Goldsboro!!!??? Wilbers BBQ! and a layout, that could be a great day

[@DuCo_Loco]

Wilbur’s barbecue is definitely some good eating. It’s not the original family running it anymore, but it is there kinfolk using the same recipes.

@@KandWRailroader thank you very much! Your videos have been an inspiration to me. I hope you don’t mind if I copy you a little bit. I watch you each week. Your layout is massive compared to mine, I could not imagine having to build that much stuff, because what I have is almost overwhelming at times. I started out with N scale but after having my N scale stuff when I was a teenager, I found out in my 50s I couldn’t see it anymore LOL. So I switched to HO.

@@DuCo_Loco Copy me?! HA! Where do you think I get my ideas! Stolen! Every single one...LOL. I didn't even like N scale in my 20's, but I did consider it for this layout iteration. I'm just too interested in at least attempting to achieve as much realism as possible to go with anything but HO, even if means sacrificing prototypical train lengths, which would have literally been the only reason to do N scale. Thanks for watching, I'll be doing the same!

@@KandWRailroader I still have my my N scale trains. I was thinking about building a 2 1/2‘ x 5‘ module to go up under my HO layout. I still have a lot of N scale rolling stock and scenery to build a nice layout. The main reason I went with HO was to interact with the HO scale RC trucks in our club.

@@DuCo_Loco HO scale RC? I didn't know that was a thing! Cool! If you have the stuff, you might as well use it.

[@DuCo_Loco]

@@KandWRailroader yes, I have a buddy of mine, He is a freaking genius when it comes to building remote control stuff in HO scale. He has built a crane that can pick up containers, wreckers that can back up to a truck and haul it away, and high rails that will get on the rail and drive down the track. That is why my layout has so much highway on it. I try to balance the RC trucks with the trains. When we have train night over at my house, there’s about four of us running trucks around and he gets pretty interesting.

hi kelly !!! nice pike, for sure !!! i will try your 180 grit roads very soon !!! aren't double track layouts the very best ?? most of my friends said "don't do it.... too complicated", and then when they come over to run trains they just love it !!! several wish they had done the same !!! i might have missed it, but will you add a diesel service facility soon ? please keep the videos coming !!
