Bob Norwich's On30 Railroad Layout - Gone but not forgotten - Thanks to Dan Carlin

[@josephcosta5161]

Excellent 👌 work, beautiful layout... great details....

[@Lakeside1943]

Sad to hear that the layout is gone. But this is a worthy souvenir ! Wonderful museum quality scenery.

[@pilierofq]

This is unreal the detail excellent!!!

[@ocalicreek]

I noticed how the clean fascia didn't distract from the scenery, and no valance above either. This gave the room an open feeling and made the railroad seem to go on and on. Thanks for the sweeping pan shots. This was a labor of love and craftsmanship. I did have to mute the sound after about 30 seconds, but I watched the whole thing to enjoy such fantastic modeling.

Video caught the wonderful layout but it was great in person! You are a fantastic modeler Bob!!!!

[@joellekarma]

Your layout is absolutely AMAZING! I love all the little details

[@ferrisculhay5179]

Beautiful layout. You can see the individual panels and bricks on each structure.

[@davidramey6716]

Awesome! Love the layout.

Nice intimate views of the town. The background painting blended with the scenery perfectly. Ronn

Very Nice Bob!! Thanks for posting!!

[@jimm5593]

Gorgeous job. The weathering of the locos and cars is fantastic. Congratulations.

Please keep the videos coming you guys are amazing

[@BrianHotelling]

Marvelous railroad. Does a track plan of the railroad exist? I would really like to see a track plan. Thanks for the video. Super Job.

Decir que es hermoso y me quedaría corto. En realidad es perfecto. Es un arte. Prefiero mil veces mirar un paisaje de tren a escala, que ver un Picasso on un Dalí. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱, Sudamérica. Rafael.

Thanks for this layout tour...the work is very inspiring. Other than the annoying music and lack of narrative I enjoyed this very much.

[@naytkeane]

i noticed one of the bachmann 2-8-0 consolidations had a shortened fire box. cool. i wanted to do that as well

[@dtj9923]

Really nice work, layout looks fantastic. I'm trying to decide if I want to go O scale narrow gauge or HO narrow gauge for a layout. This makes me like O scale a lot more. HO is getting increasingly difficult to see.

[@CommanderZarkon]

I was in the same spot. I have like 300 feet of HO track, two HO steam engines (one DCC, one regular), a ton of O scale buildings, people, and accessories, three O scale steam engines, and a DCC system. I do not like the O scale 3 rail, at all, but I do like that O scale allows for more detail. I have decided to convert my HO scale engines to On30 and use my HO track (with some mods), along with the O scale buildings. I will probably build my layout at about 4 or 5 foot elevation for the On30, and even add the narrower mining track using N scale track. This will allow me to use a three rail O scale train at an elevation where the track is not visible-so I can hide the three rails. Also will allow me to still work in my shop without taking up all the space. Looking also at a "dead' rail" conversion for the O scale engines so I can use them on two rail track. Maybe have a regular gauge O track servicing the On30 towns at the same level. Otherwise, the three rail can go up higher, like I mentioned. Of course, there's also G scale, but that takes up a lot of space.

[@hartmutlorentzen9659]

Nice music, but I prefer the sound of locos…

[@xfiles-thetruthisoutthere8038]

GOODBYE N-SCALE, HO SCALE. MOVE ASIDE BECAUSE THIS IS THE WAY TO GO!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

You don't seem to reply to anyone... But this Layout is ART!! The Locos must have Keep-Alives in them to maintain that slow, scale speed. 👍👍

[@charlesdavis7087]

The first thing I noticed was the "perfect" amount of weathering and dust on the train cars... then the buildings including the Trump Tower... ha, ha? Then the shades drawn at different levels. Think I saw a "lady" with a rock in her shoe. Fantastic stuff. The landscape seems American south-west, but the music seemed more Appalachian. Sorry, but some of the trees stuck out like sore thumbs. Keep on... keeping on. And thank you.

[@waynehawkins2157]

GREAT LAYOUT o ne thing I hated on30 were the companies going out of business. Very hard to buy what they don't have. GOOD WORK!!!

The 'Chump' tower idea, was 😆!!! It's what it's GOING to look like, in the future, after he pays lawyers, and fines. Excellent, model railroad!!! But what scale, is O-N' (as listed in description)?? Is it a type, of 'O' scale?

[@pmsteamrailroading]

On30 is O scale narrow gauge. 30” gauge. In O scale HO track is 30” gauge.

[@paulharmans]

Trump WAS and still IS the best President EVER!!! Even we in the Netherlands knows that!! F... Joe Biden.

[@rogerrendzak8055]

@Alaskan Railroad Gotta give up the Brandon bit. First of all, it doesn't make sense, 'cause BRANDONS' doing, a good job!!! Second, it's getting old, bruh. Can't blame anything negative, on him, huh?? And WITHOUT, making lies up. What can the REPUB'S, take ANY credit for, hmmm 🤔???

[@thethirdman225]

Trump started in the Klondike.

[@towcat]

On30 as stated above is a narrow gauge. It's O scale (O), narrow gauge (n), 30 inches (30) It's small enough that it runs on HO gauge track and Bachmann has produced a *lot* of good On30 equipment in the past decade

[@jamesgordon4433]

This is warm and beautiful. The D-rump tells me a lot. Disappointed to see it. Took away from some . Still a great job

Beautiful lay out except for the trump mention. Our lives will be for the worst if he wins. Wake up. You can speak russian, right.

[@mr.meloetta1939]

too be fair, just because it mentions him doesn't mean that mention is positive. for all we know it's something like a fleabag motel in-universe

[@cardboardboxification]

don't want to be politically on a train page, but what are the policies from trump that you don't like ?? and what has russia done to the west ?? in the last 40 years after the USSR dissolved ?? But democrats need their boogieman
