How has Jeff's locomotive project progressed?

I have really enjoyed listening and watching the videos you have so graciously posted. Thank you so much for sharing. How was the March Convention? Haven't heard anything nor seen any videos taken.

I'm working on a build of the Carrabasset depot in it's as built look with the board siding, pre-clapboard. I drafted the structure and did a quick photoshop cardstock model with full color. Alas I come to the interior and need to figure what interior walls there would be. Presently I just have a full length platform and otherwise open interior. I know the chimney was right behind that window and was probably some sort of loft or second floor. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks in advance

Очень красиво!!!👋👋👋

FIY: the font of the "ERIE" inside the diamond on the standard gauge boxcar is post 1941. Before 1941 the font looked like this: www.rr-fallenflags.org/el/frt/erie78500adb.jpg

Outstanding modeling Dan. Steam engines with snow scenes in Strong are great. i will be interested in your process for building and modifying the Atlas turn table. Following along on your website . Thank you David for video.

Thanks for hosting and posting, Dave.

Can Pete do a clinic on the shorting of the #3? If he wants I can send him a Bachmann Forney to show how it's done.

Hi, Can we get Pete's presentation posted on the group site? It is really great.

Great discussion Gary and David. Great input from Chris McChesney as well. It must have been a great time traveling with you guys back in the 1970's!

Thank you David and Gary for a great presentation. I missed the live presentation but love these after works. David, do you have additional presentations that you have not posted? I am also interested in your Sn2 modeling works.

Thank you, very inspiring.

Really well done model, makes a very unique model!

Thanks for uploading. Love that you showed the operation of Pete's layout!

Thanks for uploading. Love Pete's layout!

Agreed : Much thanx for uploading as you have a great Layout. However; your commentary is at times difficult to decipher as you are sitting in an * Echo-Chamber; * to the point that I have called it quits in trying to go through from start to finish; having to break my viewing into tolerable sections. This also proves that it is not a once-off during the duration of your upload .... What a pity ! 😔

Thank you, very interesting information.

Thanks for uploading!

Great model! Just a couple of notes based on the comments in the video. Yes, they are difficult to steer but it’s due to the very low geared steering. As we like to say “steer early, steer often” the tracks and roller chains are adjustable for tension and wear. Yes, there is a differential. A pinion gear on the crankshaft drives a large ring gear. Spider gears transfer drive to the sprocket shafts. The drawing set you used from the Maine Forest & Logging Museum were drawn by the late Bill Lynch. Bill spent over 20 years working to restore the Lombard we have at the Maine Forest & Logging Museum. Sadly he passed away before it’s first steam-up in 2014. The live steam model was built by Chris Rubey and was the subject of a lengthy build series in “Live Steam” magazine. We currently have two steam powered Lombard log haulers in operating condition at the Maine Forest & Logging Museum. Your welcome to stop in and check them out anytime.

I stumbled across this video and the other one of Gary"s presentation. He mentions other presentations are there other videos or Information pertaining to these and where could they be found to read or view ? Enjoyed this very much .

Nice one! You need to come to the Division 8 in Louisville and set-up. Next show is November 2023.

Nice little world you've re-created here. Fantastic attention to detail.

Very realistic.

It took me a few moments to notice that the equipment is actually standard gauge dressed up to look as though it's narrow gauge but it's very very well done and I absolutely understand as to why he did it since true HOn3 equipment is both difficult and costly to get your hands on. I really enjoyed this video since I'm thinking of doing pretty much the same thing but in N scale with a freelanced road of my own.

video production could use a bit of work but a lovely layout!

The club I was in had the privilege to visit this layout the same day we visited the Blissfield club several years ago. I got a real kick out of the partial turntable pit. Hey, why not? What really hit me though is how many structures were the "old" ones I remembered liking as a kid and never got. Looking closer at them I realized the detail of those older kits really isn't bad at all, and since then have been buying them on eBay.

Incredible layout but I really miss his Conrail Toledo division, much more

Its good to see Sn2 on KZfaq. Hopefully you can make videos of your layout and the modules.

Incredibly Beautiful! 👍👍

Those scene, to backdrop transitions, are excellent! Wow!

Wait illusion being it’s supposed to feel like it’s really there or is it just HO standard gauge trying to be HOn3

No audio

What impressed me the most was that they colors of the scenery matched the backdrops almost perfectly. Something many layouts fail to achieve.

Exceptional, both the build and the composed camera shots. But, gauge matters, since that would be impossible in o gauge. Im aiming for my first video aug 15, 2022 on my o gauge "the trainboard" channel, very inspired by your work. Gary j

Doug, Are you Bobber Cabooses Scratch Built; or, have you Kit Bashed then somehow?

I grew up in Colorado, and Doug has captured the feel of the towns and the landscape beautifully. It's almost as good as going home.

The scenery and backdrops blended perfectly. Love the railroad and it has somewhere to go. Awesome job, enjoyed watching this more than once.

What a beautiful layout

Very good video.

Great layout, but would love to see a video with higher production values to show off the attention to detail and better sound.

The layout is superb and so inspiring

I had the pleasure of operating on this layout during the Black Swamp convention. It is an amazing layout! If you get the chance to see it in person it is most certainly worth the drive.

Great discussion Gary and Co. Really enjoyed it.

Amazing masterpiece and recognizably featuring the famous loop ! And what a scenery, both towns and mountains !

What a beauty. Please hurry up with the video if you haven't already. Thank you.

Is any track plan available? I'm also modeling the C&S Clear Creek Line and looking for ideas on how to fit mine in the space I have.

I've never seen a layout that blends in so well with the backdrop photos. And I love the loop, well done.

Incredible work. One of the most beautiful layout i have ever seen. And nice to se C&S..

Wow, no wonder I was confused, kept guessing On30 or HOn30, but neither quite made sense to my eyes. Nery nice is an extreme understatement.

Really nice
