Thanks Logan.

Danke. Sogar für mich als CN-Fan ist es in Kanada schwierig. CN hat die meisten seiner Geräte angepasst. Ich kann alle Standardmodelle kaufen, muss sie dann aber für meine CN-Flotte umbauen. :)

@@CanadianrailroadsCa Danke für die Info. Ich bekomme nicht mal Standmodelle in Deutschland. Einzig Piko baut amerikanische Fahrzeuge. Aber halt US Modelle, keine aus Canada. Ich selber habe nur eine sehr kleine Anlage mit kleinen Zügen der DB ( West Germany) und DR ( GDR).

@@ingomoba1001 Einer der schönsten Aspekte dieses Hobbys ist, dass es weltweit beliebt ist und man die Layouts und die Kreativität aller sehen kann. Ich bin über meinen Hauptkanal „Canadian Railroads“ bei Ihnen angemeldet.

Thanks Bricks. SBU's are on my list, so what do you figure? Maybe ten more years. :P

Thanks Bricks. Hopefully the 1:1 don't disappear on us. :O

Thanks John. There might be a major op. tomorrow. :)

Thanks Dave. I wondered where it was off to. :P

Thanks Joe.

Thanks Sean.

Thanks. :)

Thanks. I built my own mounts for this project, but I did use CamPac's on my SD75I's and SD40-2w.

Thanks Sean. You made me go count. :P I currently have 16 custom locomotives if I include the slug.

Thanks David.

Yes, easy to use and great sound files.

Thanks Ingo MoBa.

Thanks Sean. Yes, they are both equipped with RailPro sound.

Thanks Dave. I hope you have a great Fourth of July. I'm guessing you'll be running a special train. :)

Thanks John.

Thanks Bricks. Now I just need the rain to go away long enough to have a big op.. :)

Thanks Andrew. The 2648 went into service a few weeks ago, and I hope to have a video posted this week of them running together.

Hi Smee. I use a Silhouette Cameo to cut paint stencils into sticker paper. The markings are all painted.

@@CanadianrailroadsCa looking good to me, very nice, ty for answer

Thanks Zenon Trains & Trucks. Some year I'd like to do one of the blue BC Rail Dash 9's.

Very nice. :)

Thank you Bricks. :)

Love the under the bridge Take off 😎👍 Nice job brother

@@DavesTrainsAndAutomobiles Thanks Dave.

I certainly do, or six. :) It's on my list which seems to be growing instead of shrinking. :O

Thanks Ryan.

Thanks Sean. I have to deal with about three rough spots, but overall it is still in good shape. In the next week or two I'll be ordering some clay so that I can get back to work on the upper level. :O

Thanks Dave. I'll have to post some better footage once the yard turns green.

Thanks stayloaded. Wow, I responded twice from my main channel, but I guess I'm banned from commenting on my own videos. :O

Thanks Stayloaded. :)

You bet. 3 of my 4 SD60f's. They still need their side ladders. Some year. :)

Yes, and yet my workbench is still full. :O

You're welcome John.

Thanks Sean. I know I let you down with the lack of green tape. I'll try to do better with the next one. :P

Thanks AikenkneesRailway. Next winter I think I'll focus on boxcar builds. :)

They were shelf queens for a number of years, so they needed to blow the dust off. :)

Thanks Franz-Peter. Four of the cars still need their flag and Canada logos. I use a Cameo Silhouette to cut paint stencils into sticker paper. That's how I apply markings to all of my rolling stock. USA Trains hinted they were going to make an F40PH, so I'm hoping that will lead the train some day. I'm in western Canada, and the GE locomotives only operate in the east.

@@CanadianrailroadsCa Thanks for the explanation. I hope you do not mind a couple of follow up questions: Do you do the cutting by hand, or with a plotter? How do you remove the factory print on the cars? And how did you do the blue stripe? 🙂 A USA Trains F40PH in Via colours would surely be great. Do you know why Via does not use the GEs on the long distance trains? With the Chargers now on the corridor, I would have expected that they are cascaded on.

@@franz-peterkayser722 No problem. My Cameo Silhouette does all the cutting for me. The stencils can only be used once, so I can't imagine having to do it by hand. I use 1500 grit sandpaper to carefully remove the old markings. I tried using alcohol, but had no luck with it. As for the stripe, I carefully sand off the old road name, mask it and spray using Rust-Oleum gloss deep blue. I use school bus yellow for the VIA logo. ( the four coaches were Pennsylvania Congressional cars, and are the best VIA match. The remaining four cars were Canadian Pacific. ) I'm not sure why VIA doesn't use GE's in the west. I guess they have lots of the F40PH available as they are being replaced in the east. They're still a good locomotive.

Thanks. I was a little nervous the first time I cut up a locomotive, but I've grown to be pretty comfortable with it.

Thanks Anthony. I was lucky enough to get to crawl all over the locomotives and rolling stock with a tape measure before I retired.

Thanks Anthony. These were my first locomotives equipped with RailPro. Their sound files are great.

Thanks Anthony. It's not something I've done at this point as my yard is a big construction zone. Maybe in a few years when the upper level is complete.

Thanks Bricks. It's definitely making things more interesting. I just have to be careful nothing falls off the cliff at the north end. 😮😛

Thanks AikenkneesRailway.

Hi John. Hopefully this is the last phase of track work. Hoping for a 2025 completion of the upper mains. 😎

Thanks Mike. No, I'm going to keep them as separate systems. The only switches on the top level will be the crossovers on the deck. I imagine it will be at least two more summers before trains will run on the top level, but once complete, I'll be able to have four trains running between the two levels.

Thanks TTH.

Thanks Christian.

Thanks Matt.

Thanks Johnny. Yes, I completed 6 more of them this summer growing the train to 13. It will be 20 cars when complete.

@@CanadianrailroadsCa Well made gondolas, congrats! I have also made one since they don’t sell g scale long gondolas, but it is very time consuming to build one, I think I’ll settle for the one I made for now, LOL.

@@johnnypizarro4956 I certainly know that feeling. My last seven cars haven't been touched in months, and I currently don't even want to think about them. :)
