I keep coming back to this -- it is one of my favorite layouts, and a big inspiration for me to add a hint of switching to my own layouts. You have excellent taste in O-scale! (not to mention the arcade too 😁)

[@yeksun]

Thanks ! Im glad you like it. I must say that was probably my favorite layout. Switching is fun . I havent put up a layout in a couple years . I do miss it but its a ton of work as you know. perhaps next year. The arcade stuff is fun too. There is no shortage of hobbies. Just not enough time. Thanks again , Rich

I commented a year ago, but enjoyed seeing the layout again. Model railroads need industrial sidings and businesses to serve so you can do switching operations. Otherwise it's just a train going around in a never ending circle. I enjoy this kind of operating much more. It shows how much can be done with old Lionel.

great job. And everything g worked, too. Awsome.

[@silverfox5319]

Wonderfully planned layout that incorporates pickups and setouts, just like a real railroad. The accessories and vehicles are really nice. Its easy to understand why you have so much fun operating this layout. Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

Prototypical operations in your yard job well done I enjoyed the video.

[@dugbard1921]

Outstanding action and operation. Thoroughly enjoyed watching. Keep up the good work.

[@yeksun]

Thank you. I enjoy doing the switching operations and shuffling the cars around but I realize it is not something that most people like to watch. So I am glad you enjoyed it.

@@yeksun Some guys have point to point railroads with lots of switching. It makes operating enjoyable and interesting as opposed to simply watching a train go around in circles.

Wow... you’ve got all the classic pieces! I love how you don’t clean up the mess from the coal loader... a nice touch of realism.

There isn't one thing about this layout I don't like. Obviously old Lionel stuff is indestructible. This railroad must give you countless hours of operating pleasure. I love switching operations. The old tinplate track is nice to see again, too. I presume some of your locomotives are newer MTH stuff with modern sound systems. I like all the Plasticville, too. Great video. I stayed wide awake all through it! :-) Thanks for posting.

[@yeksun]

The NW2 and the A5 are both newer Lionel Chief Plus. I like them they have lots of good features for a good price. This was last years layout. and it was really fun. This year I had very little time and did no planning. So this years is nowhere near as fun to operate. It just goes round and round. I will post a video in a few weeks. I think it still turned out nice though

[@1940limited]

@@yeksun So you've dismantled this layout and built another one? I thought it was a permanent fixture, or hoped it was. Anyway, I really enjoyed it. I'll subscribe to your channel for updates. Thanks for the reply.

[@yeksun]

Oh yes its dismantled. This is something I do for Christmas . I do something different every year. I start setting up in late Oct. Its done in the 1st week of Dec. . I leave it up til 1st week of Feb. Check out my channel. look at all the years. Its fun to watch it progress

[@hollyferguson7340]

[@waynebarnes1047]

You did a fine job of switching and I love your layout. Keep us all up to date. Greetings from Pa.

You always create great looking Lionel layouts. I like your use of bridges near or on table edges so sometimes they are 'real' bridges. Some of your factory/industrial buildings - are they Korber kits? That is also a nice looking MTH switch tower. Is it easy to remove the roof on the switch tower to add a railroad employee at the controls in the tower? You do create great model railroad layouts.

[@yeksun]

Thanks for the nice comment. Im sorry I dont know if the buildings are Korber kits. I do know that they are kits of some sort. I bought these from a friend and they were already assembled. The mth tower was easy to remove the roof to ad the guy inside. I always try to make my layout "make sense" So i try to have bridges go over things, Roads that go places and connect with other places, and so on. Im glad you noticed this and can appreciate it.

[@yeksun]

Thanks for the comments guys. This was one of my most fun layouts. I really enjoyed operating this one.

[@lucinator8582]

It’s a great layout
