Great video I enjoyed your commentary about line work and taking it slow

Thanos! Peace!

Are you going to add scenes to this one

It’s time for an update, it’s 2025 now and things have changed immensely I don’t think ScaleTrains has the top seat anymore

Keeping the tracks aligned vertically at the curved joint may become a problem in the future. Consider a metal splice plate under the fixed end that allows the movable gate to ride up on when closed to keep both sides of the gap level.

Contacts between the gate and he main benchwork is a good idea. Also, create a dead spot on each side of he opening dependent upon the gate being closed to energize the tracks on both sides off the opening.

You have made a box frame swing gate. To keep the end opposite the hinges from sagging, install either a plywood face or diagonal bracing. Also, you need an interrupted circuit so that when the gate is open, no trains can run off either edge.

Nice build!!

I don't model the modern era; I'm actually modelling back towards the late 70's/early 80's. That said, I remember graffiti from when I was growing up, so I don't understand why people say it's a "new" problem. It dates back to at least the 70's, and that's 50 years ago now! I look at graffiti as another part of weathering. While my railcars may not have nearly as much as "modern" railcars have, I still have a few weathered and tagged pieces, and plan on adding some more as I work through and weather all the freight cars. The tutorial was fantastic, keep up the great work!

You have thousands work of engines! Wow! First time I seen a brother modeling too! I love it! ✊🏾

Would you happen to have a .pdf printable download for the construction of the trestle bridge?

Changming, period. :)

Great channel just subscribed and hopefully pickup some tips for my own layout. Happy New Year and keep safe Andy

Great vid, thanks for the inspiration

Atlas in my opinion, i have an Athearn Genesis f9 which is incredible but my Atlas SD 24 is still my favorite, pulls smooth and has great details unique to the prototype it was based on

Stellar approach to detail! I admire the folks who build rather than use prefab.

Just saw your photo in a Walthers catalog with your entry in the 2024 National Railroad Build Off! Congrats in winning the graffiti category!!! I thought, hey I know that guy. Great job. Thanks for sharing!

Great build. Great video.

Again, an outstanding build. My only comment is that on the “people” entrance where it’s all rotted, the rot is so extensive I would think you would see the exposed framing.

Great build of a structure that’s clearly seen better days! 👌

Man that is impressive.

Howdy! Man, how did I miss these 2 videos when they came out? Pretty awesome! Though if I'm being a little selfish I'd have liked to see the oils and streaking lol. Looked like your 'Padawan' was really enjoying herself. Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠

Can’t believe the Liquid Nails didn’t hold! Love how you finished it all off. It all looks very coherent even though you each have your own style. Thanks for sharing!

Very cool! Just saw the finale on Jason’s channel. Outstanding collab. Thanks for sharing!

Im stoked!!!!!!

Looking forward to it fella!

WHAT HAPPENED! 😮

Yes! Excited to see the new plan.

Hoo boy! Something good is brewing in the layout room! Can't wait to see what you've done...

Good luck with the new layout. I'll be watching for it. Have a great holiday season.

Is it All Hands On Deck. A layout with a upper level?🤔

What’s with the smarty’s in the box😂

I've been wonderin' where you've been! I would have never guessed you've been combating the evils of "Layout Reconfiguration", every modeler's dark nemesis! We're going to have to get you a superhero suit so that you can do battle proper! Lol!

Can't wait see it.........

Hahaha Whoa!!!! Well now things are getting interesting!!!

Can't wait to see what you've been up to

It would be a fair comparison if you had the same model locomotive, but I think you’re getting too detailed without having a fair comparison

Hell yeah!

Bro, that was awesome. I needed that chuckle.

Can't wait to see. Hey stay safe, don't get tookin. Lol

i cant wait to see it

😂😂back in 2025

great vid will good see new layout build thanks for update vid

Merry Christmas from all at Ponders End MR

That was cool!! Look forward to seeing what's going on 🤘🤙😎

Great video that demonstrates practical use. Thank you!

What is the musical score playing at 5:30 in the video? I just have to know, lol

Very cool.

Nice review...scale trains wins for me if detail is #1 .....plus the lighting effects add to the detail ....then the roller bearings...top $ for a reason

Im building a diorama for my gundams and this is exactly the kinda thing i wanna do for the buildings. Gundam roughly scales with some model train stuff, its great
