Bill:

 

I always enjoy looking at your pictures. But like Texas Pete, not ore cars on our layout to share. Passenger service, that's a different story.

My ore train will be in "Reader Rail" soon. What I found out in collecting different makes of ore cars is the train looks better with slightly different cars. Most pictures I've seen of old ore lines is the railroad bought many different batches of cars from different manufactures. Try mixing and matching. Don

GTW RALPH,

WELL YES WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS TRYING TO FIND THE GTW ORE CARS. tHANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

Bill, I will keep my eyes out for more GTW Ore Cars for you. 

 

Ralph

Refinery and lighting is really spectacular. I am inspired!

The ore train is on rotation for the present. Here are the cars we pull with a N&W Class A lashup, about 95 of them. Will post operating photos when they are on duty again.   Joe

I just can't resist....    They all load and dump perfectly with my coaling loaders and ramp stations....

 

 

 

 

Steve, now that's my kind of railroad. Looks great. Don

KC,

Sorry about the neck issue . I have an issue with my Iphone pictures. Sometime the are in the correct orentation and sometime the are turned 90 degrees. I don't know why and I have asked Iphone folks for help but so far I dont know how to solve it. All the pictures were in the correct position in my photo album but when I posted you see what happened. Thanks for your comments. I like your Lionel Steel ore cars.

Texas Pete,

I think your ore train must still be in the MINE.

Brian ,

Thanks for your comments. My ore train is cranking down the rails as quick towards Mercer Junction and the new BlaST FURNACE, SO THAT MORE PASSENGER TRAINS CAN BE BUILT SOON FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Maybe even some ATSF Hi Level cars for good boys

Don,

Thanks for posting your ore train picture. I like your idea of the mix and matching BUT, I have had to take it another step. I am having to nix and match road NAMES since I cant find enough of my MTH GTW(blue) , K-Line CN (silver), MTH CN(red), MTH/LIONEL/K-LINE CP RAIL (black), MTH/LIONEL ONTARIO NORTHLAND(blue) or MTH DMIR(brownish red). I was trying to have a long ore car consit of the same road name but have not been able to do so.

Bill T.,

WOW Silver from Nevada... I need some of those MORGAN SILVER DOLLARS  from Carson City.  

Very nice picture of the Silver Ore car action with your BNSF motive power. Thank you for posting the GREAT PICTURE!! 

My fellow club members ran a long ore train in this video.

 

 

Not my ore train, but belongs to one of our members Mark Holmstad.  Here are a couple of videos with different motive power, and one loaded, and one empty train on the Independent Hirailers Midwest Division modular railroad.

Go to about 2:45 in Charlie's (MichRR714) video to see doubled headed Yellowstones pulling 102 ore cars.  That might be the record, at least for here.

Charlie,

WOW that is a GREAT video of at least 3 ore trains. One MEGA 102 CAR TRAIN WOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WONFERFUL VIDEO. iT LOOKS LIKE THE GUYS WERE HAVING A GREAT DAY.

RALPH THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Rigatoni Express ,

Joe 95 Ore car consist WOW. I really look forward to seeing it run when they are on duty again. Thank you for posting the pictures of all those GREAT ORE CARS.

Steve Harris, Very nice DMIR ore cars and a wonderful bridge wow. Thank you for sharing with us.

Wood from Geezerville  Thank you for sharing your consist and layout with us.

GNNPNUT,

WOW Thank you for posting those wonderful video's of Mark Holmstad's trains. It looked to me like ab out 50 ore cars in each of the consist. Your club modular layout is very nice, I had seen some it before whith Rich' GTW Grain car consists. I also saw your modular layout in Owosso MI back a few tears ago. Thank you very nuch for sharing with us.

John23 Thank you for pointing that out to me. I did see all those wonderful trains running that nice summer day out doors. That 102 car consist was just AWESOME.

Lionel Big Boy pulling around 20 ore cars, I think I need a larger layout.

  

Nice ore trains!

 

Here are two of mine.  I seem to have gone a little crazy with collecting jennys.

 

 

Pops,

 

If you add photos to your computer by going directly to your iPhone as a storage device, they can be edited and rotated.

This consist is a bit old--it's grown to about 73 cars since this was shot:

 

Same train, different views:

ed h, Looks like you have about 5 loops on your layout, very nice. Your ore train looks good on the layout. Thanks for sharing with us.

Popsrr, I stripped and repainted all of mine because they are a short line so there would be no interchange. Don
