out of focus

I'd like to see a tunnel for the cars up top with a mirror in the back that's slightly angled away. This way, you don't see yourself and the reflection looks like the road goes somewhere. I really want to do that on my layout.

Great job! That dirt & green mix looks really awesome, totally real!

Lionel’s controllers are always solid they never die I wish their trains had the same quality. I have the base 3 also and I’m happy so far. I still need to hook up the WiFi.

Awesome engines

It's a far different from what you have built now

The monster is getting bigger 😮

Now this is the point of no return from ogauge sickness there's no medicine for this disease isn't great

Gotta love the post war engines in the center tracks

My friend you've come a long way since this first layout congratulations

Does he have KZbin Channel

Matt's got a great layout there!! Is it ever open??? thx

Amazing!!!

Every O layout needs a rotary beacon. I am happy you remembered this requirement lol

What antenna did you use for remote antenna?

Hey Zack I would love to get Lionel base 3 one day 😅😅😅😮😮😮😊😊if I have the money

On my previous layout I built a yard with Lionel Fastrak. Expensive, noisy and too much of a plastic look. I sold it all through 2017 by around 8-10 sales. Buyers seemed to be for their kids small layout or a Christmas time around the tree. I don’t remember any of them buying it for an actual layout just for themselves.

Looks Great!! Thanks for the update!!

Looking good, Zach! You're making great headway.🍻

Sweet update!

I have to do so much on my phone these days, the LAST thing I want to do is operate my trains yet again using that @&%#! phone. I will continue to used a handheld and if Lionel does not support their handheld units because of this Base 3 after I've spent so much on Lionel's stuff, I'll just move over to DCS.

I really like the new layout and the other one. By the mountain, an airplane flying overhead might look really nice with the area of the new layout

Great Video Zack! Loved seeing the update to the layout. I like how your mountain scene is coming together. Are you going to connect the mountain road to the city? If so you could have a the homestead on that second tier as the road goes up. What is that blue car in front of the lift at the gas station? Where did you get it? Thanks for sharing! -Ricky

Looking good Zach. Great job on the video.

Nice layout,,thanks for sharing,,😊

Looking good, i am convinced the city block may be too tall for that area😊also instead of Bigfoot you could do a t Rex or a moose with a giant rack

Thanks for this update, Zach. Really nice looking mountain forest scene and drive in along that mountain road. The forest with trees and ground cover looks amazing. The ground cover is so natural looking and the variety of pines and fur trees is amazing! It all is coming together and the lower part of mountains range looks to be just as fantastic. The lower part of the new layout will be interesting as you develop your vision, but the flats are definitely a great start. I have no suggestions because I trust your vision and skill.

Cheese and crackers If you want the “L”lit up. Hook it up to WiFi. Not AP.

Super awesome Zach

Wow your layout has been coming a long way. Looks really awesome!

Are you putting skirting alongside the bottom of your layouts bench work

It’s looking great thus far. I agree with you about putting a lot of buildings up, at times it does look cluttered. Keep up the great work, Ron

Love all the Mopar’s in the layout! New set up is great! That Caravelle in the window needs some love out there… Looking forward to seeing Strohs out there in the new layout!!!

At the train club last night the conversation was about getting the new Lionel base to connect to wifi. The mountains are great. Those hills would have a lot of downed trees in real world.

The new scenery looks amazing Zach! Great job!

Hey Zach you have really improved the layout a lot. I give you 10 out of 10. I am going to overhaul my layout like yours. It’s a lot of work. Tons of money too. I agree about the eye candy. I like lights and flashing red or green. My 022 switches do some lighting. I notice you don’t have signal blocks. Is it that you don’t like them? Anyhow great job.

I think your mountain scene looks perfect just as it sits it doesn't need anything else 👍👍

👍

Zach, mountain scene is superlative. 10/10. The cluster of building(s) in middle of diner and industrial building is ok, seems a bit awkward, not quite fits in the middle. Perhaps something a tad smaller? Not sure. I do share your feeling of uncertainty with it. Still love the moon light. Light that sucker up for me in next video as a special request. In summary, landscaping skills are now top notch, layout has a very nice flow and homage to Pabst beer is priceless. Concur with your base 3 gripe. Seems they took a shortcut and or were not well informed of how popular the handheld controller is with so many. Not all of us are app centric. Well done. Looking forward to next vid.

Layout’s looking great Zach. Miss the old layout?
