Really enjoyed the layout... One can tell of a person that put himself into the hobby, and it shows. I have a pair of New York Central F3s that are my favorite pair of locos. The long trailer train was cool.
It's been 15+ years since I was there to see in person. Wonderful to see how the layout evolved and was filled in. So many new buildings and great landscaping. Thanks
This is a nice layout. Thanks for sharing for all to see. I notice you leave room for people to walk around and gives you access to a train off track. Enjoyed your building and the multitude of trees. Nice run of the piggyback trins which I saw back in the 50's and 60's working for REA. You have a great selection of building. Love the Shell gas station. You have a broad selection that I really enjoy. You make this 26-minute worth looking at. The icehouse is fantastic. Was that scratch built? The lift bridge is amazing. I have to crawl under mine, which is getting difficult as I get older. Your car wash reminds me the day you could get a free car wash with a fill-up. when gas was 25 cent a gallon. Your back ground music adds to pleasure in seeing your layout. Not too loud and real music instead of noise. Nice mix of C and O passenger cars. Your refinery looks great. The bridges and signal towers are really a plus. Thank you. great looking Ore cars on a such a long train is convincingly real. JH
Wow your layout is incredible. I really like all the landscaping with the trees and the various Industries like the Morton Salt Co. Thank You for sharing.
I love the layout! My favorite thing is the car wash. Where did you get it? I hope Charlie has many more happy birthdays. He should, if he continues to play with trains and has the good friends he obviously has! Thanks to Bill and daveclarklumber for bringing it to us.
Great to see the New York Central modeled. Nice layout!

Great footage of a spectacular layout. Thank you for sharing.
Spectacular!!
fantastic!!!!
@daveclarklumber - TOTALLY INCREDIBLE!!!! I could never make a layout, let alone one that is even near this detailed if my life depended on it. LOL!
How do you have your crossings hooked up
Very nice layout hope mine turns out as good
How did you make your track ballasting.? It really looks natural . Job well done.
@daveclarklumber - OH MY LORD!!!! This must be HOURS, UPON HOURS, UPON HOURS of FUN!
I working on this style of but not this size
A long,very long railway
I am disagreeing with the layout.
It's if something happens to the new trains you can't get them worked on
Use them for dummy engines and lash ups or nice displays.
