Now that I see the movement from the lower level to the upper level back down to the lower level all I can say is - BRILLIANT! Way to go JD!

[@JDStucks]

Thank you!

[@chrislambert5249]

Great camera angle. Layout is looking great. Thank you

[@severa100]

Awesome Jason! Looks great!👍

[@AWDTrains]

I love the ride along videos!! Nice touch on the diesel behind the steam engine too. Layout looks great!!😀

[@ChrisCauler]

Hi Jason. Glad those NS Railroader and intermodal Freights and intermodal containers didn’t get damaged. Great progress on the layout.

[@JDStucks]

Me too! Those things aren't cheap LOL

[@TheTrainboard]

Real nicely done ride. I've recently started to ballast my atlas track , my two main runs, on my much smaller 18 ft by 24 ft trainboard. Its quite an effort to pour, shape, paste. Let me know when your ready to ballast. I'd love to drive up, help ballast, and see the fun. You'll need the help. Much appreciated. Gary

[@jimmelchin1531]

A different perspective is always refreshing. Your train room and layout are always a pleasure to view. It's coming along nicely. Thank You 👍

[@adiddle7267]

Wow watching the entire ride from that prospective gives an amazing view of your layout instead of seeing it during your videos from the side line. It is such an amazing scene. You can actually see all the hard work you put into it. Thanks for sharing

[@JDStucks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@99thObsidian]

JD, this video inspired me to buy a new 4K action camera. My latest layout video features a ride along with the camera on a flatcar ahead of the engine. These videos really help us know where we need to add scenery.

[@JDStucks]

Awesome! And yes, lot's of scenery ideas.

[@robertbour77]

I'm so impressed! Well done!

[@JDStucks]

Thank you!

[@gordonsnell6735]

Pretty cool seeing it from the locomotive's point of view, good job 😊😊

[@rogerlee3941]

Very nice! I'll be following you along as you continue to build and landscape your layout!

[@JDStucks]

Thank you!

[@shawngallagher7578]

Jason, your video was fantastic and really shows the work you’ve done so far. I can only say that I’m very impressed and envious. 🚂

[@JDStucks]

I like my long trains :)

[@Bigmacland-zl3wo]

Awesome layout/track plan. Love the signaling, the incline, the decline and the mountain design. Together they offer a lot of visual interest.

What a fun ride. Really like the signals , grade up mountain, and the reversing loops on top. What a huge project you are tackling. Looking great.

[@JDStucks]

Thanks!

[@mikesamericanflyertrains]

WOW! Just wow! I could watch this over and over - it’s awesome. What did you use for the camera?

[@JDStucks]

Thanks! GoPro Hero 9

[@alconk7129]

Nice! Btw where did you get the NS loco hanging on your wall? That is so cool!

[@carlmiles8655]

THATS AMTRAK WITH AN A DARN YOU ALZHEIMERS GIVE ME A BREAK DUUH

[@GlennFresch]

Medium Clear! I feel like this is a NORAC test.

[@JDStucks]

LOL!

[@ArthurTodd-ue9rt]

Hello Jason, I enjoy watching you run trains on your layout. I have a question, where did you purchase your two Truss Bridges? I am upgrading my very small layout and need to purchase two Truss Bridges. Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.

[@dakotamurray7184]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="561">9:21</a> OH NO!

[@dagoodsoldier6715]

Hey, that is one of the best layouts I’ve ever seen. Where do you get the back drops from?

[@brandonpittman4778]

Do you have a video on how you build the incline to your layout?

[@3dartistguy]

Dare I say Neat

[@JDStucks]

WOW NEAT!

[@carlmiles8655]

ARE YOU GONNA BALLAST YOUR TRACK JASON NICE TRACK WEATHERING PLEASE FORGIVE ME POSTING IN ALL CAPS I GET EXTREMELY EXCITING TALKING ABOUT OUR HOBBY ;-)

[@FostoriaOhiomodelrailroadclub]

what's the size for your o scale layout

[@jaredcook5486]

Hey I’m building a smaller layout but what’s the curve diameter of your curves, I’m sure you have answered this before. Thanks, Jared

[@bobdutka1176]

Nicely done!👍🏻 How big is your layout? Thanks for sharing.👌

[@JDStucks]

33ft long by about 13ft wide

[@matt515o]

The automated signals are awesome. Do they also stop the trains from entering an “occupied” block or is that part still manually controlled by the operator?

[@JDStucks]

All controlled by the operator. That's how some of these accidents happen LOL

[@matt515o]

@@JDStucks that’s what keeps it interesting! Loved the blooper at the end. Glad there weren’t any casualties.

[@donaldfaris4798]

Jason where did you find the NS locomotive front wall mount? Another NS fan must know.

[@JDStucks]

That's from Stoddarts, but they're currently closed and moving to a new shop.

[@donaldfaris4798]

@@JDStucks Thanks Jason I will keep a eye out for it

[@musicman8942]

Do the Atlas turnouts have the same auto-throw when coming into them from the frog direction and the points are set for the other track like the old Lionel ones?

[@JDStucks]

No, they are sprung though. I have mine wired into an MTH AIU as well.

[@carlmiles8655]

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE THERE IS USUALLY MORE SAID THAN DONE HEEHEE ;-)

[@1jefreys]

So, did the camera cause the wreck? Or not enough train clearance?

[@JDStucks]

Yeah the camera was hanging off the side and caught one of the parallel parked trains. Then an auto rack caught it and pushed the whole thing off.

[@davidhellmig4150]

Just a couple of questions. What track are you using on your bridges and how far apart are your feeding power to your track?

[@JDStucks]

Atlas O track and about every 8ft.
