WOW,the waterfall scene is awesome! Truly amazing.I had heard Roy and his wife had passed away and was very sorry to hear it.He seemed like a great fella.
I appreciate the comment and compliments. I really wanted a nice waterfall feature. I am thrilled with the results. I am glad you N-joyed it. Thanks for the condolences too, Roy was 1 in a million. He was very special. Stay safe out there.
Thanks for the feedback and I really strive to make it the best that I can to my abilities. I appreciate the comment and compliment, stay safe out there.
down right awesome tribute to roy gary we shall all miss him some of us more than others but he was such an inspiration to all of us and yes it was because of roy and his channel we all were able to meet and become life long friends. i will miss him dearly for sure and i will treasure the friend ship i had with him. great tribute great.
Thanks, buddy. I am glad I took Roy up on that meeting in Altoona 2 years ago. Through it, I made several friends, including you, buddy. I am looking forward to being up there soon. You guys are great hosts. Thanks for the comment and compliments, stay safe out there.
I was working on building for next project of the layout when I read about his passing. He will be sorely missed by people all over the World. I was honored and feel lucky to be one of them that got to meet and spend time with him. He was truly a great man and hobbyist. Thanks for the comment and stay safe out there.
UA-cam suggested I watch Roy’s Videos. Roy in 2023, was an inspiration to me to get back into the Hobby after over a 30 year hiatus. So sorry about his passing! I live about 3 miles from the Blair County Convention Center and had the hope to meet him at the N Scale Weekend this September 2024.
Roy was amazing at being able to draw people into the hobby, wether new or just away for a while. I am glad that you are back in the hobby. I know he would've loved to be be there if he could. I am glad to see that you will be there though. If you see me, feel free to come say hi. It would be nice to meet you. Thanks for the comment and stay safe out there.
Thanks for the comment and compliment. Roy was such a talent in our community and we will miss him greatly. He was such an inspiration to a lot of us. He treated everyone with such respect. I am thrilled that I got to meet him and spend time with him. RIP Roy.
Thank you for the comment and compliment. I wanted to try and make it as realistic as possible. I can't wait for the sound to be installed. Stay safe out there.
Thanks for the comment and compliment. I was heartbroken when I read about his passing, but was happy to know he wasn't suffering anymore. He was such a great inspiration to us all. Stay safe out there.
I was wondering what happened to Roy's channel since there hadn't been any new content in a while. Very sorry to hear about his passing; thanks for bringing this information to the model railroad community - he'll be missed. On a happier note, the waterfall looks fantastic.
Thanks for the comment and compliment. Roy was an awesome guy and friend in the Hobby. He inspired a lot of people and was always willing to promote our progress in the Hobby. He will truly be missed by us all. Stay safe out there.
DJ's Trains would love that waterfall. You've prevented anyone walking into the train room from seeing a flat layout because they have to walk past and into the room to see what's behind. Great job Gary!
Thanks for the comment and compliments. I tried to make it an imersive experience when you walk in with scenery and height. I really wanted to have the mountains and scenery be the stars and dominating the trains. Stay safe out there.
@@biggsrr6708 I think you got the mountain to make the locos look small pretty well. As we both know, even though it's N scale, you still need a good height of a mountain.
This is true. If you want the scenery to dominate the train ratio, height is the key. I like the scenery to track ratio in N scale more. Than most other scales. HO is great, but takes a lot of space to make it look right, unless you do a switching layout.
Hi Gary, nice layout update! I was saddened to hear about the passing of Roy Smith! Loved his layout videos! I am looking forward to N Scale Convention weekend. I will be there Sunday to try and grab some new Atlas Erie Lackawanna SD45's! Can't wait 2 weeks and counting. Take care...
I was working on a building when I read the news of his passing. It will be in a future Layout update and will be completed in Roy's memory. I can't wait to finish the building and show it to everyone. I should be there Sunday as well if you would like to come say hi. I am very excited for this year's event. I hope to see you there in person and stay safe out there. Thanks for the comment and compliment.
That sucks and I was wondering what happened to Roy! My condolences to him, his wife and family! He was a master with the hobby and I enjoyed all of his videos! He will be missed, but hopefully his channel stays on.
He was absolutely adored by the model railroad community. Those lucky enough to catch up with him, knew that it was genuine. I was glad I got to see him and strike up a friendship with him that led to so many others in the hobby. Thanks for the comment and stay safe out there.
Roy, the waterfall is incredible, as are those bridges, but I think that the lagoon where the waterfall is born is not very large for the amount of water that falls through it. The rest is great. Greetings from Chile.
I really appreciate the comments, compliments, and constructive criticism. On the upper lagoon, my thought is that it is sprung feed. As many mountain lakes or ponds are small in stature, the only way for it to support that amount of water is being sprung feed. I am thrilled to have someone in Chile watching, greeting to you as well. Stay safe out there.
I know I will be there Saturday for sure. Sunday I may for a small amount of time. I may try to visit more train stuff around Altoona for videos. I will also be at Todd Treaster's house on Friday helping run his layout for the open house he is hosting.
Man Gary you 💯 nailed that scene. Love the waterfall. Just spectacular buddy. And thanks for all the great run by trains. I was fortunate enough to meet Toy and Lenore 2 times at Steamtown for sparkys meet n greets he held there. Such a loss to this community. Prayers to their families.
I really appreciate the compliment and comments. I strive to make sure the scenery is as good as my skull level allows. I was thrilled with the way this turned out and stay safe out there. I was so excited when I knew I was getting the chance to see Roy in person. He was such a great help in building my channel subscription when I first started up the channel. He truly will be missed around the world. He has such a great legacy. RIP in Peace Roy!
Thanks for the comment and compliment. I am thrilled with the way it came out. I put a lot of work into the scene. I'm glad you N-joyed it and stay safe out there.
Thanks for the comment and compliments. I strive to make the scenery as realistic as possible. I really appreciate the compliment. I am glad you N-joyed and stay safe out there.
I wanted to make sure to pay my tribute to him. He was such an inspiration in the hobby. He showed us all how to treat everyone. He was a blast to talk with and so kind. I know he is enjoying watching all our projects and the trains running. Thanks for the comment and stay safe out there.
Just came across your channel. Very nice layout. That waterfall looks amazing - really impressive work! Subscribed of course. I recently started to work on a tiny N scale switching layout - my first U.S themed project. Take a look if you want. Keep up your gret work!
That is awesome for a new layout. Thanks for the subscription, I will go hit your channel up as well. Thanks for the comment and compliment, stay safe out there.
dude the video of the water fall is great man really shows off what you did there. of course the whole layout is awesome and i love it. see ya in 2 weeks man
Thanks for the comment and compliment. I can't wait to get back up there and see all of you fine people. I am glad you N-joyed and stay safe out there.
I feel like he is watching over all of our progress in the hobby and enjoying all the rail fanning he could ever want. Thanks for the comment and stay safe out there.
He was a great man who loved trains. He was always kind when I spoke with him and was always willing to help. He will truly be missed around the World. I am so thankful that I got the chance to know him. Thanks for the comment and stay safe out there.
I am sorry for the ads, but You Tube puts them there, not me. I am monetized, as a way to bring in revenue to bring more layout visits to the channel. The money I make goes to pay for some expenses towards the travel. I am sorry, but all videos have ads built in, whether a channel is monetized or not. I hope to see you back. Stay safe out there.

An amazing layout. Lots of neat ideas gained. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Thanks for the comment and compliment. I strive to have a very scenic railroad and I am glad you N-joyed. Stay safe out there.
A superb layout! I love the Luke waterfall. I'm planning on creating something similar myself. A very nice tribute to Roy as well. Great work!
I really appreciate the comments and compliments. I can't wait to see your take on the Luke waterfall. Stay safe out there.
Wow, awesome scene, great modeling. Thank you.

The waterfall is incredible 🤩 The view of the tall bridges is fantastic 👏

Great looking layout, falls. Saddened by loss of a model railroader "brother" that I never met in person but got to "love" through his videos.
Thanks for the comment and compliment. I was heartbroken when I read about his passing, but was happy to know he wasn't suffering anymore. He was such a great inspiration to us all. Stay safe out there.

I have asked some questions on his layout building , and he always answered
@@ptitrainrouge he was always engaged with his audience.
First!
Proud you got the first one Tinker. I hope all is well with you. Will I be seeing you in 2 weeks? Glad to hear from you and stay safe out there.
tired of all the ads, had to watch 2 of them to get to the start of this video. 5 seconds might be ok, but not 20. so unsubscribing.
I am sorry for the ads, but You Tube puts them there, not me. I am monetized, as a way to bring in revenue to bring more layout visits to the channel.
