Great video. Longer videos are my prefference as I don't have to jump from video to video to get the bigger picture. I am at the same point in my layout as you are, so it's going to be a great journey!

[@TopRailroad]

Thank you that’s good to know

[@GreatMidwesternTrains]

I got a Walthers plastic pellet transfer kit recently, for me it's really hard to read the instructions haha! Nice video as always!

[@TopRailroad]

I agree 100% they are not easy to understand sometimes

I love the longer video style and showing us as much information as possible. I'm excited to see you put scenery up before I start on my n scale layout. Hope you have plenty of tips for us.

[@TopRailroad]

Thank you man! I won’t let you down.. hopefully lol

[@csxgeorgiasub2449]

Switching operations is so realistic 👍

[@fredsmith6758]

You are a smart modeler. That's what I like about you. You take your time building your models.

Hope iill get this collections😢😢 Pin plz😢 again

[@emorymathis5389]

Really like the video. Like the longer format also. Look foward to more to come when you add more scenic details,

[@feintcobra]

Do you know if any company makes a N scale agregate transfer kit

[@TopRailroad]

I tried looking and couldn’t find anything sadly. There are silos and such but not exactly like the kit I built

Building a new modern industry in the HO scale layout. The black cat in the layout. Scooby Doo bited the tail. Scooby Dum barked to you cat. You 😼 with my Scooby.

[@csx-isolawest2011]

Thanks for that. It was really useful. I'm thinking of using the aggregate kit on my layout here in the UK so it helped immensely. Lee

[@JamesBlack-p5l]

Does anyone know of an ho scale layout with RJ Frost and the Grocery Distributors building

[@puppylovera]

You should use the spare parts from that kit to make the rusted old shell of one of those things, might look nice.

[@irrationaltimer4901]

If it's entertaining it's never too long. We can always speed it up on our end.

I appreciate it a ton! And same here probably my favorite brand

[@breydence_8912]

Hi I like your Walthers Rail to Road Building

[@patrickmurphy6775]

I like how you plan ahead for scenery. I hate a layout with a spaghetti bowl pattern leaving no space for scenery. Trains have to go someplace! Nice work and great video!

[@TopRailroad]

Thank you!

[@garryhulshof4383]

Not crazy about building Walthers buildings. Instructions a somewhat vague. But look great when there done. Your layout is looking great,I’ll be waiting for the next episode.

[@TopRailroad]

Those Walthers instructions are a challenge pretty much every time! But thank you!

[@TheNorthwestWind]

Is this point to point? Or will there be a loop to continuously run?

[@TopRailroad]

Eventually it’ll be a full loop. I already have the material for the 3rd of 4 sections

Walthers Cornerstone Kit. I need Cornerstone Kit in N scale for my layout. Walthers. Good job in the layout.

[@TopRailroad]

Thank you!

[@roady1710]

I'm a little confused You're aggregate silos the build everything looks great The underground dump for each flow car but how many cars can you do at a time I would have thought you would have had a through track or a separate runaround through to the pit so the head of your train would come through or you would backup with say 10 cars it looks like your layout does one or maybe two just didn't get that I have a runaround on the end scale I'm building now with a co-op and my silo system I'll run the train through one end out the other which will take 20 cars will be able to dump and then sightings for empties or for to set full cars to be picked up later I don't know you tell me if I'm wrong or that's just how you wanted to have the layout

[@TopRailroad]

I can only do two cars at a time. You are completely right it should be on a much longer track to dump more at a time. I just wanted a small not so busy industry which is why I did it this way. Plus I’m restricted with a small area to work with. Although if I were to go back in time I would move it over a little more to fit maybe 1 more car

[@fredsmith6758]

Believe me I use My Dremel to as well to cut my track.

[@jaobri64]

Very enjoyable and informative Thanks. Sorry if I missed this earlier, why does there seem to be so much space between ties where track sections come together? And why so many solder points for the wiring , is that for electrical continuity?

[@TopRailroad]

I fill in those spaces between tracks in the following video I just uploaded. And yes you get better more consistent flow of electricity by soldering all the tracks together. Thank you for your comment!

[@richardcolemanjr3749]

Just a suggestion, I seen a article about such a project. Those thick carpet cardboard tubes might work for the silo just got to get one with the right diameter. You could wrap . 010 styrene sheeting around it.

[@TopRailroad]

That’s a good idea! You could make a good amount of them for much cheaper that way

[@WheelchairGuyHobbyChannel]

I think 25 to 30 minutes is a good amount of time.

[@TopRailroad]

Thank you so much for the feedback!

[@allanmartinez1190]

Hello I'm learning more about your videos and I hope you continue to making more detailed chapters for me to learn about model railroading. I have a question that I noticed toward the end of the video. While you were backing up your hopper cars to the silos, you paused for a few seconds and you reached for the last hopper car and disconnected it from the rest of the pack manually. Would it have been easier to have a uncouplling track so all you have to do is to push a button to the track in question so it can uncouple the car and it would stay in place? Keep up the great work you're doing on your new project. I'm going back to continue watching more of your videos so I can learn more about the wonderful world of model railroading. Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan

[@TopRailroad]

Thank you for watching! And what I might do sometime is use the magnets and magnet couplers to uncouple easier which is the most simple way but it would still work like the method you stated

[@allanmartinez1190]

Hello I was a afraid that you wouldn't be able to see any of my other comments because of the date the you-tube video was done. So far I've been watching all your past chapters on your earlier layouts that you have worked on leaving some comments or questions about that subject. Do you receive any comments or questions presently from a video that was done one year ago or later? Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan

[@INKDRAILS]

Awesome video! I purchased the same kit for my next layout, it will be for my concrete and asphalt complex. It looks like it is quite the build! Cheers Brian

[@Paul--88]

What kind of glue did you use to glue the track down?

[@MonsterTruckFan2010]

i really hope you keep this layout and add the expansion. maybe even a farm scene with a field and barn on the other side as to co operate with the grain silos!!!

[@AbelG8781]

I've built dozens of these Walthers kits in N scale, so fun! For kits involving silos, I built up the entire silo section and then painted, weathered and detailed them as to avoid uneven pre-painted areas.

[@Highwayman777]

Wow, you are really good at building structures. Much better than me of course, lol. This layout is looking nice, and the operations appear promising. Keep up the work!

[@davidfromtexas9681]

I really enjoy your videos. I too have had construction delays in my layout but I am progressing with my track albeit I'm using Tortoise switch machines so that makes for a lot of delays to "think things over" but suffice it to say I am in the blue foam phase at the moment myself. Good luck and I don't mind the longer videos if its something I am interested in.

[@TopRailroad]

Nice! The switch machines will definitely take time to sort out! Thanks as always!

Great video and tutorial of building your Aggregate Industry! Certainly turned out awesome especially with the pit that I like and the rails around it. Definitely shaping up nicely and I think you'll have a awesome layout in due time! Just got one of my 2'x8' tables done yesterday and finishing the other other 2 the same size 2moro. It'll be a U shaped switching layout as I mentioned recently. I'm definitely ready to get this project going! Thanks again Trey for sharing another great video with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort my friend! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.

[@johnathanlewis2049]

Hi Top Railroad! Great video! The nice thing about all those leftover sprues is you can cut them, paint and weather them then stick them in a gondola car as scrap going to or from a scrapyard. Put the extra parts in a scrap box. Who knows you might find a use for them later in another project. Looking forward to seeing what you do next with the layout!

[@TopRailroad]

Also, is that TheUnluckyTug's TUGS retrospective video I hear in the background at 5:49? Nice. :D

[@TopRailroad]

Thank you very much! And yes! I was hoping someone would notice. You got it down to the exact video too 😂👌

[@jdubs78]

Great video. I’m not going to lie and say that I haven’t watched every one of them in order from the beginning of the series. I personally like the shorter videos as sometimes I don’t have the time to watch a 20-30 minute video. As for railroading or modeling questions, while the internet is a great source of information as is scouting out actual locations, never forget to ask some of your fellow viewers. A lot of us are not only modelers but we also work for the railroad or many industries served by rail. I’ve been a conductor for a major class 1 for almost 25 years and have had model trains since I was a kid.

[@TopRailroad]

Wow thank you! Appreciate the feedback as well. And yes I should ask viewers more cause there’s lots a smart people out there. That’s awesome that you’ve been working for the railroad for that long btw

[@modelrailfan37]

Great work on the layout! The new building looks great, although I personally think I will stay clear of that kit, as it looks like it might be a bit too much for me to put together 😂 Just as a tip for operations, if you put magnets under the track where you often uncouple, then the couplers will automatically open so you don’t have to uncouple the cars manually. Also, I’m fine with ether long or short videos, if they are long, then we get a lot at once to look forward to, which is nice, but if they are short they are good for reviewing techniques for when your working on your own layout, so I don’t have much of a preference for length, it’s up to you as far as I’m aware, and after all, it’s your channel!

Yeah I was a little overwhelmed when opening it so I don’t blame you 😂 I’ll have to look into getting those uncoupling magnets. Thank you for the feedback
