Another big step, and love the little comedy bits, too! I am impressed with how the loco running never disturbed your work... quick adjustment and let it through.

13:30: “Let’s deal with that after the next pay day shall we?” If there’s any statement on this planet I can relate to better, it’s that one!

[@keithdenner9441]

Looking good!

[@solargarage]

Looks and sounds great.

[@Chad-z9y]

What a amazing job Dave... The videos are so relaxing watching u make your layout and the outcome isn't finished yet... Ty for posting 👍👍

[@ScottRails]

Thank you so much. It will look so much better with some trees, buildings and tiny people going about their business.

[@TwoRailfans]

You're making a lot of progress! Looks great.

[@colinframe7095]

Yea! Dave has running trains again, our long national nightmare is over!😁🚅🚂 😁

[@ScottRails]

Those were dark times, but we are through the other side now.

Nice job, Dave. I'm getting my layout construction fix. Good teacher. 🙂😉

It must feel real good to see trains running again. Looks good Great job done so far. Cheers. 👍

Grand job on the second loop. Glad to see the loco's were keeping an eye on you 😉😁👍

Good job Dave. Looks excellent. 👌

Awesome 👏 🎉

[@aussiefrenchman-hobbytable9960]

Hi Dave, just AWESOME mate, , you've talked me into doing double track , way more enjoyment, looking forward to the live stream 😎😎😎😎😎😎have a good one mate

[@ScottRails]

Thanks Aussie. I'm really happy I decided to start over before I spent too much time and money on scenery. Can't wait to get started on all the mini world things I had planned, like roads, buildings lighting etc.

[@aussiefrenchman-hobbytable9960]

@@ScottRails mate im waiting for my free timber from my sons work , 3 weeks now , just should have gone to Bunnings ( hardware store ) and bought it myself, but my son is addiment on the subject of getting me the timber, like he said , more money to spend on choo choo trains , lol so want to drink coffee and watch trains 😄😄😄😄

[@hessxpress3016]

well deserved start over. worth it running wider curves and longer trains. really get to stretch their legs now!

[@ScottRails]

Thank you. Yes, I think for the space I have, 6 full length passenger coaches looks pretty good.

[@WWIIREBEL]

Great job Dave!. I'm getting bit by the hobby bug more and more every day. I just need to knock down a wall or two to make space,lol.

[@harleymemphis9190]

Great Video thanks * Happy Rails *

[@theangelsmodellingandrailways]

Nice one Dave, two track running, those trains look great running round those big curves. Superb progress dude.

[@ScottRails]

Thanks Brian. I'll be running those BR Locos you gave me at the weekend.

[@w.rustylane5650]

Great job on the 2nd rail. You'll be up into the wee hours running trains. Congratulations on the maiden voyage of the 2nd rail. Cheers from eastern TN

[@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125]

Laying cork may not be your favorite task. But you do a wonderful job, I love seeing folks doing this making the job look easy. I never could do it, so my track has road bed, fastrack .

[@jamesfitch6431]

Lookin great. Nice work.

[@brianbaird3]

Grab your what 😂. Love the video's

[@henrycummins764]

great video Dave you have given me more inspiration to build my new oo gauge or ho gauge layout

[@AstroKnight118]

I use a mix of flex track and sectional track based on how I feel when I am building and I tend to replace the sectional track later if it’s causing problems, but usually it doesn’t if you give it a good clean every once and a while. Right now on my grandfathers layout we are replacing the sectional track and the old switches with flex track and nice walthers switches. Love your layout, Dave, looks great so far

[@ScottRails]

Sectional track is just fine, but it's not great on inclines, especially curved sectional track.

[@paulmarmion358]

Looking good 👍

[@LyntreeTown20132]

great job and trains are running well

[@elleryparsons2433]

You Spaced The Cork Out Perfectly Nice👍👍.

[@ScottRails]

Thank you.

[@JeffHanna-f3d]

Another great video. New track is always exciting and combined with the loco running on the outside loop at the same time… does not get any better. It still scares me that you do not have some sort of railing around on your bridge. Thanks Jeff

[@ScottRails]

Hey Jeff. I'm going to a train show tomorrow, will be on the hunt for a nice bridge to disguise the functional bridge.

[@JeffHanna-f3d]

Any luck finding a bridge today at the train show? Jeff

[@ScottRails]

Nah, it was a pretty small show.

[@elleryparsons2433]

That Track Plan Is Lookin A Lot Better👍👍👍👍.

[@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125]

I seen Mr Dodge funny how we find the same channels, I just subscribed.

[@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125]

You Also do track work. Nice work.

[@achb-railway]

Looking good! That's where I kinda ended up too - ran out of my used track on my layout. Still have lots of bits and pieces, but no complete lengths. Probably going out to buy more today.

[@terrytraina6080]

Great video Dr Dave!!!!full steam ahead!!

[@Hawaii_HO]

Awesome indeed!

[@johnbanicki7232]

Making great progress. Looking very good! Thanks for sharing.

[@caboosech]

Fantastic video waiting to see both trains running

[@markriley3412]

You're so inspiring Dave! Now I need to get started on ripping up my old track and design a new layout. 😊

[@marksinthehouse1968]

Nice one Dave we could use you over here on HS2😂😂are you going to fill the gaps with sleepers to give a seamless look ,all the best bud Mark 😊😊

[@ScottRails]

Absolutely. I will also paint over all the solder joins.

[@OldcampRanch]

Looking good, two loops are twice are good as one 👍🏻

[@BriansModelTrains]

Looks great Dave. You could put on some shorter shank couplers on your Delaware Hudson passenger cars now you have the wide curves.

[@ScottRails]

Those are just temp coaches. I'm on the hunt for a more appropriate set

[@mikeuk1954]

I thought North American trains ran on the right-hand side? Very good start to your rebuild, and I'm looking forward to the updates.

[@elleryparsons2433]

Before Ya Know It Train Party!!

[@o.northland4942]

Again bravo Dave. That is a lot of effort. But is‘nt that great to see such long trains gracefully swing by…

[@ScottRails]

Yes, it's glorious.

[@ianmacpherson8611]

hey Dave, I thought you might have taken the turnout for your outer staging line just after the station, then that would give you a larger staging area. just a thought. love the videos.

[@ScottRails]

I thought about that, but it would mean another over reaching area in the corner. I plan to make scenic areas in blocks, which I can place in the corners and forget about.

[@avlisk]

I haven't used Atlas turnouts for a long time. But when I did, wires couldn't be soldered to the frogs. They had metal bars that screwed into the frogs which would take solder and allowed the frogs to be powered. Let us know if it's still the same. Thanks.

[@ScottRails]

They have just one little bar with a hole. Still confused what to do with them. I thought there should be two connections.

[@avlisk]

No. Only one wire to the frog, and the polarity of that wire changes depending on whether the frog needs to be + or - . That's why I love the Tam Valley Frog juicer so much with DCC. 2 wires into the Juicer, one wire to the frog. A Tortoise, or similar under table switch machine does the same thing. @@ScottRails

[@dexterdog62]

There isn’t a Home Depot in Canada anywhere within a 200 km radius of me that has those cork sheets in stock. There’s a Home Depot not far from me in NY state that has some so either I’m fishing out my passport or coming up with an alternative. And you can’t find the conventional Midwest product anywhere either. Every online retailer has them on back order. And Amazon is no help either. I recently did what you did and ripped up my old layout and now I can’t run any trains for lack of roadbed. Progress at a complete standstill. So frustrating.

[@ScottRails]

I had to wait a week for mine to come in. Is there a global cork shortage or something?

[@ScottRails]

Are you down Niagara way? My local store can have it by march 7th (Hamilton)

Nice job Dave what’s the radius ? Great video and share enjoy the rest of your day. Till the next one Keep it on the trackssss 😎🚂🫵TSM

[@NZMOPAR]

30 and 28 i think the 2 big loops are and I think the inner 3rd loop is a mix of 19 and 20 22 or something like that

[@ScottRails]

28" and 30". I think it's a pretty good compromise of space and running.

[@joeraderblackrockcentralrr]

Looks great Dave. Well done
