It amazes me how 1 person can be very detailed with their layout and yet model railroad clubs with half dozen or so people building it can't come close to the details.
That's because with clubs you end up with the average of what the members bring to the table. Out club layout has a very 1970's-80's look to the scenery and details because that's the era in which the bulk of the members learned their skills. Us younger guys have a keener eye for details, but lack a lot of skills because you can just go out and purchase stuff to fill a need. My own specialty is benchwork, trackwork, and wiring.
@@JamesWillmus This is the type of detail Im talking about. It can be done with cities as or scenery. Its just the level of detail that went into this that is amazing ua-cam.com/video/UPHASpKgRtQ/v-deo.html
Seems like you can tell which clubs focus on operations and which ones focus on details as well. Kinda depends on the focus of the club as well. @@JamesWillmus
Thank you Jimmy for adding my layout to your video. Thank you also for not being a gatekeeper of the hobby. I always enjoy watching your videos. I don't have a favorite coffee, I like it all; the wife prefers Maxwell House.
Having worked with the people who made the Original Star Trek series, and also my being the VFX Supervisor on the web series STAR TREK PHASE II, there was very little kitbashing on TOS. The 11-foot Enterprise filming model was totally scratchbuilt. Only the Botany Bay in SPACE SEED and possibly the K-7 Space Station had any kitbashing, and maybe a few other one-off models. Love your channel!
I'm very jealous of you! My favorite episodes as a kid were TNG Best of Both Worlds part 1 and 2. After seeing how they kitbashed the fleet ships including the infamous highlighter pods on the New Orleans class, I was hooked on models.
@@DIYDigitalRailroad I do know that they used the small AMT model kits of the Enterprise to represent the Constellation in DOOMSDAY MACHINE, and they had one visible out the window of Space Station K7 in THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES.
Great video. I appreciate all of the virtual RR tours as I think they inspire more people of all skill levels, eras, scales, and locales to get out and get creative. Maybe twice a month?
Hey Jimmy. Can you make an updated playlist with ALL of the virtual model railroad show videos? I'd love to binge watch a ton, but when I went to your playlists, nothing was updated since last year it appears.
Thank you for showing my TOMA retirement layout! And how cool, it aired on my actual final day of work🤣. Will be moving the modules to their new home this weekend👍
Sadly, I'll be leasing part of a home for a short while(I hope a short while). I'm thinking of building with the thought of 'modular' mindset. Great video to give me some ideas. I have SO MUCH track in HO and N. (a good problem). Just got into Digital in 2023. Had to drop the hobby for a while. Can't wait to get back 'on board'. LOL.
YEY!!! I jumped in the air that you showed my test-layout projects. I dunno why, but this feels like winning first prize in a contest. So thankyou for showing it!
For those that do not have the space, money, talent, time and desire to build a layout, there is a great game, available early access on steam for your computer, called Railroader. Basically a model of a shortline railroad in Western North Carolina at the changeover from steam to diesel. I have been playing the game for 461 hours and it is fun! Cheap at $29.99!
I drink Jarrah Vienna. My wife and I are building a coffee table. As of this week, we now have two mainlines. We have started putting the second layer in place.
Great presentation Jimmy! But I have to ask: Why didn't you call out the DeLorean being pushed by the locomotive on that first trunk layout? That was epic! 🙂
Hey man I’m thinking about submitting my one section that I have for my current project and it is under construction at the moment, I was curious when my submission eventually makes it into the VMRR show will I get a respondent email about it?

So glad that people are printing my Hogsmeade model ! (6:54)

Nice to see how people are changing what model railroading is doing. Thanks for showing these railroads.

Great work by all the modelers. Thanks, Jimmy for showing a nice mix of completed and WIP layouts.
Awesome layouts!!
another great video Jimmy! Love these VMRR Shows!!

Midnight Blend, from Aldi. Damned good, it rather surprised me. :)
Pretty cool seeing layouts under dimmed lighting.
Sipping on a cup from Travelin' Tom's Coffee Truck. Always a mood lifter at my workplace when it shows up.
I always amazed how u can make these thing. 😍😍

Thank you for sharing my Trunk. It was Labor of love and sorry I sold it. ❤😢
Wonderful layouts today! Can't wait for the next segment!
Folgers breakfast blend ☕️
Just wanted to say I loved the sci-fi railroad and the small layouts that fit in suitcases. Again, you don't need a lot of space to run trains.
Thanks for adding my Harry Potter layout, and thanks for just being cool and advocating our hobby so well.. Cheers! (sips my lady grey tea)

Netherlands taking over !!!!
Nice to see some people from my country (The Netherlands) kind of felt like i was the only one 😅
The Netherlands is actually one of my top 5 nations for viewers!
I noticed in the Sci Fi layout, there was a Martian machine from the original War of the Worlds.
Dunkin K cup!
I saved a beautiful N scale layout from the trash. 2 levels up and over. It got destroyed by a hurricane 😢

I haven't typically responded in the past. It's a lot to keep up with. I would like to figure out a system to do that though.
@@DIYDigitalRailroad Ok thank you!
