@88junor Those are atlas gold series c40-8 units this isn’t my train so I can’t answer the rest of your questions.

Are those Athearn C40s and have you ever tried to pull the cars by yourself? If so how heavy do you think that train weighs?

Lonleyinosky – just my 2 cents but if you are running DCC they you have to go into the speed tables and set them up to all run together and make sure they are all matched speeds. If you are running DC I am pretty sure you cannot do anything about the different speeds.

I use to run 2 dash9 engines and it pulled over 130 grain and coal hoppers on our clubs HO layout. I have since started converting everything over to N Scale and getting rid of my HO collection slowly.

Newer model railroader here, so please go easy on me, but im having issues with multiple units working together as one unit. One always seems to pull faster or slower than the other causing issues. Suggestions?

That trestle is OFF THE HOOK!!! So detailed. Would be a hell of a place to derail a train LOL. The triple helix at the end is awesome too!

@dxr2002 Guess you haven’t worked on too many railroads in your life especially mountain railroads. There are curves that come into tunnels at alot sharper radius than that, I thought it looked great!!! I mean its not like they threw in a super tight radius at the tunnel entrance, it was all very smooth!!

@dxr2002 you jerk…. look at the video and enjoy, it’s not here for you to criticize… I guess they should rip out that trestle and rebuild it to suit you? idiot!

radius is too sharp going into the tunnel not to scale. and who ever recorded this video sucks next time pan out some

WoW, that was a very cool looking Bridge. i know i would enjoy running on that layout. i have an auto train that consist of 82 autoracks tri/bi levels and 18 automax cars, lol, but i cant run them all on our layout. i can get away with 30 but thats it… love the vid, big fan of long trains.

Love those C&NW Standard Cab Dash 8′s! I have video of the real units and they are a great locomotive! C&NW was a great road (RIP in UP). Very nice layout, thanks.

Amazing I do 100 70 ton hoppers with my bigboy 4-8-8-4 in N scale

5 diesels, and 91 trucks full of coal, toataling this rolling stock to 96.
It’s facinating, because of the fact that in real life, it’s no wonder that they could hardly stop before hitting something at the railway crossing because of all that weight behind they are transporting.
December 18th, 2011 - 13:04
Yes.
December 18th, 2011 - 13:46

December 18th, 2011 - 14:10

December 18th, 2011 - 14:18
No he didn’t have to throttle up to make it up.
December 18th, 2011 - 14:38

December 18th, 2011 - 15:18
Great video and neat layout!
