N Scale: Home Layout Special of the Feather River RR III

Filmed 02/03/16 This was the last time I was out at Rodney's, timing has just been off for me to get back out there. But, I should be good to go whenever Shane and I can get together again to go. In this video, it takes place on the newly opened sections which includes Williams Loop. Once again, my CSX units look sorely out of place here, but I have something in the works to change that. The autoracks are again, not mine, they belong to Rodney's son. We follow the CSX through about 2/3 of the video, then we switch eras and watch a big 50s era UP manifest, followed by a Missouri Pacific passenger train. I was out there with Shane and his grandfather Bob. Oh, and sorry for any nightmares you may get from Shane photobombing my camera. He's a dick sometimes. ^^ Oh yeah, I can finally do longer, bigger, more complex videos now. This new laptop burns through video processing, editing and rendering like it's nothing. This 12 minute video was completely finished in under two hours. My old computer, if I could get it to cooperate, it would have been about a 36 hour process. Literally a giant weight has been lifted off me. I can actually start making plans to get some real modeling done now. Anyway, I got something special coming on Wednesday's railanning video. More from the HO club too. Thanks again Rodney for letting us come out there. Looking forward to next time. Stay tuned, lots more to come, Jason ---------------------------- Chris' Channel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/844Train Shane's Channels: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/thebrakeman17 Facebook: Shane Mason Spencer's Channels: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/NS8010 Facebook: Spencer Batey Vinny's Channels: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/bnsf6951 Facebook: Vinny Sestito ---------------------------- My Stuff: facebook Jason Stiles - https://www.facebook.com/JasonRS.UP9229 facebook Eastern Jackson County Mainliners (Public) - https://www.facebook.com/groups/EJCMRailroadClub/ deviantART UP9229 - http://up9229.deviantart.com/ Train club account: - http://www.youtube.com/user/EJCMRailroadClub/featured EJCM website: - http://easternjacksoncountymainliners.com/ Yahoo group: - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Freelanced_Model_Railroads/

1. N Scale locos have got a lot more quiet since I last had them about 20 years ago. :)
2. fs
3. what a wonderful layout with a spiral .
4. very nice layout and very smooth trackwork...I am jealous!!
5. Do ytono
6. Congratulations for this amazing work! My 3 year-old child is a train lover, and we have seen this video at least 40 times, he just loves it!!
   Greetings from Spain!
7. good video but train is slow
8. Feather River that drains out of Lake Oroville?
   Where are the N scale conservatives, shaking their fists at the sky, proclaiming it's the end of the world?
   Of course blaming progressives who werent there, when the dam was "proudly" dedicated to the public. Just asking.
9. What is the diameter of the Helix? Great job on the track and layout. Now the fun of finishing the scenery.
10. Beautiful construction& should keep everyone busy for some time.Just a great layout😎
11. kkgvgtftfl .. 0
12. 砸中灬。
13. I have that 737 CSX engine! And an 800 one
14. Were those Con-Cor passenger cars?
15. this is exactly right. the radii are right. the trains are long like the real thing. every 33 feet is a mile.
16. Hi, Jason! That is a very nice N-scale layout you have going. Great work, and lots of it, too! Was it a nightmare to wire? And, how big of a room (basement) is it in?
17. Always enjoy watching your videos

19. That takes up so much space! I'd love to have a massive layout too, but it wouldn't be able to interfere with walking around like that. I'd like to do one of those insanely compact coffee table layouts, or something that sticks out no farther than 1foot from the wall. What's the point of scale realism if it literally takes up an entire level of your house?
20. Nice. The Union Pacific train at 7:15 makes me wonder just how long you can make a train before you get issues. Obviously you're going to need some heavy locomotives if they are to have enough traction. If you keep adding power in front to deal with longer and longer trains, I guess the next issue will be that lighter cars directly behind the locomotives are kind of getting pulled apart, eventually causing them to derail on the inside of corners. You should be able to defer that for a while with an exponential mass distribution. Limiting friction and therefore force required to keep moving should also help (which happens to be the nature of trains). How long would the train be by then?
    
    Edit: Apparently couplers are the first problem you'll encounter in practice. Of course failures have to be mechanical in nature.
