A railfan video is never too long. That EMD DDA40X is intriguing. It must truly be a sight in person. Oddly enough, scale models are available at decent prices. Thanks for all of the videos this year, looking forward to what 2018 will bring.
My computer sure thinks videos can get to be too long. :D That DD40 is a beast, Genesis did a fantastic job with it. Glad you enjoy these and yes, looking forward to 2018 as well. Thanks!
Hello Jason; as always, I like and enjoy to watch yours video and all of these wonderful material that you exposed in each video. Thanks and congratulation one more time.
Jason, love all your videos, but especially the locomotive shop videos. Lots of power on this layout and it's cool to see this power moving around the shop areas. However, I do have 1 new year 2018 request...... Can we get some Illinois Central Gulf and some MoPac love , soon? Being from Shreveport La, along with KCS and SP, these 2 railroads were the railroads of my area and youth. MoPac and ICG were big players here and often I would see a great mix up of all 4 railroads sharing power and switching each other's yards. ICG, SP, MoPac and KCS mixing it up together was a sight to behold. Miss those days.
Thank you, glad you enjoy these. I don't have any MoPac or ICG of my own. However we do have a couple other members who model them. Their areas of the layout aren't like my facility here, but I'll see about filming some of their equipment. The one who has the ICG is a huge fan of that railroad so he has quite a bit along with a lot of the associated railroads from their history. It could take some time to do, but I'll see what can be done.
There's no doubt this railroad empire is an incredible achievement and has more fleet locomotives per ton mile than most actual railroads, but I am curious. This pertains to the engine house and locomotive servicing / fuel areas, why are details missing? These areas are classified as Blue Signal areas, isolated from main rail / yard traffic by derails & blue signals. I worked in a locomotive service facility some years ago. As seen in most videos , these details are omitted, I would think they'd offer a challenge to a modeler who has an eye for such exceptional details as they have created building, sign lighting , train signal lights, yard jacks, street lights, railroad crossings etc. But again I say it's a most impressive display, much more organized than most real railroads.
Sorry, but, where did you get those 3 pass cars? The 2 tiny ones and the hi hood? I never seen those for sale anywhere. Are they still available or did you kitbash? Thanks
All three are Walther's cars and no, they are not in production anymore. Haven't been for many years if I'm not mistaken. The two small ones are the Oscar and Piker set, and the other one is a track dynamometer car. You might be able to find them online somewhere, no promises though.
Quick quesion Jason, At 6:19, what are those orange things called at the end of the track? i have european buffers on my layout and saw those and i like those alot better.
I forget what the brand name is, but they are called wheel stops. They are a soft metal that I painted safety orange then weathered. I use CA glue to secure them in place.
Hey Jason, just wandering do you have any ICE or DMNE modeled engines, my dad use to work for these railroads by Davenport before they got bought by CP just would like to see those blue and yellow engines on your channel? Nice vid
Thanks, appreciate you watching. To answer your question though, no, I don't have either of those railroads. With them being part of the CP now, Dad would be more likely to end up with them at some point, he's got some CP equipment.
Rail fan Jason he would but he quit when he heard the CP bought out the train company so he never technically worked for the CP and had anything to do with them besides a lawsuit when he broke his neck jumping away from a derailing train down a rocky cliff. It’s fine I just liked the color scheme on those trains regular size but I wanted to see what they would look like as a model but it’s all good
The club in Odessa, MO right off I-70. It's at mile marker 37 east of Kansas City. The club's Facebook page is linked in the description, if you go there, you'll see a satellite image of that area and directions on how to get there.
I love the diesel shops on your club’s layout! There’s just so much different and exciting diesel power in your shed!

The white hopper and tank car at 1:49 could both use weathering

Great Videos Keep up the great work Wishing you a Very Safe And Happy 2018!!
Thanks, appreciate it. Hope you have a great 2018 too!
I LOVE long snoot SD40-2's
Where did they get that passenger car that is really snall in the forst part of the video
I always wonder what manufacturers the locomotives are
There's Kato, Athearn, Athearn Genesis, Intermountain, ScaleTrains... pretty much all the big ones.
Super cool
Thanks!
A very good video dude, well done. :)

Actually, the brand might be Precision Scale. I would think an internet search would be easy enough to find them.
I like the piker and oscar (beginning of video)

I'm most impressed by your ballast. It gives the layout a really nice look, but what kind is it ?
Hello awesome layout do you have to be a member of the club to come in??
The club is open to the public whenever we have members there. Usually Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Thank Railfan Jason, I drive a semi and go right past there quite often
Great vid. But I think some of the cars and motors could use some weathering. Imo.
R.I.P CONRAIL
Jason where is the club layout located, if I ever get down your neck of the woods I would like to visit
The club in Odessa, MO right off I-70. It's at mile marker 37 east of Kansas City. The club's Facebook page is linked in the description, if you go there, you'll see a satellite image of that area and directions on how to get there.
AJ Raaum well I would like to go visit to because what I’ve seen is really cool and a lot of work went into it I would like to see it in person
What does KCE stand for?
Kansas City Eastern.
Railstalker DVD fdsss
7:08 Holy crap, do you think they have enough power in one unit there?! Hahaha
I admit, we have an obscene amount of power. It's a sickness. :D
The red engine unlmost say kfc foods
