It would be a lot better with out music.

Another great video ! As always. Don't know how I missed it when it came out. Thanks for sharing.

Look good man good job

been a bit since I seen what you guys are up too.. hope ya post a video soon,, miss ya guys and the layout

Great video and tips. Subbed

I have a layout i started on since 81 and i an still working on it

Use a push pin (map pin?) to hold the turnout in central position and another one to hold the ground throw in position while you put a track pin through the other hole in the ground throw.

Rather than pinning the rail an alternative option might be super or hot gluing it to the paper in a few spots with slots for a few key ties cut out so you can place them underneath for soldering after you have glued the rails in the correct position on the paper. Even better if you create a notch which ties can be put into and be flush with the surface on which the template sits. Downside is you would need to get the glued paper off once done and each "template" only can be used once but less worry that you will somehow muck up the gauging after you have got it right or when soldering.

Just cherish those moments you spend with your dad. My dad taught me everything and I miss him dearly. Cheers from eastern TN

Thanks for the tips on the work bench! I have never tried to build a turn out but they look great.

Very interesting video, I enjoyed watching 👍🏻

I just got my Micro Mark MicroLux mini table saw today in the mail, so I've been cutting HO scale lumber all day. Your layout is coming along quite splendidly. Cheers from eastern TB

An unexpected surprise this morning. Thanks. :)

Always great to see what's going on the Layout, those hand build switches look good. Bob

Always good to see one of your videos show up. Fun to watch as always. Love that you are hand laying switches and track. I have the Fast track jigs and plan on building switches for my next layout. Thanks for sharing.

My advise to you is to cherish those moments you spend with your dad. My dad passed last year and I really miss him. He just about taught me everything I know. He was quite the artist, electronics technician, carpenter and welder. Cheers from eastern TN

Functionality trumps all else. Love your layout. I have a couple of broken locomotives I plan to use as wrecks on the layout I'm gonna build in the near future. I had to tear down my layout when I lived in Georgia when we moved to Tennessee and haven't rebuilt it yet. Wife wants to move off the mountain where we live and get closer to town. After we move this last time I will build an HO and an O scale layout since I've collected enough Lionel 027 to build an O scale layout. Strictly DC for me, no DCC as I hate the tinny sound of HO DCC. Your dad did a great job on those retaining walls. Cherish those moments you spend with your dad! After much swearing and cussing I just completed a Tichy Train Group flatcar which has an amazing detail on the underside of the flatcar. Even though the brake detail was kinda fiddly, it came out great. I followed the directions to the letter and wish I hadn't. I broke all the stirrups off when I was installing the bronze phosphor grab irons. If you ever build this kit, install the stirrups LAST. I did make my own stirrups out of some desk top staples from the stapler and they came out looking good. I painted every board on the deck a different shade of brown mixing the colors in a communion cup as I went. No two boards are the same color. Looks really good now that I've finished it. Cheers from eastern TN

Wow, dude, you remind me of Toby Keith. I just hate that he passed yesterday. Love your video and your enthusiasm. I gain a lot of knowledge from watching videos that other modelers have made. That's sooooo cool that your dad is helping you on the railroad. I'm now 73 and my dad passed last Jan., 2023. Cherish those moments you share with your dad! I love that tunnel portal. I know this video is 2 years old but I just discovered your channel. Guess I'd better subscribe as your layout looks like a work in progress. Again I say, cherish those moments you share with your dad. Love your humor! That reminds me to try and find my architectural tools I had when I went to Southern Tech and learned architectural drawing. I know I've got protractors, compasses and architectural scales with mechanical pencils somewhere around the house. Love the post hole diggers! And what modeler doesn't have a "Chop It?" and tacky glue? I wish I still had my dad, I miss him sooooo much. Cheers from eastern TN

Thanks for sharing your progress. Always look forward to seeing your videos.

whats the song you use for the kenosha run?

Nice little run around with a train. Always worth popping in for a little bit. :)

How did I miss this last month? Way too much LEGO obviously in the lead up to a showing. Oh well I get to watch 2. Off i go to the next one. :)

Very nice work. Thanks for posting. What’s the issue with doing the scenery first and then the track work? Thats how it works in the real world. I can imagine a HO scale blasting and drilling operation going through the mountain to create the tunnel. Let’s improvise with firecrackers. 😊😊

Nice run. Thanks for sharing, and Happy New Year.

Great update Don, Layout and Scenery looking good....Nice to see a Train running. Bob

Looks like fun 👍🏻

Romley will be recalled noodleville with all the track you plan to add. Your rock work really looks great, enjoyed the rail fanning.

👍🤠👍

cool vid nice layout thanks ,lee

I really love what you guys are doing to both layouts. I wish I could be there to help. Nostalgia is kicking in again. John G

The layout looks great and as always great humor to watch. Glad to see another video, I bought a pack of trees from long shadows he also makes them in N Scale.

Nice to see you all still in action. Thanks!

Good to see you guys again. Thanks for the updates.

Awesome looking layout guys! Keep having fun because it keeps getting better - and never really stops. Cheers ~ Boomer. 😉

Mount Scottmore.

Can you show more of the "Great Scott" volcano erupting?

It’s always a pleasure to see your updates. Bob is the bomb!

Looks like fun👍🏻

Thanks for the Update Don!

Somehow I’ve missed a years worth of videos 🤔…you guys have made a lot of progress…layout is looking great

Don, great as always!!!!! Not seeing you guys for awhile reminds me that I haven't done an update in several months. Maybe I'll get one in for Christmas. Merry Christmas guys! ...Claude BTW, Don we'd love to get you on Trackside Live some time!

what kind of DCC systems are you guys running because I seen Scott using a cell phone operating a train I was just wondering

👍🤠👍

Good to see you guys! Merry Christmas!!

it all takes time.. but it is looking great with the small details. horse at the outhouse is a nice one

was looking for some flexible stone walls and this was very helpful!

Very nice. You always do great camera work.

Very nice layout dad. Thanks for sharing.
