O-Gauge Train Layout Cab Ride

[@PSB-900]

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!

[@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

[@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.

[@chrislambert5249]

Great camera angle. Layout is looking great. Thank you

[@raymondchason2877]

i see the roundhouse is up

[@JDStucks]

Correct ;)

[@amtrack23]

One of the most outstanding video u have ever made the holding light was absolutely awesome touch I can only dream of getting to your level of greatness in the hobby

[@JDStucks]

Thank you!

[@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

[@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!

[@severa100]

Awesome Jason! Looks great!👍

[@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. 🚂

[@robertcampbell6713]

Thanks!

[@JDStucks]

Wow thanks Bob! Now I can go out and buy even more trains! Or maybe dinner for Shelby. Or maybe dog toys. Okay, maybe no trains this time LOL

[@robertbour77]

I'm so impressed! Well done!

[@JDStucks]

Great ride!!! Thanks Jason..

[@bigdaddydiecast3529]

Very nice!! Love your layout Jason!! That's awesome how the front end almost tags the tail end!!

[@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.

[@JDStucks]

A big thank you!

[@gordonpransch3477]

Really nice Jason, alot of time and effort!🚂

[@JDStucks]

Nice when it all comes together and works :)

[@rogerlee3941]

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

[@JDStucks]

Thank you!

[@robertbirath6728]

Wow!! You never disappoint me Jason. You have a fabulous layout and it is so enjoyable to see it from the cab perspective. Love the videos you make. Thanks for sharing. What does your girlfriend think about your hobby and how detailed your layout has become. Fantastic camera work. How about a drone flyover!!🙂👍

[@JDStucks]

Thank you so much Robert. Check out my recent video where I interview Shelby about the trains. You'll get a get out of it.

[@gordonsnell6735]

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

[@keithwood638]

You should paint your wood train board lionel park green color or esrth brown. My train board was just wood color for about 5 years and I finally painted it dark green. Lol you have an awesome looking layout

[@tomrogers5516]

Great ride around the mountain and the upper loop, Jason. Lots of room for long freights! Very enjoyable!

[@henryszubielski8601]

Fantastic video Jason! A remarkable view of your layout. Your doing a fantastic job of promoting the hobby, thanks! I always enjoy the layout updates! Keeping having fun with your friends and the trains.

Amazing. That ride says it all. A lot of thought was put into track planning. Job well done.

[@JDStucks]

Thank you very much!

[@robertlinville6997]

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]

[@macguysgarage]

Looking good Jason! that was pretty cool to see the layout from that prespective!.... side note, whoops...uh at least it didn't land on the floor lol..looks like it wasn't in the "ideal " place

[@JDStucks]

Thanks! GoPro Hero 9

[@elleryparsons2433]

All N All it’s Looking Good.

[@ssttuuhhll]

Wow, that gives such a whole new perspective on your layout! Did you amaze yourself when you looked at the footage? Nice touch finishing with that coal train! ;)

[@JDStucks]

Yes, I always enjoy the cab ride videos of my layout :)

[@willwhite2310]

Straight🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

On my Lionel tubular track layout: signals,,, signals????!!! We don’t need no stinking signals!!

[@OfficalF.R.H.]

Sorry I couldn't make it instantly, I had outdoor ed

[@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.

[@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

[@brandonpittman4778]

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

[@dagoodsoldier6715]

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

[@alconk7129]

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

[@BOBXFILES2374a]

Great layout! Considering the cost of Plywood these days, I'd say it equals 3 or 4 Starter sets?

[@stevedurfee9347]

How do you keep your tracks so freaking clean? What kind of cleaner do you use and how often?

[@bobdutka1176]

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

[@JDStucks]

33ft long by about 13ft wide

[@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 ;-)

[@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.

[@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.

[@3dartistguy]

Dare I say Neat

[@JDStucks]

WOW NEAT!

[@dakotamurray7184]

[@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

[@FostoriaOhiomodelrailroadclub]

what's the size for your o scale layout

[@carlmiles8655]

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

[@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.

[@davidhellmig4150]

@@JDStucks thank you.

[@aidensypolt]

Nice Auto Train.
