I absolutely love that layout plan, as it fits perfectly into my proposed takeover of a 10 by 10 spare bedroom corner. Returning after a long long hiatus to N scale, many questions. What is maximum grade ? Also the length of run appears short to accommodate the raised track over the bridges? Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Being a semi-noob (I had an N scale layout 50 years ago). I found this extremely educational. As I'm getting back into the hobby, I have layout size constraints, and thus train scale limitations. Train scales are between Z and T. I'm shooting for Z but I have a large requirement list. I'm trying to stick to a 36" x 24" size board. I was thinking of a double loop with a marshaling yard and maybe a cargo destination point or two in the middle. After watching your video, I was thinking of putting your core at the bottom of the layout for east/west traffic (right/left), and a loop for the local branch with a couple of business spurs, and a passenger terminal. Are there any software programs for track layouts, so I know the quantity of specific track pieces needed?

The colours of the railway i model include a lot of yellow

Thank you for sharing all the great ideas. I’ve been looking for a Lift bridge for mine because I’m installing my layout in a 20 feet long by 10 foot wide utility shed on the side of my house since I have no basement or attic so this is where my layouts gonna be. Again, thank you for all the ideas.

Oh my goodness! I stumbled upon your KZbins about designing and building a layout based on Kingsbury Street. I’m the guy who wrote the original article in Model Railroader back in 1975. Just delighted to see what you’ve done. I loved what Bill Denton did with it in N scale, but always wanted to do it in HO, like you. In ’75, when I wrote the article, I was a 23-yr-old whippersnapper. Worked in the Montgomery Ward HQ in public relations. Would walk the street on my lunch hour looking at the tracks and came up with the article. Can’t believe it’s 50 years later and the article lives on in your work. Stumbled upon Bill Denton’s layout online years ago and was blown away. Got to meet him and see layout in person. He put me wise to the Erie Railroad’s water-rail transfer facility at the foot of Erie Street, as presented in Vol. 7, No.1, of The Diamond. Not having space for a layout, I’ve done a lot of wishful planning, including a 4’x8’ full-size version of the Erie yard and barge facility. Also expanded my thinking to include a stretch of Kingsbury and the bob-tail swing bridge at the south end. Actually built the swing bridge from Central Valley bridge components. No place to put it, so it lives in a box. Would like to show you the track plans if you’re curious. Thank you for giving new life to Kingsbury Street. You should see the high-rise condos sitting where rails once ran. Best wishes.

So which one is better, I have the hex frog juicer, due to our mail strike , can’t get anything from the UK at the moment, going to use on my #8 crossover x two

Very cool I am going to install a Hex frog juicer for my crossover, locomotives don’t like the dead spots

Cobblestone is a unique and rarely modeled scene. Nicely done!

Fantastic

🤠🚂🗯

Thank you. Very informative. I’ve never seen so much good information explain all types of operations in such a short video.

Where can you purchase this design? I am very new to the hobby and would like to build this as my first. It has everything I would want and ability to operate with 2-3 people in a smaller space is what I am after. A parts list for Kato and some how tos is what I’m looking for Please let me know where to find this so I can get started here

Research to teach trains to not blow horns in town at all hours of the night.

I like the graphic you show of the different turnouts, is that available to download? Thank you.

🤠👋🚂🗯👍

Nice plan. I was wondering how your client built the layout and handled the #4 turnouts without the 60L and 60R pieces.

My personal favorite for steam is WowSound.

Hi Bart. Great design, just wondered about where the track splits below the curved girder bridge - would that need to be wired for a reverse loop? Thanks, Alan

Great explanation of both your design process and switching principles. Thank you. 🙏🏼

Great idea, going to try it... please lower the background music level.

My dad seen it on a way to his work in Fujairah

As an engineer I love this!!

Are the track plans for this layout available via the patreon?

Do you have any suggestions for a 36"x80" tabletop design on a door? I live in an apartment and that's really all the space I have. The plan I laid out is a simple double track oval around the outside, outer for passenger trains and the inner one for freight trains. There is a small two track "yard" off the inner loop for industry. There will be two mountains with tunnels (to give the effect that the trains actually go somewhere) in each rear corner with a lake edge and bridges for trains to cross the lake on the far side. The middle is mostly a small Mayberry-like town with a highway running left to right (crossing tracks) and a vertical road from the yard to the top of the layout and beyond. This creates one paved intersection with other roads being dirt or gravel. My thinking is that this will allow me to run two trains at the same time and do a bit of switching for the industries. I only hand three rules when I began this. 1) It must fit on a door. 2) it must run two trains. 3) It must have a small town made from Walthers and Woodland Scenics kits. It probably looks boring ang to grid like as the track just runs in a loop with no curves or inclines. I've watched videos like yours and I just don't have the room for anything too elaborate. Thanks for the ride around your layout.

Hoping you don't run your trains so fast as near the end of the vid !! Slow down, bro. There's heavy tonnage moving on the rails...

Nice video but... what scale is this and what camera did you use? All you said in a previous comment was that it is cheap and you mentioned it in another video. Well duh, which one? You have posted over 200 if my count is correct.

Do you have any planning for Ho Scale?

Thank you for video 🎉.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Dave

Welcome back ! Always good to hear from you.

Should devise a method of 'tracking the track' so the camera turns the view into the curves.

Nice video 🔥 great to have you back! 🍻

Very nice video new sub thanks for sharing.😊😊👍👍

thankyou for trave rail around your layout to show the detail put together in the build layout

Glad to have you back

👍😃👍😎👍🏁 thanks for sharing. Great show 👍😃👍😎👍🏁

👍😎👍😍👍🏁 great show. Thanks for sharing 👍😎👍😍👍🏁

Great video. I've tried but with jerky poor results ,can i ask which camera you used?

..."HAPPY-BUBBLE" music ,I like

I'm trying to devise a method for super-elevation O-scale on the floor. Incredible track work👍🏽

Your channel is excellent. Thank you!

I got your message about the layout, I clicked on the link and it brought me to the page with the link and I clicked on it and it was just a picture of the layout and nothing else. Did I do something wrong? and there was no way to purchase. Also is there more than just the picture. thank you, George,

Glad to see your Video , hope the project is going well

Cab view fantastic great looking layout

The cab view cameras are fun!!!

Hey, I love your video, it was so satisfying to watch. What is the software you used to design the track layout? For example at 8:35 ? Thank you so much!
