  Hi Shane, I watched a video you did on the construction of this Gon and asked Mr. Pictovid about it and he pointed me towards you as you were the one who built this; my question is.. what thickness styrene would you recommend for a passenger car? I would like to build a couple of LIRR commuter cars- they're 72 ft long. thanks in advance and happy 4th of july.

• 
  @CanadianrailroadsCa7 күн бұрын

  Hi Robert. Happy Fourth of July. For that length, I would recommend 1/8". My rotary gons have 1/16" side walls ( 22" ) and the side walls, even with all the ribs have a lot of flex. I do my best to always handle them from the base. My SD60f's are 1/8" ( 30" ) and are a very solid model. They would be similar in length to your passenger cars. They also have two pieces of 3/4" aluminum angle running the lengths of the locomotive. The coal cars ride on top of an aluminum channel. If your cars have a really solid base, and roof, you might get away with 1/16". Bulkheads would also add strength. The majority of the manufactured models seem to use 1/8". Hope this helps.

  @@CanadianrailroadsCa It does indeed, I saw that you used 5/8" U channel for the spine of your Gondola & figured that would be a good way to brace the floor and mount the trucks to. I have an USA trains GP-38-2 I got at a sidewalk sale at a hobby shop in Fla and will be painting it for the LIRR and want to scratch build a couple of P-72 cars to go behind it. I normally build in 2R O scale-- OW5 .. but I wanted to challenge myself plus seeing a LIRR commuter train in G would be impressive .. at least to me. p.s. the Loco is 1:29.. and from my math each car would be about 36" long.

  Hello Mr. Stewart. I’ve been painting a scene that includes the old Didsbury grain elevator in the background, using one of your photos as a reference for the grain elevator. Would you mind if I shared it online once it’s finished? I’m not sure it will end up being recognizable as based on your photo but I want to get your 👍 for non-commercial just in case it is. If it’s 👎 I’d rather know before I get too far along. Let me know, thanks.🥹

  Is the train at 29:40 M347? I'm asking because M347 always has tons of center beams towards the rear

• 
  @CanadianrailroadsCa2 ай бұрын

  Hi Mason, that's an eastbound, so maybe it was a 304, but it was 10 years ago, so that's just a guess. 347's were westbound empties. They were always a tough pull as the centerbeams, also known as sail boats, really grabbed the wind.

  Thanks for sharing this great video. Just came across it in my feed. Kinda cool how you can see the cab isolation working when you look at the tip of the locomotive nose. Had me wondering what was going on until I remembered these units have cab isolation. I was a conductor for CSX in Michigan in the late 90s. We used to run CP Rails trains from Montreal to Chicago via the Windsor Tunnel with the ubiquitous SD40-2s. Lost the traffic to NS a few years later, shamefully. I've loved the Canadian Railroads ever since! Best scenery anywhere, especially the Canadian Rockies 🤤. Can't wait to watch more of your content. New subscriber!

In open fields, there is nothing to bounce the sound of the horn back to the camera.
