit of machinery you have there...something tells me you love your bridges😁🍻
You got that right!

$5,375 for the set
Really enjoyed the video, particularly haven't two different sections... modelling and travelling. Excellent! Subscribed.
Awesome! Thanks for the sub!
Painting the sides of the rails so they look rusty can add even more realism,just a suggestion, awesome layout
Thanks for watching! Yes, sides of the rails are painted a custom mix for a rusty effect. Check out my previous track weathering video.
That locomotive is beautiful wow. Also, if having a laser cutter but not the right clamps isn’t a perfect summary of the DIY/Hobbyist struggle, I don’t know what is!
So enjoyable. Thank you!

Should be regular progress from now on, but you know, life, best laid plans, etc., all that stuff...
you are a layout LORD
Haha thanks! I am not worthy!
Beautiful video of Portugal. We had to cancel our trip there in 2020 for obvious reasons. Hope to get there in ‘23.
Trestle looks great!

i live in portugal and its honestly quite amazing
Looks like you have two models of the coal turbine 👍🏻
Great video, all of it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great. Nice to see Lisbon and Sintra again. I was there 25+ years ago. I remember at Pena Palace they had a very strict no cameras policy. Pretending I didn't understand didn't work, all cameras had to be left at the door. Are they more relaxed these days ?
I guess they are more relaxed as the cell phone snaps by other guests were plentiful. Thanks for watching!
Season three here we go!
OOOOOoooooooooooowwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! goes the turbine!
Awesome!!👌🏻
Thanks! 😁
amazing. Love the idea of having one, of course not this fabulous...
Thank you! Cheers!
Wish the coal turbine was in plastic.......I would definitely buy it!
REALLY ????? Your train room is bigger than my house !!!!!!! LOL !!!! I'm so jealous 🥺
I'd love to collect all north American turbine locos
I am a very early and inexperienced beginner, and I am VERY interested in the actual construction of the bridge arches and the texturing of the brick surface. My desire is to recreate the arched red brickwork as seen in the movie "The Polar Express" as the train approaches the North Pole. I'd like to put this around my Christmas Tree every year, so it should be easy to set up and tear down every year. Of course, this also means that the bridge will be curved.
ANY tips/tricks/advice would be helpful and appreciated!
Well, I think if I were to do a similar project, I would build the main structure out of wood, foam and use plastic brick sheets for the exterior.
You should nickname the UP Bob-Bo...80B-80...That's all I could see at first. lol.
With detail like that I can understand why it's taking so long. I started with the garage build.
Amazing!!
Thanks!!
How many stringers did you plan for each track and did you intentionally omit the spacing spools between the stringers?
Kudos for having support bents under each end of the truss span.
Since the trestle is a framed one, when doing the scenery, the bents need to be on concrete, stone, or piles with a cap or header for support.
There are two sets of three stringers each under each track. I did omit the spacers. Not all trestles had them and they would be completely hidden from view anyway, so not worth the added effort. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video, where can I find the design of a double track curved trestle please , I’m looking forward in seeing the rest of the building
Kind regards
Jonathan from Australia
Hi thanks for watching! Sorry there really is no "design" other than the template I made for creating the curved bent alignment jig, which is specific to the trestle I built that has a ~42" radius. The bents follow a pretty common template that you can find on the interwebs, and then create your own curved jig like I did for whatever radius you need. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Wow! Amazing! Can you share your track plan?
Thanks! At some point I will but it’s changed since the early drawings.
These videos are great, thank you for uploading.
What are the chances of a Union Pacific Big Boy locomotive for this layout?
At some point yes. I will be doing a review of the Glacier Park brass Big Boy. For now, here’s a video I did years ago on our now defunct club layout ruclips.net/video/6Aqw0DFkqZU/видео.html
I'd love to see the Hell Gate Bridge with its full approaches at both ends in HO scale. If anyone you're the guy to do it, although a layout in a warehouse might be needed since the arch would span about 11' 6" and the approaches from end to end would be 195 feet. It would be a wow though. Ideally this dream layout would also feature the complete Penn Station so I've no idea what would be the cost there.
I do have another spectacular bridge in the works, but I'll have to keep it a secret for a while, so stay tuned!
Excellent
You do magnificent work. What is you background? What is your prior experience with tools? What is your estimated time so far on this project? Thanks.
Thanks! I am by nature a tinkerer. Just been doing the hobby building off and on throughout the years. I spent a few hours a day for about a week assembling the bridge.
According to the Pentrex DVD Union Pacific‘s Mighty Turbines the tender originally served challenger number 3590 the B unit it came from the frame of Great Northern electric number 5018 and of course we all know that A unit was an Alco PA although I forget the number that it was originally Assigned It was completed at Union Pacific Omaha shops but unfortunately like the steam turbines of the 30s this turbine was a failure as it only had a run span of only six months
What engine was this coal turbine built around? A quick google search didn’t turn up anything
Division Point got it RIGHT -------
The Alco was NOT used when the turbine was running ------
It is NOT a 7000 hp. Locomotive
It is a 5000 hp. Locomotive and the 2000 hp. Alco was used only when the turbine was shut down -------
JUST LIKE THE 8500 HP #1-30 WERE
The only thing I would say having the turbine start out on diesel stored in the tank at the back of the PA 2 , which it does , then the PA shuts down once the turbine is at speed ,, which it does ::::
THEN HAVING IT CHANGE OVER TO COAL which had a different sound yet again ,,, not so much a high speed scream ,, but more of a low pitch roar
Thank you for the video. How can I find the size and type wood that you used for the bridge? How can I find a pattern to make the bents?
I would just search for ho trestle bent jig. There are a couple in google search results and videos on youtube.
Get to the chopper!
Very nice video! Quick question about the staining.What kind of stain did you use on the wood for the trestle bridge? Did you mix it yourself? Regards, Paul
It was a mix of your various Minwax stuff. Some jacobean with a lesser amount of like a honey brown color.
