I agree with you. Lionel is getting outrageous prices for a Chinese computer that you would think was made in America. You’re paying for bells and whistles, but you don’t get any bells and whistles. The computer chip in that base is about as complicated as a computer chip in a Casio wristwatch that you get for free in a Cheerios cereal box.

Lionel people are like Harley people. They’ll pay any ridiculous price for anything with their logo on it.

Zach, mountain scene is superlative. 10/10. The cluster of building(s) in middle of diner and industrial building is ok, seems a bit awkward, not quite fits in the middle. Perhaps something a tad smaller? Not sure. I do share your feeling of uncertainty with it. Still love the moon light. Light that sucker up for me in next video as a special request. In summary, landscaping skills are now top notch, layout has a very nice flow and homage to Pabst beer is priceless. Concur with your base 3 gripe. Seems they took a shortcut and or were not well informed of how popular the handheld controller is with so many. Not all of us are app centric. Well done. Looking forward to next vid.

Thank you sir!! Glad I’m not alone in the thoughts of the buildings. Maybe once some more stuff is placed in the area, will look better. But yea, very awkward at the moment! Hand held remote for life here!! They can keep that app! 😂

Very nice! Everything is coming along at a good pace, for sure. The new Base 3 seems pretty cool. I'm a conventional guy, but I might get the Cab-3 app, so I can run trains on some of my friends layouts. The new scenery is quite fine. I've probably mentioned before, that I'm not good with scenery. My new layout is close go getting scenery started and Caleb Easter said that he would give me pointers, when the time comes. Either way, your new layout looks like it will be super nice. An excellent video, as always.

Thanks for this update, Zach. Really nice looking mountain forest scene and drive in along that mountain road. The forest with trees and ground cover looks amazing. The ground cover is so natural looking and the variety of pines and fur trees is amazing! It all is coming together and the lower part of mountains range looks to be just as fantastic. The lower part of the new layout will be interesting as you develop your vision, but the flats are definitely a great start. I have no suggestions because I trust your vision and skill.

I like the buildings on the side I think it adds a nice contrast to the more natural scenery you’re talking about adding. I also think it looks nice when the train is moving through scenery it adds more depth but either way this is looking great. Maybe a water feature would be nice like a little stream in the mountain.

Hey Zach you have really improved the layout a lot. I give you 10 out of 10. I am going to overhaul my layout like yours. It’s a lot of work. Tons of money too. I agree about the eye candy. I like lights and flashing red or green. My 022 switches do some lighting. I notice you don’t have signal blocks. Is it that you don’t like them? Anyhow great job.
