@@duckdogger thanks!!

@@theaussiez5133 oh yea? I’d love to see it!

@@goaliegeorge I actually do

@@johnathanlewis2049 I’m not sure. He had about 5-6 that we worked on while I was there. Follow him on KZbin. Thom Radice. Thanks for watching!

@@chrisgrote6779 thanks. And yes, a GP15 from the early run a few years ago. Lights were upgraded to LEDs and lit the number boards and class lights. The new run shipping later this year, will have them illuminated. Thanks for watching !

@@ShawnCalay ooh.. I should try to find a place for a Dennys. 🤔🤔 Thanks!

@@goaliegeorge I haven't seen that movie in years LOL!

@@gageblymyer you can see more on Thom Radice channel. It’s his layout and you are right, it’s stupendous!!

@@tct855 thank you sir! Appreciate the kind words. It’s not to Sellios level, but I’m having fun!!

@@wigginlocomotiveworks8199 yea. The armour yellow would taint the layout…. 😂😂 Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. I’ll try to make more this month since I’ll be traveling a lot of September and October.

@@PennCentral99 good points. I think I’ll do a combo of narration and subtitles moving forward. Thanks! And was great to see ya in STL.

@@goaliegeorge good to see you at the RPM and Ken’s house! From your bosses point of view, you were busy talking to people!!

@@cbrailroader642 thanks!! I hope to get to do more soon.

@@shadowfaxx5 great to hear. Never know if it’s too much or not enough of my annoying voice overrunning the beautiful sounds of the locos! Haha.

@@stephenminton4789 yea. I do t like the music in the background. That certainly detracts from the subject in my opinion. Sound of the locos and some explanation of what is happening. That works for me. I’d love a much bigger space for the grain elevator. But this section was built in limited space based on a track plan from MR Planning issue. It fit the space. With more space now, I’d have done a little different, but it works for now. When I get the building built out back, then I’ll be good. Thanks!!

@@SoundtraxxDCC 👍👍

@@jasonweir6345 I try to use “scale sound”. Which is if the real loco looked/appeared that small, how much would you hear from that distance..? And so my loco allegedly miles away doesn’t sound like you’re right up on it.. I appreciate the comments on my.. comments. 🤔. I think I’ll do a hybrid of comments and subtitles next time. Thanks for watching!

@@ChrisKinoshita7 great to hear. I’ll do more commentary and a combo of subtitles next time and see if that is as good. Thanks for watching!!

@@randysrockandrollrailroad8207 it’s certainly seems to be the consensus. I’ll do more narration on future vids. Thanks!!

@@JosephMusgrove that’s my tendency too.. but responding to another creator asking for more. So, I tried it. Thanks.

@@1johnmcwilliams your vote is in the tally. I personally prefer none, but will see what we all collectively agree too. I have to op the new section soon. Metal scrap yard and oil facility. Oh, and team track! Needs a video soon. Thanks.

@@rcthunderbolt thanks. Your vote is considered. I personally prefer no narration, so will see where it goes. May do a combo of no talking, but more detailed subtitles. Thanks.

@@JosephMusgrove thanks. If you have the Atlas, mphs is working on a full body replacement.. the Bowser one, get the parts. Contact Charlie and he can get them for ya.

@@goaliegeorge Thanks!

@@flakebelk3338 contact Thom Radice through his KZbin channel.

@@MarkInLA both..? Precision scale has some pockets and there are some other companies that make some drop-in pockets for Kadee boxes. I’ve used some of the San Juan Model Co On2 coupler plastic pockets also, then can either make the links or buy them. If you go to Thoms YT channel, he has posted a lot of our Civil War Modelers Zoom meets where things like that are discussed in further detail.

@@DH.2016 he certainly did a great job on that layout!!

@@patrickfrawley6656 contact Thom on his channel, Thom Radice. Thanks for watching!

@@Basinrails haha. Probably!

@@KandWRailroader thank you!!

@@StreetRailProd great! With household chores and such, can still come in and do something, no matter how little to make progress. Install a decoder, lay a patch of grass, etc. but glad to help get ya motivated. Thanks for watching!

@@goaliegeorge making my priority list , number one is to de clutter since it’s been a few months , then get a game plan .. track is already laid down.. guess wiring would be number two 😂

@@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC glad to hear. I’m having fun doing it! I hope to have an ops video up soon. Thanks.

@@houseofrandomness thanks! Just having fun…. 😎👍

@@warrenholmar1129 thank you! I get an idea in my mind and try to recreate it to the best of my ability. Not sure I’m as successful as I’d like, but I’m enjoying it! Thanks for watching.

@@sernajrlouis thank you very much.

@@jessenoklahoma you can do a lot in 4x6.. scenery helps and can be used as a scene divider. Have fun and try things out as you go. Then if/when you get a bigger space, you have some better ideas on how to do the scenery on that! And if not, then you have experimented with a few different methods and you may decide to go back and “fix” other scenes. Enjoy! Thanks for watching!

@@PennCentral99 thank you sir! See you this weekend..

@@goaliegeorge you bet! when you arriving? maybe dinner thursday night? if not, we'll get together for lunch during the show

@@redhunter68 an all-time classic. Had to represent in the layout! Juts need to build the road-side signage. I’ve delayed because I want to light it up too. (Of course!) so I have to scratch build it and had a few other projects on the workbench I had to get done first. Those are now done. So we shall see what I build next…. Thanks for watching!

@@georgiasunbelt thanks. I’ll have it on display at StLouis RPM if you can make it! That was a fun loco to do.. appreciate the kind words.

@@mysticrailroad thanks. Like I said, do a little bit each day and it’ll manifest itself in significant progress. I use a mix of woodland Scenics and Scenic Express fine turfs, then some coarse thrown in , the static grasses following Martin Wellbergs methods.. Thanks for watching!

@@rfpHOscaleLayout I’m trying to model 1978. It gives me a good mix of early and later diesels to throw in as I desire. That’s the biggest reason. The GP12s all were gone by then, but in my world, one survived! Thanks for watching!

@@goaliegeorge to me modeling 1975-1990 offers a lot of verity in equipment and roads. Personally I model RF&P in 1986 due to the roads that interchanged. I must say you did an amazing on that RS3. I’ve got a couple of Alco units on my layout. Adding Tsunami2 to them and setting up the DDE feature really brings them to life. The only thing missing is the smoke! Keep up the good work.

@@MarkWick Thanks. Next video will be operations. Just need to do some editing and post. Probably next week. Thank you!!

@@nicksanto882 yessir. Almost finished my new Caboose and then it more Ops. I’ll have an ops video next week! Stay tuned, my friend. See ya in St Louie!

@@stephenminton4789 thank you! Trees are a mix of Scenic Express super Trees and the ones by the tower are some dried Autumn Sedum plants covered in fine turf.. Thanks for watching!

@@sparky107107 Thanks! And as I mentioned, just do a small thing and it’ll get done faster than ya think! Some nights I may ballast 1’ and go to bed. But that’s 1’ that’s now done. And that 1’ over a week is 7’ of ballasted track. I hate to admit he was right, but he was. He was able to build a massive basement layout (unfortunately now gone for a move) in a short period of time using that mentality. And with hockey season over till fall, I have lots of time! Hahaha. Thanks for watching!

@@MoPac-Trains thanks. I’ll have it with me at next weeks St Louis RPM meet. Was a fun project!

No. But I like the idea.. will have to get one painted up now.. hahaha! Thanks for watching!
