Back in March of this year I began construction on a new HO scale layout. Since the last video I've been collecting supplies to continue building it.
The first thing added was a new electrical system in order to run two trains at the same time. The second addition was a small creek and finally I added some cardboard hills over certain sections of the track.

SMT PLEASE listen! the Tech 2 power packs are already isolated for two train operations. You don't need a switch to go between them. What you need to do is isolate the tracks into two blocks and connect each throttle to each separated track. That's why that Atlas wiring book works well with MRC products. The book shows you how to simplify wiring by using the COMMON RAIL METHOD using block tracks. I'm scared that the 'kid' won't understand when running trains. Hope this helps.

Oh no, the diesel engine fell - I went to drink heart drops.

I wonder if you’re CN Dash 9 picked up the Acela’s curse?

@user-bm2yu7kv4m

Hello Harrison, I'm rick,would you mind building me a layout for me,just kidding, I'm too old for it,but anyway have a good day.

I'm glad to see someone who is younger so into the hobby, keeping it alive and encouraging new Model RR's :) And the fact you are knocking on 100k subs gives me hope that this hobby will be around for years to come.

When I was young, my parents bought me some HO scale trains, and a starter track loop set. Fast forward 30 years, now in my 40s, I was going through some boxes and stumbled across the set. I have been going back and forth in my head, wondering if A) I want to set up just a loop again. B) What is the point of the loop, it'll be boring in 30 minutes. But... watching this video, simple things just like the incline, bridges, inside outside tracks, already is getting me excited. I knew being creative was a major point in model trains...but seeing you with that cardboard to make mountains, I can already visualize it....well, I guess what I am trying to say is thanks. I will take another shot at it. Appreciate the video!

@CloneRanger

Harrison, the best way to seal the ends whey you are pouring epoxy in the rivers is use Tyvek tape. Provides a tight seal and comes off easy....Just stick it to the side of your frame with the sticky side facing the epoxy. It will not stick.........Lucky kid that is getting this layout...🤜🤛

@KaidsTrains

I can’t wait to see the finished project. Great job so far!

@-modelguy189

I flinched when you dropped the locomotive 😭

@davidbozanovs1620

Professional builder here. Good job so far. Keep it up. Tip for sealing the gaps in your foam risers - - if you can still remove your track and roadbed take used (must be used) dryer sheets and plaster (dap makes a good plaster) - - mix your plaster one to one in a large bowl - - dip your dryer sheets and apply (homemade plaster cloth - works just the same - WAY cheaper) - - don't mix more than 1 to 2 cups of plaster - it will set up some what quickly (about 10mins for 2 cups) - - if you can not remove your track use those pins you used to hold the foam down to pin non-plastered dryer sheets to the risers - then mix your plaster 1 plaster to 2 water (however 1/2cup plaster - 1 cup water) - it will be thin enough to paint on with some cheap throw away paint brush - a couple of coats will also give you a shell. Hope this helps

That's really cool. Very educational. Im blessed with craftsman hands i can build a house from foundation to roof but when it comes to my model trains i don't really have the best hand at it. So i love these kinda videos. I have 30 feet of flex track so watching how it's done will help when i get my new apartment and can set up a layout again. On another note today i get my Hershey Plymouth switcher. Seller said it runs loudly in both direction but said with a general cleaning/oiling and working it around a track a while it should come back to life. I may make short showing it off and the 11 rolling stock items i got last week on ebay as well. Yeah fug it's a vintage loco with Hershey livery im gonna go to the store to buy some chocolate bars to haul on flat cars and Hershey kisses to haul in open quad hoppers and goldolas. Loved your show Harrison have a great day.

@DixieSubdivision

Hey, just wanted to say thank you very much for showing how to soldier the track connecters. Im working on a layout and I’ve been have connection problems and i tried everything until i saw this video. I tried what you did and everything is working. Thank you very much again for showing how you do layouts!

@atanisoftware

I'd suggest instead of a slide switch to use some of the Atlas block selectors and splitting the layout into isolated blocks. Then it doesn't matter which cab is controlling a loco on which track since you can connect the track and throttle to the block selector
