O Gauge Train Layout Update 16 - The MOUNTAIN Man! - JDstucks

[@tombuka5909]

You are the train man, getting things done in a timely manner. Good looking mountains, and layout. You make me appear very slow with my train projects. Congratulations on your train accomplishments 🎉

[@JDStucks]

Thanks very much!

[@Thetindallman]

That round house looks so real with the trains in it!!! It looks just like a real life one, with real life grains. Great job Jason!

[@chatanugadotorg]

Looking awesome! The mountains give the illusion that the trains along the back wall are further away than they really are.

[@betsy662]

Layout is really taking shape, even though it isn't detailed yet, it's a thousand percent from the plywood central

[@railchief74]

The wife always comes first as the biggest tribute of any layout. Also the roundhouse and Mi-Jac Crane facility are great improvements too. Awesome work Jason.

[@JDStucks]

Thanks Rail Chief!

[@neelix139]

Jason, I just finished having a look at that later KZbin and a cab ride with your Loco around your Railway. I got to have a good look what you’ve done and all your access to various part of the layout one of things I do like that table and chairs, and your little lounge room I would say Railway is in the basement of your house. You got no problems with water leakage or damp at all. Yours, Jeff.

[@garys0scale525]

I would love to come to your open house when you get the landscaping in. Nice video and layout!

[@jamesmelchin2873]

Jason...you've become a mountaineer....it looks fantastic ! 👍👍👍

[@bugsplus3878]

I can't wait to see you ballast the track.

[@moto50forReal]

I just love the tour through the mountain

[@JDStucks]

I enjoy it myself!

[@trainking79]

I like how you said this layout update on the discord that this was just going to be 5 minutes of the layout, and 20 minutes trains, 😂 loves this layout update!

[@JDStucks]

Pretty accurate lol

[@bobgolfs4432]

Great to see - you are going from a room with a layout full of track to a presentation with character! Lots of work to make that transition! Keep it up!

[@ilovedolphins53]

Hi Jason, you need the ET-WNC 12 locomotive & the Yukon Gold 190 locomotive they are both at Tweetsie Railroad Amusement Park in Boone, North Carolina. Thanks for the videos.

[@TwistedMacGyversTrains]

The entire layout is looking amazing. The mountains are absolutely perfect. I can’t wait to see how they will look once they are finished. The opening shot says it all. Can’t wait to see the ballasting get underway. Keep up the great work Jason! Frank

[@williamkolina3988]

Eventually you will be featured in O gauge magazine You are awesome Fine taste in trains

Another great looking video Jason. The mountains look great and well planned out. The go pro shots are amazing. Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the you and Shelby on your first Holiday together as a married couple. Enjoy your trains and family this time of year. This is the time to make memories that will last a lifetime.

[@JDStucks]

Thank you very much. And Merry Christmas!

I don't know squat about model trains (other than I was mesmerized by them as a kid), but I enjoy your channel, and your layout is amazing. Bravo. Subscribed.

[@joeystrains.9316]

Mountains are impressive and the tunnel liners look great!

[@tomrogers5516]

Another great video update, Jason! The new mountain is a great addition and gives real interest to the visuals on the trains moving through the layout. Enjoyed the Go Pro journey through the different levels and portals. Adds greatly to the atmosphere and experience!

[@JDStucks]

Glad you enjoyed it Tom!

[@matthewnelson1370]

I would love to see a larger intermodal yard. I really enjoy your videos. Please keep the videos coming. Just wish I had an area like yours to make my layout just as big.

[@CeolDeamhan]

that track is absolutely gorgeous! I need to find some for my setup!

[@thomasking4136]

Wow. Looking forward to the next update. Very nice.

[@ChrissTrainsandThings]

great update! I can't wait to see this in person!

[@JDStucks]

I bet you can't wait ;)

The new mountain looks amazing! Can't wait to see what the mountains look like with scenery on them!

[@neelix139]

Greetings to your young man well here we are in Rosebud , which is a suburb of Melbourne in Australia. It is now Saturday morning and it’s raining outside. I’m planning to do some work on my G scale Railway, but forget about that I just watched your new segment on your channel concerning your new mountain may I say this well done it looks absolutely superb. It is in good proportion to the rest of the layout. I’m quite impressed about how you did and planned your access points so you can get up inside the mountain or if there’s any problems with track work or derailments, and on a personal note last time I saw one of your KZbin segments you were only engaged to your girlfriend Shelby but in this one you said your wife, so when did you get married? If it’s not too personal if it is forgive me yours, Jeff Melbourne, Australia.

[@JDStucks]

Thanks Jeff! Yes, we got married already. It was a pretty short engagement (6 months). But we're very happy :) Hope you're enjoying the warm weather in Melbourne. I never made it there when I visited your country several years ago, but maybe one day!

[@johntr18nloe28]

Love the mountains

[@LilahMALLEUSTON]

Looks good. I’m happy to see you succeed. Keep up the great work

[@GlennFresch]

I love it. Your layout reminds me more and more of a Pittsburgh / Altoona / Sand Patch scenario.

[@fredsmith6758]

Jason your mountains look great. Can't wait to see some trees and rocks on them.

[@fredsmith6758]

Hi Jason. I'm still waiting for my reindeer 🦌 to come in from the hobby shop. So that I can finish my reindeer 🦌 cars that I made. Its only been about 5 months since I ordered them.

[@Robs3railtrains]

It is the 972 that Nicholas Smith ran a few years ago. Was able to get all the variations that they made: yellow, green, and the ketchup and mustard style as well along with a few other ones they put out

[@OGaugeCNR]

Very well done video Jason! I like the height of the mountain. Will be a whole other look with the scenery. Can’t wait to see it and look forward to it

[@JDStucks]

Thanks so much!

[@samsogaugetrains8670]

Love all the progress! I wish I was smart enough to make an access hole that big. I also spotted a Muncie and western boxcar on the line!

[@sadman68]

Incredible train ride video!

[@oohwhop716]

Beautiful layout

[@mikesamericanflyertrains]

Amazing layout update video Jason! The sheer size of the mountains really becomes apparent when you show yourself inside the mountain access. I really enjoyed the NYC heavyweight and Nickel Plate Road streamlined passenger trains in this video. They are both awesome looking passenger sets. Keep up the awesome work!

[@JDStucks]

Thanks Mike! Sometimes I just sit inside the mountain and watch the trains go by lol

[@mikesamericanflyertrains]

An excellent video as always, Jason. The layout is looking great and those mountains make everything even more interesting. Hopefully, your Holiday season is going well, so far. Looking forward to the next video.

Thank you! Merry Christmas!

[@mslickstrains]

Looks awesome Jason

[@brandonfuzi3436]

Stunning so far

[@EdOkum-y6v]

I think I would paint that section of pipe a color to match the background sky and put trees around the base. The table looks quite professional. Nice job.

[@JDStucks]

Not a bad idea!

[@ssttuuhhll]

Selling not buying rolling stock? I thought I was on the wong video for a minute! 😆 Excuse the pun but the new mountain rocks! It's all coming together nicely. What's the future for the black pipe: blend into the sky or incorporate it into the mountain somehow?

[@JDStucks]

Just need to make room for more trains lol

I love the new mountain Jason as well as all your layout and trains, the new roundhouse and turntable are awesome. I really enjoy watching your videos, keep 'em coming.

[@JDStucks]

Thank you!

[@Thetindallman]

What if on the side of the mountain where the track passes by, you had one of those concrete walls you would usually see along side highways when passing through a mountain or rocky terrain. It would look nice, and you could even have a row of buildings on the other side of the track! That’s just my opinion though. Anything you do will look great!

[@DLewis-k9q]

Hey Jason, nice job on your mountains! It really does add a dimension of reality to see a train emerge and then disappear once again. Are you still interested in Conrail diesels? Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next update!

[@tracyyoung4518]

Great job brother

[@jaymcfalls3576]

I am a long-time avid subscriber and now building a layout. I have a few questions. 1. Do you use 3/4-inch plywood for decking? Is it finished on one side? 2. Why did you not use homosote on top of the plywood? 3. Why did you not paint the decking a color like brown before you installed the track?

[@JDStucks]

Thanks for subscribing. Yes, 3/4" plywood with one side finished. I did not use homosote because with the cork road bed, solid nickel rail, and the smoothness of modern trains, the sound deadening is not necessary. However, there is nothing wrong with using homosote if it's what you prefer. I didn't paint the plywood because it will all be covered in scenery eventually. Just didn't seem necessary to go through the effort of painting.

[@jaymcfalls3576]

Thanks. Sorry for the duplicate query.

[@austinjohnk2728]

The layout is coming along nicely. I enjoy watching you updates! I’m excited to move back to the US and rebuild a new layout myself. I’ll be using some of your videos for reference.

[@JDStucks]

Excellent! Best of luck!

[@angeloavanti2538]

Wow. Super fun.

[@brettmariotte3343]

Hello I just subscribed to your channel! I make train videos too but not o scale train videos however I’m planning to make o scale train videos sometime in the future I also film real life train videos like the N&w 611 train and I also am an big railfan KZbinr though anyway love this video !

[@louisletourneau3429]

What kind of tracks are you using ?The part in the roundhouse is fabulous , Merry Christmas !!!

[@Keiths_OGauge_Trains]

Great video! What are planning to use to cover the mountains or will you just be painting the paper? I'm in the middle of redoing my layout and used plaster cloth on the previous layout. I'm trying to get different options before starting mountain work. Thanks!

[@RayBoebel]

You have an amazing layout sir!!

[@JDStucks]

Thank you!

[@chessiechick]

I love the size of the mountains and the way they break up the layout into smaller scenes without being overpowering. How will you secure trees onto the paper mountains?

[@JDStucks]

The trees will easily secure to the plaster with hot glue or you can puncture the base right through.

[@robertcook347]

Great job Jason ! ! Your layout looks absolutely amazing. ❤ If you are every in the NC area I would like you to stop bye to see mine. I'm not even close to what you have but it keeps me busy at 73 yrs.old. it's pretty big.my long run is 52.9 ft x 6ft wide and much more. Happy Railroading and thank you for what you do for the Model Train Hobby. 😊❤❤ Im not good at making video's. That's because of my age. But I am on KZbin. Very little views and only 13 subscribers. But I keep trying.

[@JDStucks]

Thank you! I don't make it down your way often, but appreciate your offer. I will check out your videos.

[@robertcook347]

Thank you so much Jason I sure do appreciate it. I got my first Lionel train in 1953 it was the Santa Fe and passenger cars. At Christmas my brother always got trains for Christmas. My Dad worked for the Lackawanna Rairoad then it went to Eire Lackawanna, then it went to Conrail and he retired when New Jersey Transit bought it from Conrail. I've been around Trains all my life. All my Post War trains and MPC were all stolen from me. So I just kept buying more. Well now I'm retired and on a fixed income. S.S. and it's not much. So I just do the best I can.

Hey JD, what did you paint your track with it looks fantastic. Love your mountains, I tried the same with heavy painters paper, was difficult to work with because of the thickness.

Great layout. I have a 4x12 o gauge layout with one mainline and a trolley line. Feel Like I still want to go bigger. Something big enough for an o54. Instead of 036. I could only run legacy semi scale

I have found that Mod Podge works great for stiffening the construction paper mountains.

[@daivdwalker2374]

Cant wait how exciting

[@aaronmcmorris1689]

I just got wind of your video Do you still have the NS coil cars?

[@TrainManIII]

Are you planning on using rock molds for the cliff faces and rocks on the mountains or just painting the construction paper gray? It doesn’t look like you’ve got much space between the main line and the mountain cliff.

[@JDStucks]

Yup. Lot's of rock molds. I'll put them where they make sense.

The pipes might "disappear" if you paint them to blend into the background.

[@texaseagletrains]

Awesome video Jason! Congrats on finishing Mt. Shelby! Loved seeing your Berk enter the roundhouse. Watching the autorack train go through the crossover was a sweet shot. My favorite though was the cabview going through the bridge with mountains towering above. Once fully snicker that will be amazing! Thanks again! -Ricky

[@JDStucks]

I often get comments about why I never use my crossovers, so I made sure to include one this time. I use them all the time but don't always get video shots of it.

Good morning to you Jason well here I am in Mac ahs down at Rosebud where I live here in Melbourne. I’ve got a question for you Jason 90 percent of layout. I’ve looked at on KZbin specially American all thrail. Is it an American tradition to have three rail track. Is that a American tradition in the hobby yours, Jeff and all your KZbin on the York exhibitions fascinating so much stock and shops over there gotta remember Australia’s only 25 million compare to the US 410, million here in Melbourne, my knowledge, there is no Ogauge 13:57 Shop is only two shops to cater for Gscale yours, Jeff

[@MrStevesTrains]
