Hey, I'm Tolga. Currently based in Miami, FL and a recently minted Physics Ph. D from Florida International University in Physics.
I have grown up not only working on my academic background but also as a railfan and model railroader. I currently have HO scale trains of local railroads CSX and Florida East Coast, and most Class 1s. A layout of the Florida East Coast Commerce Park district has been in the works with progress occasionally posted here.
This channel is my platform for railfanning and informative and creative HO Scale operations videos. This channel is always evolving and plenty to come as 2024 goes on. Subscribe to not miss a beat.
For my lifelong work in custom LEGO modeling, check out some of the earlier uploads in this channel and my more recent, focused channel www.youtube.com/@vicecitybuilder .
I entertain commissions for custom models and content; feel free to reach out!

HO Scale Model Trains: Local Switchers and Road Freights Compilation!
In this video we return to the East Coast HO Exhibitors Society's (ECHOES) model train setup and simulate a day on the railroad with numerous yard jobs, locals, and through freight trains. We follow a local crew for a day out on the high iron switching biofuel and petroleum customers. The local job is powered by a CSX SD40-3, the model of which was produced by ScaleTrains. Numerous ScaleTrains GE locomotives also make an appearance, including Norfolk Southern Heritage ES44ACs 8099 and 8100 as well as CSX "Spirit of our First Responsers" ES44AH 911. This video has it all - yard jobs shuffling cars, locals working the last mile, and mainline freights flying on the double track layout!

REVIEW: ScaleTrains HO Scale Model Trains CSX AC4400CW Locomotive ("Spirit of Dante" - CSXT 391)
Переглядів 1,2 тис.21 день тому
In this video, we take a look at the newest ScaleTrains HO Scale Rivet Counter locomotive, the GE AC4400CW (CSX: CW44AC). I made the obligatory purchase of a CSX model, choosing CSXT 391 ("Spirit of Dante"). This engine is named after a railroad town in Virginia on the former Clinchfield that served as a vital part of the coal pipeline with the CRR, and I've been fortunate to see it on at least...
Florida East Coast Trains with EMD Leaders!
Переглядів 9112 місяці тому
Sometimes, the Florida East Coast Railway runs their mainline freight trains with lashups consisting entirely of the locomotives on their EMD (Electro-Motive Diesel) fleet. I have managed to catch this on a couple of rare instances in 2024. It is always cool to see GP40-2s and SD40-2s leading trains these days; the hum of the 645 prime mover never fails to amaze. One such instance is 101 with G...

Quick Picks: CSX M453 and Florida East Coast Railway's New Trash Train
Переглядів 9884 місяці тому
I was out with some buddies and caught a few trains. Wanted to highlight CSX M453 and FEC 290, particularly emphasizing the new Saturday-only FEC trash turn as part of their new contract with Waste Management. They use double-stacked 45' containers to shuttle garbage from Miami to Fort Pierce. Normally, 105 and 208 handle the traffic, but since FEC abolished weekend runs of trains 105 and 206, ...

Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway ES44C4s 816 and 820 are the first to go through their mid life overhaul in the railway's New Smyrna Beach shops, which include a repaint into a Grupo Mexico corporate livery very similar to that on Ferromex.

@@XBOXShawn12thman miracles happen in the hobby!
I just came across this video ... Subscribed!!! 👍
@@XBOXShawn12thman thanks!
Gorgeous locomotive the rust detail is the cherry on top
FRA rule. if it is a local you must have one or two non hazmat behind the locomotives. road train you must have at 5 to 6 non hazmat cars behind the trailing unit and for mid dpu you must have it between non hazmat cars.
@@foreverconrail local or road is 5 buffers but again on the both if you dont have 5 buffers it isnt just one or two you take as many buffer cars available notice on unit key trains like ethanol and crude oil trains sometimes only one buffer not 5
@@tipjar5 correct.
@@foreverconrail yes - in the case of this switch job one suffices. But the need for a buffer wasn't quite keyed in when they built it using JMRI
@@tipjar5 ethanol and crude oil have a buffer car on either end yes. was going by what CSX does. also can’t confirm or deny that i work for CSX
@@foreverconrail ahh very well ! welp i definitely dont know how csx operates but i also cant confirm or deny that i work for a other class 1 besides csx lol
cant tell if those tanks are hazmat cars but if they are thats differently the problem the two hoppers should of been in the front
Very possibly so 🤔 yes; this was the first time Amerigas is a customer on the layout so special instructions will be part of the operations plan in future sessions.
I thinking that none of those tankers have any kind of shelve couplers on any of them. I'm guessing lpg is a hazmat and per fra rules should be on there per prototypes, just a guess.
10:18 that shot looks like irl but it’s a model. W modeling
The detail is just the best I have ever seen.
I have to say, I have been watching train videos for a while. First time I have ever seen a palm tree on one of these layouts and it looks amazing! Nice work!
@@lottaaction8072 agreed, Lance really nails it with his use of custom made palm trees.
the king goes frankfurt, ob die karin an bord war?
How come the railroad crossing lights used to flash slow now they flash fast except the 2 and they have more gates and they changed the bells
Probably the way they programmed the new ones. They seem to like a faster flash since it's all LED now (ie. Quicker fade)
Theyre not like oss
Train to long😮
Beautiful engine, love the sound as well. I really like my ScaleTrains BNSF ES44DC.
Thanks for the comment! They did a great job on that unit!
Very impressive and handsome NS dash 9 locomotive models, I really like the Norfolk Southern paint scheme even though it is plain simple black & white it is interesting and unique among the other major US class one railroads of North America. Norfolk Southern owns more than 1000 of these dash 9 locomotives as these are very common throughout the NS system and a must have for any NS modeler and Scaletrains has produced an excellent model of the GE dash 9 locomotive.
Very cool industry idea. Something that's pretty common in the world yet you don't see on layouts often. There are a lot of interesting load possibilities too.
@@KandWRailroader agreed! It definitely addresses the heavy hauling around here
So hard to read
hey do you have the FEC map in trainz
Super detail and running, many thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment! Agreed on the detail!
Hey I live in tampa
Dylan upgraded my #96 to DCC
He’s great at what he does!
Beautiful locomotive
Hi, can I ask what make 4310 is, and how old it is, looking to buy similar. Super video by the way.
@@tombeattie7382 hi, thanks! It is an Atlas Trainman, renumbered from 4305. Athearn Genesis is coming up with a more souped up version.
@@TolgaEastCoast many thanks for the info. Yes I have seen the Athearn info on this, trouble is I live in the UK and they are not shipping at present!
To think there’s apartment buildings going up across the street from Funky. How the landscape is changing. Also I wonder how many are gonna complain about the noise when they deliberately move next to a rail line 😂
Subscribed. Lance sent me!
@@johncho8766 thank you!
Dude as a painter for over 30 years I'd say you did awesome.....subbed you
Its HAZMAT.......that a good reason why those tracks were redone
2024 update. I found the cargocopter. It was buried in a drawer! But it is alive and well. Should this model hit a public display soon, I'll try to include both aircraft. But Air Mail is already an excellent member of the fleet.
Cool
Nice layout keep up the good work awesome
Florida Fun Train
Wow!
Someone loves going crazy on the horn
Nice catches, had some good action there!
I was in that exact run I was 5 when I was in there good times. Love you N&W 611❤️🙏🚂🇺🇸
Great video !!!! I learned a lot watching your installation
This old video is a treasure. Not only a vintage GP11, but the activities going on are interesting. And my, what a healthy Geep; not a bit of blue (oil burning) smoke. Major railroads are boring these days. This short line is not boring at all. Thank you.
Lovely catches
Great video.. There are some good spots in Opa Locka, near the Amazon warehouse to watch Amtrak fly-by at 12:00pm.
Is that the fort Lauderdale airport that is right by the train tracks
I realize I'm rather late to the party, but is there any way to get a parts list for this? My sister works at FEC and she'd get a kick out of having one of these on display.
I can probably build one for her
Like it was too wobbly to secure the crossing
Bad ass video brother
Nice job
Great video Tolga see you next train show
awesome video.
Thanks!
Awesome!! Cool to see those WM containers
Thanks! Agreed on that.
tolga,... great stuff as usual. i have recently installed the same crane as you have in this video but it remains unpainted. after seeing yours, mine will be yellow, too !!! thank you for that !! also, prototypically, how would the rr's really transport such almost "top heavy" loads ? tie-downs for sure with speed restrictions for the switcher if loaded in this manner ( i.e on their side)... it would seem to me they would be placed on the flatcar laying on their top or bottom edges as even cribbing under each piece, when laying on their side as you have them, would not be enough to stop the inertial (i.e. stored ) energy forward if a quick stop was needed. you did a really nice job, i must say !!! i have actually seen drainage pipes like this delivered to the plant i retired from that were loaded into hoppers that looked like they were previously used in scrap metal transport !!! they were picked out of the hoppers using standard h&r (i.e.osha) requirements !! we love your work, tolga.. please keep the videos comming... oh, yes, LETS GO PANTHERS !!! from western ny state !!!
Thanks Dennis! Really cool! Yes the cars will likely be secured somehow, the pipes were straddled and stacked two high. Train was still able to travel track speed, probably with a 45-50mph restriction like regular bulkhead flats. And yes, Go Panthers!
@@TolgaEastCoast thanks, tolga !!! denny
Added ops note. Since the train was moving back to the yard on the main, proto would have an EOT or flag in the trailing coupler. One company makes HO dummy EOTs and flags for this purpose. Slips right into a Kadee.
Thanks. I know Wallace Loco Works makes the Scal-EOT. Could that be it?
SLOW DOWN...
Very nice layout. Thanks for sharing.
