  • This video is a layout update on the progress on my H.O. scale layout. In the past several months I have been focusing on scenery/landscaping. The first half of the video is the update and a mini operating session is the second half of the video. Enjoy!

    I like the way you have put this together. It gives the illusion of being a lot bigger than it really is. Excellent use of space!

  • @sor_cnhagersvillesubdivisi7803

    Love the details on the old un-maintained tracks! Looking good!

    It is very nice to see a smaller layout for a change instead of the multi-deck acre sized ones so often on the model railroading press. You are doing a lot of good work with the space available and making a lot of interesting scenes. On using the corn meal, watch out for attracting critters of some sort to the layout. They often are attracted to especially anything edible.

    Really neat little layout you got there. Looks like a pleasure to build and operate.

    nice IC layout! You've done well with the space and setting. Just proves you can have an ops oriented layout in a roundy-round template. One thing you may consider is to subdue the brightness of the grade crossing lights that face the backdrop. Their flash of color on the wall is quite noticable. Cheers, and looking forward to future updates.

    Hey I like your HO size layout of the ICG layout it really looks nice and good luck to you when you to start adding more to your layout and we can all use some good luck in building or Adding to your layout I know its HO sized but its good

    I though your layout was a lot bigger than what it is. I was surprised when I seen the thumbnail picture for this video and how small it actually is. Your other videos are done so good that it seems so much bigger. That's really cool how you've filmed to make it appear much larger than it is. The grain elevator siding looks great. Scenery looks great and you've got an awesome layout overall. Stay well. -Wil 👍

      @ck7813  Před 3 lety +1

      I know, n scale ICG is tough. Atlas recently released some GP35 in orange/white ICG (DCC and sound) that you might be able to find. Athearn released some n scale SD70s in the black “Death Star” scheme a few years ago. A few are out there, be persistent!

    What are you using your Motorman for? I saw it in your fascia to the right of the weigh station, but you did not talk about it.

    • @ck7813
      @ck7813  Před 2 lety +1

      You have a keen eye. It is not a Motorman, it is an Iowa Scaled Engineering fast clock. I have had it for several years. IA Scaled stopped producing them (I believe I purchased the last one!). They built the Motorman on the same design platform.

    Very nice railroad in a limited space. IC was my favorite railroad growing up and I later modeled it in the early 80's. Black locomotives with the green diamond. GP-35's IIRC. What are those locomotives on your railroad? GP-20's?

    • @ck7813
      @ck7813  Před 3 lety

      The locomotives used in this operating session are Intermountain GP10s. I have a variety of first and second generation diesels. I have GP9s, 10s, 18s, 38-2s, F3A, SD40-2s, SW7 and a few GM&O GP35s.

    Nice layout. This very close to he layout I want to make as I have limited space. Mine will be set in the Sierra foothills in the period between 1958 to the early 60's, though some pieces and engines may not all be perfect period pieces. Hey it's my railroad! The very, very small town will be called "Graysonville" after a dear pet Maine Coon cat of the same basic name. He was just "Grayson". What did you use for the foundation of your hills - they look very good.

      Nope, I live in Iowa. The layout is technically a freelance layout, it doesn't represent an actual town, per se, but it pretty much could be any small town in Iowa or Illinois back in the 80s.
