I love your N Gauge content

Glad to see it’s okay to use Caboose Industries ground throws.

The weathering on the engine house was really cool. I always wondered how to make that effect. I never stop learning in the greatest hobby . Thanks Ken.

THANK YOU VIDEO AS GREAT JOY HOBBY FOR YEARS

I just love how you build the sectional layout step by step! You just can't go wrong! I always look forward to Bachmanns new products coming out! The cover photo on the Bachmann catalog looks great Ken! "I Love The BNSF Runby's! Very Nice! "This Is The Best Hobby In The World" Till Next Time!

Really wish you guys could be sponsored by Broadway, Rapido and Scale trains. Also hope you guys get back to doing layout tours which are a major inspiration point.

Wonderful video

[@randydobson1863]

hello ken its is randy and i like yours video is cool super thanks ken friends randy

[@DavidGallowayTrains]

Vallejo brand Liquid Mask is a good alternative to using the cement for achieving the weathered paint look.

Not going to lie... got a bit of the heebie jeebies watching him use that router along the thin edge of that long layout that he was holding with his hand, that went below the level of the router. I mean at the very least use a smaller trim router, or better yet carve that groove out as the first step before decoration using a router table or circular saw.

[@grumpy1814]

@ 5:00 - wonderful video on how not to properly use a router.

[@kevinkarajz-pv3wb]

Ken, I wonder, since your foam diorama panels are already sized for the project at the start - why not clamp them edge-up to rout the groove & glue those wooden splines in BEFORE starting any trackwork, scenery, surface decoration, etc?? Just curious ...

[@modelrailwaynoob]

Great model well built. Some good tips Ken. The dirty ashtray is best left out of the video.

[@MRhobbyist]

This video was shot a while back and Ken has since quit smoking all together. Hooray for Ken!

[@modelrailwaynoob]

@Model Railroad Hobbyist magazine Yes good job Ken and relief from everyone else

[@timhamilton5699]

Is there a specific reason that you cut the 1x strips into 6" ish sections and not left the strip the full length of the foam? Does it have to do with adhesion or expansion/contraction of materials?

[@daleshipman7139]

Excellent job on the video!

[@shaungreen7879]

Hello Ken I love your videos and content. Im needing your expertise. Im wanting to start an N scale layout. Im not like you who can cut track and all that. I need to choose an track starter set pack. What set would you choose from kato or bachmann . Im on budget so cant do marklin and all that expensive brands. I need to choose an brand and stay with that one. Looking to hear from you Shaun Cape town South Africa

[@fredphillips5629]

Nice build! Any thoughts on how you would add legs to the module, if you did not want use it as a shelf? Thank you

[@jackoesterlejr.3454]

Great Question! There Is A Lot Of Heights!

[@geraldratte9254]

Bachmann, no CN or CP cleaning cars . Dont seem to appreciate Canadien buyers

[@keving126]

You don't so much N scale stuff, but guaranteed I watch less because, I tend to overlook Bachmann as well. I was trying to be nice but what else more can I say.. Seen you at trainfest in Milwaukee. Didn't want to take the time to bother you though!
