A switching session on the small HO layout - now named 'Greenwood' ! Still some jobs to do on the layout - see my previous videos for construction diary.
What a wonderful, metallic, melodious sound that old Baldwin makes. Delightful. Thanks for the video.

I love the freight car weathering! Especially the patch-outs on the blue CNW boxcar. Excellent work! Your backdrops are awesome too

Thank you! I'll only take partial credit for the blue box car, it was already patched, I just did a basic 'dirty' weathering job on it! :-)

Having a "hands-on" railroad where you manually throw turnouts and uncouple cars always seemed to be a more immersive and richer experience. . . and a lot more fun, especially with a small home layout like this which is all I ever had. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks.

Thanks.. I've always preferred it. We used hand-thrown turnouts and manual uncoupling on our BIG modular railroads too.

After all, there are no massive magnets etc. on a real railroad. (Although at a young age, I was convinced the yellow AWS ramps in the middle of the track, here in the UK, were un-coupling things).

This video showed the best editing of small switching layout videos. Time lapse through some of the more mundane or repetitive ops and focus on the core switching moves. Nicely done! 👍

Cool switching operations. 👌 I see through the scenic break there is a shed, a Thrall all door car and hopper car. Is there another scenic board beyond Greenwood ? Cheers, Gary.

Hi Gary - nope.. that's just a 'fiddle' board. I placed the shed there for that very reason :-)

@@moghobbystuff Well there you go ! Great idea indeed. On my layout, I didn't have anywhere to stage trains so I decided to replace one industry with a three road fiddle yard which is all sceniced. 😉 Cheers, Gary.

That was my plan for Greenville before I dismantled it - a scenic 'yard'.. makes a lot of sense.. this layout was originally intended to be to take to a show, hence the offscene fiddle.. next one (!) will no doubt keep the staging 'on scene'

I’ve just started a switching layout myself and just looking for some ideas. Not really good on videography so not sure about how to film!!!! Mine will be a total length of 21’ X 24”, L shape…….

Good luck- hope to see you sharing ? My 'ideas' will usually be about going smaller! Have a go.. I think using a tripod or something to keep the camera steady is important.. spending time editing cannot be underestimated, and I'm still wrestling with the audio, getting a decent microphone and working out how to use it :-)

Hi there.. I built it originally as a layout for an exhibition, that then got cancelled! That's why it was built in three 3 ft sections (2 scenic, 1 fiddle)

Gotcha.. thanks. He is a lazy bugger! (and I couldn't film him getting off and throwing the switches or coupling the cars, which is what I imagined). Look forward to seeing your switching layout sometime :-)
