this is a short slide show on how iinstalled coboose hobbies grond throws.i have watched many videos from people on various sites do installs to operate their manual turnouts.there where many good ideas but they all had some sort of cable or rod coming through their facsias. i didn't want to clutter up my facsia with cables and / or rods. so i came up with the video on how i did the install. more text in the slide show.
  i am also showing a test run showing the ground throw operation
 thanks for watching. comments & questions are welcome. i forgot to mention an importatnt item...the ground throws...

MY FIRST PERSONAL OP SESSION

being bored today i decided to switch out a couple of my industries. i found that i have a couple of issues with my turnouts.the locos stall going over the frogs. a couple of feeder wires will fix that. i was not able to get the uncoupling on video because i was doing everything by my self ( running the train, videoing & operating the manual turnouts.)
the bnsf unit will be renumbered
enjoy the video & as always, your comments, questions & subs are welcome.

thanks for watcing

SCRATCH BUILD ON A BUDGET

this is one of my scratch builds. it is not prototypical because i decided to build it as a 2 story stucture.most of the industries are single story concrete tip ups. it's my railroad..right????? the wall are constructed of different thickness styrene in 2 sections ( upper & lower) if you go back on a couple of my vids, you will see the mock up as a single story structure. i wanted something a bit taller. enjoy the slide show
your comments, subs & questions are always wecome

this is a short vid on what progrees & upgrades i have made over the past month or so. the peavine uses a ton of 4 axel units for the local switching, so i need to get a few more. going with digitrax was my best move ever. it should be fun to run the layout from my phone or pc
sorry for the super fast panning i did, i forgot that some of you reqested that i slow the panning down.
enjoy the vid .....thanks for watching
