@@jasonschoenmann2308 thank you very much. The gp60 is one of my favorites too. Im working on a unboxing video of my new fef-3 right now its a 45lbs engine. I have 30 year of collecting. I bought a lot of collection and sold what I didn't want to end up with a lot of it for next to nothing. If not for that I wouldn't have anywhere near what I have.
I've run 100+ car trains plenty of times but only on flat, higher speed mainline, modular layouts. Never on low speed trackage and not around twisty curvy and *never* over grades. Just the flat track is anxiety inducing with trains that long Good work!
The difference between an artist and someone who plays with toy trains has been defined. This is the most impressive creation I’ve seen in 58-years; scale speeds, consist greater than 15-cars pulled by 3-engines, sound that doesn’t sound like a video game and a cohesive geographical appearance - well done young man, I suspect there is some good parenting behind all of this..?
Hi Josh! Great video! I can just imagine the crew in the lead locomotive keeping tight on the brake holding back the weight of that heavy train to prevent a runaway. Your layout is awesome!! Love the videos!! Have an awesome day!!
Such a beautiful model railroad. This video shows the quality of work from track to cars to weathering... That's a LONG train running a lot of curves and no issues... Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Holy cow. I would say you're a brave man, but knowing how much work went into this layout, it's not really surprising that this worked out well. Still. Impressive as all get out.
Nice set-up been watching for years when it was just benchwork wood, Not crazy for the Fake added sounds but each there own, understood Model Railroading effect but Not Realistic in anyway shape or form. Still Really Nice-looking layout got going on. DPU's are on their way-out PA here don't even use DPU's on mainline anymore unless if it's a massive load running up-grade or on HSC, mainline 140 cars at most, thinking NS learned their lesson with the Ohio State derailment and Bethlehem PA head-on collision aka Steel City.
Quite a feat, sir! An easy explanation could be that a lengthy line closure on another district (Radford, perhaps?) necessitated the re-routing of trains. :)
Fantastic layout and a fun test of DCC and your track plan! Your channel showcases some of the very best videos of the modern era and the model railroading hobby. Hopefully new hobbyists also find them inspiring. BTW, if you are curious to see an in-progress home layout with a "100 rolling stock" train pulling up a grade, here is the link: ruclips.net/video/WDkCULNJy1k/видео.html
Hey Josh, what happened to your video on how you made your AC44C6Ms? I've been wanting to try making one myself, and was hoping to use it for reference.
How could it derail, we were at restricted speed the whole trip!! I know its cool. I hadabout 78 cars and 5 engines around my living room with real wide turns. @50+ mph it really starts to sound like a waterfall!
Very impressive outstanding layout and incredible scenery a real bit of eye candy for the modeler I’m building a layout now people don’t realize the amount of time and effort this stuff takes
Fantastic layout with incredible authenticity. Am truly amazed at the power of those locomotives lugging 100 trucks. One observation, not a criticism, the train would be further enhanced with the inclusion of a DPU.
Does anybody else’s wallet quake when you see that many cars
Lol. I got a video of 100 car and 167 car in g scale on my channel. I'm hoping to get a 200+ car train someday. I have the cars just need to set it up

Thank you for the video. (I'm still parked and waiting at the crossing!)
I always am so blown away by how realistic people can make these Locomotives look
Oh yea
Best part about this train is that all the cars and locomotives are weathered! Excellent stuff. The block of LPG tankers looks particularly nice.
I definetely agree. I love the way that the load of the first wagons looks. Like real.
Fact is: When I see that bridge, i start to feel like my whole train would be on the floor.
Now run it back up the hill.
Yeah, that might be just a scoosh tougher ... if not impossible 🤔
@@tomclark4654 Yeah I know. I was just kidding.
Make sure you have an SD70ACu set for that one lol
I see that the precision scheduled railroading bug has bit NSmodeler24
418 axles, I expected some DPUs
Lol
You should have some dummy mid train helpers
Please, no real Norfolk Southern derailment on here. And that is so cool
It's a good thing I didnt put the center-beams up front! ;)
@@nsmodeler24 lol
@@nsmodeler24hahahaha, I remember when you Did do that before 😂
Nice to see so many cars run curves and grades and do it smoothly.
Let’s see a 100 car loaded coal drag… live coal loads only add to the fun
Oh lord... you better be supplying the vacumn!
I should probably just get the vacuum out and ready to go before I try it haha

Simply fantastic !!!
Layout, trains, scenery everything is just to enjoy

That model is incredible.

Your layout is awesome!! Love the videos!!
Have an awesome day!!
Are you telling me that 3 engines pulled 100 cars?
Yep ... of course it was downhill!
Why have you not been in MR magazine yet? Amazing
Those sharp curves must create a tremendous amount of drag on your train, like curves do on real trains.
Such a beautiful model railroad. This video shows the quality of work from track to cars to weathering... That's a LONG train running a lot of curves and no issues... Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Hope you have metal couplers, very cool👍
Love that Southern auto car on the rear!

That is so nice. Prototypical speed.
Every grown up kids dream....
The ultimate railfanning layout! I love the weathered freight cars and the nice looking BNSF unit!
Thanks!
That is one long train, with no hic-ups.....Cool.

Yes my wallet’s quaking and so’s my outdoor electricity meter
Check out todd treasters n scale collection 22,000 freight cars and 2800 locomotives
All I can say is,,Excellent video. Always enjoy your videos.
PSR in a nutshell😅
Long time ago a .modeler said if you can run long and heavy over your normal flawlessly, then your track is good.
I always Lo❤E seeing your home layout in action , definitely one of my top favorites...
Cheers !
Dynamics are working hard! Keep an eye on the air pressure!
Great Video. I was wondering how many engines can be consisted in DCC. It would be great to see a DPU in the middle of one of these long trains.
From Digitrax itself ...
Advanced Consist Addressing Disabled N/A 001 - 127 Advanced Consist Addressing Enabled Forward 129 - 255
You should do more ops videos like locals and stuff
Thanks for the rec! I have several more like that filmed and will be getting to them soon!
Cool
WTH. No DPUs. 😢 Great Video. Needs some DPUs though. 100 cars Needs extra power. Just Saying 🇺🇸

FANTASTIC !!!
Beautiful layout and sweet train..I'm working on something s scale myself.
How could it derail, we were at restricted speed the whole trip!! I know its cool. I hadabout 78 cars and 5 engines around my living room with real wide turns. @50+ mph it really starts to sound like a waterfall!
Good video 📹, by your diesel shed is a long line of piping with locomotives parked either side. What is that piping for, refueling?? Cheers.
So Freaking awesome!! Jealous!! The graffiti on the cars wow!!
Thanks!
Beautiful layout in every way ! - Just out of curiosity though, how many cars can you pull up that grade? Can you use mid-train helpers ?
Very impressive outstanding layout and incredible scenery a real bit of eye candy for the modeler I’m building a layout now people don’t realize the amount of time and effort this stuff takes
Hi, the squel sound for the curves is from the sound decoder of the loco or other source? Thanks
Beeeeautiful. The only thing missing: smoke from the diesels. Can you manage that?
Martin Jennifer Clark Eric Perez Donald
Awesome! I could watch something like that all day!
That’s real as gets there love long mixed manifest trains
Very nice! Smooth, realistic operation. Thanks for posting.
I think it is gonna to take about 3 SD80MACs to pull those
It would be chasing its tail on the bottom level. How did you get it to traverse the hill? It didn't work in the past
Very nice, a lot of cash and time in that set up for sure. Wow Impressive
love this, im more into british layouts but this is amazing, my layout cant even handle a three coach train lol
I'm already waiting for the old red caboose
I thot for sure there would be distributed power,
Very nice, thanks for sharing. Dave
I don’t even own 100 cars let alone being able to run 100 car train 😂
what would happen if you went faster hmm and it would be fun to stop and go and mess with the slack
Awesome doesn't begin to describe...
scaletrains or brass locos? great detail and weathering!
Where is this? I've been to several model train museums.
What made you all want to do code 100 on the mains?
You have a beautiful layout. Keep it up
How do you unweather a NS if don’t like weathering
you guys are crazy :D :D i hope you have had a fantastic OP-session together. cheers
If you are going DOWNHILL, you would be going EAST OUT OF ASHEVILLE TOWARDS OLD FORT. Your layout signage is backwards.
There is a steady uphill grade East out of Asheville to Ridgecrest. There it begins descending to Old Fort.
Josh, it's a very nice video. Thanks
HO Scale is my true favorite
Fantastic layout with incredible authenticity. Am truly amazed at the power of those locomotives lugging 100 trucks. One observation, not a criticism, the train would be further enhanced with the inclusion of a DPU.
Thanks! We enjoy modeling the trains we grew up seeing, pre-DPU era. But every once in a while we definitely add one in for fun!
One of the PSR moments of all time
Great video as always.
Ok let’s see the train go up grade.
🌹🎇🌹King of the road🎇🌹🎇
Damn this was cool! Thanks!
And only 3 trains pulling it, I'd need all 5 of my crappy HO-scale trains (and probably more) to pull 100 cars
Hi NSmodeler24 & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks NSmodeler24 & Friends Randy
That was fantastic.
Only thing that could’ve made it more prototypical is putting that pair of empty center beams closer to the headend 😂.
We learned out lesson on that one!! haha
How does it not fall off on a curve??
WOW WOW WOW !!! That is a BIG train for that layout. I would’ve loved to seen a video on breaking that train down in the yard !!! 😀😀👍🏼
You have such an amazing layout and I love the heritage 2 BNSF GEs
Great video, as always. I love the sound effects you added. Incredibly realistic. The Luke Towan intro was a nice touch.
Incredible....
Real nice layout
Is the sound from a real recording or the model itself? Thankyou
Not 200 cars? 🤪
Where do you get these trains I really want one because there so realistic
Our go-to is lombard hobbies! Highly recommended and let them know I sent you over!
When does it end?
Geeez, all that train and no DPU,,, Nice video,,
Wow!
only 3 locomotives, Incredible.
Josh how long did it take you to assemble that train great skills on not straight lining
Very nice video.
Nice
