Wow, such a realistic scene, just everywhere you look! I'm so impressed! Just wow! 10 out of 10! Deserves an award! On the casey!!!!!
This is like a dream layout for me.. wish you had every part documented on a disc that you could watch the construction from start to now!
The still photo before the actual video I thought it was real.
Thanks Joseph! Go back and look through the old videos on the channel. We have videos of the very first train running on the layout and have been documenting it ever since! - Josh
My name is Alexander King, I have a passion for NS I enjoy your videos and you're work. What is the future of the layout, is it a possible chance that you might expand it into another room or something. If not, you have a lot of pride into you layout. I love recording Norfolk Southern leaders on any train. Hope to see you, if you visit Houston TX, we can go find some Norfolk Southern leaders. Enjoy your amazing layout
You stir up jealousy, great layout!
I will vouch for Josh with the hobby store he talked about. I live here in Chicago and the people I know that are in to the hobby like we are all o hear is how great the store is and how awesome the deals are.
Always look forward to your videos. My favorite layout on UA-cam. Take care, God bless. 👍😊
Wow! Great work, I love the railroad!
So excited for another great video as always
You made my day 10X better! Great Job Josh!
Lombard has been getting my money for already a decade!
Beautifull movie. Thanks for shareing video my friend 😄
Ive been following you for a while now, and have always loved your layout for its size, modern modeling and immense detail. Its seriously a dream layout of mine, except were it mine itd be CSX.
I noticed especially in this video all the times you mentioned your dad and his fantastic work. ... I just lost mine from a personal accident on Sunday. Im 30, he was 63. He was my reason for my love of trains and model railroading. He loved your layout through all the videos I shared with him especially the winter scene, and was so supportive of my membership at the Chesapeake bay and western in Yorktown, VA.
My point is, cherish your dad, the relationship you have with him, and the hobbies and memories you share with him. You cant tell him you love him enough. Thankfully I did, and my last words and conversation with him was a happy one.
Anyone can be a father, takes someone special to be a dad.
Take care Josh,
Will
Hey Will,
I am Josh's Dad ... and that was an extremely touching comment. I am so sorry for your loss. Your points are filled with wisdom and your relationship with your dad sounds similar to the relationship Josh and I share. As a Dad, you have the opportunity to be someone's hero. Your Dad seems to have taken that role seriously ... and successfully! I am sure you will miss him. We'll run a train around our layout in his honor and yours. Even though he might be gone he will live in the past, present, and future of your model railroading!
Just another reason why this is such a great hobby!
Our prayers are with you and for him!
Sincerely,
Tom (Josh's Dad)
@@tomclark4654 Amen. My hero and best friend. Much love sir, thank you. 🚂🚃🚃🧡
@@tomclark4654 I am William‘s stepmom, Mike’s wife. Thank you for your kind words, and I know he will love hearing a train go around in his honor. Thank you so much
I always get so happy when I see new content.
The Utah Belt power is awesomely 🤙awesome!
Man every air pipe and lines on those locos are so real and the overhead signals too. Never seen the real tree photographs for background forests. The soot marks going in the tunnels looks so real too!
That's an art all itself knowing how to paint on the used looks on everything.
I think he needs a hobo shoestring figure riding the back of a Cadillac … can’t wait to see you off in alaska man. I always hope to bump into you when I’m hopping up around Knoxville
@@ashevilletrainman6989 I second that!
Shoestring! Thanks for the kind words. I always enjoy your videos and hope youre doing well!
Josh
Very nice Update, Great Job 👍
Thanks for the update ! Looking fantastic :-) and i love the valley scene, the trees look amazing 👌👍
A very impressive layout! Thanks for sharing and cheers from Wisconsin.
nice CSX power and scenery. I love how you have so many kitbashed signals. plan on making a CSX layout even though I'm from Colorado near BNSF track.
Haven't seen your layout in a while. Looks incredible, Josh.Well done!
Fantastic!
You and your pops are talented man
Thanks (Dad)
White Rose Hobbies in West York PA has the preorder option very similar to Lombard's. Check us out. Thanks for the update on your layout it looks incredible.
… not sure if anyone but me would find this helpful, but as a newcomer to the channel, it would be nice if there was a playlist of all the “Layout Update” episodes, oldest to newest. I have kind of rolled my own and it has been very interesting to watch the Layout evolve over the many years you’ve been documenting it. … just a thought; thanks for content I have found to be festinating even despite not being a model railroader, myself.
Not a big deal but jsyk “district” is misspelled on the thumbnail
Josh, I always enjoy the videos as I was a very nitpicky model railroader and I love your layout as everything fits. By that I mean not only are the locomotives and cars are correct, but the scenery and signals are a s well. The important part that you have done a perfect job of is to put the same focus into period correct vehicles. The awesome weathering brings it all together. BTW have you ever met Eric? I know he has very graciously hosted people in the past.
First class layout 👌
This layout is great and so inspiring. I love your signals although I still can’t quite get my head round how US railroad signalling works in comparison to British signalling but still wonderful stuff.
As always great video. Will let you know about Rathole if it becomes option in future.
It would be really cool to see a steam special next!
Binge watching your channel, thanks for great content. Certainly take a look at Lombard Hobbies.
Really enjoyed the overall layout look Josh! Eric Brooman’s Utah Belt inspired a whole generation of modelers and you won’t meet a nicer man.
Can’t wait to see the next video!
Great update Josh, those Utah Belt
locomotives are sweet!!
outstanding work and craftsmanship love new signal the swing out door thank you so much for sharing your layout
Hey Josh I have a question if I sent you my locomotives would you be able to speed match them for me? Only reason I’m asking is because I have no way of doing it and everywhere I’ve asked about it found no help and I know you are really good at what you do so I was just wondering if maybe you could that for me?
Your layout Is very cool and awesome. What signal system do you use for your layout? I do know JMRI is part of it, but what brand of boards do you use?
The new details look good. The other work that's been done looks good too. Does your friend that built the signal bridge have a youtube channel? If so will you put the link in your response.
Thanks. 👍
Amazing video! Although I have a question, how did you make the nose doors on the cab open? Did you have to add hinges or something else?
Your layout is so realistic like mine well mines almost
Very nice speed…awesome scenery….I am going to Asheville Nov 1st or so…would like to see that eastern yard….going to the Billy Graham Cove….”TheCove”. Do you have a direction from Tunnel Rd….and the #40 exit at The Cove?
Wasn't this layout just a plan about a month ago??? Fantastic progress.
How do you find doing coupling and uncoupling on the curved areas of the yard? I may be doing something similar. But I'm worried about couplers not latching and unlatching.
Cheers!
I've always wanted to build a model railroad, but I don't have the space, time, nor money unfortunately.
Hey there! I had a question that you would probably know better than anyone. So I actually moved to Canton this spring and have started my own setup in my basement. I was wondering if you knew the local freight company that the papermill here uses?
Your layout is a work of art. I love that cantilever signal by the engine shop and your CTC computer system. I'm working on DIY project to 3D Print my own signals (cantilever and all) and use Arduinos to control the signals. I always love seeing signals on other layouts. Great video as always!
Awesome - Imprfessive - WOW Great commentsary welll presented 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
Looks great. The friend Kennedy that built the signals does he have a YT channel with some of his projects?
What is your typical curve radius on this layout? Just starting in HO and wasn’t sure where we should be with the curves.
That signal bridge looks great! luv the motive power and thxs for the tip with Lombard Hobbies... didnt realize they do pre-orders... take care DD 😜
Have you seen our new NSC 6400 Gondolas??
Hi Josh! Where did you get the propane tanks you used for your interlockings?
Wow!
Where do you get your little green location signs? Like the Biltmore on the switch box.
could i get more detail on that door bridge and those trip pins you called them; i cant find anywhere and am interested in building something along that line. thanks
Your layout looking awesome josh I like way how it is turn out mind almost done still got do scenery on it then we're done
My last Norfolk southern heritage until 1072
Great update and signals. Very nicely done.
I love you vids
Great update josh. Love the signals. That prime mover is awesome too. I also remember being in awe of the Utah Belt. Great job on those locos. Lombard hobbies is one of my favorite shops. Someday I’ll actually get to their store. Thanks for sharing! 👍😁 David
It be awsome if you and your dad do a video on how you painted those Utah belt locomotives
Beautiful layout in next operation video you should make a train that has a amtrack unit in the freight consists I saw it in real life was wondering if you could do that EX: CSX YN2 leader KCS unit 2 NS UNITS then the P42 amtrack just an idea but I think it would be cool to see in on the layout in a future video
So do you have 3 heritage NS units? The IT Interstate and Southern?
NICE LAYOUT..wonderful steel trestle..Great houses with lawns out front...and I always enjoyed the UTAH BELT RAILROAD...great stuff...awesome...
Quick question where the NS top hats all scraped
Awesome! I know you guys probably use kadee couplers of some sort, but which size/ if im wrong what couplers do you have and where could i get them?
Thanks!
Kadee #5's. Some cars require the Kadees with whisker springs instead of the copper springs that come with the "5's. Most need regular length shafts but occasionally you might need a longer shaft length. We buy in bulk (I think it's a group of 20 with springs and such. It's cheaper over all) I'd get an assortment of you can. That way you will be ready for any refit. They also make scale sized couplers but all your coupler heights have to be exact. You can get a coupler height gage, which actually is a good investment!
Hope that helps!
Tom
What about the abandend railroad crossing in the hill?
Looks great. Thanks for the updates
The thumbnail looks real, I thought it was at first
I think it's time I start a layout.
you sure do super succeed in doing details, and adding the prime mover to a model. just over the top. Realism=110%
As always, Top! Keer up the good work! :)
Nice layout update man can’t wait for more lol
Awesome layout. The details are amazing and make a big difference. I look forward to the next update. Thank you for sharing.
Hello from Scotland, loving these videos, i have started an NS layout in my shed, i am just at the early stages, but i am getting alot of inspiration from what you have uploaded. Keep up the good work
Where do you buy the modern vehicles from?
Very impressive layout and love the weathering on the trains also. Where can I find those nice backdrops?. Are they homemade ?.
Awesome as usual! Thanks and stay Blessed!
Thanks for the ride! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
As usual Highly Appreciated 🤪
Great to see former SP on the move still alive & kickinking the main🤣
Saludos = cheers from 🇦🇷Argentina
One of the best layouts on UA-cam. Excellent work as always. Thanks for the update.
WOW Josh....what a layout...very nice......that is truly a man cave.....you gave me some ideas on weathering....NS rules....
By the way your layout is good. How many times a day you run the trains?
When Josh isn't home I work on the railroad and run maybe once every other week. Tom
@@tomclark4654 oh I was there I would stay up all day and night making cool trains.
Always such a pleasure, not just the quality and content t if the videos, but the sheer size of the layout. As a UK fan, it's not often you see layouts of such a size.
Hope all's going well w/med school!
Awesome video as always Josh. Wish you’d come by the model club in Charleston when you get time. We have been installing signals and upgrading the looks of the layouts. Hope to see y around man!!
Awesome man! If you ever want to make changes to the yard. I would recommend a switching lead. That way you can switch in the yard without using the mainline. IRL having to use the mainline to switch can make for a long day. Because you constantly have to call up the dispatcher to get a signal and they won't give you a signal if they got trains coming. Not that it doesn't happen, it does. At Hayne Yard in Spartanburg, SC. We don't have a switching lead on either side. On the south side it's due to having the west yard as head room. On the north end, We have to use the mainline if we have too many cars. But only a couple locals will have to switch from the north end.
My favorite thing is the Southern caboose. Would look even better behind a train led by Southern engines!
Good grief ! Wonderful stuff 😀
WOW! What incredibly detailed signal bridges! Simply superb!
It was a delight to get another video update on your excellent NS layout to watch while I sipped my morning coffee ☕. And that access door is certainly a great new addition, as well.
As always, thanks for sharing this video with us.
Amazing work guys. How did you get the switches of the crossovers to throw simultaneously? I’ve tried on my layout but can’t seem to get it to work.
Great update Josh! Very awesome that you and your dad tag teams on the layout. I like your signals as well. Are you using using signal decoders or have you gone towards using LCC on your layout? - Jason
Do you work in the railroad industry? What's the best way to learn about operations (signal lights, freight yars, etc)?
Sensacional a sua maquete , parabéns.
One minute in and i am impressed already as, unlike a lot of modellers who populate the countryside, but unlike you, never bother to put train crews on board. I thought i could see a locoman or engineer in the cab of the very first train. Excellent, i am always critical of such elements of realism as i am a British Rail retired train driver.
Wow such an awesome layout. The first thing I noticed was the fallen leaf litter from the year before under the trees. Loved the tunnel portals. The weathering on the locomotives is super. And I really like the open door showing the prime mover. The signal bridges exhibit amazing detail. The whole layout is beautiful a work of modeling art ❕
What is the layout room size?
Hi Josh awesome layout!
Really appreciate your positive attitude and ability to work with your dad and highlight him as well as other people you work with you a great example to our Hobby thank you and hats 🎩🎩 off to the Great Layout 👍🏻👍🏻
lemme ask is there any little model Bigfoot hiding in the forests anywhere
I might just work on that! That sounds fun!
Your layout is SICK!
Very nice layout. Top notch. Great detail. Signal bridge looks real.
I'd like to see more up close locomotives and not jump around much or so fast. Just a steady view of the layout!
A blissful way to spend part of my day. Excellent stuff!
Awesome video as always
