It’s always a pleasure to see how other modellers do things. Thank you for sharing your wonderful layout.

Hello Carl, I love your layout. Nice work! I’m building my layout for the first time. A logging camp. Your layout gives me a lot of ideas. I really like the log loading crane and I want to build it. But I just can’t see the details of it. Like how it turns, and the cables and where they go, and what powers it up. Any suggestions to help me out? Thanks, John

Carl, I just checked NWSL Website…they the new gears for the 3tr Shay’s now for sale! YEA!

Hello Carl, thank you for responding to my earlier question regarding the models on your layout. What kits are the two engine houses on your layout. Thank you Lynn

Hello Carl, very nice layout, well done. What kit are you using for the sawmill’s office/storage facility at the beginning of the west end? Lynn

I have never seen a video done in such a concise manner. A crisp explanation of the operation and then a great show of the operation without talking or other interuption. Thankyou...well done.

Carl this video is so good ❤ no words would justified my feeling on how great your rail road is 👍👍👍 Now I'm going to look at all your videos you have noted

Carl, did you guys those Steel Gears recently? I’ve got 4 Shay’s, and want to replace the gears, but haven’t been able to find them. Mike

Carl, I noticed that the rear tender truck wheels were dragging as if one of the brake shoes were rubbing.

I just realized I was subbed to you for model trains, and now you post this! Perfect!

Thank you for the video. I found an Earlier English's kit of the same tooling this morning hiding at the back of a NYC hobby shop with no documentation and this will be a big help.

You mentioned the brand of the building kits you used, but I didn't catch it. Sounded like "MicroSkillKits"...is that correct ? Can't seem to find it. Thanks.

Sir, you truly are a master modeler! The fine detail of your layout is absolutely outstanding! A thing of awe and beauty!

Mate that is incredible I love it

well done sir..looks fantastic...Brass makes a difference, i have two Rivarossi 0-4-0 A5's that run decent, but using your vid to give me ideas..Nice build. thanks for sharing.

Wonderful details

Love your railroad. That is my favorite kind of scenery for a model railroad. You did an excellent job.

I feel your pain, brother. Those Bachmann Shays, Climaxes, etc. are very disappointing. I also got suckered into buying more than my fair share of HO and On30 units. My problem is that I have the geared loco monkey on my back making bad decisions. And now NWSL isn't making much in the way of replacement gears any more. Ah well. The Bachmann parts store sometimes have replacements, but I'm not so sure I want to throw more money at Bachmann for something that is likely to fail in a similar fashion. Rumor has it that the replacements are better. I'm not so sure. As you found out, if the gears themselves don't fail, there are still a number of other items made from the same plastic to fail. (couplings, joints, etc.) Thanks for the video. Always good to see updates to your layout, etc. On my next layout, I will be "borrowing" some of your benchwork construction ideas. :)

You are truly an artist. Thank you for sharing.

What a great layout! Thank you for sharing your miniature world art and modeling with us.

It's a Bachman that explains your problem right there

You can set the metal gears on the burner of a coffee maker for 30 seconds or so then install on shaft with your pliers, make sure you have a little back-lash on the gears by moving gears slightly on the shaft to increase or decrease endplay.

Very cool layout. I love it.

Good to see you Carl!!! Great job as usual!

Can’t find the gears in stock. My shay will arrive Friday. Don’t know if it needs gears or not yet. I’m sure it will

I still have mine NIB. I figure I will need to replace them at some point.

I wonder if you put the shaft in the freezer and then the metal gears in boiling water if that would help the process.

Great video. I need to do this as well. One question - the shafts on the universal joints are also disconnecting on my shay. Doesn't supergluing them defeat the universal joint action? And once glued in place do all the truck shafts have to come out in one piece? (truck one to power, power to truck two and truck two to truck three? Thanks for posting. -Scott H

Very nice layout and tour, beautiful is more accurate. As far as coal mining in the PNW, probably a political thing and rightly disregarded in Model Railroading and elsewhere. Thank you for the tour.

Same theme 76 yrs old will i make it ?? have all the buildings and room and no lay out yet ,like the idea of tug boats which i have different types etc wish you had a book on this great lay out thank you for any reply.trees lay out track ho .tips for pine trees very costly .

Good layout.

Again, absolutely a beautiful layout! Im also building a point to point logging layout (also ho scale) named “ Black River Logging” I have scratch built my saw mill and want to scratch build a 2 stall engine house like the one on your layout as my locomotives are a 3 truck Shay and a 2 truck Heisler. I was wondering i f could bother you for at least the dimensions of how far between the tracks center to center and the height of the door. This would give me an idea on how big to build the shed Thank you in advance! If this not possible please disregard my request. Watching your Clear Lake Timber videos has been a huge inspiration for me! Thanks again Dick

Absolutely wonderful layout!

I noticed the front wheel set on the rear tender truck not rolling well. I've built 3 of these 1 with the open frame motor and 2 with the can and gear box. one of the gear box versions has a bit of a hitch when I don't keep the rear loco axle oiled ,I probably should of opened that saddle just a bit more .

What a fantastic layout. You have managed to pack a lot in and at the same time avoiding making the layout too crowded. I was wondering that when you cut and inclined the ply trackbed the plan dimensions would've become slightly shorter. Where little make up bits required or was the difference insignificant?

Just stumbled on your channel and love the videos and your methodical, unrushed style of presenting. As a modeller it is always good to see 'behind the scenes' and how you have tackled both the construction of the railroad and the practicalities of moving it. Presumably the completed, assembled railroad had to be slid into it's final position against the walls? Was this straight forward? Did it need lots of helpers to push it?

I have a Weyerhaeuser Shay just like yours. My plan is to build a logging layout and your video is very inspiring. Well done (video and layout)!

Truly amazing. Way to go, Carl! Thanks for sharing.

I also preplanned my hon3 logging layout so that it can be moved in one piece. It is 96”x52” and no greater than 24” high. The rolling legs are on a separate structure so the layout comes off. It will take a person at each corner and tipped sideways it will fit through a standard bedroom door opening. No worse than moving a full sized freezer/refrigerator.

Incredible, like watching and listening to Bob Ross do a painting. One of the best layout moves I've seen performed. It is all in the pre-planning it appears. Well done!

Incredibly detailed layout sir. Your video brings back some wonderful memories of my father, who loved geared Shay locomotives. He built a beautiful Sierra Nevada logging layout. He would be 89 this year.

wuaoooo wonderfull congratulations

Hi Carl. I too have built my layout in modules (about 20) with a manual so that someone can disassemble / reassemble when the time comes. All the buss wires are below deck so I don't have an electronics cabinet but you have convinced me of the wisdom of that. Well done on the move and congratulations on the restart assembly!!!

Very nice I also want to build a layout that can be moved I have been trying to figure it out I learned alot from you thank you so much you answered alot of questions I have been asking myself thank you again plus the quality of your video was excellent

A Testament to experience. You have designed the whole frame/joins/set up perfectly. And the key as you say is labelling, so glad it all came back together Carl, it's one of the best logging layouts out there. Please do some extended operating session for us, we enjoy seeing these and looking at your layout. All the best. Brian

Hello Mr. Brainerd, Love your layout, and thank you so much for taking the time to video the move. I thank you for showing the details and all around view of the layout. Great Layout!

Well done Carl. The planning and indeed pre planning was impressive.

Huzzah! Congrats on a successful outcome!

just curious, does a ceiling fan add dust to the layout? I was always under the impression not to have moving air in the train room. great preplanning!

Wow, a lot of work there Carl. Well done very interesting to see each stage and behind the layout, you have given me some ideas for the valance and hanging sky.
