Railfanning the Bennett RR: The Eugene Turns works Lake City

- Cletus and I caught the Eugene Turn working Lake City. We also made a quick side trip over to Wallace Junction and caught a coal train coming off the Olean Branch.
WARNING: It seems the Sarcoidosis in my lungs is going to be an issue when making these types of videos. During editing I noticed (and it annoyed me!) my breathing. To try and mitigate and still post this video, I reduced the sound level of the base clip and added in some gentle bird sounds to help hide "Darth Trainious" from the soundtrack. I may try totally muting the recorded sound and add in some train sounds on future attempts but that takes a lot of time and effort. I suggest you do NOT raise the volume- just enjoy a nice, quiet and relaxing video of some train action.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for taking the time to do this.!!! That was awesome!!! I love the background sounds and especially enjoyed the locomotive sounds being played at a low level, I think many people overlook the fact that when it comes to sound equipped locomotives that less is more, it gives more depth to the scene and sounds more natural. Excellent work!!!!
So relaxing to watch after work. What a wonderful layout. Such detail and care. I’ve watched those scenes grow and come together from my comfy chair and now get to enjoy the fruits of your labor from that same chair. Hats off to you sir.
Even though we're all suppressed by this terrible Covid-19 virus; It was really nice to see some ops on your railroad. You put so much work into it so everything looks as authentic as anyone could make it. Adding sound during operations is also impressive. Your landscaping talents looks so realistic and and leads the way in standards for the rest of us to follow. Happy railroading!
I guess I've seen all your videos, but this one, I think, shows your beautiful layout and handicraft like no other. Peace and health to you and your family.
Loved the video. The background sounds of the birds especially of the dove gives it the atmosphere of being early in the morning, very relaxing. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
the hoot the owl was making made me mute my TV to see if there was one outside my house!
Lovely steam loco , Thanks very much Regards Mike And a very safe and Happy Christmas to you and yours Cheers
Others have said it and I agree.....perfect. Beautiful scenery with lots of detail yet without clutter and chaos. Nice camera work too. I could actually keep the sound on and not get fatigued by loud non-stop diesel engine sounds. The trains don't run a light speed and you can take in the scene and details. Brilliant!
I never can get enough of your videos. The attention to detail is outstanding.
Haven't seen trains running for a while. Thanks for the treat. I'm waiting for the Westinghouse build. Keep the videos coming. Merry Christmas
Awesome stuff. I think this maybe my favourite part of the layout so far, I love the Sinclair gas station, it looks really well.
Great job love the choice of locomotives and great little ops session
superb modeling, layout and ops. love the old tractor sitting out back by the gas station. love that 1890 loco!
That was so great, thanks, loved it. And your layout looked amazing, just so much detail.......
Absolutely awesome, all your talents really came together on all the scenery.
Keep them coming👍👍👍
This is great fun to watch. Caught this o my laptop and enjoyed so much. Going to watch on my "smart TV" later. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Magnífico trabalho Parabéns. ..som dos pássaros em harmonia com a natureza. ..layout maravilhoso ....Merry Christmas 🎅🎅⛄🎄..José....Brasil.
Esse cabra é bombagaraÿ! A nota que ele investiu só em mato e folhagem é uma coisa impressionante...
Na verdade lá fora nos EUA. ..E verdadeiramente o paraíso para este Hobby. ..No requisito tudo eu falo ...Uma diversidade enorme de produtos. ..marcas e o principal preço. ..Feliz Natal 🎄⛄🎅
Portuguse? Obrigado por assistir e por favor fique seguro e saudável! (I hope Google Translate got this right!)
@@robbennett1965 English to portuguese? Yes. Mine was a deliberately untranslatable one. I tried it on Google Translate and came up with this nonsense: "That goat is bombagaraÿ! The note that he invested only in bush and foliage is an impressive thing ..." It makes no sense at all. What i said was: "This bloke is *ing good. Just the huge amount of dough he invested in weed and grass is amazing..." Sorry about that. Cheers from Brazil! Be safe!
Love the layout brother....its come a long way! The abandon building in Lake city is on point!
I really enjoy this type of video, when you post them. To think back to all the videos you have done, from the teddy bear fur hill side to the yard. some of the housing projects you have done, the bridge over pass to the field with the tractor. Just so cool to watch the train tie it all together, in something you can get lost in, as far as realism goes. All the time you spend in the detail, humor, and explanation of each video.
And you did so with this video as well, telling a story as we follow the daily job of the crew.
I just want to say thank you. you are an inspiration to myself, and I am sure to a few others as well.
Have yourself , and your family. A wonderful, safe and happy holiday season.
I love it dude, the weathering, the detail.- I have been grateful to still be employed during these harsh times working too much overtime and have negleted my start up project and watching your videos since months/ years ago. You got my juices flowing again with this video. I'm goin back to when you started up this project and recommend newbe others do the same.. Thank you for this channel, i miss it
Definitely one of the best online layouts I’ve seen. Good work, thanks for sharing.
I am glad you finally enjoying the fruit of your Lake City labor. I am certain you envisioned most in this spot of the layout. The planning is just as fun as the execution and now has come all together in this spot (almost). Our heads never rest and I am sure more details will come to add later. Great job, your videos are very informative and fun and is one of my few subscribers i look forward to his new content. Again great job sir
Nice to see running trains on the layout. Getting an area completed and then running is always fun. Good video.
Lake city came together so well. The field between the gas station and the abandoned building reminded me of the fields along the power lines I played in as a kid! Great scenery.
Fantastic and the whole scenario is really realistic. I can really identify with the time period and context, not from the USA/Pennsylvania, but from Norway. The long and heavy trains did not (and do not) come with coal, but with timber and the trains can be really long. In the 70s, it was common with a double set-up NSB Di3 diesel locomotives with a single upper headlight, for such transports. The Di3 locomotives are a German/Swedish variant of the General Motors EMD F7 locomotives with the EMD 567 V16 engines (licensed and built in the respective countries and hugely popular in northern Europe). The European version was symmetrical front/rear. Even today, 4-5 of these locomotives are still used on the Ofoten line where they haul iron ore 12 daily from Kiruna in Sweden to Narvik in Norway - and this is further north than Fairbanks in Alaska.
The time period is interesting (ie for your model building) because it announces a change between old and more modern times. Here in Norway this shift took a little longer and when I grew up in the 70's I saw much of the same as you try to express in your layout with really old buildings and infrastructure along with more sporadic modern designs like gas stations (they always came first and were in their own way modern landmarks) and fx the development of roads from gravel roads to asphalt roads. Thanks for sharing :)
Second day in a row of watching your videos! They are a big inspiration to me in the planning stage of my own layout.
Badass hyper-detailed model... Can't distinguish from real life! Wow this guy has some pretty extravagant stories,
Very good video. Would you be able to do a full layout tour at sometime as it has changed so much recently. Keep up the good work
Funtastic! There are actual trains moving freight.. So nice to see.. Naturally you leave us wanting more. Have a very Merry .
Stephen the railroad has come a long way man!! You have captured the New York state
features to a T!! Reminds me of N.E, Ohio where I lived in a town called Perry, Ohio where
the Pennsy and the New York Central had rails running from Buffalo area to Cleveland and
points beyond. Isn't model railroading fun? Oh well you have given me reason to get back to
my n scale layout of the Pennsy and Reading railroads in the rural area of Pottstown PA and points beyond. I'm modeling Pottstown from what a fellow model railroader who lived in the town has told me about it. With some of my own twists of embellishment to make it more fun to operate with set outs and run through's. Well keep up the great work!!
Great running session, good shunting moves..your fruits of your labour have paid off great scenes! Again service stn needs a vehicle on the hoist...lol
Great little story with excellent scenery.
Beautiful work and a beautiful video. Your layout has come along really nicely. Thanks for sharing. By the way, your background sounds drove my cat crazy. He’s still looking out the window...
Great to see some trains running - nice little exercise. Well done Rob.
Best wishes to all on the Benett RR over Christmas and through the New Year.
I wish this were played in Times Square on that gigantic screen.
Awesome video as always. Great job on the scene. And BTW, got to love NYC steam.
I like lake city ♥️ excellent very nice video.🏆🚂
Thank you .all i can say is wonderful, amazing and thank you
Wow that's steam engine really set the scene. And I finally got to see the shark nose run.
Great railfanning shots and the layout is coming on really well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family from my family here in New Zealand. Take care - Kevin
I can only begin to imagine what kind of proud it gives you to see something like that evolve and become something so great!! Congratulations sir, way to go!!! A true inspiration for all of us...
You're an absolute scene master, Rob! This is beautiful; and so realistic, just watching the crew work. Thanks for the inspiration!
That was a lot of fun. Well done. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Vincent! And thanks for watching.
Lake City has turned out amazing Rob, well done. And Merry Christmas to you and the family, and of course, don't forget Cletus. Lets hope 2021 is a bit better:)
Amen! I do hope 2021 is better for ALL of us. Thanks for watching.
Hahaha I love how you make up little stories on what the civilians are up to on your layout!
great video... Merry Christmas from New Zealand
Great camera works!
Lots of fun
So nice.... love seeing the layout in action. And the background sounds....wow.... it really makes you feel like you’re really there!!
Very well done ✅ perfect...
Beautiful work
Very nice rob happy christmas and a happy new year
Good session. Great angles for video
Outstanding!
WOW! My adjective vocabulary isn't extensive enough to adequately describe the level of realism and attention to detail you have achieved!
thank you for share detail operation on your detail beauty layout was great joy watching
That was great. Love your eye for the details and the scenery looks awesome. So real.
Brilliant! Really great to see some trains running - at realistic speeds too. Tanks a lot for sharing.
Best model railroad sound track ever!
Excellent effort. Your attention to the details is remarkable. Keep up the good work and great videos. Thanks for sharing.
It's nice just to play trains, great video would love to see more "railfan" videos of your layout. Thanks for sharing Merry Christmas
I will say this is my most favorite part of your entire layout just wow amazing fantastic unbelievable
Great stuff 👍
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Layout looks terrific! Nice little ops session. I'd just ask you turn up the volume on the locomotive a little, and maybe kill the bell. Keep up the great work!
Perfection Stephen. Well done. Nice to see some trains running.
The depth of scene is fantastic! Love getting to see some trains run with this level of detail and artistry in the scene. Can't wait for your next upload!!
You have a real feel for what looks right when it comes to scenery. Your layout is amazing!
This scene looks great you have taken your time and it has payed off nice to see some trains running and some switching 😀👍
Absolutely brilliant achievement!
Great Show, thanks! Trainster, Erie, PA!
Love the bird sounds!
Nice seeing some trains running on the layout! It's definitely time to enjoy some of the fruits of your labors. Lake City turned out beautifully! Nice operations challenge having to move the feed store flat car in order to get to the S.J.Yokel factory. And plenty of action with 4 or 5 different car spots to work. Hopefully 2021 will provide opportunities for you to host full operating sessions once again! Merry Christmas to you! And thanks for giving us all these wonderful video gifts throughout the year!
Rob, That was a Christmas treat! Watching your excellent rolling stock pass through the super scenes you have created on your layout was a delight!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and yours. Regards Stephen.
Good to see some train action in the new Lake City!
Love that Mikado. Looking good back in the 50s 👍
35 minutes - a contender for shortest video you've ever done! Great running session and nice angles on the footage. Happy Christmas to you and yours when it comes. Cheers.
This is wonderful to view.
truly amazing layout. thank you for sharing it with us. i always look forward yo your videos.
Looking good Rob! Very nice model railfanning!
You’re work always looks so real!! I wish I could be 1/4 as good as you
Great run section Stephen. But you have birds on the loose in your train room.. HaHaHA I've never seen your layout from this perspective, it looks amazing.
Wow they really do run trains on this railroad! Ha! Nice work Stephen, hope you and family are having a great holiday and Merry Christmas!
Thamk god there was no speed cameras back then because i know you had your foot to the floor to bring s these shots. Loved it.
Good job
Fantastic! Your layout is such an inspiration
great job! Bravo! i am so glad to see your layout finished , especially with Lake City. the tractors for sale at the feed store, the traffic lights working, the Sinclair station, etc.
i vaguely recall the 50s as i was just old enough for Kindergarten when they ended. the 50s is a little vague for me since i was not quite able to comprehend my world. i do recall some of the scenes like what is on your layout. i loved watching the train work, very interesting. perhaps, it would be in the budget of Yokel Electric to buy a locomotive for switching. it may be worthwhile bringing it before the board of directors. Maybe you should talk to Cletis. i never saw Wallace Junction complete and then in operation as well.
i think Cletis and Joe Yokel should run for mayor of Lake City. Where's the lady sitting in the outhouse LOL)?
Sinclair brings back childhood memories. I remember having a toy green Brontosaurus like the Sinclair brontosaurus. I watched it being molded. Perhaps somebody could buy the old warehouse and build a lumber company in its place.
I love the background noise of the Mourning Dove, a Cardinal and a crow. I think i also heard a dog barking, i was so absorbed into the layout i didn't notice the distractions like the ceiling lights, etc. i imagine it is stuff that has to be overlooked and i have learned to ignore them and use my imagination.
Merry Christmas!!!
Rob, You're talents are off the charts in both scenery and modeling !!!!! Simply Amazing Work !!!!! I tip my hat to You, Sir !!!! Question, where's Fred the dog 🐕 that runs with Clitus Snow ? And where did he park the 18 wheeler ?😊
Love every second of this greatly none video.
Merry Christmas to You and Your Family. All the best in the upcoming New Year!!
A really nice video Rob, lots of nice sightlines for catching the action. Your attention to detail really shows when filming switching moves, very realistic to watch. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Something you might want to take a look at is Norm Charbonneau's CZcams channel, it's 3 rail O Scale, but his videos and scenery are amazing. Be safe and Merry Christmas.
Sam- I agree about Norm's channel- I watch his videos and his work is spectacular. Once the videos start the fact that it is 3 rail simply disappears. Fantastic modeling!
I for one appreciate the "Wizards' Breath" in the background. Knowing how it was earned should humble any whiners. Makers' Mark if you will...
Mad Props to Cletus for the chasework that day! 🤟🏽🐻
Rob that is a great video about the local doing its work. You need to start detailing it now and it will pop. I think that the gas station need a old race car by the old tractor and kids need to be playing at the abandoned shed with a cop talking to them. That would be cool.
You need to hire someone with a flamethrower to take care of those damn birds!
Merry Christmas to you and your family (two- and four-legged).
Now THAT would be a cool scene- a maniacal dude flamethrowing birds! Something I bet Luke Towan could do. Maybe a guy in the back of one of the RC trucks riding around spewing flaming death upon the annoying feathered freaks! (But wait- there go all my trees as well!!)
Beautiful video... Very well done. Shows off all that excellent work of yours over the past two months... Might add to the realism to have the traffic light turn red when the train crosses the tracks... Can that be done?
And I take back what I said about your German building in the previous video... The weathering and details around it ties it in nicely...
That would be a big plus.. I thought he was going to do that... I can be done I'm sure ..
Cleetus has killer work ethic.
I like the Mourning Doves call
I just love Lake City! Are there any homes for sale, as I am thinking of relocating. Looks like a great place to retire and watch Cletus from my porch.

Hi Rob and a Merry Christmas to you.🎄
Nice to see you having some fun with the layout, just "playin' trains". This is when all that hard work pays off. You've got some great spots for photography and everything looks fantastic. All the details in the scenery and infrastructure have come together beautifully and you have a thoroughly convincing scene there.
I've commented before about the native bird-life; it really does add a little something to these views. Does the tweeting get played on the layout, or just on the video? For all it's effective, I could imagine operators getting fed-up with it on a long ops session.😁
The only time when the "realism" slipped, a wee bit, was you two driving like maniacs back to Lake City. It's maybe different over there but, here in Scotland, it's only the 𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑚 𝑔𝑢𝑦𝑠 🚂 who do that. We diesel photographers 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 drive carefully, with courtesy and consideration for fellow road-users - honest!!😂
Thanks for taking us with you.
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
Dougie- for this video I added the bird wounds in editing. I do have a Dreamplayer on the layout that can play background sounds- birds, dog barking, airplane overhead, etc. BUT- you are correct it needs to be carefully balanced, or it does get annoying. Similar to sound equipped locos- fun and neat to listen to, but for a longer Ops Session even this can get on your nerves! Some people love it, most seem to like to run with sound but at a low volume, and they tend not to use the bell, whistle, etc. as would the prototype.
@@robbennett1965 Not familiar with Dreamplayers but I've heard a few layouts with ambient sounds at exhibitions. The volume level is 𝑠𝑜 important or, as you say, it'll get on everyone's nerves. Never thought of "a dog barking"; that could be quite a cool effect, as long as you remember to put a dog somewhere relevant on the layout.😁
Cranking out the vids!
I would love to see your rail road I live near Pittsburgh
Looking GOOD! Is the premis that this is shared trackage (Pennsy and NYC?). This SCENE really looks RIGHT. (natch, Mr. Detail Maestro)
Wow.
Anything Pennsy, I love! Are you going to add working crossing gates to the street scene, just back of the traffic lights?
One question: are the bird sounds an effect for video or are they actually on your layout and if so what method did you use?
LOL, yeah just some sounds I found somewhere on the Net. Wouldn't be cool to have real HO scale birds flying around? I bet it would drive my cats CRAZY.
@@robbennett1965 LOL, yes I'm sure it would.
