    I've been a fan of your videos for awhile now, you've definitely taken a big step up in your production quality with this one. Keep up the good work, I would love to see more of these tutorial style videos from you.

      Thank you Justin. I went out on a limb with this one and tried some new stuff. It’s great to hear feedback like this. It definitely takes a lot more time to put these together but I have some other projects on the horizon where I will do my best to take you guys along step by step. Thank you for watching, all the best John

    thats freakin sweet bruh. You should keep your prints on shapeways for others to buy. This is like a how to on how you can build it too. Super cool Sign. I love the trolleys on the layout too. Traction is rare on YT. Cheers Rob

      Thanks Rob! I will definitely have some prints for sale shortly. I need to tweek a few things first. The Overhead section on the layout is beautiful. We have a member who models this and does an amazing job. Hopefully one day when we are all able to be at the club together again I will get some videos of them running. Thanks for watching Bud!

    It is really interesting the way you combined a lot of different elements to make the sign. The finished sign looks great.

    Great job on the sign and the video. It adds a lot to the overall scene. You are a very talented modeler and your experience with design really pays off when you use Sketch up to make custom pieces. I am sure the members at the club really like having you around.- Tom

      Thanks Sean. This is the first time I tried a voice over. It sure does take a lot more time lol. I was very happy with the sign and the members of the club seem to be enjoying it. Thank you for watching. All the best, John

      John2618 It does take a bit more time overall, but can be a cool way to do “more with less.” For it being a test drive for you, it turned out great!

    That sign is kick tail. I remember you showing it off a couple weeks ago on Back on Track. You did amazing work on that. You should consider getting a 3D printer and make more of those and sell them. Great job!

    • @RailserveJohn

    I think I need to build me a movie theater sign. After seeing your Audio sketch I know lighting it would be easy. Thanks for this cause it's gonna get me working on the movie theater. BTW very mice video.

      Thanks Chris. It is pretty intense at first. Great thing about Arduinos is a lot of people share the coding. I learned by playing around with completed codes, changing things and so on. It’s funny how excited you get when you accomplish getting a simple light to flash lol and they are very cheap. Thanks for watching, John
