    What if you could switch a freight car from your layout to someone else's? We had a lot of fun doing that! This video was a digression from making a video titled "Silly Little Projects," which itself was a digression from making a video titled "The Road to Nowhere." Now that this parenthesis is closed, I can work my way back to what I was doing originally. Thank you MLWQC for indulging me.

    Such a cool idea, I had a similar idea years ago, motive power, essentially leased units making their way from railroad to railroad. The one guy I commented on was not impressed at all, saying he only runs his power, etc etc, some other things I’m sure, I’d really have to dig. But he came across extremely rude which was unfortunate. Because he made some amazing videos and had an amazing layout with his own ‘fantasy’ road. I unsubbed him, and left it at that. His locomotives were mostly red, that’s all I’ll say. I’m glad to see there are other people out there that think it’s a cool idea, keep up the awesome work man! Great use of an old blue box too, I’ve got that same number in my fleet somewhere :)

      I think SDSL had a great idea and I am glad I could take part of it. I am always open for these things. Its lot of fun.

    • @SouthDown
      @SouthDown  Год назад +1

      Leased units sound great. Or perhaps next time we should have some kind of business car. Each railroad it encounters will need to add one figure in the lounge representing themselves.
      Would you want the freight car to visit your layout?
