Video: Building Model Railroader’s Winter Hill Quarry Branch, part 1
This looks like it’s going to be excellent. I like the fact the trackwork layout is very simple, and it should be fun for you guys to operate.
Nice video! Really looking forward to this project!
I watched the webcam last year and now I’m looking forward to all the video installments! Looks interesting…
Looks like you guys are at it again, but making changes to the better side of things. I always thought Winter Hill was a bit on the boring side, or should I say the track arrangements were. Looking forwards to viewing all of the Videos on this Project.
Another excellent educational project blog. Thanks for making this part of your winter issues and on-line features.
Hello, very good idea to improve and to copy both project to my pike. Congratulation and thanks.
What a great video, i love the open shipping and recieving area. What a great idea…will be watching your progress…
Looking nice in January number! I´m waiting for my MR December issue every day!
Love these types of projects. They usually end up with me either modeling a version of it, or doing something completely different. The key being the inspiration to do SOMETHING!
Looking forward to this series.
Great jobs guys…very informative, and interesting to note your detailed research of the industry before starting the project.
Amazeing as usual.You guys really know how to keep it very intresting .Cant wait to see the end result of the project…Thankyou for doing this…
You guys do good work. This is a very interesting project. I am sure I will follow to completion.
Didn’t see David Popp’s name at the end. Looking forward to finding out what he is up to!
Like the track work and it is simple it like real life
Look Like Fun Wish i could Help
Like the Bay Junction project this too is another masterpiece of craftsmanship to operate with so much prototype authenticity. The details are extraordinary great !
Jim Hediger, last February was kind enough to apprise me of some plans that were to take place for this branch. To Jim I’m thankful for his responses. One question that I have is that in the video and photos we’ve seen an MP-1500, a GP38-2 and two other switcher engines. Is the power rotated from Port Marquette engine facility and dropped/picked up at Bay Junction as with prototype operations. Or changed out from the “0-5-0” hand switcher ?
excellent video,looking for more
It looks like an excellent plan for a branch line. I look forward to the next installment.
Got my interest.
