thanks for the bangs

Hervorragende Arbeit. Danke für'S Zeigen und Grüße aus Sonneberg, auch wenn ich kein Trump-Fan bin :-)

Excellent as always, Burr! I only wish we lived closer so I could come see this! I bet there were a ton of smiling faces in the room during the making of this video... And yes, I have and am considering a narrow gauge component on my layout. It has even been suggested that I put in dual gauge on a portion of the Deadwood branch. It is fun to think about. Time will tell if anything gets done about that! Your advice on that subject has been noted!!!

Great vidio nice looking layout very detailed, think I'll copy your washout as it is so neat. Thanks for the morning coffee...

I heard your comment about the caterpillar tractor. I’d like to find some that are the right era for my layout which is mid 70 to 80s basically.

Well, I don't eat cereal and don't know anyone that does, so I'm out of luck. LOL Seriously, amazing talent and artistry !

Cereal box cardboard is a great material. I make "silly cars" for and with my grandson. It is really fun to use the printed side "outward" and arrange words from the box as if it were part of your model. I never thought of using it as material for model railroads. Very nice video, lots of great ideas.

Does anyone realize that this is a revival of the 9th Avenue elevated! Circa 1870!! Look up the history! Thank you 😇 😊!

This is an absolutely gorgeous layout! I love the simplicity of dead rail. And that in this scale the ground throws are useable by 1:1 people but are in scale for the model. Just, wonderful!

Absolutely superb! It's so refreshing to see this kind of creativity. The smaller the budget, the better the results.

True creators like these heroes of the hobby really do inspires folks like me not to just go buying stuff. This video got me looking for my brushes, paint and glue :D Fantastic work! Cheers from Sweden

Awesome, beautiful little narrow gauge line, thanks for sharing. 👍✌️😊 Id love to see more of the RC in the locos, how they work. The wagons were well detailed, textures etc too👍 In Blighty we use 3 link/instanters/screwlink couplings, theyre prototypical. They can be fiddly in the smaller scales, but if theyre made of ferromagnetic metals instead of a hook a small magnet on a stick, preferably with a micro torch, will pick up and drop the couplings perfectly. Couplings are a challenge in Blighty on the real railways too, as there are several types, not always compatible with each other, its the same with our models - Im not aware of the perfect coupling. Of course three link couplings cant be auto coupled or have delayed uncoupling, but they're simple, effective and can be home made. I keep trying to simplify my railway, look for the route of least resistance (with age comes challenges but hopefully some wisdom too), adopting the K.I.S.S philosophy wherever I can. I also have a budget to work within too. Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉

Puts me and loads of others to shame it’s just brilliant he must have had great fun and enjoyment building this layout 😊 regards Fred

I'd love to find an overall track plan for this layout. Anyone?

It's an inspirational railroad, and Bob is a gracious host. Best of all, it's a FUN railroad to operate. Link and pin couplers, but not hard to use. Unbelievable building structures. be careful in what you say or do, you just might end up with an industry named after you.

Beautiful!

AAA +++ ! Beautiful work. ! 😊

cute little trains

Thankyou for posting this, and thank you to Bob for all that work. There's a lot of hours there ! And it really looks like pure joy to operate and study. I miss the Gn15 info forum 😢

Love the turntables being CDs! Thanks for putting this video together! Great layout!

Really enjoyed this! Not my style at all, but I can still appreciate it. I saw DaVinci Resolve mentioned in the description. I bought the studio version when it was on sale. Lots to learn but loving it. Take care - Bill.

cool.the signal is where we get the term from highball from.

GREAT ♥♥♥

wow 😳

Very good job,

Very cool

great video and layout !

What an accomplishment! Anybody can go out and buy stuff. He "recycled" trash into a railroad he can well be proud of!

Beautiful layout 👍

As a fellow Gn15 layout owner I am very impressed with modeling and creativity of the layout. You don’t often see a Gn15 layout operated for realistic operations. Congratulations from TravelinginMiniature

Hand laid track that never used a track gauge as the engine derails 😂

It's all something else that's for sure. What a joy to visit in person. Any idea about the origins of the little high pitched steam whistle? Is it part of DCC/Sound or a separate part of the layout? Almost seems like it's just a speaker with a button somewhere and not a sound card in the engine. Edit: Just rewatched and see the whistle comes from the CVP system which I assume has their own decoders?

Outstanding !!!

I am a regular operator on Bob's railroad and want to thank Burr for this great video. Bob deserves recognition for his tremendous talents.

Nicely done,,excellent design and details,,thanks for sharing,,😊

Mrr can be as expensive as you wish to make it.

Fabulous fun!

First time visitor on this fine 2024 NYE. Not sure you are aware but you have your own railroad Sir. Not like most people have a model railroad. You actually have a railroad 😂. Hopefully you still go into your basement and look at everything in bewilderment once in a while :)

EXCELLENT!! I love the concept, scale, and everything else about it! Being a frequent viewer of the Thunder Mesa Studio KZbin channel, I’m well acquainted with the micro layouts that were the foundation of this wonderful layout. The Cheese themed micro was great! I’d like to know more about the wireless control system!

Thanks for showing us this amazing Gn15 layout. Appreciate especially your detailed description verbally and in moving and still pictures. And fully agree with your conclusion: just do it (similarly ) and - have fun !

Wonderful layout! I always wondered about RC being used for trains. No wiring. No shorts or studders over turnouts. No track cleaning just slow and smooth operation. The only problem would be stopping to charge or swap batteries. Maybe a water tower tap that plugs into the stack.

Outstanding!

I was there to operate a few years ago at OS Omaha, and was just as blown away by it all as you were. Just an absolutely incredible railroad, and to think of how different it is from “normal” in both concept and construction make it what it is.

Thanks Burr that layout is very impressive and how its build

I too have modeled Gn15 along with a regular G scale layout. I used my old On30 equipment, track, etc. and bashed some interesting locos and cars. I am surprised more people do not model in this gauge scale. Working at 1/2”=1’ is wonderful. Very cool layout, great modeling.

Pretty darn impressive. Nice work. Thanks for sharing Burr.

That is a nice layout. 🤩 Hmm, have some Gn15 projects started years ago then put away to do HO with a club who'd never heard of Gn15, perhaps they should be dug back out ...

Hi Burr & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Burr & Friends Randy & Hello Burr & Happy New Year's & 2025

WOW, thanks for sharing with all of us! Incredible work and really slick use of inexpensive materials. I’m inspired!
