Ah being young and being able to crawl under the bridge. I’m rethinking my decision at my age. Not an easy task anymore. Next up Chris,s hair styles over the last couple of years lol
Nice! I really like how you have incorporated your life into the layout; the farm, the grain elevator, and naming places after your daughters. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely love your layout! I'm currently building an American Flyer "S" Gauge layout with my grandfather, who started the hobby for me when he gave me his old engine. I'm trying to make our layout look fairly realistic, your layout is a great example of what I'm aiming to achieve. Kudos to you! Great video.
Also RBP, the big rock wall you have stretching underneath your LEGO town, is that painted Styrofoam? If not, what did you use? I have a similar style higher track I'm attempting to make a wall for it to sit on, very similar to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I get lying under the bridge... almost makes you feel like you are under a real train looking up from a river or a canyon. Love the layout and love your enthusiasm!!
Welcome back, Chris!! I really love your videos. When you mentioned that a layout is never finished, that is 100% true. I'm don't even done with my layout either. I'm always changed things on my layout. Can't wait to more of those train videos!!
I love my Atlas Track, but you are right Chris, it is expensive. When I tell people it is about a dollar an inch, their jaws drop! That obviously does not include the Turnouts and other special track. Good to see you back. Great Video, thanks for Sharing!
Yes! RBP trains, it's great to see you. Your layout is good! Enjoy it! Model railroading is different for everyone! I remember my Dad making two extremely strong layout tables from lumber, oddly enough from discarded wood from boxcars on a railroad siding we'd visit. This was the late 60's early 70's. After He did the hard work, I just had to lay the track and run my HO trains. Occasionally He'd sit on the steps leading out of the basement and take in the proceedings of me operating the layout, but He never said a word, just wanted me to enjoy myself. Never said anything about improving, etc... In fact, once my brother suggested some improvement and I was telling my Dad about it and Dad said you don't have to do that, what you have is fine. Miss Dad, a lot! My brother? At the time, a private pilot teaching lessons, now a retired BNSF locomotive engineer! Life is good, so enjoy it. Again, like I said, it's Great to see you! You're partially one of the reasons I've begun submitting my own model train videos to UA-cam! One of my recent posts just got 200+ views. Oh, I realize that's nothing in the Great World of UA-cam videos, but I'm just happy to have shared my model and hobbies with others. Kinda special. Hope you'll be around for a while and keep up the good work!!! Sincerely, Nathan in Chicago 🇺🇲
I recently started a UA-cam channel early of this year. I made my first Lionel video about how to get a heavyweight Pullman passenger car to run from 042 curve to 027 curve tracks. The results of that, was absolutely fantastic.
So glad you’re back! Been in and out of the hobby through my life with N and HO scale. Wanted to always have an O gauge presence and your channel finally pushed me over the edge. Hopefully you keep updating.
Thanks so much for all your videos. I hope to see you at York next spring. I have MS and this summer saw a three month relpae and it was no party. My trains and these videos kept my spirits up. God richly bless you, your family and others that have done the same thing.
I am so sorry to hear about the relapse. It is such a terrible disease. I am glad that these videos were able to help in some way. I hope for nothing but the best for you and I will look for ya at the Spring show as long as I can make it
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I really enjoy your layout, and I especially enjoy your approach to the O scale hobby. We're fortunate to have you as a content uploader and I always look forward to your videos.
It's nice to have another video as always Chris. I recently had purchased an MTH Richmond Frederick & Potomac 4-6-4 Hudson and it runs like a beauty. I highly recommend buying it.
Layout is looking good Chris! Nice to see a new video from you. I like that angle from the bridge too, very interesting perspective! I love how you included walnut planks in. Very creative, and a nice ode to your Gpa! Great video Chris!
Good morning, Chris! It was great to open up UA-cam this morning and to see you in the Train Room and that you had created a video. And a wonderful video at that. Your tour of the layout was sensational, and I loved it. Thank you for sharing it with us! Bill B.
@@RBPTrains Well, you are a busy guy, and it seems so am I, as hard as it may seem to believe. I am retired and I sometimes just don't know where the time goes. Very strange. But with that said, just say when and we can chat. I'd love that! Bill
Great to see you back! Your one of the best ! No right or wrong when it comes to your layout. I run o-gauge, standard gauge and g gauge on my layout and it works for me. Your layout is fantastic. Enjoy and have fun!
The train god's have gifted us RBP REJOICE WELCOME BACK CHRIS LOL U DO REALIZE YOU'RE IN THE TRAIN MAFIA FAMILY U JUST DON'T WALK AWAY WE WILL CHANT YOU'RE NAME
Still Like Your Layout when Model Railroading you are Right no Ones Never Done with Their Layout and It The Truth Why Are The Layouts Done are it’s A Passion And Theraputic Thing Never Rush Perfection.
I miss your old intro I loved listening of to the music and watching the trains pass by which i personally can here now whenever I see a train anywhere now
Great to see you back here with a video. Talking about Front Royal you are talking almost in my backyard sir. Trains are a rich part of the Shenandoah Valley I knew you were close just not that close. Take care and best to you and your entire family.
Great layout overview Chris! Appreciate seeing all the areas identified and explained. And, of course, great to see you are doing well!! Keep up the great work!!
Good Morning Chris. Just enjoyed a hot cup of coffee ☕ and your video tour. Hope you had a great summer. Always goes buy so fast. Layout looks great 👍🏻
Nice video chris . Is good that u decided to make it back. Enjoyed u explaining yur layout although you know u want up grade the fast track .🤔🤔 . Be safe enjoy the little things.
Great video, I love the view from under the bridge, that is really cool. As someone who has followed you almost from the beginning, I remember the early red eyed Chris working on ballast late night, this is a great recap that shows how you have expanded your layout but still stayed true to your fun / nostalgic side, leaving key elements of your layout intact.
I grew up in 60s-70s, we had Lionel trains with a steam engine, I think a 2-6-4, any time I saw MPC Lionel’s I thought them low quality and started going with HO trains. 20 years later after dragging them around with me (mostly in storage) I pulled them out and found the engines did not hold up well. A couple years ago I bought a couple of starter Lionel set with hand controls and was pleasantly supprised. Very excited to see I could run trains on same track with separate speeds and directions. Quality was not as good as from 60s but much better than MPC.
My son is elated to see "Our Friend Chris" back on the big screen. Thanks for making our morning! Now we've gotta run our trains!
Had to make a video after we were texting, lol
@@RBPTrainsI'm so excited that you're making videos again!! Cory Mears
He is alive....Man it is good to see you😃
Ah being young and being able to crawl under the bridge. I’m rethinking my decision at my age. Not an easy task anymore. Next up Chris,s hair styles over the last couple of years lol
Yo I did the same thing when I was younger
my pops uses a 2 rail Kline Hellgate bridge on a hinged piece of wood. you just pick it up, walk inside, and drop in down behind you.
Thanks for the guided, and narrated tour! Beautiful layout! And I especially loved your “contented cows” farm scene. Well done!👍
Nice! I really like how you have incorporated your life into the layout; the farm, the grain elevator, and naming places after your daughters. Thanks for sharing.
Love the overview. I don't think I've ever seen the areas broken down like that before. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
@@RBPTrains When are you doing an another “Running your Model Trains”video? I’m excited for the next one!
You have a fantastic layout. I love how you incorporate so many things about your family. Just a great overview.

That "Hi..." at the start of the video, honestly relatable man. Good to see you again!
Definitely the best o gauge train layout on UA-cam for me
Awesome train room, We share similar taste in layout style, Nice work!
Welcome back, RBP trains.
0:23 it’s awesome you have the 844 in your collection
Love the eclectic touches on your layout. Thanks for showing how fun trains can and should be.
Thanks for sharing, Chris .. always great fun and memories
Glad you are back, like all your video's, keep em coming.
Welcome back my friend, yes you were missed but we all have life. Hope all is good with you.
Welcome back, Chris!! I really love your videos. When you mentioned that a layout is never finished, that is 100% true. I'm don't even done with my layout either. I'm always changed things on my layout. Can't wait to more of those train videos!!
Always another project on the layout. :) Thanks for watching!
Great layout with family inspired buildings plus post war trains😊😊😊
Welcome back.ive missed seeing you. Glad you are still in the hobby ☺️
Great to see you back and the layout looks great!

Hi RBP TRAINS, I am a huge fan of yours. I love watching all of your videos.

Still Like Your Layout when Model Railroading you are Right no Ones Never Done with Their Layout and It The Truth Why Are The Layouts Done are it’s A Passion And Theraputic Thing Never Rush Perfection.
It is relaxing to work on the layout. Lot's of little projects rolled into one big project!
I miss your old intro I loved listening of to the music and watching the trains pass by which i personally can here now whenever I see a train anywhere now
Thanks again for another inspirational and exceptional orientation to all the work you accomplished!
Welcome back Chris!! I was thinking the other day that I hadnt seen a video from you in awhile. Glad to hear you took time for yourself and family.
Great look see Chris, han't watched in quite a while glad I took the time today. God Bless and Happy Rails. GMan
Great to see you back here with a video. Talking about Front Royal you are talking almost in my backyard sir. Trains are a rich part of the Shenandoah Valley I knew you were close just not that close. Take care and best to you and your entire family.
Glad to see you posting again! Always nice to see the layout, especially in such detail.
Good to be back!
Great layout overview Chris! Appreciate seeing all the areas identified and explained. And, of course, great to see you are doing well!! Keep up the great work!!
Good to see you back, missed your regular updates. Even the sun came out here in Scotland when I watched your vid😂
I enjoyed this video and getting to see your layout. Very cool! I just got a Lionel train set for myself.

And all is right with the world. Thanks RBP
Thanks for watching @bernardbob!

Great Layout ! You have given me some great ideas as I start construction of my new O Gauge layout. Love the Lego building section too !.
