Good session Jimmy. You definitely were able to show that meaningful operations are possible on a very compact layout. Take care and keep up the good work. Art...
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. I’m new to railroading and considering creating my first switching yard and this was very helpful.
Really like what you're doing, Jimmy. Thanks so much for letting me in behind the scenes. New layout is looking great. Can't wait to see more and share your enthusiasm.
I just figured out my lay out of track then went to hobby shop and found Piers to do raised track to be upper level that I wasn't sure how to do now I can. I am doing lake and train station to drop people off so they can go fishing. May put farm into it. I am not into the industry side of the trains but I like to watch others do it. Yours is looking great can't wait to see the scenery you put on and the industry's you add. GOD BLESS Jimmy 🚂💖🚂💖
Absolutely love this little layout, its given me an idea for my first layout. Thank you so much for sharing. Also, it was a nice little operation, cant wait to see it again when you have put in your intended industries.👏🏼
Great one! It has inspired me to get my ideas together for my now dormant Railroad that has been quiet since spring hit! Rethinking Some or all of my track plan!
Oh Jimmy, thank you so much for sharing this op session. Ops has been what I've always wanted out of Model Railroading and this gives me so much encouragement and inspiration! Thank you so much!!!
I'm just getting ready to build my first little setup, and guides and channels like yours have sure inspired me to get into this hobby. OPs seem like a great way to get more invested in it! Thank you, keep up the great work!
Nice work on putting the session together! One thing you can add to increase complexity and interest is to have hold cars that don't get picked up. You have to move them out of the way in order to do your work behind them and that can very interesting at times.
hey brother, if you wanted... you could paint a tie yellow for your clearances. It's very prototypical and you'll know where to cut your cars. I seen't it practiced on that KCS. Cheers my dude.
Hi Jimmy, A gratifying video, thank you for sharing your experiences .. I liked this operations video, it was something different from the rest of your videos. Here is a request for your video roadmap, it would be possible to include the topic of signs, distribution or the best way to distribute signs. Thank's
Dude I Really like how u did all the sidings . I have been trying to figure how to do some simple working side effects im definitely when doing some changes when I get home . My lil layout is in the same stage as yours
Your layout is really coming out wonderful. I like the tip on marking where you put the cars in the sidings so you can setup where your industry will go. Do you plan to make some of your turnout automatic / electrified. I can't believe the long trains you can pull on the mains. This layout is really coming along super. Can't wait to see scenery and the other details.
Very cool! If I may suggest 1 idea to improve spur function? Carve out a very slight slope away from the turnout. Very slight as in 1/16th of an inch. That should be enough that uncoupled cars roll toward the bumper & not toward the ladder or mainline. I’m normally an HO guy but lumber prices made me pull out some N I had stored away. I just did my first ops session this past Saturday and decided a slight slope will greatly help. Though I use the kato magnet uncouplers. N is too tiny for me to manually uncouple.
the bamboo poker sticks for grilling skewers work great for uncoupling.

Now that is a ton of operations potential in a small space, well done! Very much enjoyed.

Nice op session jimmy. Hope that i can get over being shy and do a new video like this

Sweet ops session, Jimmy, thanks for sharing. Looks like everything is working out.
Getting your gear running get ya pass the purgatory stage of building a layout👍🚂🚃🚃🚃🇨🇦
Nice music. Liked the music at the beginning the best.
Great video. Love the operations, and you make it look so easy! Thanks for sharring.
Great stuff bud! I'm a freight conductor and your whole op session for the track plan you have is right on the money.
05:21 Train Crash!!! Bring out the MoW to clean up the wreck!....lol. Great Ops session Jimmy! - Jason

I wish I had this kind of room and money

What number kato switches are u using.

I watched some vids on this layout and was wondering if you were gonna make some op sessions for this. Here it is, nice vid!
Jimmy, try not to hit the cars so hard. It’s not nice to bust a knuckle.

Nevermind, I noticed after commenting that your mainline is raised. The storage yard may still benefit from a slight slope. Just an idea though.
good vid
what? What?? WHAT??? NO BLOOPERS???? Who stole Jimmy's body? ~miJ sppO!
😊
Did you use dc or dcc on this video
This is a DCC layout using DCC++EX
Ok thanks
What? No coffee ??? (joking).
