I’m so glad you like my layout and the update , thanks for taking the time to comment!
Thanyou so much for the vid. You have done a fantastic job of both scenery & weathering. Just gorgeous. Michael NZ
Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying the films!
Excellent work!
Thanks so much, keep watching!!
🇧🇷🚂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very nice Layout!!
Congratulations!
Thanks very much, I'm glad you are enjoying the films!
That weathered Southern Pacific is really nice looking. Very Realistic.
Thanks! And cheers for watching my video 😊
Very nice conceptualization of you layout. I like your honest recounting of your thinking as you moved through the layout building process. Having the branch in your study with to larger layout in the garage seems like it will scratch two issues effectively. I've subscribed and thank you for sharing.
Hi there, thanks very much- I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Nice layout. Fairview should have a feed mill or grain elevator and an oil dealer as many small North American/Canadian towns would have these. Cheers
That’s a good idea thanks, though my layout is already pretty cramped - I dream of a bigger layout room one day to fit in more industries!
Hi Ian, I only just found your channel, and I'm very impressed with your layout. It's very interesting and I like the way you have essentially, two layouts in different areas, one above the other; much as I do! My lower layout is my main one, set in modern day times on the Ohio / Indiana / Kentucky border, while the upper layout is set in the Pacific North West in 1979! I'll be watching your channel with much interest as you progress.
Hi there thanks for your feedback - I'd never thought about a different era on the top deck but I like that idea a lot!!
Cool railroads, nice layout
Thanks so much!
Another fantastic video. Well maintained love the deminstration on video 30. Always greatness on the model railroad layout. I enjoy watching.

So glad that you enjoyed the video!
Hi bud, great update. There was a lot of good ideas and information in this one. I really enjoy watching your video's. That scene on the new upper deck with the grade crossing and the power poles looks awesome, the composition of that scene looks great, like a real life area. I hope to see a switching opps video of the upper deck. Keep up the fantastic work friend, take care, Dave B.
Cheers, I appreciate your comments!
Great layout tour awesome video and scenery work 🚂😎🫵 TSM
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating video, thanks for posting. You have some great ideas for staging a larger layout in a smaller area. By the way, I really like your weathered rolling stock.
Hi, thanks for your support - I'm glad you like the layout!
That is a well detail, narrated and explain video. I really enjoy what you do. I am very interested in operations (car cards, waybills, job document, jmri etc..)
Thanks again Syl, I think I may do some future videos focussing on operations. Cheers, Ian
@@ianroberts6929 I may have a video of a real potash train if you are interested...
@@MLWQCalways! Thank you!!
Cool vidoe. YA speed matching is no joke. I've gotten really good at it. Also learned that using multiplke decoders makes it harder. Especially the locos with Proprietary decoders. Scale trains for example i dumped the lok sound decoder and put in a Tsunami 2. Lost lost of lights. Sucks they have to do that!
Yes I'm beginning to realise that too many decoders can cause problems. I am determined to get this sorted over the winter months!
😊 Nice video from the great state of ohio😊
Thanks. Welcome to the Channel!
BTW your exSP is a SD38 or SD39 evident by the two longhood radiator fans(SD40 has three).And your UP 1337 is a GP40-2😊

Interesting layout . I think some more scenery would help. What you've done is good.
Thanks for your interest - yes the landscaping is a long, slow process but I'm getting there bit by bit!
GO YOU 'R's!!!
Excellent looking layout, looks like you have a wide variety of motive power and paint schemes, just like the 1:1 railroads. Any eastern US (NS or CSX) power?
Hi thanks for your kind comments - I really like the CSX colours so I'm on the lookout for something suitable to run as 'foreign power', but locos are not that easy to get hold of here in the UK!
Haven't watched the whole clip yet. Only a couple of minutes into it but I like what you're driving at: kind of making your own rules and railroad. Why not just create your own paint scheme, corporate logo, etc...? That's what I do in N-scale, but modeling Texas and it's industries.
Hi thanks for your comments - I have wondered about a paint scheme before, maybe I'll give it a try one day!
@@ianroberts6929 It's something to consider. The legendary Allen McClelland's free-lanced, original railroad, The Virginian and Ohio, is what got me into the hobby eons ago, (@1970).
Mine is called The Texas Gulf Line and I keep, to-form, what Texas railroads haul - lots of oil, petrolchemicals and grain, and intermodal.
hey quick question, What Radius curves do you use on your layout?
My minimum radius on the corners of the layout are 24”, and I add easements as the curves transition back to the straight. Thanks for your query, hope that helps!
