LAYOUT TOUR - N Scale - Norfolk Southern / CSX - Charleston, Roanoke and Eastern Railway

[@charleswoods9938]

Hey there you have a great and nice N scale Layout you have a great set out of your layout I like the way you run that Amtrak Train I really like those two Amtrak Locomotives its a shame we cant see these locos on todays rails I really miss those locos and I like the coal trains you ran and they look great

[@charleswoods9938]

Also I like to say thanks for showing your N scale Layout to us folks please just keep up the good work on your Layout ok and thanks once again

[@charleswoods9938]

That's a great N scale layout a great operation there I like the coal trains that will run thru those areas

[@MrZeldalove]

What an incredible track plan! Can't wait to see the scenery develop, and thanks for running them realistically. I've seen some wonderful layouts that have jack rabbit starts, 150 mph freights and small plant switching at 50 mph. Nothing ruins it and sends me somewhere else than that does. I have manners and I'm just happy that someone enjoys his layout, so I say nothing about such, but I care nothing for it.

[@TheBraniffTaylor]

what a beautiful layout, I can tell you have put a lot of work and craftsmanship into it! Excellent job-always enjoy seeing the Southern engines!

[@NSTrainFan]

Thanks man, Marcus puts a lot of work into it. Since this video was made, he has gotten even more done.

[@ronstrainsandmore]

absolutely an awesome layout marcus my favorite railroads great job

[@richardhaight8620]

A very enjoyable video. Look forward to seeing more of the CR&E.

[@davido9345]

Very nice layout. I model in N scale and used to live in Roanoke and now I live in Charleston, so your layout certainly caught my eye. Well done.

[@Mercatoyd]

this was an excellent video.. the narration throughout was awesome taking us on the journey as the train worked its way through the layout. Thank you for sharing this one. Tom

[@zBoltonOnRailstream]

This is amazing! Such an interesting and well-built layout! Love the Amtrak and the private cars on the end as well!

[@36conductor]

Great job guys, looking forward to the layout updates. There's a lot you can do with N scale as i am learning. Limited on space, I have an N layout featuring the NW and the old C&O operations in the early 60's to the Chessie era. i collect all scales but, oh well!

[@HyndmanHelper]

Excellent looking layout! It's pretty elaborate and the scenery is nice.

[@ronstrainsandmore]

Absolutely a fantastic video great job looks awesome nice layout!!

[@nscalefun]

Enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

[@NSTrainFan]

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@CaptNemo100]

You have an awesome setup! I grew up watching the N & W and Southern railways. A lot of the time the Southern would use a mid-train helper with a separate remote control car latched up (northbound through Danville and Lynchburg). The first time I saw this I thought it was coolest thing ever. I remember them using the GP50s, MP15 switchers, and NW2s as helpers. The Southern had so many switchers - they would sometimes use them on the main line as head locomotives.

[@theamazingstickman]

You have just earned yourself a new subscriber!

[@charleswoods9938]

Hey I m hoping you can make another big video on from your big N scale layout I m hoping you can run some CSX trains there I m for one I am a big fan of Louisville and Nashville and another railroad that you don't have and that's the Illinois Central Gulf Railroads and I also like the Southern and SCL Railroads and all of those Railroads are each interesting to me I say they are great Railroads and thanks for the video that you showed us I m hoping for another video in the future

[@PennRailVideos]

Great video Ben really cool layout!

[@Mike_On_Film]

That is a really sweet layout!

[@TheAnunnaki-NYC]

Fantastic! I love HO & N scale models. My favorite scales!

[@NSTrainFan]

Yes, they're based on the loops up above Old Fort. He plans to put a model of the gysher where the layout goes from the lower level to the upper level.

[@NSTrainFan]

Thanks, his layout will be even more impressive once more scenery has been completed.

[@NSTrainFan]

Thanks man, I will have more layout tours in the future.

[@NSTrainFan]

Thanks DJ, I'm hopefully recording another layout this weekend and have one for sure at the end of the month.

[@NSTrainFan]

Thank you Mark, I just completed editing the one that will be coming out on March 1st last night. So be on the lookout for that! Thanks for watching!

[@lawbench191]

Beautiful layout!

[@cajunrescuemedic]

Nice set up.....very cool

[@NSTrainFan]

Thank you and I try to promote the hobby that I enjoy.

[@fighting17chicago]

Great videography and what a fun layout to play....Ehem, simulate on!

[@donsgotmoney]

What an awesome layout, if sound on your motive power becomes an option, this layout will be more awesome than it already is. Excellent video work as well.

[@NSTrainFan]

Thanks LionelKid18, and they are all around the Charlotte/Salisbury area that I have been shooting so far.

[@NSTrainFan]

Thanks man, we figure that train would go nice with giving the feeling of being on a train tour.

[@NSTrainFan]

Thanks, it's definitely fun to run trains on it.

[@djstrains]

Good job Ben

[@NSTrainFan]

Thanks and he has made major progress since I recorded this.

[@paulkirkmanMYTRAINS]

Very impressive. Thanks for making this video.

[@Hornhausen]

Very nice layout.

[@NSTrainFan]

[@NSTrainFan]

[@NSTrainFan]

Great looking layout man!

[@W1AOM]

Super setup!!!

[@macrolog]

great layout

[@CSXGP38]

Very impressive.

[@NSTrainFan]

Thank you, I'll tell Marcus you said this.

[@HumancityJunction]

Are there any recent videos of this layout on KZbin? I would be interested in a current update.

[@JustTheTwoOfUsHomestead]

Okay. So I’m impressed.

[@nsfan4life]

awesome vid!

[@trainman0771]

an excelent idea, more videos

[@NSTrainFan]

A lot of scenery to be added. I recorded this pre-scenery for a majority of the layout.

[@stonetnt24]

I want to see how this layout looks today!

[@nsmodeler24]

Are some of these locations based off of the NS line between asheville and salisbury? Some of the names sound familiar. Great looking layout!

[@NSTrainFan]

He is still working on it, but if I'm not mistaken has been working on this current layout since 08/09.

[@NSTrainFan]

I will hopefully do an update later on this year of his layout. In the mean time I have another layout tour video that I will post this Friday.

[@fireglo450music]

The lower deck (particularly in the yards) doesn't look complete to me. Is there more scenery planned or is it going to stay bare wood?

[@NSTrainFan]

Mike, you'll have to come see it sometime with me.

[@NSTrainFan]

Staging yards, future industries or to represent towns off the layout.

[@avugiak]

Awesome love it!

[@NSTrainFan]

Thanks man!

[@NSTrainFan]

Thanks man.

[@NSTrainFan]

Thank you!

[@djmpvae27091978]

Cool layout. We'll done & keep the work going. How long did you. Need 2 make this layout?

[@airsoftguru157]

So is there a reason why some tracks lead off to nowhere? Just curious

[@ApePan123]

NSTrainFan, I'm going to model a part of WV on a line that stretches from Saint Albans (just outside of Charleston), to a Rand (another city just outside of Charleston). I was hoping maybe you or the guy in this video could provide me with some local consists or somethin??? The help would be much appreciated :)

[@dexterdog62]

Can someone please explain to me how it's possible for this video to have 12 thumbs down? This is an excellent overview of an awesome layout. I just don't get it...

[@eoinpkav152]

dexterdog62 Its called an opinion

[@tadheath5856]

dexterdog62 .....one word!!!!....."JEALOUS " .....I don't give shit if he had water running off his layout and it was running down the siding of level......I'd still put like....it's not how we want these layouts.....it's how u guys the builders want them....Ive never hit a dislike....if so it was when my women was talking to me and I hit it by mistake on my phone. But anyways.... back off the people that are making these cause they are going end up saying the hell with the videos and then what....HO scale video's? HELL NO!!!....lol joke to the HO scale people!!! So back off the dislikes....let's see yours if u rs are better than the dislikes u so call...dis-like!!!....I'm done I'm pissed...

[@tacomamike2005]

Thanks for the sub...Great layout and i have subbed...

[@NSTrainFan]

Local consist such as train ID's?

[@CintiRailFan]

I've had an HO layout for over 40 years. I had an N guage layout for a couple years but I always had trouble keeping these small engines running smooth. How do you keep them running so well? There must be a secret.

[@21xd09]

Let me guess, You have the Kato brand trains.

[@Skywarriorguru]

what code track you use ? code 55 or 80?

[@GMEMD_SD40-2]

What is roughly the year modeled? Mid 1980's?

[@NSTrainFan]

Marcus uses code 55 on his layout.

[@fredentrekin8726]

Im watching your video when something caught my attention, who or what is Entrekin farms???

[@crerailway6576]

It is a freelanced business name for an industry on the railroad. I named it after my friend Marion Entrekin, a retired Norfolk Southern/Southern Railway dispatcher, whose family owns a farm in SC.

[@starrybright2]

CR&E Railway Marion is my uncle. What a treat to see this. I'm actually one of the "Entrekins"!

[@NSTrainFan]

Atlas, Kato, Athearn, all type of brands.

[@roanokesnswinston-salemdis8629]

This is a Awesome Layout, & would be a dream of mine to have the opportunity to be able to run a operation session here sometime. I was wondering if you could share some info on the owners page for this layout. I would really enjoying speaking with them as Roanoke is my hometown where I was born & raised. I would love for you to come by my channel once I get some of the newer videos uploaded to my channel dedicated to my N Scale Layout of the the NS Winston-Salem District(aka) The Pumpkin Vine. Love these videos, & I look forward to watching more...

[@NSTrainFan]

This sounds like a challenge to me. I'll see what I can find worse just for you. :-)

[@mikeggg5671]

Nice layout- where is it located?

[@jimtrack3786]

Excellent video. I very much enjoyed it. Thanks guys!. Please check out my home layout "Albany RR". Not so elaborate as yours but I hope you like it. The New York Central 1960 in Albany Park New York.

[@johnstafford4304]

this isn't a layout it's a wip very little scenery

[@NSTrainFan]

It has a lot of scenery now since this was filmed. It was still a layout then, just in a beginning stage.

[@c.s.charles2102]

That is quite a layout. It looks nowhere near finished.

[@redgreen09]
