thank you for detail video yes big layout do take long slow build on the layout that long term love working slow detail the build and joy get model railroad in the hobby

WOW you are really good at building things thanks for sharing

Hi 👋🏻 Jason. WOW 😮 I can’t believe it’s been 6 years since I started watching your channel 👍🏻 it’s all about your layout and for us to enjoy it and hopefully learn some tips 😀 family life is important. Take care Stevie🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I've been looking far and wide for good module woodwork designs, thanks a lot. I have the same DCC Concepts dowels but they're an expensive option if you have several modules. Would using threaded rod alone be enough?

My mop wasn`t free, I paid plenty at zee hardware mart.

so the blue dowels guarantee that the modules fit time and again "flush" -and with the threaded steel rods you keep modules tightly together, is that right? looks very neat and well executed

Greetings Jason. Those modules are looking good!🤗 So, in your free-mo group, do you have to make a standard interface and track plan location on your end modules that aligns with other members' modules? . . . . . 🚂Lawrence

Very nice. Solid modules for building on. Looking forward to seeing more on the escarpment. Thanks for sharing.

Hi ya Jason. Good to see you. I’m always interested in whatever you are working on. And a balance to life and hobby is super important. Even more so when you have to record and edit. Take care. See ya next time.

Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done. This is very detailed.

What paint did u use to paint it? Painting some of my statues, that glossy black looks nice.

that is a very big print i have a printer i had to replace the motherboard and now i cant get it to work it hasnt work for at less 6 months now

Very helpful Jason, this video will make it a lot more accessible for people trying to upgrade their printers. Great Job.

Cool, this looks like a custom job.

Jason, Your build outs are excellent. I have been scouring UA-cam for 2 years for help with my HO train building and your ideas are in a class of their own. I have adopted your technique of wiring my Tortoise switch machines in parallel with my indicator panel and have added bipolar LEDS to each track of a turnout on my control panel so that you have RED/GREEN indicators changing color to show which track is open (green) and which is closed (red). A little bit more wiring, but is a helpful indicator. I still have lots of DPDT switches to wire, so would you be willing to share with me the contact information for the custom PCB company you used. I would assume they have your design on file. Did you use standard miniature DPDT switches or PCB design (Love My Switches web site) ? long or short lugs for PCB. Thanks, Ben

Just curious why you used a level on each piece that was installed- Since there is a slope, wouldn't that mean the pieces would not be level?

Where did you obtain the slip ring for the wires? Thank. Nicky done

Nice job there. I had seen on another video that if you install the hinges on top of the left section and the table and installed some 1/4 “ plywood under the hinges and on top of the tables you get over the swing problem.

Hi mate, I have a 130' table on the way and would like to mod it like yours. Any chance you could send me the .stl for the slip ring holder? I've been looking for something like this over the past few weeks, excellent work! My BLI Big Boy and FEF will thank you.

Hi Jason, Would you be able to help me with my wiring/control panel set up?

Nice build Will definitely be using this as a guide for my own freemo builds.

Your thoughts about the future of the hobby are spot on Jason. I am from the UK in which railway modelling, is going through a period of "realignment". The rivet counters have a place, they set standards which intimidate newcommers and especially the younger generation. Railway modelling is different things to different people and those who prescribe perfection will kill the hobby. If it makes you happy to sit in a different place on the accuracy spectrum, do it!

you always crack me up lol but layout looks great

Fun video! Greetings from the KMR!

Well Jason, that was an interesting video and lots of never-before-seen (by me) views of the underbelly. Yes, a different take on "things" - and I even pressed the Like Button, above. (Somebody's got to do it!)🤗Cheers! . . . . . . . 🚂Lawrence

Hi Jason, good to see you and a cracking set of clips highlighting what you have achieved in the most unique way. Not only are you an excellent model railway builder you’re also a top editor and most of all actor, I think Hollywood will be in touch mate!!😂 Brilliant Jason, thoroughly enjoyed it, cheers for now, John

That's entertainment.

Very good Jason

hello Jason, top work as always :) on several occasions during this video, behind your back at the wall is a drawing of the layout -what are the dimensions of your railroad? best regards

Thanks, mate.

Don’t you just love the Aussie attitude to the British formal facade, where everything must be just so? Jason, although your come across as laid back and DILLIGAF, underneath there beats an eye and heart for getting things done correctly and not slap dash, detail and CRAFTSMANSHIP, are the order of the day. Think about the power drawer - absolute perfection, that is the foundation of your “little” project. Thank you for showing us all the ups and downs. Cannot wait for the dressing of the Escarpment, ballast and scenery- they will be WOW. 👏👏👏

What a great video and it shows all the hard work you have done and put in to make this fantastic layout come to life.. well done. Geez that bloody assistant hey.. did you notice all of your hair styles and facial hair growths... a fun video.. nice to see all the good times.. ~;0) and the ..................................

JASON PUT LOT GREAT VIDEO AND SHOW IS TRUE REAL LIKE OTHER PEOPLE TRY BUILD DETAIL VIDEO

A fun video, filled with introductions, clips, outtakes and not forgetting the Assistant! Here is a links to all my video content on my channel: www.youtube.com/@JasonWood_Escarpment/videos

Super great layout !!

You may have already seen (Marklin of Sweden) channel but if not check it out regarding the toilet paper method lots of different ways to use it in scenery. I have been using it for about 6 years, I also used it on a display layout at an historical village.

Looking good

Jason your layout is looking great you have years ahead for creating and enjoying, we all need a break and change from time to time. I have my model railways and war gaming. With your scenery the newspaper as a base then I would use toilet paper on top it does take a bit longer then plaster but it clean and their is no waist of materials. You can create any shapes you want, you end up with a snowy white base which becomes quite hard and paints really well. Like your ideas about Freemo, I have had to downsize in the last two years and have been looking at ways to have smaller layouts modules. I have one question what made you chose Formboard and how heavy are you modules. Thanks looking forward to seeing your progress.

Afternoon Jason really like what you are doing here, is there a standard for curves? i did check the ARMA web site although it wasn't very clear.

Very nice work. Well planned and neat. I have two questions please. Why did you go with wood blocking to support your levels as opposed to threaded Rod? Also, did you find it difficult to get the first level’s blocks to the correct heights and miter/slope? This seems like it is critical and not easy to do. Again, very well done. Great video. Thank you.

Jason, you do museum quality work.

Jason, thanks for the explanation! The Walthers turntables hve a weaklink in the bridge connection. Gives a lot of trouble, I know because i have the 130ft. This modification is a very good one! I will look into it to do myself!

SWEET CONSTRUCTION! Keep up the great content.

A very informative video; and timely too ! I am working on similar modules, but to N-Rail standards. I painted each piece before assembling them into the module -- easier for me to paint them unassembled -- so I will only need to do touch-ups. I am using pocket-hole screws so there will be no holes to fill and paint over. Also, anything that I can do with the framing members prior to assembly, I am doing -- including installation of Digitrax control panels; brackets to hold my points control panels; barrier terminal blocks for wiring connections; etc. Manipulating single pieces is far simpler than trying to deal with a fully assembled module. Your decision to inset the points controls and the DCC system panels is brilliant. In my case, since I want to include an back-lit track diagram, my points control panel will be removable for storage within the underside of the frame for transport/storage (held in place with magnets). I do like how you built the legs. How long are they ? They look to be almost as long as the module. Since I have mobility issues (I can't reach anything at floor level), I am not entirely sure how to make the legs adjustable from the top. I could put adjustable feet at the top of the leg (rather than at the floor); but how can I reach them for adjustment when the legs are in place ? So I am kind of stuck. I am looking forward to seeing how you install the alignment pins as that is something I have yet to sort out. How will you be handling where the rails cross the joints between modules ? I have some plain printed circuit board (PCB) which I plan to glue along the edge of the module where the tracks cross, and then solder the rails to the PCB. The PCB is about the same thickness as the ties (sleepers) and I am thinking of cutting the PCB to mimic the shape and spacing of the ties. Of course, I will remove the copper plating between the rails to prevent creating a short circuit.

Great work. Are the baseboard tops at the same height as the main layout so you can use it as a spur? Bob

THANK YOU SHARE GREAT DETAIL VIDEO AS GREAT JOY WATCHING
