Main Track Trains
США
Добавлен 20 май 2015
Hello! My name is Mike and I’d like to welcome you to my channel, The Main Track. Here, I’m featuring progress on the construction and operation of my HO-scale model railroad layout. It recreates the Missouri-Kansas-Texas “Katy” Railroad’s Sedalia Subdivision in west-central Missouri as it appeared in the summer of 1987.
The Sedalia Subdivision was part of the M-K-T Railroad’s mainline between Parsons, Kansas, and Saint Louis, Missouri. Threading across western and central Missouri, the M-K-T passed through rolling prairies, farmland, and small towns. This segment had several online agriculture-related rail customers, such as feed mills, grain elevators, and fertilizer bulk plants.
The layout is a 20x10x20 U-shaped shelf-style setup. It features 50 feet of mainline with numerous spurs serving industrial customers. The layout currently features the Sedalia to Clinton, MO segment. Plans are to expand the layout in the near future to feature the run between Kansas and Clinton.

Cheapest Signals Ever? Neat Crossing Flashers By WeHonest For Model Train Layouts
I visited the Nuremberg Germany railway museum in 1974 while serving a mission for my church. It included a computer controlled HO scale model of the Deutsche Bahn (national German railway) that was about 20x40 ft., not nearly as large as San Diego's. But it was densely populated with track and scenery, both urban and rural. Lots of trains were running simultaneously. One feature that particularly caught my eye was a switching yard with 20-30 spurs. For the time, the technology was quite impressive, controlling the trains and switches. As an unplanned special treat, visitors witnessed a head on collision of two trains while I was watching - not a stunt, but a true train wreck that halted the show and threw the exhibit staff into a real tizzy. I'd love to go back and see how that exhibit has evolved over the last 50 years.
All these Europeans coming out of the woodwork touting the train layout in Germany is getting to the point of obnoxiousness. Yes, it's a large layout but it looks like shit. There is no realism at all. Please stop. By the way, love this layout. Absolutely stunning.
Sending support idol done full nect
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
Hi Mike & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Mike & Friends Randy
Thank you Randy! Appreciate you tuning in! -Mike
Living in Santa Barbara, I really need to take time for a road trip to San Deigo. I've seen that layout a few times since the 90s. It truly the biggest & best layout you can imagine! Thank you for posting this. Definitely going there this month. I like this u tube because there's not endless talking. Just focus on this beautiful R.R. Subsribed now.
Great review of lovely locos. I have just looked at some pics of BN 2177 on RR Picture Archive and the beacon is quite high, though difficult to tell as the shots are from a lower angle.
Biggest layout I have ever visited was in Zanesville Ohio. The layout was on the cover of Model Railroader years ago. Really worth a visit.
I don’t have any Rapido locomotives, and I don’t plan to. The main problem for me is the cost. Rapido locomotives are very expensive, way too expensive for me. For instance, the Rapido MLW M420 at its base form costs roughly $350 straight from the manufacturer, and $250 on the secondary market. I try to limit myself to $200 on single locomotives, so that’s way out of my range.
Hi Michael … do you plan another run of this book? Saw a post on FB that you might. I hope so!!
@@rickolson6031 hello! I’m currently looking into that possibility and have been in talks with my publisher. More titles are in the works, but I’m also trying to gauge interest in another run of the original. I appreciate your interest! That helps as I gather everyone’s thoughts on it.
@@MainTrack Great!! I missed the first run, so I will await the good news. Put me down for a copy!
Dude controlling that train did not look like he was having fun!😂❤🎉
Springfield on the side of that BN unit really couldn't have worked out more in your favor!
Yes, I really appreciated that extra detail! The Denver ones are just as nice of course, but I’m just a little biased toward Springfield! Haha.
I also have that same BN GP38. I watched the part about the beacon light, and could there be a cv that can be changed to make it rotate?
I was hoping to find something with that information, but didn’t have any luck finding it in LokSound’s documentation. I originally shot Rapido an email asking that, but they haven’t gotten back to me just yet. I’ll be sure to pass it along if I’m able to figure that one out! -Mike
Very impressive and attractive gp38 models, I really like the older 4 axle emd locomotive models and it's nice to see a model of the original gp38 offered in ho scale instead of the gp38-2. These Rapido gp38 models are incredible from my personal observation and I personally want to purchase the B&O and Penn Central examples of this model when I finally have enough 💵💰 saved up in order to make a purchase.
Yeah, wondered about the beacon size. Looks very oversized. Something you could easily change out with a more prototypical beacon down the road.
Yes, I’ll be looking into what some other options there are. I don’t think it would look nearly as tall if it weren’t mounted on the little platform. If I could find a way to take that out and lower the beacon down to the roof, it would look better. The wire running up to the beacon is nearly microscopic-thin…so I’ll need to have the magnifying glass ready for that project!
Hi Main Track Trains & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Main Track Trains & Friends Randy
Hi, Randy! I appreciate you watching. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Have an awesome week! -Mike
Great review Mike 👍👍😊
I appreciate that, Kraig! I’m looking forward to their Katy GP40s even more now. I don’t think they’ve announced a manufacture date, let alone a release date on those…so it’ll be a while. -Mike
I'm glad you're liking your GP38s. Mine are still setting in the box 😅
Yes, they’ve been pretty great so far! I’m guessing you got the BN ones? Katy had a handful of the 38s that made it into green/yellow. Maybe I’ll get lucky with those in a future release!
@MainTrack I actually didn't buy the BN versions yet. They're technically a post 1990 unit, and I haven't talked myself into looking past that yet. So far I have 1 CR and 1 PC that I have plans for. I keep kicking the tires on a set of Santa Fe and a set of Southern for transfer runs
I ordered ttwo of these and have them paired. I am loving these models!
Hello! Yes, they are pretty smooth runners. I’m going to figure out a way to speed match them my Athearn Genesis units with them. The Rapidos are so smooth that they’re not playing well in consists with my units from other manufacturers.
@@MainTrack that’s mainly ESU and Rapido having custom factory board sounds and functions. They usually don’t play nice. Which is y I decided to just buy two of the same.
These Locomotives are top of the line. They are flat out awesome and worth every single penny. Look beautiful, run exceptional and the light packages are perfect. Smooth as silk!!
I agree that Loksound is probably one of the best!
Hi, Dennis. Yes, most certainly! I have been tempted to start replacing my other decoders with Loksound. It won’t be cheap, so that’ll likely be a long term project! -Mike
@MainTrack to me it is well worth it as you can still use the bell and horn if you want while the engine sound is off. Also programming for me is a breeze compared to JMRI and there are a lot less cables running around!
So glad Rapido is adding keep alives now. Should have been part of the DCC standard. Adding after the fact can be very difficult.
Yes, it makes a nice difference. I have some other units where it was added after the fact. It’s nice having these installed already. -Mike
Those are some great looking engines. Another thing about the Esu vs. Tsunami is the drive hold. That one thing is what keeps me away from them.
Very nice, Mike! As I mentioned in response to your question, I have a BNSF GP38 on order from Iron Planet Hobbies, and seeing these in action has me really excited!
Hi, Randall. Very cool…I have seen the BNSF ones in the ads and they look pretty sharp! No matter the scheme, I don’t think anyone could go wrong with these! -Mike
Question: So you have any Rapido locomotives or cars on your layout? What has your experience been with this brand?
Got a total of 5 Rapido locomotives (which will soon be 6 as soon as my BNSF GP38 I ordered from Iron Planet Hobbies arrives), 2 Santa Fe B36-7s, 2 Frisco U25Bs, and most recently, 1 BCRAIL Dash 8-40CM. So far, I've really liked Rapido's locomotives! The only issue I came across, ironically came with the most recent arrival, the BCRAIL Dash 8-40CM (ordered from Yankee Dabbler), in which when function 4 is activated for the dynamic brake, the locomotive stops instead of just activating the sound as it normally would! Not a big deal, I'll probably wait until I'm back in Springfield while they're open and see if if it's just a programming error, which I'm 99.99999% sure it is.
i do not own any rapido locos so any opinions i have on them are based off of others who do own them... while rapido has very NICE LOOKING equipment, i have heard VERY VERY BAD things about their performance from MULTIPLE people who do own them... one person went so far as to call their locos very nice looking "paper weights"... i was very close to buying their new GP9 release... but after reading some of the negatives on their performance i backed off
I have a rapido frisco u25b that I run but it's a bit too early for my era. I've been debating getting some gp38's in Southern for an early 80s project or some c36-7 for UP/MP for a late 80s early 90s project. Not really sure the best one to go with. I have found that they have good models and such but I don't really like the sound files being locked to a serial number of the decoder. If the sound isn't really unique to the model I tend to run the OEM file. Great models though!
I’ve got 2 of their GP38s and the GP9RM w/slug still in the box and one of their Wabash E8s. Unfortunately my layout was torn down and its rebuilding status is in hiatus right now due to moving so my locomotives haven’t been used yet. I do like the details on them but unfortunately can’t comment on performance just yet. I do have 4 of the Rapido Katy GP40s with the slug on preorder as well, just cause I’m willing to risk it. Each company has theirs pros and cons. People swear by Athearn but I’ve had multiple Athearn locomotives come in broken or have problems and had to send back for replacements. I still have a Athearn RTR Katy SD40-2 that came out of the box with the motor not working. Honestly, I’m just waiting for Scale Trains to come out with some Rivet Counter Katy SD40-2’s and MoPac 40-2’s. A barriger red era Katy GP40 would be nice too. Those are harder to find than the JD green and red was Katy’s traditional colors.
I’ve got 8 tank cars that I purchased from Midwest model railroad that came out few years ago but no locomotives yet waiting on the 3 stooges to come out
Awesome channel great video keep them up make sure you like and subscribe thank you for your support
I love that floating shelf concept - very tidy. How deep it he deepest section of the shelf?
Hello! Thank you…I am liking this style quite a bit so far. I have the (future) power plant section that is 2 feet wide, but that will be the absolute widest. I’ll likely have a 2-foot wide section when I rebuild the town of Sedalia, but the rest will mostly be 12 inches to 16 inches wide all the way around. The 16-inch spots I’m working on seem to be a pretty good balance width-wise. -Mike
A wonderful layout!
Hi, Randy. I agree…they did an amazing job on these layouts. It’s definitely a great example of amazing detail that we can all strive for. -Mike

Nice layout. VERY nice. Google Winter Wonderland Hamburg. Worth the visit too.
Hello! I’ve been hearing a lot about the Wonderland layout (it sounds like it’s more of an entire miniature world). It sounds like something I definitely need to check out. Thank you for stopping in to watch! -Mike
@@MainTrack Plenty of videos online. It has sections for different countries, a port and a working airport.
The San Diego museum is the biggest that I have ever seen fortunately I've been able to run at both layouts thank you very much for the gentleman who has invited me multiple times now I'm able to knock this off my bucket list ! 🚂🚃🚃
Hello! I’m sure that was a great opportunity to operate the layouts. I’d love to get that chance sometime. Maybe next time I can catch them during one of their regular meetings and ops sessions. -Mike
Mike , you must be invited to run their and your equipment all needs to be up to NMRA standards! They will test ! Are you in SO. CAL area? Or a few hours drive from San Diego ? ! But am friends with some members it's not to hard to run their just a lot of scheduling. Than we will see what we can do ! 🤞
Mike, my Sedville homie. As always, your videos and the quality of what you do does not go unnoticed. Excellent work as usual.
Hey there! Good to hear from you. Thank you…I really appreciate that! I’ve been staying busy trying to make some progress. Some months I have better luck than others. Haha! -Mike
That is truly an amazing layout.
Hi, Larry! I agree…they did a fantastic job on this layout. Truly a work of art! -Mike

Hi, Larry. Thanks for watching! -Mike
Thanks for the update - this surely will become a nice layout for ops sessions!

Hi, Ryan. It was great to see you as well. It was a fun show. I’m sure I’ll see you around again sometime! -Mike
Love how spread out everything is. Not too “busy”. Can’t wait to see the rest of the track plan.
Hi, Roger. Thank you. I’m glad I have these for room for some long straight stretches of running. The prototype is pretty flat and sparsely populated…so I’m doing my best to replicate that. Thanks for tuning in! -Mike
hello mike !!! the pike is really starting to look nice !!! also, the 3 engine consist, mkt/mkt/bn, is really slick !!! btw, will your new layout be a continuous run around the walls of the basement ? i also purchased the w. cornerstone conveyor kit for my power plant and quickly came to the realization that this kit is or will be seen on many, many layouts. i try to avoid this as much as possible with all my structures, so i opened the box and did some workbench engineering and cut/chopped/sanded and developed a system of using it "in disguise" if you will !! i noticed you said you will kind of do the same to your conveyors and the grain facility.... WAY TO GO, MIKE !!! isn't kitbashing fun ???? blessings to you my friend !!! denny p.s. we have previously discussed the chiefs and bills a ways back, if you remember. well, my bills are looking mighty sad, i figure with their tough schedule ( jets 2x/dolphins 2x/ jags/ravens/texans/chiefs/49er's/rams/lions) they could easily have 7-8 losses !!! looks like chiefs/ravens/bengals/texans for sure will be "playoff bound" !!! a lot of nfl announcers are saying to look out for the browns as well... many are also predicting the jets to take the east this year... the afc will again be a good shoot-out !!!
Did you ever consider building that section in front of your doors as a modular section on wheels. That way, you could use the doors if needed.
Hi, Mark! That is one of the things I’ve considered. I’ve been measuring and brainstorming different options. It seems like none of them will be a perfect solution, though. I will give some more thought to the module on wheels idea. I may have to try a couple of different routes and see which one works best! -Mike
The grain elevator is cool
Thank you…I appreciate that! I have a few more little details to add. I’ll be sure to post some updates showing the progress. -Mike
