Jim Young's Amazing N-Scale Layout

[@jamesyoung1127]

hello there mr. roy thank you for coming to my house it was a great day for sure hanging out with you and todd and the ladies. it was my perfect birthday wish and weekend that week couldnt have asked for more. cant wait to see your video of todds layout also. i also wanted to say thank you to all that replyed to this video. you humble me with all your praise and i thank you all for it. it is so fulfilling to me as a person and a modelrailroader to hear all your comments. it really means a lot to me and i cant thank you all enough. you all should realize that your railroads have givin me inspiration and ideas along with many others in the train world. my mentor and good friend todd treaster is one of the reasons that i am able to do such stuff he has taught me a lot and i do mean a lot in this hobby over the last 30 plus years. to meet people like roy, todd , steve wilson, mike sabia , vinny, big john t, and a host of others makes me a better person and modler. thank you all again

Jim, I want you to know that you deserve every single kind word written about you and your layout is the comments to this video. I cannot tell you just how much I enjoyed our time together during my recent trip to Pennsylvania. Thank you for creating such a beautiful layout, and thank you for allowing me to share it with the model railroad community. Stay well, my friend. Until we next meet.... Roy P.S. I'm pinning your comment to the top of the comments.

Nostalgic. I feel like a child looking at these layouts.

[@toddtreaster5873]

Jim has an awesome layout. He is very good at building and track laying. Everything about his laying is well done. Jim has been a life long friend and we enjoy sharing ideas. Thank you Roy for another great video.

[@n-scaleunionpacificevansto6569]

You are absolutely right, Todd. Hanging out with Jim and you during my recent trip to PA was tons of fun. It was a real pleasure to share his layout with the model railroad community - as it will be with yours, coming soon. ...Roy

[@TwoRailfans]

I was blown away by the number of locomotives sitting on the track!

Model railroading really is about the journey not the destination. I can't imagine a worse thing than finishing. 😆

[@n-scaleunionpacificevansto6569]

So true, Mark. I can't even imagine ever being "done" with my layout. ...Roy

Hi Roy, Thanks for sharing Jim's great layout with us! I was also at last years N Scale Weekend in Altoona. I'm sorry I did not get to meet both you gentlemen. Maybe this year? Mike

Hi Mike! I hope I can make it to the next N-Scale Weekend in Altoona. It would be great to meet up with you there. ...Roy

This is really nice! I like the part where they go under the bridge, and all the lights.

what an amazing layout! For the scale train ethusiasts, N scale is the option if we don't have an spare room for it. I will upload on my channel how I made my N layout on a coffee table on a video soon

[@riogrande5761]

Sounds you made a trip to my region. I live just west of Manassas VA near Bealton VA and am working on an HO basement layout which is about 15x36 feet roughly based on the D&RGW Grand Junction area and westward (era: late 70's thru early 80's). My problem is having enough time to get to the point of this layout. I am collecting a roster of N scale rolling stock because I expect to downsize in another 5 years or so. In the meantime work progresses in my basement - I have a blog of sorts on the AtlasRescueForum in the Project Archive section. Enjoyed viewing this video! Cheers.

great layout - I'm not an enthusiast or anything - just stumbled on to this - - when I was a kid I had a friend who's uncle built rideable trains - he had tracks running all around his house and quite the impressive workshop - I only got to see it all just once but it was pretty cool - - I like what this guy has done hear though, very nice, my only suggestions would be to slow the trains down to make look more natural (Just my opinion) also if they sell them, the cars need graffiiti decals or something - that would look awesome

Nice layout but a little too 'clinical' for me. Life is full of wear and tear and we should try to present that side of it too by westhering. Perhaps that's part of the project in the future?

[@TriGogglin]

Roy, you werr absolutely correct, it did inspire me, I had the pleasure of visiting Tonys N scale layout from @redbirdtony2010 so haveing seen this and his, i am more motivated to get back to work on my own. Thanks for taking us along. Glad your visit to the states was a safe and happy one.

Looks like there's more than one man needs. Can never run it all at the same time.

Can be a very good social exercise with numerous friends operating such a layout
