Very nice layout. I wish I could see it in person.! As far as the overhead led lighting, what I did was use a set of chargeable led overhead. It can really enhance your operating sessions as you can change from daylght to afternoon then evening. The deep blue gives it a moody look, Thanks for the tour!

Very nice layout. You're the guy that made me buy a Walthers MOW flatcar after watching the video. That flatcar is the first I actually made a hole through one end to give it some realism. I even drilled out the weight so the tracks are visible through the hole. Happy New Year from eastern TN

Really beautiful layout. Looks in a state of completion. My only advice would be to maybe use more trees near the backdrop to hide edges of bridges and building flats. It is a well sceniced industrial area. Bravo!

Looks like it is a well designed switching layout in confined space. I must say, after watching 1k plus videos (probably more), I have never heard of anyone 'selling their plan'. Had to do a double take as thought was humor. I understand the labor of love etc but this is a first for me. Good luck with that!

Everything is for sale at the right price. I don’t expect takers. I learned to do it myself when I was quoted $300 by a guy to design my initial plan. Hopefully my video gives enough insight for people to copy it on their own.

@@HartfordWhaler Wow, $300? That sounds like cost for around the room layout! By a pro designer none the less, I hear ya. Looking forward to following the build!
