I run 3 rail O Gauge, but I enjoy railroads like this that utilize switch lists, pick up and drop off, cool signal systems and extremely cool CTC machines. This was a terrific video.
What an amazing, amazing layout . . . the realistic operating system is wonderful. A true labor of love over the years. I enjoyed this video so very much, thanks guys!
I worked for the ATSF as a conductor brakeman switchman back in the 70s and 80s and worked freight and passenger. I dealt with switch lists, trainmasters, clerks, all that stuff and hung out at Terminal Tower and Mission Tower in LA and watched the tower operators work. I have to say Lee has it dead on in all aspects of how American railroads operated up until the late 80s and early 90s. It is amazing. Thanks for the video. Now lets see Lee's crews read a paper switch list in the rain. I bet he has tiny plastic slip covers like we did. Haha
This video comes complete circle for me I just finished watching a webinar on the history of timekeeping on the Railroad amazing as it seems the relative time keeping methods of your video completes the webinars explanation of time keeping accuracy on the railroad. Scale model accuracy explained the intricacies of time and accidents. Super cool screwing around tonite.
Very realistic operations. I saw a RUclips video where they used RFID operations! All of the engines and rolling stock had a RFID “chip” and used that for delivery or assembly of the trains. The engineer would back the cars over the trader and the computer would align the switch for delivery. Once completed the local would take the next consist to final destinations. Realistic operations at the highest levels. Creating a consist in the back room was done with barcode reader and making it up. Then it was ready for the operator.
..YOU GUYS ARE SIMPLY AWESOME Thaaaank you for ALL the times i go back and revisit theese -YOUR videos or look into your lifes pleasures:-)..I have found that the reason i keep coming back are the funny talks you have before and after a showing og diff trains toys and much more. G Bles and again THANKS
My friends weren't quite this refined. At that time they were studying electrical engineering. But I could see them doing this in time. They had built their own switching monitoring system. It rarely failed. But sometimes it did, which gave the rail crew a big clean up. :)
In Jr high we had a basic electronic class. As part of shop. Teacher asked if anyone had built anything electronic? I had built a crystal radio but my real prize was my layout and I said so. All the kids laughed. “Yea so hard to hook two wires to the track”. No I said, two trains on the same track, individually controlled, working reverse loop and 2 sets of automatic crossing gates. They laughed louder. NERD!!!! You can’t win. Not when your 14. .
Oh yes, I had great trouble learning about switches and wondering why the locomotive would suddenly back up. Just about the time I had my O gauge assembled around the house, I had to take it apart again. Then I had this hair brained idea to put it up in the back yard. I had the first yard railway in high school. Had more trouble with rusty connectors, but full throttle on the loco took on new meaning. So did having a basset hound chase it. I've always played with the idea of doing that again; even putting one against the ceiling and running it through the house. I live in a 5th wheel now, so kind hard.
Yay, I'm "Like" number 600! That's 'cause I always like "Like"-in' the Toy Man's most likeable videos! Their trips they take us along on are always soothing and very enjoyable 8)
RUN LIKE A REAL RAILROAD VERY INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE GREAT VIDEO VERY COOL SCREWING AROUND YOU TEO ARE JUST AWESOME GOOD THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO AND TIME.
Hi. Really great operation right? Fir the real operation people. We like to build more than run and operations isn’t something we do. But they do have a great time!!
Great video! I enjoyed the fun commentary you and your wife provide. It looks like Lee has upgraded his train control from Rail Lynx to ProRail. Many of us burned some good hours (and calories) digging out the ground from under Lee's home to create the location of the train staging tracks. (the mole) I am also glad to see that Lee has named K.N. tower after his longtime friend and UCW railroader Kelly Newton who past away a few years ago. Thanks for the excellent fun and stroll down the UCW memory rail!
💟👏😊 I KNOW I KNOW🤣 I've now revisited soo many of your movies that I used up 39 gigabytes of my monthly 50gb..and its only the 9th of march🤯... I love falling asleep to the sounds of trains/consists (horns+whistles)and your informative and funny talking 😂🤣 Thank you for a GREAT sleep ..but need to figure out another way to fall asleep🤣🤣🤣 GODSPEED😁TO U 2😎
OK funny story. Karyn and I were checking into a hotel and I could hear a steam train running. Clearly there was no steam train in the lobby of the hotel and clearly the sound was coming from a speaker but it just seemed to be coming from everywhere as I wandered around the lobby. it must’ve been coming through the PA system because it was just everywhere. My kind of background music! Until I realized that I accidentally put my phone in play. And it was playing a 30 minute steam train video. And the sound was coming from me.
@@ToyManTelevision oh my 👀😂👏 awesome🙏🤣👍🏽 The sound is captivating. I'll never forget the first time I heard the through freight loco engine deep rumble coming through philly .I SWEAR ALL OF PHILLY heard it🇺🇸👍🏽🙏💟.. Thank you for all u do 4 uz🌻 Spirit moving stuff😉
john mcintosh thank you!!!!! If you can think of anyone that might like it do share. We have a fun Train show tomorrow, the National N Scale Convention. Some cool layouts and HOn30 on Tuesday
I thought that this would be boring. I was captivated by the effort to act as an actual working railroad. I just can't wait until Wednesday for the extra episode. Toy Man you did another video of some great screwing around. Keep up the great work.
This style of operations is exactly how it’s supposed to be done. I’m all for the switch lists, and jobs to pick off a clipboard. Just hope I pull it off close to as good as this
This is the second time, I believe, we have visited this gran layout. This time We noticed the ceiling height. What is the story there? figures I'd pick that out. Always well done. Thank the Gods you are such a great videographer. Well done! Greg and Jeanne.
H!!! He dug that side of the basement out with a shovel. Hence... The Mole Yard. Should have gone down another foot. BUT if I were gigging, even a duck would need to duck.
I aspire to do op's on my layout. At this point it's just a simple timetable that I alone run. It would be cool to be at this level but not feasable without other helpers. Coming over for Trainfest this year and hoping to learn more about it, and maybe get some pic's of the area I'm modeling Chicago Elgin Rockford.Cheers Les
I'd love to see this layout in person at least once! I think it'd be cool if he had a steamer or two, then he could simulate an excursion running through to all the station stops or say if a local company restored an engine to run in the area.
Gday Gang another GREAT Video and WOW I really cant believe how realistic it looked for a HO Scale Layout, Shame he didnt run some F units for you guys.
Not sure if it is any interest to you but we are currently trying to save the last F type unit built anywhere in the World (1970) down here in Australia. The man behind it is shown on the TV Show "Railroad Australia" if you have had a Chance to see it.
Same here/ Just me. As a kid I got a chance to go in some locos, HOT AND LOUD. But the locos with the "walkway" were not hot. Mostly. So could see why the crews hated the "covered wagons".
Farmer Dave take a look at last weeks video on Rat Fink. We went up there to find a house I almost bought in 1978 for $1200. No not 12,000, 1200. Found it. Worth about 300K. Oh nuts!!
It was up for a day!! Then I was told to take it down. Assuming they work out their issues, I'll put it back up in a few weeks. The switch stand is not ready and the guys making it freaked out.
This really is a beautiful layout. I just wish they would run a little slower at switching speeds. The trains seem to run too fast and accelerate too quickly. I have been watching to new ESU Lok sound videos demonstrating the Lock Sound which enables sound to be separated from the actual train speed and seeing the operators switching at such realistic speeds is just great.
This is fantastic! Gee, the hours invested to build this layout must be in the thousands of hours. I like how you explained the way trains used to be made, and run. See you Wednesday.
Hi love your shows do yiu have a web site that i can purchase one of your t-shirts if you sell them looking forward to hearing from you thankyou and keep on SCREWING AROUND
Leonard Thomas hi! I should be better at this. We have a web site. But it’s just a bunch of links. We do have shirts at teespring.com teespring.com/shop. Search for toy man Television. I don’t like the newest shirts with the small rocket and lots of writing. They are part rayon or ? And don’t fit well. I should take them down but not sure how to. Anyway the older basic shirts are great. Some say still plays with toys. Or trains. Or just toy Man Television. I really like the light blue ones.
Whilst I understand the intent behind it and the obvious enjoyment for those involved, I could not stand it... It is part of our culture to have a healthy disregard for rules and rule makers! To me the fun is in the running, so what if the 0815 Semi fast arrives on Platforms 3,5 & 6 everyone is allowed a mistake! No-one got hurt, just had a really big boo-boo and we all had a good laugh and the culprit bought everyone else a drink that night after work. Wanna work with me??
I like sitting at the bench building stuff over a beer and a bit of television or music. BUT this is cool, not my thing, but I'd try it just for fun. Hate to get hooked on it though, and I'll bet I could.
What I was trying to say, rather badly, is for me too many rules ruins the fun for me. Of course for those into such an arrangement, good luck and enjoy as they obviously are doing but for me too structured. Agree on the possibility that, properly coached, getting hooked is aan ever present danger.....
Iam a retired railroad engineer no way I would like to do that .I don't like clubs that have Operation night.. I like to run trains build model and airbrush models but When I'm playing with a model railroad I do not want to be operating a model railroad
I hear you. Not my cup of tea either and I’ve never worked for a railroad. However I love to watch trains moving. I get a huge kick outa these elaborate systems to operate. I can watch it for hours. On video. As I work on a model which is what I love to do.
@@ToyManTelevision yes not for me don't get me wrong I love this hobby and military models but I use to be the vice president of the Chattanooga area model railroad club I went south to work on the Tennessee Valley railroad museum and then for the C&C railroad in Lafayette Ga. Went back to Michigan to finish on the Ann arbor railroad in Toledo Ohio now iam retired but I started in this hobby as a kid my parents had a big hobby shop growing up in ann arbor Michigan so I got all the good stuff growing up ..but now I am a fulltime model builder mostly German and Russian armor and airplane and I model O scale I think it just A perfect scale the sounds is amazing well I up grade the sound and smoke units and I do have smells on my layout they make smoke units and you can get any smells that you want. I have a incredible work shop most people say I have more stuff than 3 hobby shop in my area so I just don't have time to do that kind of Operations .but I love your Videos been watching your Videos for 4days I build for 7am to 11PM so I only watch RUclips Videos all day. I might start a RUclips channel on anything modeling. Keep up the hard work ...ps. take time to build some of your kits .lol
This should be a field trip destination for high school students...the serious ones. Great layout...simply amazing!
Really shows how it was, and in some ways, still is, done.
CHAS1422
The history classes especially. It would intrigue them the most.
I have operated the UCW for a few years in the early 2000s. Looks like a lot has changed!
Keep it up Lee!
Thank you for the wonderful work, lovely people! My son and I will be watching this video again tonight!
Madhu Nagaraj Lee has created something amazing
Excellent. Best video on operation I had ever seen. Before, everything about operation was fuzzy in my head, but now everything is clear. Well done.
I run 3 rail O Gauge, but I enjoy railroads like this that utilize switch lists, pick up and drop off, cool signal systems and extremely cool CTC machines. This was a terrific video.
This is the best operations I have ever seen.
What an amazing, amazing layout . . . the realistic operating system is wonderful. A true labor of love over the years. I enjoyed this video so very much, thanks guys!
And always changing.

I'm grabbing a water balloon and I'll find out. Unless they hit me.
Wow, what a realistic operation! I could never pull that off. Keep up the good work, sir! Your videos make my week
This video comes complete circle for me I just finished watching a webinar on the history of timekeeping on the Railroad amazing as it seems the relative time keeping methods of your video completes the webinars explanation of time keeping accuracy on the railroad. Scale model accuracy explained the intricacies of time and accidents. Super cool screwing around tonite.
COOL. Was that on You Tube?
WOW! I so love when people restore refurbish things and use them with there layouts.
Very realistic operations. I saw a RUclips video where they used RFID operations! All of the engines and rolling stock had a RFID “chip” and used that for delivery or assembly of the trains.

Realistic operations at the highest levels. Creating a consist in the back room was done with barcode reader and making it up. Then it was ready for the operator.
Sounds really great. Similar to this but no RFID.
GREAT VIDEO AWESOME INFORMATION AND THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS BEAUTIFUL LAYOUT AND RAN LIKE A REAL RAILROAD. VERY COOL. 👍👍👍👍

Great job guy's as always!
Wow. Could play with this train set all day long
They do. And people come from all over the world just to run on it. COOL!
That's a fantastic video about a fantastic layout. Model railroading really is the world's greatest hobby! ...Roy
LOve this layout on so many levels. BUT the operating.... NOT an operator, but after seeing this layout, want to try it.
My friends weren't quite this refined. At that time they were studying electrical engineering. But I could see them doing this in time. They had built their own switching monitoring system. It rarely failed. But sometimes it did, which gave the rail crew a big clean up. :)

i sure will share and in about to join a rail club ,hope you can look forward to some more subscribers from Scotland
OUTSTANDING once again.🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸
Thanks!!!
Great video, love the layout and how it operates. Love the old CTC machine. Again, great video.
Love the CTC!!!! Wow!!
Great video you two. Lots of great things
You 2 are NEVER Boring just,"Switching & Click-click along..:-)
Wow, I love Lee`s railroad, great video.
Another great video !
Thanks!! Fun show on Tuesday. We are starting on the history of AHM Rivarossi.
Thank you, was really interesting....
Lee has quite a system there. Taking operations to a different place!
Very nice
Paul Bislin Thanks!!
Enjoyed it guys! Great show!
We want to go to an operation session
I thought that this would be boring. I was captivated by the effort to act as an actual working railroad. I just can't wait until Wednesday for the extra episode. Toy Man you did another video of some great screwing around. Keep up the great work.

And you just got another subscriber! Great videos!!! 2 thumbs up!
WELCOME!!!
We have one of those CTC machines at our layout (The La Mesa Model Railroad Club) in the San Diego model Railroad Museum in San Diego.
REALLY want to see that layout!!!!!
You guys are COOL!!!!!
Thanks!!!
Always in aw of his control system, saving a peice of history in a fully functioning manner
I went to Lee's house to see his railroad many many years ago. I'm sure it's been totally changed by now.
A bit for sure. Oddly the same in most ways. Just more so.
Very good VIDEO THANK you FOR your VIDEO and your TIME HAVE a good day JIM KAMMERER OF PHILADELPHIA PA THANK you FOR your TIME HAVE a good day 👍👍👍👍

Welcome aboard
I'd love to see this layout in person at least once! I think it'd be cool if he had a steamer or two, then he could simulate an excursion running through to all the station stops or say if a local company restored an engine to run in the area.
He has operating groups over but that' s all HOWEVER the national NMRA Convention is in Salt Lake in 2019 and the layout is on the tour.
Gday Gang another GREAT Video and WOW I really cant believe how realistic it looked for a HO Scale Layout, Shame he didnt run some F units for you guys.
True!! Most of his locos are walkway units. Sad for me...
Not sure if it is any interest to you but we are currently trying to save the last F type unit built anywhere in the World (1970) down here in Australia. The man behind it is shown on the TV Show "Railroad Australia" if you have had a Chance to see it.
Oh what you call Walkway Units we call Hood Types here Down Under :)
Same here/ Just me. As a kid I got a chance to go in some locos, HOT AND LOUD. But the locos with the "walkway" were not hot. Mostly. So could see why the crews hated the "covered wagons".
Great video! Does he use a particular software for generating the switch lists?
Chris Allan it's called flex bill. Take a look at ruclips.net/video/ATsmgLcf_XU/видео.html
Chris Allan more on this railroad on Wednesday. On the radio control and new switch stand.
Wow. On my layout I just run a train whenever I feel like it.
Mee too. Best part is just building stuff.
I'm trying to figure out what canyon you are driving in. It appears to be Emigration Canyon. Amirite ?
Farmer Dave take a look at last weeks video on Rat Fink. We went up there to find a house I almost bought in 1978 for $1200. No not 12,000, 1200. Found it. Worth about 300K. Oh nuts!!
I thought you made a video about the radio control system for this railroad. I can't locate it. Is it available or am I mistaken?
It was up for a day!! Then I was told to take it down. Assuming they work out their issues, I'll put it back up in a few weeks. The switch stand is not ready and the guys making it freaked out.
Thanks for the neat tour! I'm wondering; Where can I find the "Wednesday" video?
Lee wanted me to take it down! Sort of upset the guy who designed the switch stand. It will be back as soon as Lee resolves that.
That's too bad, I was looking forward to seeing the stands. What about the RailPro portion?
Is your train layout going to be similar to the one in the video in how it operates or how it is going to look?
This really is a beautiful layout. I just wish they would run a little slower at switching speeds. The trains seem to run too fast and accelerate too quickly. I have been watching to new ESU Lok sound videos demonstrating the Lock Sound which enables sound to be separated from the actual train speed and seeing the operators switching at such realistic speeds is just great.

You guys should come out to O'ahu , Hawaii and check out our club. Its called THE OAHU MODEL RAILROAD SOCIETY , we are found on Facebook..
Wow so cool I would love to speck there but I can’t:( ITS SO COOL.
Us&s was in pittsburgh pa
6:56 there is one in the ac tower in marion ohio
Still a few. Just a few...
I would bet a buck that the control system uses Bruce Chubb’s C/MRI
pmsteamrailroading Don’t know. But that’s pretty old school!!
Like if toy Man television should start a ho scale layout
At some point we home. Ho and HOn3. But way off....
hope to..
You might want to brush up on the difference between searchlights and semaphores
Simi fours are threes that are almost fours and search lights advertise movies.
