I have posted a total of 16 videos, on YouTube, about the creation of my first HO Train Layout in a Long, Long Time. It is, of course, regarding Dead Rail/Battery on Board.
The most recent video is, Adding a Walthers Trainline AMOCO 40’ Tank Car to My Rolling Stock”. May. 2, 2024
Part 16 is a bit different. It describes all of the modifications that I had to do to get this simple tank car to work well on my Dead Rail layout. It also explains how I honored my father with this addition.
The video does not explain fully all of the things that I had to do to get this car ready for use. “How I rebuilt the tank car”, posted on my Website, includes ALL of the details, and why it was not just a simple ready to run out of the box piece of rolling stock for me.

I have documented the build of my Dead Rail layout and other details, thus far, on my Website, “A Journey Into HO Scale Model Railroading in the 21st Century”. The Website was completely updated during April of 2024.
I have created a playlist for this layout build and using Dead Rail. The playlist is a series of 16 videos, on YouTube, at this time.

As a reminder, I’ve also created a playlist for my “Making and Using a Portable Dead Rail Demonstration HO Layout Parts 1 - 10

My Channel, on YouTube, is noted as Electric Flyers Only of southeastern Michigan, that is because it was originally started for my electric motor, battery powered, RC flying videos.
Enjoy the video and let me know what you think,
Ken
It's a nice tribute to your dad!
