109: Introducing My New Layout!

[@normanrowe2831]

Hi ya Steve. I was hoping this prolonged absence wasn’t due to some major malfunction of the Regular Guy. And……it wasn’t. That’s good. I like your new philosophy of speed scenicing. You can treat different sections has “ under construction “ as you build them up. Very cool. Okay…..dude. Good seeing ya. Nicely done. Later.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Stormin Normin! Thanks for the comment and concern brother. I've just been a little busy and using the layout for what it's for... decompression from the day's events. Thanks again for hanging out for all these years brother!

[@jeffherdz]

If you still had the horses and coral, you could put them at the park. Love the maintenance facility work. Looks great.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

LOL! Jeff, I was just thinking that. Actually, I may get a whole bunch of cows and some cowboys and put them into one of the scenes until it gets built out.

[@alistairs3934]

I love your channel! I especially like the “regular guy” take on everything, just helps to make everything in the hobby seem easier and more down to earth and has definitely inspired me to get on with stuff on my own layout as opposed to just being too scared of making mistakes

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Awesome! That is why I started this channel. We all have different skill levels. The important thing is to just shove off and enjoy the experience. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

[@robtman9199]

Wow, looking good there Steve. Big difference from the old house layout, the double decker that you put a lot into, but this one level, where you can see it all and not have hidden tracks is awesome. Miss the Saturday show but glad to see your still alive, kicking and railing on. Be safe.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Hey Rob! Frankly, I miss the Saturday show as well. I was just talking to the 1st Lady about it. Maybe we can see it again sometime down the road. Sure appreciate you support though my friend!

[@kraigsickels3918]

I really like what you did Steve 😊 !! I also do so - so landscaping just to cover the area too . I hate looking at foam and wood !! And thank you for this update 😊 , it is well needed.

[@marcusbertop]

Hello Steve, I'm a french railroad modeler and it's every time a real pleasure to see your latest video. Continue to let me dream again. I wait the next review of your railroad. Bye!!

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Salut Marc! Merci beaucoup pour vos encouragements. J'espère que tout est le meilleur en France. Rassurez-vous mon ami !

[@guleri]

Very nice layout, I really like your solution to cover all the areas with temporary grass and dirt, it makes the layout look so much better while you figure out what you want to build and when. It looks complete now, and when you add more buildings it will look like it is a natural expension.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

I can't wait until the protestors show up when the camp ground at Caleeinte Point is sold to some industrialist LOL! Thanks Erik!

[@derekalexander4030]

You see enough plywood at work, who needs to see it all around the trains. Quick and nice and now you don’t have to imagineer the railroad when you just want to watch a train. Nice job Steve.

LOL! You totally nailed it Allen. Thanks brother!

[@n-scaleunionpacificevansto6569]

Howdy, Steve! I really like your approach of doing "temporary scenery" until you can come back and add permanent stuff later on at your leisure. I believe that's a brilliant approach to building a layout, once you've got the benchwork built, the track laid, the wiring hooked up, and the trains running without problems. ...Roy

[@TheNorthwestWind]

UNCLE ROY FOR THE WIN

[@dhgast4198]

Steve, nice to see how you have moved forward over these past few weeks. You have made more progress than me as I am now about 60% of my track plan. We keep pushing forward with new ideas and technics thanks to you leading the way. Cheers.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

In my opinion, pushing forward is the only goal. Somethings a quick some are slow, but the time spent is always worth it in the end. Rail-on my friend!

[@redlinesalvageinc.1178]

Thanks for remembering us Steve, I can't support financially at the moment, but I always learn something form your videos. I really appreciate it!

[@ItsMyRailroad]

I appreciate the sentiment, but your encouragement is enough my friend! Thanks!

[@bobsanders34]

It's really fun to hear your excitement with doing things your way. I'm building GPRR Glacier Park Railroad, for the past 3 years, and pretty much using your philosophy, doing it my way. I have incorporated everything I have accumulated over the past 65 years into the layout. I love watching what you do! Keep it up my friend.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Hi Bob! You gotta do it YOUR way. After all, it's YOUR railroad, right?! Thanks for the comment and for watching my friend!!

[@samuelcorbin3694]

Great Idea getting something down over the base. and then take time to decide exactly what to put in the space. Thanks for sharing.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Hey Samuel! Yeah, I just got tired of waiting until everything was done. This way, I can have a "completed" layout while not ACTUALLY being completed :)

[@ssully8716]

Steve, I’m just starting a new layout and really like your idea of speed scenery. I also like the way you incorporated Switch Jct into the new layout as a historic site. The nearby camp ground is a place for visitors to the historic site to stay and I would like to see you not only keep it as part of the layout but also expand it some. Both the historic site and the camp ground are things we don’t regularly see on a layout. Thanks for sharing your ideas and progress. I have enjoyed your videos and have learned from them and they have provided me with numerous ideas.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Thanks Sully! Since I don't run ops all that often, I think I'm only going to add a couple more industrial areas, or towns. The rest will be a better scenic'd version of what I have now. Thanks for the input and rail-on my friend!

[@greeneyedggirl]

Oh Steve, this is so awesome! Watching your new layout come to life is such a treasure for me! Thank you so much!

[@ItsMyRailroad]

You are so welcome, Samantha! Thanks for the encouragement and for watching!

[@ChristopherSpisak]

Your new background hill is beautifully realistic looking! Like your new layout.

[@davematthews2317]

I like the height of your layout. I had never thought of the change in visual perspective by just raising the layout a foot. Great idea.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Hi Dave! It gets just a little tough when I get to the scenes that are a couple inches about the basic height. However, when I run the trains I totally dig the point of view. Thanks for the comment, the view, and rail-on buddy!

[@peterpocock9062]

You have been busy! Well done Steve, I'm looking forward to seeing your next adventure. Thanks for sharing.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Hi Peter! Thanks for checking in! Stay tuned...

[@peterainsworth8466]

You have made great progress on this new layout. I'm sure you have no regrets tearing down the old one. This one is so much more satisfying.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Hi Peter! You are correct my friend. I really love the way this is turning out. Thanks for watching!

The layout looks so much better with the temporary scenery, Steve. It will be nice to see more of what you are doing in the future. Thanks for sharing, David

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Hi David! Thanks for that. The scenery looks good from a distance (which was the intention), however up close it'll need work where I keep it. Always something to do :)

[@stephenriley9084]

SB, Hello! Glad to see you looking well. Hope the first lady is doing well too! I am mucking about building a big viaduct from time to time and it's taking a long time. There is no schedule. But! I've made an oval, so that I can run, test, maintain trains. After this, I agree with you. I'll basic landscape something I'm going to change. I have the stuff, so we might as well look presentable. Rail on! Keep rolling down the railroad 😀. Regards Stephen.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Hey Stephen! My and the 1st Lady are doing quite well thank you very much. Run hem trains brother!

[@philippine666]

Really good idea grassing the layout. At least you got a train running. Very nice.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Hi Ian! Love watching the train run, not gonna lie ;)

[@jhoodfysh]

Good idea on covering the plywood with a temporary scenery Steve. It makes the layout look much more finished.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Thanks John! It really does, especially with the track painted and ballasted. Now when I run my trains they actually move through a scene rather than benchwork :)

[@Hal-Zuzzu_Model_Railway]

Good idea on covering the ground and not leaving it bare plywood :)

[@ItsMyRailroad]

It makes me feel like it's "finished" here and there :) Thanks!

[@Hal-Zuzzu_Model_Railway]

@@ItsMyRailroad Very true. Makes you hate bare plywood less :)

[@ainsleyperry5192]

Steve, The new layout looks so much more open and it just looks so good. In railway modelling there's nothing knew under the sun. You must have forgotten " Zip Scenery". Lin Westcot ( Editor of the Model Railroader ) showed how to cover large area's of baseboard so area's were no longer bare and gave you time to fill in these area's with extra scenery. You sifted sawdust coloured with poster paints. Make up 3 different shades of green batches. Lay out onto seed tray's to dry in the sun. Glue on the empty area cover with the sawdust mixture's. Shake on sifted soil, let dry then vac. All done long before we could get our hands on all scenery materials we can buy today. I see you've had some hot temps the last week. Keeps up you'll be modelling in the railway room altogether naked. A true modeller. Cheers, Chris Perry.

[@chazzyb8660]

Great work, put in a railroad and life will surely follow it. How the great prairies became the USA! Looking good - so much better than plain plywood bases.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Thanks a ton Chazzy!

[@pgadeb]

So glad to see this shaped layout since it's close to my future basement idea. Looks good and can't wait to see the towns installed in future vids.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Hi Debbie! Glad you enjoyed the video. Appreciate the encouragement too. Good luck on your layout!

[@noonzeeb]

Very nice layout and I agree that adding ground cover makes a world of difference, your not alone with the dust problem my layout gets covered with the stuf , takes a long time to clean up and some dust just adds to the effect. Thanks for the video

[@TheRobertSterling]

Hi Steve great to see you again. Lovin' the layout. Since your last video, I had a rethink of my layout. For the longest time my back has been bothering me, and I wasn't doing much on my layout. After seeing that video it hit me, @ 6' tall, my low layout was killing me...lol. I raised my layout to about the height of yours and wow, what a difference. Now I'm almost on it everyday. Now I'm going to use your speed scenery plan, as I'm not quite committed to where I'm headed, and not a fan of pink foam..lol. Thanks for all the tips and tricks, it sure helped. As always, looking forward to seeing you again. Cheers Robert.

[@ItsMyRailroad]

Hey Robert! Yep, I've had my layouts at varying heights over the years. I have found that this is perfect. For the spots further back, I just stand on a folding chair when I need to work on them. Best MR decision I ever had. Thanks for checking in, and rail-on!

Hi Steve. Its looking fantastic now....... From Dave Farrell in the UK.

[@michaelhill5543]

I really like the idea of getting the ground cover in to hide the wood, it just makes the layout not look so unfinished. Along the edge of your layout if you put like a railing (like on a set of stairs) then you could lean on this and it will work a treat to stop elbows on the scenery. Have seen it on a layout and it works a treat they had even put some foam and leather over the top to make it comfy.

Great work on your new layout. I recently built my permanent Pacific West Coast Railroad layout & now running my trains on it. There is a lot of work I still have to do on it. I will expand it to 6 x 12 in the future & will then set up my staging yard, the diesel locomotive shop that I had scratch built & the steam locomotive area. My layout will be two levels & plan to build an incline which will be a grade of 1.25% so my Santa Fe & Southern Pacific freights, the Daylight excursion train & my 2 Amtrak trains will have an easy uphill climb to the second level as well an an easy descend to the staging yard.
