Switching Action at the Grain Elevator
I needed to move some rolling stock around to get the SD9 put from the back track for upcoming maintenance, so I figured why not record the movements and let you all enjoy some switching action!
You'll see the CNW SW1200 switcher, CNW SD9, and a quick view of CN SD40-2.

zhlédnutí 731Před 14 dny
Hello everyone! Due to a busy (and sick) July there aren't any videos of model rail fanning from the layout. So I thought I'd give you the best best thing, a current tour of the layout! I hope you like what you see and get some ideas for your own model railroads! As always feel free to leave a comment and any subscription helps grow the channel! (Plus subscribers get extra perks!)

Hello everyone and welcome back! The 1971 movie Duel by Steven Spielberg is one of my favorites, and I've looked for years to find a model of the Peterbilt 281 truck from the movie for my layout.

Nothing on the lighting.
I talk about lighting in there, do you need help with anything for lighting or questions I can answer?
This was great to watch! What replacement wheels do you use for these rivarossi cars? And where can I get one of those drill tools you used?
Thank you and great questions! The replacement wheels I used are from Kadee, they are 33" smooth back side. Part number 520 code 110 wheels. Walthers also makes replacement wheels but the Kadee's look a little better. You can also use 36" wheels depending on thr passenger car youre working on. Any local hobby shop usually has them. Or you can look online at places like Lombard Hobbies or Model Train Stuff. For the truck tuner, Amazon actually has them last I looked. Just search for Micromark Truck Tuner. But Lombard Hobbies also has them. Let me know if you have any questions! I'm happy to chat!
@@joes2fst4umodelrr Wow, thank you for responding so quick! I was actually referring to the had drill you used to make a new hole for the coupler screw? But anyway, I appreciate the response. I’ve saved this video for future use.
Oh that! These are ones from HobbyistHaven.com and they're pretty affordable and nice. You can order a variety pack or multi packs of a specific size. I think I paid around $12 for the set.
Here's the exact link, you can pick your sizes or range of sizes from the drop down: hobbyisthaven.com/collections/drilling-tools/products/0-1-to-1-2mm-carbide-micro-drill-bits-sets?variant=44240262693153
looks good, did you use any certain settings on the 3D printer? I use a Anycubic printer.
Thank you! I used the Anycubic Mono 4k for this, the main thing is just about 3 second layer time, 8 initial layers at 35 seconds each. And print at an angle. I should've used more supports on the longer one with the mini crane on the back because it warped a little, but overall not bad. If you have any problems printing them let me know and I'd be happy to help!
Great update! I love the food truck court. We have that same popcorn stand.
Thank you! Yeah the popcorn stand is what started the whole food truck court for me, I found the two trailer kit from Walter's shortly after, and then the two food trucks were released from them as well. How's your layout doing?
@@joes2fst4umodelrr making progress and hoping to get a lot done this week after being out of town for a while.
That's cool! What are the latest projects?
@@joes2fst4umodelrr we have a few recent videos on refurbishing some older houses, refinishing our church scene and also working out the backdrop area around where we are going to put a waterfall and river.
Sweet I'll come by and check them out!
Illinois?
Nope, just my HO Layout! :)
Looks amazing. Can you show us how you 3D-print a H0 vehicle? Are you using some blueprints you find online, what 3D printer are you using? Keep up the good work!
Thank you! There's actually a part 1 to this video where I show all of that! I usually find my designs online for free at thingiverse.com and in this case I'm using an Anycubic Mono 4k resin printer. It's fairly affordable and they go on sale quite often. If you don't see part 1 let me know and I'll find the link and post it in a comment for you!
That is a beautiful locomotive you have support our troops wow that's beautiful locomotive 🚂 helpful video thank you I like this way to I've been doing it this way I just haven't been doing it for a very long time months and months years and years but I've been doing it with a Q-tip rubbing alcohol on this rocks and running my Ho Dc trains over it
Thank you for the feedback and kind words! Yeah I have tried a lot of methods myself too, even tried expensive options and nothing seemed to work better than this! Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to chat anytime!
Nice !
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video! What is the thickness of your blue foam?
Thank you! 1 inch thick is what I chose for this! But it's up to you, if you have anything over 1 inch you probably don't need fully plywood underneath either you should be able to get away with just a frame to hold the foam board.
@@joes2fst4umodelrr Thank you!
@@stevedrake360 you're welcome!
Awesome!!
Thank you!
Your health and well-being plus life situations should come first and foremost. Take care and we all will be waiting for your return good sir!. :)
Thank you I really appreciate that! I will be back with new videos soon! Thank you for coming to the channel!
Nice video. Locomotive sounds great 😊
Thank you very much!
Very attractive GE dash 9 locomotive model, I really liked the C&NW dash 9 locomotives as they had an interesting paint scheme and had a unique sounding horn.
I agree with you! They were definitely one of my all time favorites!
Get well soon, videos can wait!
Thank you!!
So much fun to see! These are great! Thanks joe.
Thank you!
Get well soon Joe!
Thank you!!
Great results! Thanks for sharing.

Good info and post. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I just came across your video .... Subscribed!!! 👍
Thank you! Welcome in!
I have an atlas ho master silver series gp40 that I have no idea how to get into the trucks to clean the pickup contacts on
Atlas can be a pain, so from what I know of those the trucks have a bottom cover over them that has 4 clips (2 on each side). Gently pry those up just a hint so they life over the clips, if you do it on one side usually you can just take the whole cover off without doing it on the other side. Once that cover is off the truck side frames slide offend you'll see the pickups that are on the axle ends. If you're not in a big hurry about it I'd be happy to make a video on it for you here in the next week or two.
Very neat run by!
Thank you!!
Many thanks sir ❤
You're very welcome!
Thank You Very much.
You're welcome!
Hello! I think I know the answer to this question, but I want to be certain. The screws you use to fasten down the speaker-- are those the same two screws that were in the speaker enclosure? Thank you!
Hello! Yes, they are. Depending on the locomotive you're working on, there will either be screws in the dcc kit for it or screws already in the frame of the locomotive you can use.
How many drops of mega for a BLI train
So in UP 844, I'm putting about 6-10 drops in per stack. In the CN diesel, I'm using 10 drops. If you're unsure, start out with 5 drops. Do a quick, sharp blow, then add 2 more and another blow. If it looks too full (you see fluid at the top that won't go down) use the corner of a paper towel or napkin to soak up a little.
What about a 6812 bli one t1 4-8-4
Paragon 4
Start with 6 to 8 drops, make sure to give it a good quick sharp blow inti the stack afterwards to get any air bubbles out. Then if you notice the smoke starting ti get less visible add another 6 or so drops.
I bet that sounds nice!
Keep on going with DCC n Sound technology it's fun n worth investing money into everyday
I agree! It makes a world of difference on your layout!
Nice job!
Thanks!
Nice run bys. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Nice!!
Thanks!
Did the rear red light come on when you turned the Mars light on?
No that's actually a different function button. I think it's F20 or F24, one of those two.
Very impressive and handsome model of UP 844, I hope to purchase one of these models for myself in the future when I have enough money available, I really hope that BLI releases a model of UP 844 in the "greyhound" paint scheme at some point in the future.
Thank you very much! I hope they do too! I'm super impressed with the BLI locomotives in general and the details they put in are amazing!
Great job!!! How did you do the windows?
Thank you! I have clear styrene I custom cut them out from, then thr two newer ones I tinted with some stuff I have! I gotta look up what the name of it is.
What is it? Vape juice?
JT's Mega Smoke fluid. I think it's a petroleum based liquid. You can look it up from factorydirecthobbies.com
Bought both of mine back in January. Love them
I am with you there! Super nice pieces of equipment!
These are great kits. I do a couple of things differently. I use clear silicone to attach the weights, as I have had weights bust loose when using super glue. I pre tap the coupler and truck screw holes. I replace the wheelsets with metal wheelsets, which is just a preference of mine. The other tool in my arsenal is a chisel blade for the xacto knife. I also add weight to NMRA RP's. These are the new Athearn "Blue Box" kit!
Those are some great things you do there! I also add metal wheels to some, but not if u don’t rub them that often. I agree though these are definitely my new version of the blue bod kits! Plus I don’t feel bad wearing these verses a more expensive piece of rolling stock.
We bought some of their root beer "flavor" liquid for our American Flyer and like it. It definitely took a while to get the old fluid worked out, and I'm still not sure it is all worked out.
Yeah I am surprised at how long it does take for the old fluid to get worked out! They have so many good ones too! Had a friend give me the popcorn one that’s pretty good too.
Omg love
Thank you!
Very excellent video
Thank you!
Thanks for doing the comparison. JT’s mega steam looks like the winner.
You’re welcome! I agree on that one with you! I’m pretty happy with it so far!
Thats pretty realistic! Thanks for sharing Joe!!
You’re welcome!
Nice review and demo.
Thank you I appreciate your kind words!
Love this
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. I really liked the farm scene.
Thanks for sharing. I noticed details in the video that I didn't see at the train show. Lots of fun though.
Yeah I keep noticing stuff too!
When was that? I live in Iowa, and can never find updates of Iowa events for model railroading. Not that there are many.
It was this last weekend, I heard about it as a last minute thing. There’s an upcoming swap meet in the Hobby Lobby parking lot in April, I think the 16th. But I agree it’s always hard to find any, especially since the Kate Shelley Division isn’t doing it anymore either.
@@joes2fst4umodelrr Where are you find that stuff. You are learning more than me.
Hobby haven told meme when I was there last.
@@joes2fst4umodelrr I haven't been over there in a few months. That's probably why.
Yep they haven’t been advertising it for long.
Fun video!
Thank you!
Marvelous!
Thank you!
Awesome I love the Engine & stack Containers.👍🛤️🛤️
