    Your layout is the blueprint for a modern HO scale layout. I was going for 70’s era until I saw your videos. I’m working on a modern northwest Indiana layout, but I have a long way to go to come close to your layout. Nicely done sir.

    All the detail is amazing. I was so blown away by the weathering detail on the rolling stock. Like a real train the locomotives may have differing faded paint. Then several graffiti cars, a couple new paint, and very rusty car really added so much realism.

      I lost 1/3 of the shingles on my roof which lead to some water damage on the 2nd floor (where the train room is). Other than that I had no structural damage.
      The ceiling in the train room is plywood so it did not cave in from getting wet. The laminate floor got some damage but after it dried out it does not look so bad. For some strange reason and luck, the water only dripped in the walkways. No water on the layout at all!!
      I was extremely lucky compared to the vast devastation in the neighborhoods around me.
