Switching on GEC's layout

[Green_Elite_Cab]

I spent some time taking a video of operating the industrial park on my little 4x8. The video says it is just over 14 minutes long, but thats after I stitched all the clips together! It just goes to show, that even a small layout can have a lot of operations.

A short summary- my 44 ton industrial switcher sets out the cars, and a conrail local arrives to interchange with the industrial switcher. The industrial switcher goes ahead and sets the arriving cars in their place.

I narrate it a little, but I didn't use any sound locomotives (the noise would drive you nuts after a while!)

the only major issue I had was some of the locomotives were a little unresponsive, but I can adjust the CVs until they become so.

I can say that it looks like the track rebuilding really has done wonders to increase reliability. only sectional track left now are on the outside ovals and in the industrial park, everything else is flex track now, so I've been getting much better conductivity.
