Happy Birthday, layout! Look forward to many more years of videos. =)

Congratulations sir on a beautiful and ambitious layout. Thank you for sharing all your hard work.

Great overview of all your fantastic hard work Mark! Can't wait to see what year five brings!

Happy 4th belated Birthday CB&Q/C&NW railroads in Wyoming. I can only imagine the great accomplishments the next 365 hold for you!

If you hate computers, then why do you use them to print and make your switch lists etc??? Tee Hee

As my late-Aunt used to say when she infrequently visited us from the UK : * My ..... But You Have Grown * ! Congrats Mark on 4 years of sterling commitment and quality work on the CB&Q / CNW In Wyoming; being across ALL aspects of Layout construction and MR-ing ! Your monthly update presentations are always informative and interesting. It was a privilege to have joined youse Guys for OpS during late-October 2023 ! All the best for your future endeavours. Lakka + Cheers For Now / Johnny 🚂 [ PS : I have asked Dave to investigate as to why I have not received payment of my agreed Appearance-Fee ... ! ] 😆

Without Dave, what would get done??? HAHA HAPPY BIRTHDAY CB&Q & CNW in Wyoming!!! That was a nice update!!!! You should really be nicer to Dave!!!!! haha

Happy 4th Birthday to your layout. What a masterpiece, it is truly stunning. Thanks for the update, looking forward to the next one.

Congrats on her 4th birthday!

Happy 4th Birthday to the layout! Thanks for the history and updates, you've made some amazing progress on such a large layout. If I am ever gonna be in Casper...😀

Nice Layout great Action keep up the Awsome Work.

Hope the med tests all show negatives!!!

Thanks a lot Buddy!!!! You wait. I have a camera too. Too bad I deleted some of those plumber pictures I had of you. All in all, it was a Great update, but too short. You should have got more done. As always, I enjoyed the video!!!! Now get busy and finish staging and all the scenery!!!!

Great progress!

Thanks for sharing your progress Mark, always enjoyable!

Looks like a great time!

Funny thing, we have those same wood folding tables at 4:10. I love the long section that's got some landscaping in it. It'll be fun to see the rest get to that point. Congrats on another successful ops sessions and a good month!

Awesome Video Mark, so much progress too. What a large RR, love it. I was on a work trip to the Kent area back in 89'. Happy 4th, be safe and stay well and good luck with upcoming appts.

You've gotten more accomplished in four years than I have in twenty four. Keep up the great work!

Onward and upward !

Another fine update with a lot getting done. Enjoy the holiday weekend! Better check on that Dave guy's water bottle. Might be spiked. 😀

Another Awesome MOnth.... at some point you should put the cronkrite segments together into onw video....

Hi Mark, A month sure flies by! Thanks for the update and glad to see you staging coming closer to being exactly what you need. Love the Cronkite segment! Hope all goes well with your tests. Take care Scott

Very enjoyable video Mark! Thank you! Scott

I really had fun this time. However, you kept me too busy running trains. haha I was overworked big time!!! I was trying to pay you back the next day, but left too soon. Next time I come to your house, I'll try and fix your layout some more. You need all the help you can get. At least I know how to read a level. haha

Hay Mark : I skeem you need a full-time roving Videographer during your OpS; mate .... Pay the AirTicket and I am THERE; Bro ! Nice one and Best Regards to the known * Usual Suspects * who I had the pleasure / privilege of meeting during the End-October 2023 Ops .... And that even includes Mr. David Todd ( Esq ) ! Envious ? Of COURSE I am ! Lakka + Cheers For Now / Johnny 🤙🚂🇿🇦

Great as always Mark. One suggestion....get Dave a step stool.. :)

Great video of reality model railroading! Warts and all! I'm looking forward to the next session.

Looks like a good time, even if Dave is there!!

That looks like fun! Pizza and then Steam locos!

Nice video of the gang running some trains, looking good mark!

I have a few skid marks on my head from working between the two decks. I think if I move I will take that 4x8 sheet of plywood and make a 16"x24' single deck switching railroad, maybe in proto48 but the tolerances are so close.

Oh the joy of double deck construction.

Thanks for the updates. Good to see the progress.

Mark, great monthly progress. Keep it up.

You're track supplier must love you, Mark! And I'm sure your cork provider has you on his Christmas card list. But I'm not sure what kind of message you're sending by spending so much time "laying down on the job". 😆😂😝 As always, I'm amazed at your ability to keep going and going. I just hope to move to a smaller house, but with a good size basement like you have... and have the war chest to afford it. In the meantime, I collect and reflect, modelling vicariously through your monthly updates. 🛤

Goodness, Mark! This month you've gone through an awful lot of work and frustration! Congrats on your preserverance! 😃👍👍

Typical ! Yes; I DID notice your penchant for lying down on the job for days on end to pad-out your monthly update presentation ! Seriously; without an extra pair of experienced hands ( Dave's ? ) available; incrementally and equally raising the Staging-Yard * Ace-Out * [ On your own ]; was certainly one hellovva undertaking ! All in all; looking good Mark. The S-Y will certainly offer-up a new dimension to your OpS ! Well done; ou maat ! 🤙👍💫💥🚂

Hello Mark! I'm sleeping in Billings tonight, need to watch this and get to sleep, plane leaves early in the morning for home. I'll chat more later on....

Fantastic progress this month, Mark!

That is quite an accomplishment Mark! Looking forward to seeing some trains trans-versing staging .... to and fro!

Another great update, Mark. You got a lot done this month! That creeper is a good tool to have, but I would need a Block-and-Tackle setup with some rope to get me standing upright again. 😀

Great update and huge progress! Even with Dave "helping." 😂 This should really enhance your operating sessions.

Looking good Mark. That is a lot of work, wow. My back and neck are shot as it is, so what you are doing is amazing. But it is coming along. and that is the way it is, today June 2024. Stay well and enjoy.

See, without my helping hand, you can actually get a LOT of stuff done. I am amazed at how much you did, and I'm just so proud of you!!!! I knew you could do it all by yourself. I probably should stay home on the 11th so you can get MORE stuff done, so I'll see you on the 25th for the OP Session. You'll be glad I stayed home on the 11th. I'm pretty sure I will be VERY ill on the 11th. I feel it coming on right now. haha Hey, NICE update by the way!!!!!

That sure is a lot of work. 😅. Creeper is a good mrr tool for us old guys. You’re right getting back up is the hardest part.

Great update!

Making progress. The construction plan of your staging yard is fun to watch. Looking to do something similar. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome update Mark! Keep that RIP track crew in line! TCS & BLI is a killer combo. Those will be great! That tie height difference has gotten me a time or 2 as well. Seems crazy that that isn't more standardized. Awesome Awesome work sir.

Even with a bit of a speed bump, you made some great progress! Overall, your plans have worked out really well, and it's pretty much impossible to pull something this complicated off without a little adjustment here and there. I think you've done great! Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing what you have to show next month. =)
