Puts my little barge to shame lol
It looks great keep up the work
Thanks!
Nice I love your model train layout, great job.
GT!
Nice update Kevin. Love the large freighter. And the Culver’s came out great. For it being summertime, you got a lot accomplished. Nice work. Dave
Thank you. The Culver's kit impressed me. All the parts fit together very well. Now I need to get all 3 freighters detailed
Looks great! Love the details… I just drove over the International Bridge a couple of times last week. Also went for a walk along the Canadian locks - but that got cut short by a sudden heavy rainstorm… You’re doing a great job!
Thank you for the comment. Aside from the rain, hopefully you had a good day
Hey Kevin…great spot for the Culver’s…love all the water scenes on your layout…
Thank you. I always felt the Great Lakes had to be a big part of my layout
It would be cool if you added weathering to the paintwork and used epoxy for the water.
Weathering will occur in the future. This layout is far from complete
I ❤463. The thunder chicken lives
top short
Cool stuff. Sorry about your dad.
Thank you. He's definitely missed
Your layout is amazing
Awesome video
Great layout
Nice update
Nice update Kevin…some nice vehicles…like the picnic scene…found a couple of those CAT’s at a flea market…10 bucks a piece 👍🏽
Great video
Awesome video keep them up
Your roundhouse area at the very beginning does look alot like the ACTUAL Alpena location--- good job!
Thank you 😊
Very nice 😊
I love Soo LINE trains❤
Amazing build! Good job!
Thank you! 😁
I find it funny how big the box is, also, my scaletrains non articulated autorack suggests a minimum of 24” but I ran it on 18” lol
I’m an old school DC guy. Consequently, my stock is of higher quality & lower price. For $50-$90 each, I have 3 Proto 2000 locomotives, 2 Atlas/Katos, 3 Stewart/Katos, all NOS in their original boxes I’ve picked up off EBay in the past few months….. just sayin’
That bridge scene is awesome Kevin…where in Michigan are you…my in-laws are in Muskegon…if your near I’d live to visit next time I’m up there
I'm on the other side of Michigan, more towards Flint
Like the port huron and detroit boxcars. Surprised, they made it that far north.. Atlas or Exact rail?
Walthers Mainline
Ah cool, forgotten about walthers.As a kid growing up in Port Huron area those cars were everywhere in various staging yards and spurs. Sadly not many left anymore in that livery. All repainted
Wow! That is an amazing layout. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice detail additions to the layout Kevin..great job with the Walthers fencing…feel the same about the WS fencing
Didn't know about the solar panel kit. I'll have to check that out. Too cool!
They're part of the Walthers SceneMaster modern trackside detail set. Around $25 or so
Nice Layout.👍👍👍👍.
[thank, you for youre great video]👍👍
Cool update. Nice fencing. And I like the trackside details too
Thanks 👍
Woodland scenics always made cool stuff, these are no different. They are very cool! I would like to add some trailer homes to my o scale at some point, and now that I've seen yours it gives me something to think about. Love your layout by the way!
I highly recommend. There very nice. Thank you
You should review the Atlas Auto-Train U36B
Speaking About 1601, I’ve Went To Detroit To See Her!
My Hats🎩🎩off to you you covered a lot of Michigan,very nice 👍🏻 🚂🚂
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice layout overview Kevin…international bridge is a great feature
Thank you very much 😊
Watching now ! Brian
Hope you enjoyed it!
cool freighter! i'm fortunate my layout is in the house and we have a cat on the prowl :D
The N scale layout is at our summer place in northern MI and there is no basement. The rodents seem to favor certain items on the layout. I put those in the plastic bin and the mice seem to leave the layout alone now. Freighter is a Sylvan resin kit
I love how spread out your layout is. Great scenery and trackwork.
Thanks a bunch!
As a Michigander, very interesting!
I love the little hang out run sessions that purport a 10-15 minute video.
Nice layout! looks fun to operate.
It is!
I just picked one of these up. I like it very much.
It's an awesome building
Looking good!
Thanks!
0:26 where could i procure a tower similar to that?
Bought it at the Lansing MI train show from vendor "bill Bob's fly by nite operations" out of Toledo, OH. They had a website, but it's no longer working
@@KevinsTrainsGLE Well just my luck. Thank you. Seems like it sure beats gluing toothpicks together like i have less than a handful of times
Very nice layout. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice...but ya skipped Hamburg, man!!! I like the little "taste" of the various areas. Great idea!
Yes I get the same crap about my backdrops and I’m thinking it’s my layout I’ll do them the way I want to! Nice layout!
I agree, and thank you! ☺️
It's 2 years after you posted this video, and I just ordered a couple of these auto racks, largely based on your review. I have 27" minimum radius. I liked the idea of what effectively are 2 shorter auto racks than the big 86 foot single car ones that would hang way over on the curves. Currently on sale at Yankee Dabbler for $54.99, which seemed like a good deal.
That does sound like a good deal. I'm glad my review helped you out. Glad to hear that ☺️. You shouldn't have any trouble with these on 27in curves.
