WoW that hump classification yard looks great !

I have been experimenting with a hump yard and the hump gradient doesn't really need to be all that steep to get a railcar rolling downhill at a prototypicaly correct speed.

I think my hump is only 125' long,and a 0.50% grade
 
-Barstow Bowl testing...
Everything is done successfully :hehe:
Nikita :wave:

Glad to see someone is working on that behemoth of a yard, I've been by there a couple times and boy... it's frigging huge. Its much bigger than the rail yards here in AZ as far as total space (I think we've got Barstow beat in overall yard length (BNSF "Peavine" Intermodal and freight yard (really anything from Peoria AZ in is one big yard) is a bit longer than Barstow end to end IIRC but much, much thinner (notably at grade crossings where it's one track then fans back out into like 5 right after the crossing))

-I'm almost done with Colton yard if that counts lol!

Hi socalwb909 above me! Saying hi because I recognise your username.. I love your containers and have used them with a protolars industry for my container port! Thanks for your creations!


Afew bits of my layout i've been working on. Can't believe how long it takes to get a really detailed area done... especially the middle of a town considering you would see it as the train goes down the street! Can't skimp on detail :(

-Max amount of train that is allowed on Mojave is 12 locos, 7,000 feet of train and 18,000 trailing tons, if you want to be realistic about it. :p

You have never posted "...nothing special..." in your entire life!

Love it - every aspect of it - not just the rolling stock (which is outstanding!) but all the little route building gems as well! Great stuff :)
THANKS Andy, I love your shots to :).

Erik, are those pictures made with a backdrop or something? The background somehow doesn't quite seem to mate up with the foreground, in some way I can't quite put my finger on ... They're very pretty, regardless, though.
No, there is no backdrops, however there are only two / three rows of trees (since it's on the edge of the baseboard, there was not room for more, hehe) that makes it perhaps look like backdrops.

BNSF with oversize containers.
