I'm only a few miles from there but only visited it once! Sadly when I expressed interest in becoming a member I was met with an attitude of don't bother me from a member so I've never been back!
Apparently it wasn't universally popular, but I loved the cathedral. I also loved the Santa Fe "Warbonnet" locomotives. I was lucky enough to ride the Super Chief from Chicago to LA in 1958. It was a great experience that I vividly remember to this day.
Thanks for posting. I was in Florida on a short vacation about 3 or 4 years ago. I made a point to stop by and see the layout during regular club hours, and it was well worth the trip. This was a fantastic setup, and the members who were there when I was were very friendly. They took time to talk to me, answer my questions, and even offered me lunch. If I ever get back down there again, I will certainly make time to see the layout in person once more. Thanks again guys !!!!!
Beautiful layout, best scenery backdrop that I have ever seen, AND the BEST LAYOUT, and I'm an old timer. BUT the blue tape on most of the cars really takes away from all that. You lose most of the realism that you're trying to show.
Guessing they had a visitor and bought his rolling stock along and using the blue tape to identify it and not leave any bits behind, only reason I could think of and is really distracting, magnificent layout otherwise
@@dashaB-sl4pu If this was for a visitor then he had a lot of rolling stock and there are other ways to mark cars... In our club ownership of stock was marked on the bottom with certain paint codes never to be seen while operating...
What is with the blue tape? Makes the layout look toy like. Such a great layout only to be taken down with tape on some of the cars. You need to educate people on how to not need the blue tape... Damn all you see is blue tape at the 2:15 to 2:30 time line - bad...Beautiful layout, beautiful painted backgrounds (in places), looks like great running trains, but Oh My God the blue tape. The only train I like is the coal train - no tape...
David Curtis that is for probably for operating sessions. Cars with the tape being flagged for industrial dropoff. I could be wrong, but I've operated on layouts with numbered or colored thumbtacks on the car roofs. I've also done it with setoff cards listing the car numbers. I prefer that as it avoids the tape or thumbtacks.
David Curtis the empty coal hoppers have tape labels too, just down in the bed. Probably for dropoffs or to distinguish a guest's equipment. However most freight has the tags, no passenger cars do, and the full hoppers don't. Seems like operations protocol, old school to me.
@@STho205 I've seen the colored tacks and they just look "tacky" also. The car cards with car name and number is how our club did the switching. Just more professional...
David Curtis. This is an old club (1982 from the description) and I doubt they knew the potato camera "videographer" was going to publish this as a scenic overview. The printed cards and SLIC lists are a product of PCs and ease of disposable printing in the 90s and 00s. Before PCs that would have taken several hours to compile, handwrite or type, and set up for a two hour session. Eventually younger operators will think the printed cards or lists are so 20th century. Just use your phone. That's why the old masters used much faster visual systems like tacks and sticky cards.
Immediately recognized Puebla Colorado's Union Depot on 'B' st. Also Holmes Hardware Union Ave.&'B' st. Good work! I have many memories of that part of Pueblo.
Nice designed Layout, Theme from Steam era till 1970. It makes sensibel for the wide countryside in Amerka. The Street bridge at 7:33 looks a bit strange to me. Makes only the sense to show vintage Cars. Please help the person on the railway station at 6:43 otherwise the body needs never more a first aid!
10-24-2023: Each car wears a piece of blue tape-likely for organizing. Far MORE irritating is the 15-20 second air horn! WHY? Otherwise, great layout, with wonderful attention to detaiand weathering. Bravo Zulu!
The tape I believe is a visitor who got to run his locomotives on the route and wanted a way to make sure he could keep track of his belongings and when he leaves , knows he has all of his stuff
Nice layout, coal train has issues! No consistancy. Shown with and without caboose, and coal loads are a mixed up mess.- mixed coal grades, partly loaded cars, shifted loads,.... and this is the train you are showing off.
Beautiful, ❤️ Greetings from the UK,Love the Big Boy Steam Engine ,Great layout 🇺🇲❤️🇬🇧
Thank you very much!

Beautiful scenery, but what are these blue papers on the wagons ?

What's with the blue tape on the cars?
Fantastic scenery and backdrops.
What are the walls on the side of the layout called?
Beautiful layout, thanks for taking the time to share!
Nice looking "Big Boy".

Definitely.
Смотрел до конца с удовольствием. Хорошего вечера!

The Blue tape baffles.

@@davidcurtis5398 So why then do you think all the tape is for then, nothing else really comes to mind, mine anyway
@@dashaB-sl4pu Don't know but it looks like crap as many others seem to say.....

Great video buddy
very beautiful

I walked across the Union Ave. bridge many times as a kid. Always stopped to watch the trains
Nice video...great!!
Nice layout, good sound, no idiotic music!
Really enjoyable
what's with the blue tape? Theres gotta be a better way to keep track of cars. Like how about the old fashioned reporting Mark and numbers?
Quite nice that...joking it's fabulous..great work
Belíssima maquete !
Muito bom trabalho !
Aqui do Brasil, curtindo bastante.
Parabéns !!!!
I love the "LEGO Blue color of them tapes"
This post has to be a joke...
Mini-scene at 6:50: Some passengers fall on ass when bench collapses, man in white shirt ROFLHAO (he was the joker who sabotaged the bench) :)
What’s with the blue tape
Nice...

Brilliantly done! Well, except for all the blue tape and that obnoxiously large church...
What's up with all the blue tape? Is it for operations? The tape distracts from a beautiful layout. Thanks for sharing.
Might be for "different owner's rolling stock"....!?!?!??!?
I agree. Found myself watching the tape and not the trains.
The tape I believe is a visitor who got to run his locomotives on the route and wanted a way to make sure he could keep track of his belongings and when he leaves , knows he has all of his stuff
Hey is this dcc and also where does the main power come from

Other than people running their mouths in the background... VERY DISTRACTING... pretty nice video.
Turned off sound so I didn't have them in y ears...
What in the heck is with all that blue painters tape on most of the cars. How UGLY! Completely destroyed the appearance of the layout.
The blue tape is ugly. Otherwise this is a great layout.
Unwatchable video.
Should be ok... :/
Jesus Christ turn off the fucking horn.
Very annoying horns!
Out of focus. Too bad.
