Picked these up at Hobby Lobby. Can’t remember the brand name. But any brand of the 2mm foam hobby sheets will work fine. You can find these in the art/crafts area at most retail stores. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the feedback! Heard that from others as well. So future “how-to” videos will not have background music.

@@JosephMusgrove Thanks Joseph. These kits arev great, and I have a couple in the cupboard waiting to be built. Your video will be a great help in giving me the confidence to start. Happy Christmas.

@@ScottTaipaleRail Thanks Scott!

So glad you found the video useful! I am going to try and get more how-to videos out so stay tuned! Hey, nothing wrong with promoting something you love. I will give a shout-out to the museum and post the website address my next layout update. Cheers!

@@AndrewRiha Glad you enjoyed it Andrew! I use 18-gauge copper stranded for my feeders and connect these to my bus wires using 3M suitcase connectors. For soldering the feeders to my track, I use rosin core solder made for electronics. I do not use flux paste. I tend to go overkill when it comes to smooth and reliable operations. So I have a pair of feeders for every track section and turnout sections. I also equip my locomotives with TCS Keep Alive’s.

@@JosephMusgrove Thank you for the information.

@@chrishartz2397 Thanks Chris!

@@CurtBergStillLoves2PlayTrains Thanks Curt!

@@AllenCNW441 I went with Micro-Engineering turnouts when I started building the layout. But actually had to exchange several for defects including overuse of glue during the manufacturing process. That was right before the company was sold. But unless something changes in quality, I plan to stay with Peco.

All Peco turnouts all the time!!

And Caboose Industries throws-a lot easier than under the layout switch machines!

@@goaliegeorge Yep! Great product!

​@@JosephMusgroveespecially if you use the, more to scale, N scale sprung version.

@@thecnwmondovilinepaulscota7304 Thanks! Like you, I have decided one Tichy water tower build is all I can take. 😉

@@Ken-Kaef Hi Ken! The layout room is 18x15. The layout itself is 30-inches wide and runs along the parameters of the walls.

@@JosephMusgrove Thanks Joseph. You are doing a great job. Cheers Ken😀

@@laspiedrasrailroad Thanks!

@@wessparkmon2395 Thanks and certainly agree!

Thanks!

Thanks for asking! Doing fine. Actually posted an update back in August and currently working on an October update.

@@CurtBergStillLoves2PlayTrains Thanks Curt!

@@robc2536 Glad you enjoyed it!

@@CurtBergStillLoves2PlayTrains Thanks Curt! Request received and will get you a panoramic view!

@@JosephMusgrove yes! Thank you!

@@garymartz7587 Thanks Gary!

@@KandWRailroader Thanks!

@@kcsthebetterway Thanks for the info on the KCS locomotives. I have a Van Buren/Fort Smith car spotting guide issued to M.P. crews assigned to the area. It contains a basic track map to include yard and industry tracks, names of each industry, car spotting positions, etc.

@@JosephMusgrove they are a great tool for track planning.

Thanks Aaron!

@@rickzander4859 Found the easiest way is to create a template with soldering wiring. Basically you carefully shape the wire along the curves and within the curve. You can then place the wire on the foam and carefully cut along the wire. Before gluing down the foam, you can trim as needed. (Wheel spacing for example)

@@davestrains6816 Thanks Dave!

@@Hornhausen Glad you enjoyed the video!

@@aaronl_trains_and_planes Thanks!

@@aaronl_trains_and_planes The train was an hour late coming in from Springdale due to a locomotive failure. They must have just added the replacement to the consist without pulling the problem child. They had some gremlins that day. Locomotive failure, air-conditioning failed on one coach, and the air-conditioning blower in the dome was not working.

@@JosephMusgrove Sounds like the trip I took last year. Train was an hour late coming back to VB. The Engines were fine, it was the generators and A/C on 2 of the coaches that kept breaking down. And it was the first hot day they had had that year. Other than that it was a great trip.

@@chrisbell52310 I was concerned when the A&M purchased EMDs a few years back. But looks like they will keep the ALCOs running as long as they can!

@@mccoy79productions66 Thanks!

Glad you found the video helpful!

Glad you enjoyed the video! I am also a member.

Glad you enjoyed the video! The buildings are flats made by Trackside Flats. They are photos attached to foam core. I also have some made by PTF Designs. PTF designs include builtin LED lights on their buildings you can connect to a power source. Both vendors can be found on eBay. The prices are extremely reasonable.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks Patrick!

Thanks! You can purchase the kits through the Missouri Pacific Historical Society. I got lucky and found this model on eBay.

@@JosephMusgrove Awesome thank you so much. I remember seeing one of these while out railfanning in Newport, Arkansas and always stuck to my mind.

I took that picture several years ago and do not remember what railroad the locomotive served. I will look back through my photos to see if I can get that info for you.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Many thanks!

Thanks Paul!

Thanks! Yep, even slow and steady you will get there!

Thanks! Glad to help. Shoot me an email: musgrovejb@gmail.com

Thanks! If you ever get this way, you have free tickets to the Big Foot museum! 😉

@@JosephMusgrove 😂😂Thanks

Thanks!

Thanks Jack! Leaning towards going with a G scale Bigfoot. If the alien theory is correct, may have to include burned tree tops and landing pad indentions!

Love it!

Oh the horror! 😁
