Cool layout. The helix is way cool. Thanks for sharing this video. Subbed. 🚂🚃🚃🚃

[@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530]

Great Video, and fantastic freight trains, especially the BigBoy. Have a good time. Best regards

i have G scale but just a starter kit i bought from LGB 25 years ago......i painted the little Steam engine flat black and the 2 passenger cars that came with it green and the caboose i did flat black too......i like the look i gave them...come to think about it i might give the caboose a flat red barn color instead.......i also bought a box of 48 inch straight too and a couple of turn outs......the train and track have been sitting in the garage for the past 20 years in 2 cement mixing tubs getting all dusty and dirty.

I think it’s time to get it out!

[@josephpruett5661]

Fantastic work this is phenomenal congratulations on a job well done best regards, J.R.

[@TheeFishGuy]

Thanks! I still have to get the bridges installed, get mulch and make the walkway around the layout but it’s getting there!

[@keithkindler6976]

Love watching the Big Boy run!😅

[@TheeFishGuy]

Same!

[@nuke22]

excellent progress.......although i do miss the random bricks and twigs holding up the track

[@TheeFishGuy]

Oh don’t worry, I have a surprise coming

[@davespendio7809]

anther outstanding video - thank you for taking the time!

[@TheeFishGuy]

Thank you. 😊

[@michaeltherien9802]

Your Helix is F’n sweet!

[@TheeFishGuy]

I know! Right? I love it!

[@nw2017]

we need to make a trip up and run , the additions look awesome!

[@TheeFishGuy]

Indeed

[@ronaldrondeau7870]

great fun to watch

[@Joe-pb3lx]

you have quite the layout....looks fun

[@TheeFishGuy]

Thank you! It is fun!

[@icebearexprez9515]

And I love the bachmann man well switch throws ... Try it

[@TheeFishGuy]

I have about ten of them but over 70 switches on the entire layout. That would be quite the expensive venture!

[@icebearexprez9515]

Well just like my Cadillac.. One piece at time

[@ddemon1]

I really like the cutout down to the lower level you did. It looks realistic! What is the % grade of it?

[@TheeFishGuy]

Thanks! 2%

[@Joe-pb3lx]

i run HO and most of my locomotives are GP9's.....love the GP9's here too

[@TheeFishGuy]

I have five, I LOVE high noses!

[@Joe-pb3lx]

@@TheeFishGuy ......thats awesome....maybe run them all at the same time sometime?

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@Joe-pb3lx not without help. The layout is too complicated… Though I have run four at the same time by myself…

[@Joe-pb3lx]

@@TheeFishGuy ....is there a mainline you can run it around without worries of hitting switches?

[@TheeFishGuy]

@@Joe-pb3lx yes, two actually. Well, it’s optional two mains or flip four switches and have one long main.

[@icebearexprez9515]

So for the record... 3 aristo drop n gonna will hold LGB bulk rail.. ???

[@TheeFishGuy]

It’s not not LGB bulk rail, it’s extruded rail someone made so it’s flexible and bends when I go around curves!
