My first Ops Session with my new Transload Facility

Matt, first of all outstanding weathering on your locamotives, and superb scratch built work on both buildings my friend. There is nothing more satisfying then scratch building your own stuff!!!

Beautiful industrial scene. Love the metal loading facility.

Awesome!! Weathering great job

That’s a great looking transload facility. Looks like it would be a lot of fun to switch. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed it.

That’s a great looking structure….the locomotives look excellent.

Matt my sincere compliments on not only your layout, but your steel industry as well. It's very refreshing to see someone who likes to scratch build. Awesome video and regarding your mistakes, as long as you are having fun that is all that matters.

M-15 is beautiful love the ditch and beacon's..

Great industry Matt. Awesome work

The steel coil Factory... is insanely cool!

Fantastic session Matt the scratch build turned out awesome. Glad you had fun up at the club it was great seeing you again. Keep up the fantastic work. Till the next time keep it on the tracksss 😎🚂🫵

Hi Matt. Long time coming but worth the wait. I love your BC power. The ones I see on VR are heavily weathered, so your stuff is proto typical. Have a good summer and I'll be looking for the next video.

Man that is awesome and seeing it in operation is super realistic! I don’t think there is one modeler that doesn’t make mistakes lol. After all that’s part of the fun indeed! 😂 great job 👍

Really nice Matt. I enjoyed this.

Like that US Steel- Geneva Works coil car.

That open-sided building is inspired. I have not seen that before. The simple interior really works for me, you don't want many things in the way of the hand of God. Here's a thought. Electromagnet w on/off and some servos could PU a load and drop on cars. Final Grade: Excellent.

nice weathering

your weathering is unbelievable

It came out exceptionally nice, Matt. If ya wanna borrow my Static Grasser for the yard, it's yours🚂🇨🇦🙋

Looks great, well done! I'll echo the previous comment about outstanding weathering in all respects.

matt... nice stuff !!!! first, i noticed you said the flashing cab lights were not prototypical... let me say this... they look great, especially when flashing on the back wall inside the facility !! also, prototypically speaking, a real crew would like to have them as more flash means a safer working environment in a building that could possibly have multiple employees walking around, especially with the loud noise a truly enclosed metal sided building like this would have during switching ops. being a retired industrial safety engineer for the federal government, there would probably be several other things that would be in place prior to the loads arrival, like open discussion w/ employees at the morning pre-job briefing about the loads arrival, facility owned "safety" blasts of a horn/alarm prior to engine entry into the facility, wall/ceiling flashing lights during entry, safety spotters at all entrances/exits that do not allow ANY worker into the facility other than the rr crew, and, regardless of employer ( facility or rr ) hard hat w/safety vests in all areas would be mandatory !! as well, after the a.m. daily pre-job briefing, all workers would be required to sign off on an iwp ( industrial work permit) denoting they understand the requirements of the days work and agree to abide by the rules denoted in that iwp !!! excellent work, matt, absolutely excellent !!
