I really like your future plans. may your lights always be green and your rails shiny.
You have an awesome layout Shaun…like DT&I scheme…but, my heart is in the south…happy 2024
What a gorgeous layout! I totally love it! It’s too bad that the DT&I was merged into CN! When I see how truly beautiful a graffiti free freight train is, it makes me wonder what it would take to get the plague of graffiti under control? My suggestion is to make the taggers happy by making them paint the freight cars over again!
I got a high cube from atlas and a lot of cool pre owned stuff like a Milwaukee road passenger set
Fantastic video, Shaun! Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for 2024! -Mike
I'll say it every time...your videos and progress are always inspirational and fun. Keep it up! We look forward to the next chapter!
A beautiful layout. Love the DT&i. Watched them here in Middletown Ohio as a kid early 70s. Those beacons are what always caught my eye
I was wondering if you can do a locomotive showcase. I would love to see all of the locomotives that you have in your collection.
Here you go. Hasn’t changed too much from this other than what I noted in this latest video. ☺️ 2022 Locomotive Roster

@@ModernDTI thank you
@aidenwhite2838 you’re welcome! I will do a new one once I finish all the DCC work I’ve got going ☺️
Good luck Shaun. Looking forward to it I'll be following along 👍🏻
Yeah, I got some HO trains for Christmas. 1 Atlas RS-3 Central of Georgia, 1 brass Hallmark Fairbanks-Morse H12-44 Central of Georgia, 4 freight cars (1 really detailed Kadee freight car) Central of Georgia & 3 MOW maintenance of way freight cars (1 kitchen boxcar, 1 maintenance boxcar & 1 working caboose) which are all True Scale. Day after Christmas I got another Atlas Fairbanks-Morse H15-44 Central of Georgia. Since I used to live in Jonesboro, GA, I model the Central of Georgia Railway Company. Cheers from an ex-Georgian in eastern TN
A complete tour would be appreciated of your RR.
Not too much different from this one, but coming later this year. 2022 Layout Tour

Great video. Wish you good luck in all your plans for 2024 and the future of the DT&I empire you have made.
👍🤠👍 Looking forward to seeing your progress through 2024
Great work Shaun.
Nice Agenda Of What You are Doing Cool!👍.
Excellent update & exciting plans & thanks for the update
awesome video thx for sharing..😊😊👍👍
Very nice layout. It's an inspiration!
The real Ohio Central 4027 is actually still operating in it's original maroon on the Ohio Central today (only notable modification is that rear ditch lights have been added at some point before summer 2022), while it's sister SD40T-2s 4025 and 4026 have been repainted into the G&W Borg Orange for the Chicago, Fort Wayne & Eastern and the New England Central, respectively.
Also, the real Ohio Central transfer caboose seen at 14:12 is sadly rotting away today semi-abandoned at the Byesville Scenic Railroad in Byesville, OH. On a real close inspection now, you can actually see traces of Penn Central green showing up under the heavily chipping and fading maroon. I assume nobody that can afford to can be bothered to replace the friction-bearing trucks that are still on it, something the old Ohio Central wouldn't have cared about but the G&W definitely isn't interested in. A modeling opportunity though, if just a small one, I would assume the DT&I would replace the trucks with modern roller bearing ones if you're using it in serious service though.
@OhioCentralModeler it might be a long shot, but I hope to see Byesville run again.
@@ModernDTI Same here, but I'm not holding my breath. Zemba Bros. owns the track between Byesville south to Derwent now, and from the guys I know that were involved in the Scenic Railroad, they're apparently staunchly opposed to the scenic train, in part due to liability concerns I think.
Awesome layout
Great looking layout! I really like the DT&I. I'm a huge GTW fan. I'm starting to build my new layout and can not wait to get started.
Good video sir
My favorite: the former CN unit relettered for DTI.
Awesome layout! Just come across your channel and you’ve picked up a subscriber here!
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who gets annoyed with the sound model trains make.
Love the layout and I continue to enjoy following all the new things you add and do. I wanted to ask what do you use to make your roads. I am looking to get more ideas cause I have been using the spackle compound for years but I am now trying to use styrene on my city but not sure . Any insight would be great
I use balsa or hobby plywood. Hobby plywood is much less prone to warping, but I live in a dry climate so it works well for me. I patch the gaps with spackle. I’ve also overlayed the whole thing with paper on some spots which makes a nice texture without wood grain. Hope this helps ☺️
As a heads up, i never look for undecs. I soak painted parts in isopropyl, doesnt affect the shell at all, and becomes an undec after light brushing with a soft toothbrush to remove stubborn bits from places like radiators.
My painter would prefer not to strip them as the higher detailed models are difficult to disassemble to paint properly. I will reserve the stripping for only the most sought after models (ST GP30 road slug!)
I try go get undecs when I can but will strip stuff when I have to. Some brands are harder to strip than others, and it's nice to save the effort when reasonably possible.
Seeing the expansion of the roster had me asking…
Didn't the MDTI stop using tunnel motors? How many SD60M's will be orange and how many in their old UP colors? Is 708 coming back with its former subsidiary colors? There's quite some I can't list them all at once
Frankly, I wish I could've been able to come to the layout whenever I came to LV in September.
We didn’t stop using them, I just sold the models. They were problematic at best. Nice to see that has resolved. All 60Ms will be orange, painted at the Washington, IN shops before being placed in service. There will be no additional locos added in CN colors…the timeframe of the layout is way past that now. Only 603 and 300 will ultimately be left.
@@ModernDTI Ah, I see then. And then how many SD40-2's will be left in their original GTW paint?
@redsmokefzw3954 well they went to OC before the DTI purchase so no GT left, but still a couple roaming in OC paint.
@@ModernDTI Now I see
9:23 so when ya got around to moving this set, did it string-line?
No…you actually have to put 50+ cars to get a string line to happen. The layout runs well!
Great video.
Who is the artist or song that starts at 12:23? Thanks
It’s called Montauk Breeze and is part of the iMovie library songs from Apple.

Thank you, Shaun
