Ok, I see the empties-in track, so where's the loads-out track? Confused

I bet he doesn't need to clean the track much! Thumbs Up

I'm a brass and built-up wood rolling stock kind of guy..............but this is impressive and could be if not already one hellova an ad bit for the manufacturer of these models and track. I have the finest in track and equipment and if I can run a train for a couple of scale miles without a car jumping off the track............it is a good day and then some!!

As I oft said times beyond counting..Never accept anything less then 100% derailment free operation..

If a some what average (so/so perhaps?) modeler like me can accompish that goal..Anybody can.

The same guy has other videos with different layouts on the same general theme.  Bachmann should send the guy all the free track he wants or needs as it is a great advertisement for them.

I don't know why, but I was really mesmerized by that video. There was something just beautiful about that spiral helix.

Thank you for sharing this one.
