[@jimweed7269]

Congratulations! I'm having breakfast and getting ready to play with trains today at the San Diego Model Railroad Museum. Your channel is one of the reason I've gotten back into trains big and small.

[@ToyManTelevision]

That sounds like a great day! Have fun! San Diego! Sooo cold everywhere. Save us some sun. 🚀🚀🚀🚂🚂🚂🚂🌞🌞🌞

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

A lot of thought goes into a big project like this. Looks great so far. I cannot wait to see it finished.

[@ToyManTelevision]

You and me both!🚂🚂🚂🚀🚀. But with any luck, I should have the two ends of the railroad connected this week! Or next week. Or the week after.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi again!!! 😊🚂🚂🚂

[@robertemmons2260]

Congrats on your 1000th episode! It'll be a sad day when you two can't get out to play. You two have been very busy! Looking forward to your progress. Take care.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thank you! I hope to be around for another 1000 episodes, but who knows what the future holds! I’m glad you enjoy the show.😊😊😊😊🚂🚂🚂🚀🚀🚀

[@johnandrus3901]

Nice! The chasing of the Big Boy was fun to watch. Your outdoor trains are really neat. I've thought about putting something in my back yard and maybe it will come to fruition in a couple of years. An excellent video, as always.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Glad you liked it! It takes a while to get everything in place, but it’s really fun to watch it all come together! In my opinion, it’s not so much important what you build as the fact that you dive in and just start building something. I hear so many people say that they don’t have room for a model railroad. What they’re really saying is I don’t have room for the model of railroad. I’d love to have! But anyone can build a shelf that’s 18 inches wide and 8 feet long, and it can be hugely satisfying, and a lot of fun.

[@franksmodels29]

Congratulations on your milestone and many more to come 👍👍👍👍

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thank you! We’re working in the shop now. Cold front. Geeeees.

[@ThatBIGTRAINGuy]

Wooow, 1000 shows? Amazing! Very well done. Talking of chasing trains, I'm currently putting together my video of when I chased a train out of Durango, then later in the day chased a train into Chama 😂. (My 69th video!). It's always great seeing your model railroad. I started watching you when you were just pulling out some models before starting the build. It's always great to see it's progress. Onwards!!! 🚂

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi!!!! How’s the island? It’s really cold here just now. 10° F. But we are the warm spot! So model railroading inside with the heat on. We are hoping you’re well. Say hi to the king if you should happen to run into him.

[@ThatBIGTRAINGuy]

@@ToyManTelevision Haha! Not too bad over here, - just above freezing so quite mild 😂 I've not seen him yet, but if I do I will indeed say hi 😁👍

[@azmike1]

Congratulations on the 1000 grandest videos. You are a formidable artist and I like the channel a lot. It's calming. Hang in there! Good job! Both of you!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thank you very much! 🚀🚀👍 🚂🚂🚂. I enjoy making the show almost as much as I enjoy making the railroad!

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

A cold Sunday morning (9F, windchill -12F) and watching a great video. Congratulations on the 1000th video. Always great to watch a great husband and wife together.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying the content! 🚂🚂🚂. Always nice to see you here! Some kind of miserable cold out there isn’t it? Fortunately it’s not so bad here. Supposed to hit single digits tonight. But only around 30° right now.

[@ToyManTelevision]

We do, however, have the coldest spot in the lower 48 located just a few miles from here. Well, I shouldn’t say just a few miles but let’s say about 70 miles. I guess. Peter sinks. Somebody put in a weather station there just because they thought it was a really cold spot and they were not disappointed. I believe it was -40 something last night.

[@charlesmcclure5994]

Well it looks like you got a lot of work to do this winter their young man, can't wait to see the progress on it 👍👍

[@ToyManTelevision]

I know! It’s gonna be a blast! 🚀🚀🚀. Yesterday I laid ties and rail in place. I need to get some more rail, but there seems to be a shortage of it. It’s like toilet paper I guess. Anyway, I’m going to focus my attention on connecting the two ends of the railroad and just let the lead over to the turntable go for a while.

[@charlesmcclure5994]

Sounds like a plan they're my good man 👍👍

[@Ken4trains]

Congratulations on 1000th show! Wow, as I was watching your track planning I noticed right off the bat before you said the “track would need to come out to make that curve. Crazy how after doing track long enough ya notice stuff like that. Looks good and great see the progress!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Good call! It’s always necessary to make adjustments. It never goes as planned. Not exactly. This would work as planned if not for the coaling tower. But I need 1/2” more space for the tower. 🚂🚂🚀🚀🚂🚂

[@invertd007]

Congratulations! I believe I've seen every show!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thank you so much! Glad you’re here! Thank you sooooo much!!!! I can’t get rail! Shortage. Sigh. I have 24 feet of rail. So I’m going to lay the track from the portal to the yard lead. And about three feet of the lead to the turntable. Then onto the tunnel portals. Until the rail arrives.

[@daviddryden8088]

This channel has been a delightful part of my Sunday and Tuesday mornings for something like 10 years now. Nothing said Sunday morning like a hot cup of joe and a new video of train related screwing around. Thank you for such perfect entertainment and many more years ahead I hope! 1000 videos and I've probably only seen half of them...lots of screwing around in the archives to get to.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying the show! It’s a fun hobby! Modeling and editing are kind of the same thing. Well technically, I guess they’re not, but they’re both really enjoyable past times. Thank you so much for watching.🚀🚀🚀🚂🚂🚂🚂

[@lonewolfe31619]

Congrats to you 2 keep up the great work I'm sure you will work out the Turn Table deal really love turntables and steam locomotives on top of modern equipment.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks so much! The turntable is a pretty big job and we’ll have to see about getting it done this year. 🚂🚂🚂🚀🚀🚀.

[@scottpecorino6320]

" any horizontal surface becomes a junk pile" how true to 1000 more shows

[@ToyManTelevision]

Any unfinished part of the layout. Oh.. just set it right there…

[@garypearsall1589]

Wow! Congratulations on 1000 shows. Thank you for the hours of entertainment and information. I believe I have seen them all. I still remember the episode at your "retirement party." That got me hooked.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi!! Wow. Just laid off. Birthday. The show lead to meeting Karyn. And so it goes! What a new life. Screwing around full time. Building the railroad. Models. Editing the show. Music. Some fun making the show every morning. Coffee and editing. As much fun as working on the layout. Anyway THANKS for your support!! Stay warm!!

Great vidio, can't wait ta be running trains from end to end. Thanks for the morning coffee...

[@ToyManTelevision]

Morning!☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️. Stay warm!! Thanks for watching and sharing coffee with us!

Ps. So close to having track from end to end!

[@loispadgett6306]

Congratulations on a 1000 shows looking forward to a 1000 more. This will be fun watching you work on the inside of the layout inside. Just know will learn alot from this serious no track laying. Looking forward to this one. Thanks for the Big Boy memories. GOD BLESS 🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thank you! I appreciate it! 🚂🚂🚂 Love the Big Boy too!! God bless you too 😊

[@ollieahokas9179]

Cobgrats on the episode number 1000. I find your adventures in large scale very interesting to follow and the idea of having a partly indoor and outsoor lay out on stilts in good because afer all, none of us gets any younger and having the in your face experienece of seeing thos trains. Hopefully your engine servicing area fits and becomes manageble, one of the downsides of large scale as you not always realize how large they are actually. My Bachmann RGS C19 is well and sits on G scale track quite comfortable. Cheers from Sweden!

[@historybuff7491]

Congratulations.

[@westernnewyorkrailfan]

Congrats on 1000! I look forward to watching every Tuesday and Sunday-and especially for the garden railroad tips!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks!!! We will be back out there soon!

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Congratulations on 1000 wonderful shows!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi dave! I saw you’ve got your new video up and I just haven’t had a chance to look at it! I’m sure it’s amazing. We love that little railroad you’re building. People who say they don’t have room for a layout, well they just don’t have space for the layout of their dreams. I love to see these little tiny railroads, especially when they’re gems like this one.

[@Scoobers-fj6jk]

Awesome 👌 👏 👍

[@johnmalley4355]

Awesome & Congrats on your 1000th show. It’s been a really good show along the way. And hoping for another 1000 shows. I’m sure it’s a lot of work, but man is it neato… Thanks Dale & Karyn

State Of Exhaustion? Funny!🤣

[@brucethebassbrand4564]

Hi Dale & Karen..... Chuckle. Chasing trains. I will have to say, I've done that numerous times in the last 40 - 50 years. The first time..... I missed boarding the Skunk Train by 10 minutes in Fort Bragg. Keep in mind, this was in the late '70s..... When we had no cell phones, Google maps, etc. So I just headed east on the road to Willits, thinking I might find a spot to take pictures of the train going by. Well, I know now the railroad goes one way, and the road goes another. Reached Willits a little over an hour later..... Only to learn the train would not be there for another 2 and 1/2 hours. Lesson learned.

[@ToyManTelevision]

I know that feeling! I've been chasing trains for 20+ years and always end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. For me, one of the greatest frustrations before we had cell phones was trying to figure out if I was ahead of her behind the train. I’d arrive at the location that I wanted to see thinking that I must be there just before the train because I just chased it from a different location, we need to find no one there. So does that mean the train has already passed that point or is it still yet to arrive so I’m setting up my camera, hoping that the train will soon be there and sometimes it was and sometimes it wasn’t!

[@TristanMorrow]

Idk about the full circle turntable; if space is tight, the pit itself can be truncated at the fascia -- a 🌖or 🌗instead of🌕 If it pivots on the pivot point, the turntable bridge should be fine swinging over the aisle but that's dependent on its construction and how heavy the locos are.

[@ToyManTelevision]

That is an interesting idea! We do have enough space but just barely. When there’s a locomotive on the turntable, it does foul yard lead but as long as the two locomotives, don’t get out there and compete for space everything is OK! We did see a turntable on a live steam railroad where they had done just that. The turntable pit was only halfway around and the bridge swung out over the main line. The things to do when space is tight!

[@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars]

Good stuff

[@ToyManTelevision]

Glad you enjoyed. 🚂🚂🚀🚀🚀

[@johnmcanulty7341]

Perhaps the turntable can overlap the adjacent engine track during its operation? A slight grade change and likely prototypical. Of course. Happy times.

[@ToyManTelevision]

I’ve seen that done! There isn’t clearance but no overlap. But if there’s a locomotive on the turntable the yard lead is fouled. But like I say. They did this! So Proto and fun as well!! 🚂🚂🚂

[@solarusthelonghaulerrailfa3226]

Well guys we found out how tuff the tuff shed was 😁👍

[@ToyManTelevision]

We’ve been debating getting a larger one and moving that to a different location and the tenants use it. Those things are just amazing.

[@johnmcanulty7341]

Or, the loco riding on the turntable could suddenly rise up over the adjacent track via a mechanical cam. At the the shaft of the turn table?

[@ToyManTelevision]

We saw that very thing on a live steam railroad. The turntable pit was only halfway around and the bridge swung out over the top of the main line. Gee, what could possibly go wrong?

[@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877]

Happy millennium...

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! 🚂🚂🚂😊
