Suggestion: where the creek, at landisburg, goes into the backdrop. You were going to put a house on stilts. Wouldn't it be cool to maybe do a copy of the Babcock gristmill?

This is so inspirational for me! I love the old logging equipment and the way you're designing the layout. I love watching how you're coming up with the plan and how it all comes together to be a fully functional operations focused layout.

Wow - I thought the two painted log cars were real wood - and I am looking at them again on a 27" 5K screen. There is one brief moment when the camera is struggling to focus that maybe I can't see grain BUT at that moment the car is at least twice full size on the screen. Incredible progress.

Great video.. your video encourage to keep working on my On30 layout. its freelanced layout. has no name yet.. love the part of your video with the 3D printed log cars and flat car. Do you think you will ever sell the STL files for both of them ? if you do, I would be interested in purchasing the STLf files from you.

thanks. I am not sure if I will someday sell 3D printed items or not, so until I decide I do not want to sell STL files. I am going to get the layout running first before I make any model decisions
