[@seanmcgillicuddy956]

It is nice to have a lot of friends/club members who help with a layout this size ..

[@johnnycee5179]

Wow, that's impressive. They have created a world of wonder there.

[@bradleyjanes2949]

Nice layout the scale to the naturel surroundings is very pleasant to see. Buildings could be very cool😅thanks for sharing

[@ariamperez6823]

Simply breathtaking

[@gregorybolton]

Talk about elaborate, I'm speechless!!! And the amount of switching is way beyond. That layout must-have been a bear to lay out and make work !!! It's truly incredible!!! Big ass props to you!!! WOW!!!

[@chipford9694]

[@aceadman]

[@fmphotooffice5513]

Когда Сити Скайлайн уже не хватает. Шикарно.

[@gemstaterailroad5730]

That’s amazing!!!

[@peterandolph7628]

Really great!

[@AzlanRich]

Layout very nice BUT very & very boring description plus slow movie. We want to see the trains moving not just show the layout.

[@Biffo1262]

The sniffing was a pain in the butt too. What does it take to blow your nose for heavens sake.

[@erikheddergott5514]

Beautifully “Chaotic”. Or Organic Growth? Anyway very beautiful.

[@alannewman85]

Beautiful!! Strange that there seems to be a lot of single wagons in short sidings around the place??

[@VestedUTuber]

Spotted cars for realistic operations, most likely.

[@briancarson9418]

When building these large layouts or any layout for that matter, how do you know how much power you will need for the whole thing? Love the whole setup!

[@VnTCliffy]

I'm afraid I don't know the specifics, except that they follow the control system manufacturer's guidelines (Zimo) and probably err on the side of having plenty of power available in any given zone of the layout.

[@mentalvacationmusic2220]

That is amazing! My wife would kill me :(

[@franzbrunner499]

very very nice layout -do you plan a video with trains running as well? this place is not open to the public, right?

[@VnTCliffy]

Hi, and yes it sure is! The layout is located in Massachusetts, and they have regular operating sessions with many trains running. You can contact them through amherstrail dot org if you're interested.

[@delo1960]

fantastic

[@Barb5001]

Nice. Ii just have one question...... Do you ever have any electrical issues with rain ?

[@VnTCliffy]

Hi, thanks. It's not my layout, it belongs to the Ames. Stan manages the electrical, and has no problems. The stainless steel track sends power to the locomotives, and doesn't need much cleaning (if any). Each joint has a jumper wire soldered across (using a very hot iron). They've been running this layout for many years with this approach.

[@jws1503]

Awesome

[@ЛЬВИНИ]

Nice video, LIKE.

[@greyfox4577]

Awesome layout but can't imagine the daunting task of having to clean and polish the track for it to have proper electrical conductivity.

[@adrianabad9823]

Which is the scale of the layout? Is it HO? How are try tracks maintain ? You mentioned DCC current aswell…how to keep all the wagons and locomotives away from the rain? Under some tunnels.?

[@VestedUTuber]

It's F (1/20.3) scale. Standard gauge in this scale is 70.64mm. HO would get absolutely destroyed running outdoors on natural terrain like this.

[@jereffuse]

Awesome😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@johnhermanson5249]

Are LENZ controllers used for wired operation?

[@johnharrar5374]

Layout looks great but the video was making me dizzy/motionsick.

[@musicman8942]

would have been nice to see some trains running

[@ericquasney8832]

Thats some train set. Gonna need track gangs

[@olga009]

Mensch da liegt €25000 Gleis und es Fahrt 1zug

[@herberthallum2078]

Intricate layout. Very impressive. Now can you send some trains?
