looking forward to it

Nice Video, I enjoyed the narration. It adds some interest to me to hear train symbols along with a brief description of what the train does. I like a little signal talk as well.

The bins are looking good!

Thanks David,

The dwarf was pretty quick to build, only a few pieces. Not sure on the mast signal, but I am planning on building another similar one and was considering making a video of the build. If and when I do that, I'll keep track of the time and share the video.

since my signal has gathered so much interest, I thought I'd put a couple shots of it on the layout. Along with a dwarf, also showcase miniatures. http://railroadfan.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10457/IMG_9173.jpg http://railroadfan.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10457/IMG_9172.jpg http://railroadfan.co...

Nice video, and nice catch with the Dash 8.

Just finished another signal from showcase miniatures. I purchased individual parts for this one to make a signal that represents the signal that used to protect westbound movements across the diamond in Plymouth. I think it came out pretty good. the tri-color signal housing is a Union Switch and Si...

Nice video, the narration was a bit hard to hear in the beginning over the crossing bells and train sounds.

Came across a YouTube channel that I thought people on here might find interesting. Papachoochoo is the name of the channel. He has some neat videos from the late 80's early 90's of Michigan and Ohio. I particularly enjoyed some of his clips from Plymouth showing pushers and cabooses. The videos are...

Looks like a nice trip to Plymouth. Nice pictures too! My favorite shot is the Middle one looking east. I like photos that show other details, like the other track in the foreground, a long portion of the train is visible, signals barely visible in the distance and still a nice view of the lead loco...

At this time, it is set up for one person to operate.

I understand that. When I had two guys running mine it was about all I could accommodate I think with me making 3, and I was just observing. Although in the future I would like to have one or two operating and one acting as a dispatcher.

Nice that you had an operating session already! I'd like to try operating your layout. I had a couple guys come operate mine for the first time about a week ago and things went pretty well.
Looking forward to more updates.

Just finished a train order signal for the layout. It is supposed to represent the train order signal that was next to the Plymouth yard office. I build it using parts purchased from Show Case Miniatures. Its not lit yet but just wanted to see how it looked. Here are a few pictures. http://railroadf...

MIGN-Bill I too would like to see some pictures of your layout and equipment, maybe some details on how you operate.

Haha yep that was a lot to take in. Thanks for the Link!

nice miny history SD80MAC! thanks for sharing. Now can you do Plymouth/Saginaw/Detroit subs for 1986-1990? LOL that might be a bit much. I know nothing about the Saginaw and Detroit sub trains, so I wouldn’t be the right person to ask. Thats ok I wasn't being completely serious although I would lik...

those look cool

Nice report, I've been wondering what runs on this line. Thanks for posting

Nice report David! I don't get there much anymore but Plymouth is my favorite place to railfan. Thanks for posting.
