Model Railroading > 42-car Mixed Manifest: Train Mountain style...Date: 08/21/16 07:25 42-car Mixed Manifest: Train Mountain style... Author: Digger I decided to squeeze in one last trip to Train Mountain prior to the kids returning to school. While there, we decided to "go big" by rounding everything up that was set out in the main yard, and go for a ride. This video is the end result. We only had three derailments while on the mainline, and a few more than that in the yard. We had brakeman/conductors spread out along the consist with radios, since the engineer (a Union Pacific conductor) was rarely able to see the end of his train. This is a sneak peak for Trainorders members, as this content will be shared on TM's social media pages tonight. Enjoy!

Author: uprrman156 You start adding it up Bob it's not much more expensive then HO has turned into. Some people have 10 to 20 engines or more in HO at $200 plus a unit now days plus $20 to 40 per car at 100 or more cars in your fleet. Mind you that most likely you did not buy it all at once but you can find inch and a half scale engines from $2000 on up to get started. And you only need one engine not 20 or 30
