turned out nice, but why not leave the parts on the sprue until you need them...save the tape, save the christmas wrap, save the time, came out great thou...

That was very interesting concept with the parts to the paper. Good pointers in this one, the printed parts looked great! Nice project! (Dave).

nice job, to bad they don't give you long enough parts for the base, but really turned out nice with the ones you printed off.

I ❤️ my ho scale trains

I love the abandoned track!

This didgitrax stuff is completely obtuse, or maybe it’s me, but this stuff drives me nuts. All I want to do is make a 4 digit address, I give up. Good gosh I just wanna play trains ugh

Another great video. Really cool Caboose/ Shoving Platform .

Show us a prototype photo

Nice boxcar. To bad paint job is not accurate to the prototype.

I thought Soundfcar includes brake squeel ?

Awesome video, and I dont even have a dcc system yet. Still doing my homework 😏

Incrediable scenery blending

Track warrants are fun to keep up with on a 1:87 scale layout.

Excellent Video and very informative.

Congratulations. Wonderful smart layout. Thank you for sharing.

Simple and Scenic is a way to go. You could go to a upper deck too.

The only space my wife will let me have is a 38" x 82" layout in our spare bedroom. That means my O gauge Lionel world is a figure eight, with 4 interior spurs. Believe me, you have a fabulous layout.

Looks ok to me whatever works for you.. Cool video and have a wonderful rest of your weekend.(Steve)

I was wondering, what's the purpose of removing the ties from the track? I've seen it in other videos also.

Something is definitely better than nothing! Looks great!

Although you have used 2 nuts and bolts to connect the sections together, I also use a couple of 10mm or 3/8inch location dowels either side, that go all the way though both ends of the sections, so there can be no twisting (which can happen with just bolts). Just a suggestion to consider, and I suppose it also depends on your humidity changes.

Nice video, Steven! I really enjoyed it! Given the realities of having to work with a confined area and still wanting to operate both continuous running and industrial switching, I think you have hit a home run with your track plan. Using plywood to insure that you have as straight of lumber as possible is something I learned years ago... I still screw and glue, but in reality nails should work just fine. Looking forward to seeing more as this progresses, keep me in the loop as you work on the Walthers Turntable. I have built a couple of them years ago and sometimes they can be a bear to power and make functional. Mine were both early versions with the built-in drive, but if you have any issues, be sure to hit me up at Lee's and I'll be more than happy to help. Bruno

Great idea love the layout for temporary until you build your dream layout but how about this idea you may have to backtrack cut out the staging track back to the switch and build an a ramp going down under the layout and build your staging on the back wall under the layout at least maybe four tracks at least you have a place to park like Amtrak train and you don’t have to put it on the layout. Once the other train leaves track. It’ll be parked on the track already, that’s an idea if you want to try, but like I said, it’s more work

Very nice video Steven this is Zane I’m wanting too get a Safety Green Union Pacific Safety Vest Regular Size from the Mount Vernon Subdivision or any Union Pacific Subdivision at there Yard Office Maintenance Shop a Regular Size one I have Autism ADHD and OCD Anxiety and Depression and I’m 23 years old and I’m so obsessed with Union Pacific and Union Pacific Safety Vests

Beautiful layout, just hit the 1K likes👍 Not surprised

Thanks for sharing this function in JMRI. 👍👍 I was thinking about buying a device to measure loco speed to help with speed matching. I can just use IR sensors and Arduino to do this.

Nice video! I remember when it was a busy piece of railroad. Back then, you could go trackside in the afternoon/early evening and catch a half a dozen trains in a few hours. You forgot to mention my cameo at 5:28 to 5:37. 😂😂😂

I love a good railfan guide! Well done, Steven!

STOP! no former, modeler otbrail enthusiasts wants to see the same old stack train over and over and over again! We care about about history of the line, topography of the area, branch lines, locals and short lines in the area, HEP, DPU's if they have them. Not the same old stack train or manifest train that we can see over and over again in any state in America.

I really dislike the 602 and am having a very hard time getting used to it. The DT500 was far more intuitive and comfortable in my opinion... it's still my go-to and the 602 sits unused most of the time.

I love the sounds and the cornfield scenes. Turned out so good! Underneath the bridges is awesome too.

Great work. Don't know what you charge, but it even if it's reasonable, I think in this situation it would have been better to sell this to a DC only guy and buy one with DCC and sound.

We had a steam engine go through our backyard in noble years ago. Also a couple circus trains. Leta

Illinois Terminal was a famous interurban electric railroad until around 1955 when passenger service was abandoned and freight was converted to diesel power. Sadly this model is dated in the diesel era and I didn't see ANY TRACE of the previous all-electric era!

Nice layout Steve.

Great layout. UP Locomotives by Walthers have great pulling power on the coal train and also look great on the Pass train. Mike HO from Australia

Update. I can not get my locomotive to respond when switched to the cab number. If I set to AD4 and CV17 and 18 it won't work. If I reset it to factory its fine. It's a ESU Decoder. Any ideas?

Nice!

Well done! We were near Shannon, IL

I purchased the DC version for the New Haven railroad. Although the locomotive looks great (however the green is more of an olive drab which seems incorrect to me), the performance of the engine on the slightest incline is poor at best. Pulling a consist of three Walthers Mainline PS1 boxcars, one Atlas Trainman PS1 cover hopper and one 50 foot open hopper (Trainman as well) along with a caboose, caused the speed to drop by at least 50%. The engine seems way to light and I regret my purchase. I do not recommend the DC version to anyone. Please note, none of my other Walthers , Bowser or Atlas engines have this issue.

This video helped me a lot to program my first DCC locomotive. Your videos on the digitrax system are great. I found a CV calculator on the Digitrax website. Just plug your cab number in, and it gives you CV17 and 18.

I do love RS-3s, almost the only diesel I really do like. Contemporary engines are just, I don't know, too block like. I do like some of those sleeker types though. I'm really more a steam enthusiast.

Very nice 🤠

Nice Review, Steven! BN received RS3s from the Spokane Portland & Seattle... the Locomotive you recall at French Lick is an RS1 formerly on the Duluth South Shore & Atlantic. At the Monticello Railway Museum, we had an RS3 that at one time belonged to the Long Island Railroad...so using your RS3 on a Tourist Train would be entirely plausible. Will be fun to see what you do with this locomotive... hopefully you will bring it to Lee's soon and we can all see and hear it out on the UPSF!

Hi Steve & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Steve & Friends Randy

As incredible as the entire layout is, my personal favorite minor detail is the rusted/corroded corrugated sheathing on the small barn/shop/shed with the rusty edges. Fantastic!

I've been to Petes house, super nice guy.

Great concept ! Fine scenery and lots of operating possibilities ! Everything within arm length and a long mainline run. What more can you want ?

Oh please, somebody needs to chock that chicken in the background...😂😮
