Even though your layout is huge compared to my 4x8 I am learning things. Thanks for taking the time to show building progress. I am building a late steamers around two Railking Imperial steam locomotives. A Santa Fe 4-8-4 and 4-6-2 plus Santa Fe heavy weight Madison cars. Your swing bridge is very cool. Thanks for the wiring pointers.

Thanks for the update, Zack. The layout coming along well and looks great. A good plan isn’t executed in a day especially when you have to work. The moon looks good where it’s at-I have no doubt you’ll pull it together when it’s all complete. I really like your storm cloud you did so I know you tie everything in.

Your layout is really taking shape 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Very nice! The mountains are cool and the old Lionel towers fit right in. It will be nice to see the tunnels and second level complete As far as wiring goes, four drops are pretty adequate, as long as the track connections are tight. When I was mocking-up my layout, I got away with two connections on the outer main, which is pretty long on my 24x18 L layout, with little problem. An excellent video, for sure. Keep the updates coming.

it's fun to see it come together , I have been working on my layout for years and it is hard for me to make decisions on what to do next , but that is a big part of the fun of the hobby , i think.

[@arthurlorelle6355]

Zac, looking at the layout from your panning with the camera, it looks like you could put in a nice y turnoff & return back to outer loop on new layout.

Paint the moon up like the death star

[@scottjerris9391]

Looks good. I would put switches on the loops so the trains come switch between the different tracks. Maybe add a siding as well

[@dathanpoole871]

I think it's coming along great. I'm glad you are happy with it. That's what really matters. Can't wait to see the next phase. I'm also impressed with how the cloud is holding up. I know it's been there for quite some time. When you first did it I was concerned with gravity over time and sagging but it still looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Dear Zach, love the way you showed the progress on the new layout section. Are you going to connect these loops to the existing part of your tracks? Even without a track connection, I think this configuration is a pretty good example of the way O-scale can be done even in a tight space. Like those mountains going up, still kind of abstractly supported by the oddly shaped press board form pieces. Clear plan on the access hatch through the window. Looking forward to seeing your next progress! Cheerio

[@tomrogers5516]

Moving right along, Zach. Making your vision come to life must be a very satisfying adventure. I can't wait for the next installation of this project...I'm really looking forward to what you have in store. Thanks for the update.

[@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards]

Nice layout update, Zac. Cool PBR sign! Send some rain our way, we could use it.

[@tonyandreola1]

You're doing a fantastic job with the space, and the window idea to access the tunnel is perfect. I enjoy your content brother.

[@bigmacland]

The layout is coming along nicely. I like the mountains. Scenery really makes a layout pop. Keep up the good work.

[@leewofford3737]

Really looking good I'm really impressed for what you done so far can't wait to see the whole setup when he gets done

[@ronaldjoyce7374]

I like “Twin Peaks”, good job!!! LOL

[@TwistedMacGyversTrains]

Incredible update Zach! Looks great! 👍

[@dantiel4179]

I really like the way you conquered the hinge problems with the lift up bridge nice work 👍😃🚂

[@railchief74]

Nice add with both the beacon tower and Floodlight towers on the mountain tops

[@jeffheins6624]

When I see the two mountains, I think of the old tin type cable cars that run on string to go between them😊 looks great
