Looks great! Your layout inspired me to get back into railroading. I am now in-between layouts once the shop is complete the 2nd layout can start. Thank you for what you have done..
It is very nice to see a smaller layout for a change instead of the multi-deck acre sized ones so often on the model railroading press. You are doing a lot of good work with the space available and making a lot of interesting scenes. On using the corn meal, watch out for attracting critters of some sort to the layout. They often are attracted to especially anything edible.
nice IC layout! You've done well with the space and setting. Just proves you can have an ops oriented layout in a roundy-round template. One thing you may consider is to subdue the brightness of the grade crossing lights that face the backdrop. Their flash of color on the wall is quite noticable. Cheers, and looking forward to future updates.
I‘m a big friend of the GM&O, the FRISCO, the Illinois Central and of your Layout too. Thumbs up! Thx for sharing it. Sorry about my english. It’s a little bit ‚rusty‘… Regards from Munich/München/Bavaria, the very south end of Germany Chris
I though your layout was a lot bigger than what it is. I was surprised when I seen the thumbnail picture for this video and how small it actually is. Your other videos are done so good that it seems so much bigger. That's really cool how you've filmed to make it appear much larger than it is. The grain elevator siding looks great. Scenery looks great and you've got an awesome layout overall. Stay well. -Wil 👍
Very nice I have not started my layout and space is a problem for me too.thank you for sharing your layout it shows me you can have a great set up even with little space
Hey I like your HO size layout of the ICG layout it really looks nice and good luck to you when you to start adding more to your layout and we can all use some good luck in building or Adding to your layout I know its HO sized but its good
I know, n scale ICG is tough. Atlas recently released some GP35 in orange/white ICG (DCC and sound) that you might be able to find. Athearn released some n scale SD70s in the black “Death Star” scheme a few years ago. A few are out there, be persistent!
Molto interessante piccolo ma molto ricco di particolari che lo rendono molto realistico effetto celo molto bello si potrebbe pensare ad un temporale congratulazioni
Nice layout. This very close to he layout I want to make as I have limited space. Mine will be set in the Sierra foothills in the period between 1958 to the early 60's, though some pieces and engines may not all be perfect period pieces. Hey it's my railroad! The very, very small town will be called "Graysonville" after a dear pet Maine Coon cat of the same basic name. He was just "Grayson". What did you use for the foundation of your hills - they look very good.
Thanks, Brian, I just use wood shims from a home improvement store. They are cheap (less than $5) and you can cut the for whatever length of transition you need.
Very nice railroad in a limited space. IC was my favorite railroad growing up and I later modeled it in the early 80's. Black locomotives with the green diamond. GP-35's IIRC. What are those locomotives on your railroad? GP-20's?
The locomotives used in this operating session are Intermountain GP10s. I have a variety of first and second generation diesels. I have GP9s, 10s, 18s, 38-2s, F3A, SD40-2s, SW7 and a few GM&O GP35s.
You have a keen eye. It is not a Motorman, it is an Iowa Scaled Engineering fast clock. I have had it for several years. IA Scaled stopped producing them (I believe I purchased the last one!). They built the Motorman on the same design platform.
@@ck7813 I have two motorman running an HO and N scale shuttle track behind me. So I spotted it right away. I got a Logic Rails fast clock since it is LocoNet compatible. Although the DT602D also has a fastclock, so...
Nope, I live in Iowa. The layout is technically a freelance layout, it doesn't represent an actual town, per se, but it pretty much could be any small town in Iowa or Illinois back in the 80s.
I like the way you have put this together. It gives the illusion of being a lot bigger than it really is. Excellent use of space!
Lots of great details (such has the 2 cars in the ditch) scenery, tracks are all very nicely done. Great video
Love the details on the old un-maintained tracks! Looking good!
Very impressive, love the details and how it fits in a small corner. Can’t wait to see the next update.
Very satisfying. Cathartic even.
Really neat little layout you got there. Looks like a pleasure to build and operate.

Always enjoyed this simple, small layout!
That is an awesome layout! I really enjoyed it. Thanks very much for sharing!
You made an impressive scene with that little space!
Beautifully detailed layout! I particularly like the forced perspective of the roadway that runs straight into the backdrop. Nice touch!
Fantastic layout well done cheers from Bruce.blenheim south island new Zealand

Really nice update....the variety of scenes and details make your layout seem larger than it is...a lot to learn from this RR

Very nice layout!! Nice looking track work on the grain elevator siding.

Great model railroad!
Nice video like the way you take your time and get it right
Very Well Done looks Awsome.
Nice video with plenty of detail.Well done
Nice job especially on diesel house. I have a similar Walthers diesel shop to build ... but haven't started yet. Great details added to your layout!!
Awesome done, thanks for sharing
THANK YOU SHARING VIEDO THAT GOT DETAIL ON LAYOUT
Im glad your back! Good vid...thanks
Superb😊
Nice job on this layout !!!!
Very nice!!
I like your Corn meal idea.
LOOKING GOOD!!!
Nice job 👍 really like your layout .
Great vid love the attention to detail. Doing my IC layout in N scale and it’s so hard to get DCC locomotives.
I know, n scale ICG is tough. Atlas recently released some GP35 in orange/white ICG (DCC and sound) that you might be able to find. Athearn released some n scale SD70s in the black “Death Star” scheme a few years ago. A few are out there, be persistent!
Any new updates for 2023? I have used your ideas for inspiration.
It's a great layout, it's really nice.
Molto interessante piccolo ma molto ricco di particolari che lo rendono molto realistico effetto celo molto bello si potrebbe pensare ad un temporale congratulazioni
I would love to see an update on your awesome work.
Damn looks amazing! Nice work! I just need to get my layout worked on lol
Nice layout Else wise.
Great Work.
I really like your layout, what is the overall size of it? I grew up along the IC in Centralia Illinois, this brings back some memories!
Nice layout🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂💯💯

Looks 👍
I now this video is a few years old but wondering what material your using for the spilt grain on the tracks?
Plain cornmeal that you eat :) I secured it with thinned Elmer's glue. Looks real!
What are you using your Motorman for? I saw it in your fascia to the right of the weigh station, but you did not talk about it.
You have a keen eye. It is not a Motorman, it is an Iowa Scaled Engineering fast clock. I have had it for several years. IA Scaled stopped producing them (I believe I purchased the last one!). They built the Motorman on the same design platform.

Hello I like your layout I want to build something similar but I am wondering which curved turnout you used for it?
Walthers #8 curved LH turnout.
Hi I'm Jerry how do your scenery on your layout?in your video's you don't explain how you apply the scenery on your layout.
This is very nice model train layout u should make it way bigger
are all your trains dcc sound?
How come you don't uesd a caboose?I I used a caboose on my layout .
Do you live in or near Homewood or Hazel Crest? Or how far down Rte. 1 is this. Looks like Peotone or Watseka.
Nope, I live in Iowa. The layout is technically a freelance layout, it doesn't represent an actual town, per se, but it pretty much could be any small town in Iowa or Illinois back in the 80s.
What are the dimensions of your layout?
Where are you at in Iowa I'm here in Iowa
No Layout is Never done In Any Gauge.
It homicidal layout 😅when growth up and finally turn 50 I want be like u
circus peanut shaped layout
You know this motherfucker looks real nice for a small fun layout
