One Big Update on the New O Gauge Layout!

[@Bigmacland-zl3wo]

Zach, you don't disappoint. Love the new layout, switch lantern and bridge. Beyond that your commentary is straight up and honest. Keep up the good work.

[@CountryBunkersTrains]

Thank you! Appreciate the kind words 🥃🍻

[@SleeperBBQ]

Love the bridge glad to see you back to filming TY

[@Tinytraveler]

Hey man, here's wishing you all the best with the new train setup! I casually find you in my feed from time to time and its great to see you still cranking out content. Excited to see the finished product, as your last setup was gorgeous.

[@richardarrich9948]

great video. Everything is looking good. I especially like your description of the entrance bridge construction. Your purchase of Train Layouts bridge looks like a winner.

[@ronaldbrooks5982]

Always a great time with friends, old and new. Worlds greatest hobby, with the best people in it.

[@josephmassell9922]

That bridge is fantastic. Can't wait to see it installed & trains running. 😊

[@flyboyu777]

The new layout is really shaping up nicely! Thanks for making the new video, Zach!

[@jamesmelchin2873]

I've always enjoyed your previous layout especially the elevated line. This new design is terrific. More roomy and less congested. Congratulations for stepping up to Atlas track and the creation of a super layout. I believe a salute with Mr.Jack is due...🥃🥃🥃 ! Thanks for thew update Zach.

[@martybrock6772]

Zach, really like the new layout, adding switches between the loops would add a lot of train fun and interest.

[@Gregtrainmaster]

looks great zach dont apologize for anything you do on the layout it only has to make one person happy you

[@cmacrossie]

Very cool use of small space!

[@JohnWalsh-e1j]

It looks great , very impressive.

[@johnpontin9276]

Great video,Zac. Glad your connecting both layouts. Regards, John

[@tomrogers5516]

I've come across this update in reverse order, so my comments on your most recent update were done without having seen this one first. I like the backdrop on the long wall of the industrial scene along the river for this new set up. It really sets it off. The wood panelling finishes look very nice. Funny that the same finish changes tone with each application. Still looks good, though. It'll be interesting to see the new second level track with the bridges installed. Looking forward to that.

[@ganrailroad]

Layout is looking good. I Never glue the road bed down so i can reuse it. Train layouts also sells hinge kits if you have problems with the one you put in.

[@brianbaird3]

I live about an hour away from roundhouse south trains. I love that place

[@curtishoman7867]

Great job Zach. Looking real good. Very impressive!

[@ChrissTrainsandMore]

looks great Zack! thanks for all the information.

[@obvious2886]

Love the bridge! Inspires me to make a similar project one day

[@heatherk7244]

Glad to see you back! ;) Layout looks amazing!!!

[@LousTrains1523]

Looks very well done and polished; the trains certainly enjoy those new tracks. You also still get all the fun of putting in the scenery, I can't wait to see that bridge in operation too!

[@mad_trains12]

Layout is looking great, it was nice to meet you at York!

[@CountryBunkersTrains]

Thank you! You as well!!

[@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards]

Looking awesome. I didn't glue my track foam down either before screwing down the Atlas track.

[@randydobson1863]

Hi Zach & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Zach & Friends Randy

[@charlesmcclure5994]

It's coming along quite nicely Zack, ask for the different colors of the stains on your wood is it all came from the same pine tree that would be consistency in the stain color and since there is no guarantee that all the wood is from the same tree at home Depot that is why you get the different variations of color in your stains it's basically the word not the product

[@hikingmansteve]

Zach, love the new layout (so far). Looking forward to seeing the finished product. SR

[@RABSTRAINS]

I really like your new layout! LOOKING GOOD👍👍 GREAT seeing you back posting!

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Awesome new layout! Looks great!

[@joegennari395]

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! Great video! So impressive!!! Really enjoyed the video!!

[@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies]

Nice video Zach, good progress on the new layout. 👍

[@rodneymckelroy4737]

I like the lantern. Great find!

[@CountryBunkersTrains]

Thanks Rodney!

[@ericwilliams2619]

The layout is looking awesome Mr Zach👍🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️👍🏻

[@jdschini]

Looks great Zach! I really like the way you installed the tracks. Screwed done tight, and then tested everything. Should make for smooth running rail fun. Have a blessed day!

[@RobertFrei-q8k]

Hi zack i like how your layout is coming along that is one great looking bridge you got from york. I always miss that show oh well i do get to octobers show im looking foward to your next update have a great day.

[@2railnation]

That bridge is going to look amazing

[@azslotracer]

Congratulations Zach, the new layout is coming along just great. Nice hint on mounting the hinged for the bridge lifting! Looking forward to seeing what you do next with it.

[@garyruark9506]

Looks good. Most of us are restricted by space so we get the most tracks for multiple train operation as we can.

[@TomzTrainzandAccessories]

Congratulations Zach on your new layout! It’s coming along very nicely. Yes, it’s a work in progress, but it’s fun work, and no need to rush it. Having access in the center of the layout is going to be a game changer, especially when you need to get to a derailed train, or an accessory. I look forward to seeing the progress on your layout develop. Tom

[@kennymcgowan2880]

Hey Country bunker Trains, the new layout is awesome to look at already, a bit of the original mixed in with the new . can't wait to see up and running😊😊😊

[@Cbtrainnut]

Wow, that bridge is tremendous! I think it looks great the color it is! Not sure if I would paint it or weather it. Great pick up and addition for the layout! Super excited for you! Chris @Cbtrainnut

[@ronaldjoyce7374]

Zach, everything is looking great!!! Your lift bridge looks very cool, I love the way it’s sectioned into 3. That truss bridge is really going to look great, can’t wait for more updates. Ron

[@bobfunkytrainman5422]

LIKE THIS BETTER THAN GREEN STUFF UNDER TRACKS LIKE LOT BETTER GOOD JOB

[@DelHudson1]

It was great to see and talk with you at York again. Meeting Tony was an added plus too. I'm glad you showed how to get a lift bridge to work properly with elevated hinges. I currently use a bascule lift bridge to enter my layout, but may upgrade that in order to run husky stacks. Great video as always.

[@bbrockRailFan]

I am so impressed with your work. SO far your upgrade is really awesome and inspiring.

[@leterguyschroeder4919]

Looking great Zach, keep it going

[@dagryffynhobby]

Awesome! Love all of it. The lift bridge is great, I like the look. Thanks for the tip on the hinges, going to save me lots of trouble down the line. The new truss bridge is amazing. I keep saying I’m going to scratch build my 4’ bridge but I don’t know, that’s a beauty, I’ll h e to check out their site. Great update, looking forward to more.

[@CountryBunkersTrains]

Thank you sir! A 4 footer could be a fun project for sure, but these train layout bridges are on a a different level. Would take a good bit of work to replicate. Hope all is well! 🥃🍻

[@dantiel4179]

Wow Zach not 1 or 2 but a 3 track swing up bridge amazing and simple I had a lot of trouble getting it to work on mine so I just did a pinned lift out great work looks good

[@RobertRussell99]

Outstanding work congratulations 🎊 I'm surprised that you didn't go for a lift bridge an I see that you finally blocked the back sildeing door

[@stuarthobbs8028]

Love your ideas .on your new layout. Sounds osum

Great to see again at york good luck on new layout

Great new layout keep up the good work

[@MoparCrazy803]

Looks good man. Im new to the hobby and the channel. I didn't realize how expensive it was to buy decent track and trains. Now I see how some guys are 30-40 yrs invested. Definitely not an overnight success.

[@johntoner6149]

Looks great.

[@chrismockler8593]

I've been following and looking forward to your new track layout plans for awhile. Everything looks absolutely amazing so far and I'm super exited to see all the progress! Awesome job Zach. That lift Bridge looks like it is going to be well worth all that work & headache!

[@CountryBunkersTrains]

Thank you! 🥃🍻

[@TheLEMRR]

That bridge is definitely impressive!

[@chrisricciardi1566]

Doin Good working on my N Scale Room I have plenty work to Do But All N All It’s All Good.

[@huntercoleman460]

Layout’s coming along great Zach.

[@johnandrus3901]

Excellent! The way that the layout is shaping-up is quite nice. I like the loops, as you can add lots of scenery and maybe a small siding on the inner loop in the future. Sometimes, though, it is better not to have switches, to complicate things. Not gluing down the roadbed is smart. If you have to make changes later, you can do it without any hassle. Your new layout build actually is what inspired me to take down my old layout and get my new one started. I mentioned this in a comment on one of your previous layout disassembly videos, when I asked about the size of your layout room. I have the inner main running, so I can stage everything that goes between the mains, like the town and commercial/industrial areas. If the quality of my build is close to yours, I'll be quite satisfied. Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to more videos on the progress on the new layout. As always, a fine video.

[@kklopp01]

Zack, great layout! I was worried about the three track swinging section, but it looks professional! Can't wait to see it in action!

[@michaelgonzalez3924]

Zach really nice job with the swinging bridge. Really cool idea with the cut outs

Awesome to see it coming along!

[@ronmac2816]

Nice layout ! I would add a swing gate at the bottom pass through with a section of plastic lattice work from Lowes. It's flexible and will look like the old time trussel bridge structures and add some foam carved out like rocks on each side of the gate ???

[@ianhill7275]

Wow that's awesome I love it, keep riding them rails my boy

[@jeffbaker2897]

Man Zack, I really like your intentions of your new layout , and love the bridge , can hardly wait to see everything come together! , take care bud.😎👋🚂🚂🚂

[@rabbitstrainroom6327]

Awesome job so far. Love the new bridge ya got.

[@jaystrains27]

The new layout’s looking great Zach!! 😄👍

[@Madonsteamrailways]

You should see the swing bridge in Lowestoft, Suffolk, England!!

[@jaystuckey4920]

Layout is looking good. A little grass on the toasted Bagel(try dyed sawdust on a separate board to experiment to see if you like it),small Xmas trees(after Christmas discount small trees from Michaels ,Hobby Lobby, or Garage Sale}can really look good. Give that beard a spring trimming, you'll feel better and avoid a few minor accidents. When you have the official opening of the new layout be sure and get you a cake from Publix. Put a little train with some track made of icing on it.

[@TomsTrains0718]

Looks great Zach jealous of those curves but man I am drolling over that bridge looking good

[@RobertFrei-q8k]

that new light looks great

[@Cbtrainnut]

Looks great Zach! The difference in color on the wood is the difference in density of the pine boards. Did you sand all the wood before you stained? Also they make a pre stain that is supposed to help . But it looks great anyway. If you don’t point it out no one will notice. Can’t wait to see the finished layout. Keep it up! Thanks for sharing! Chris at Cbtrainnut on KZbin!

[@colinoldham7947]

cracking video Seth. First video I have watched of yours and ave subscribed straight away!!

[@buecomet831]

Now thats a layout

[@bbrockRailFan]

My layout is like your new section. I did the exact same track style. Atlas 3 rail with the same foam road bed. My outer loop is I believe O-96 or maybe one bigger. Its a huge curve

[@CountryBunkersTrains]

Those are some big curves!!

[@DC_TrainGuy]

Looks good glad I found your video. You got another subscriber.

Glad you found us! Thank you!! 🥃🍻

lift up bridge very impressive..

[@johnczyzewski116]

Hello Zac; Lackawanna John, Outstanding platform, color great, how you design the 🚂 platform,living the outside window but l would maybe you put a mirror only the lower part of the glass it just might give you the other side of box car and so on. I like the lifting of the track entry to set and control the 🚂. The other great idea you put on the platform was the super Large Bridge just Outstanding. I use many Lionel 317 four in one line. Well another great Video Zac and see you again in next Videos. Thanks again. Lackawanna John.

[@carlmiles8655]

Good morning SALUTE FRIEND ZACH Nice work enjoy your videos as always I recently bought a LIONCHIEF POLAR EXPRESS SET WITH THE AQUARUIUM CAR FOR UNDER THE XMAS TREE GOD BLESS SALUTE ;-)

Zach, just happened to be watching and forgot my parents were in Daytona until you mentioned Roundhouse South. Told them to stop by and check it out since they were staying just a couple minutes north of it. They did today and "found me something." lolol like how did that hahaha. Tell Tony (if I remembered his name correctly) he can add Indiana folk to the list of visitors!

Jealous you got to go to York. Hopefully I’ll be there in the fall.

[@rennethjarrett4580]

On my larger table 9.5 X 11.5 I have one loop and now an wondering if I want just more loops, or make a set of loop and a over and under connecting those 2 or three more loops as a continuous track. I also have many turn outs for this Gargraves track from my 1986 set up so maybe have them installed as well somehow. So yours in much larger but it has a bit of that same look I might have if I don't have any above level crossovers.

[@BritishRail60062]

I love the work on this. I am new to the channel but I am thinking of trying O gauge in the future. I plan to start with a Heljan Class 60 but I have noticed that some are 2 and 3 rail. Would you know if the 2 rail locomotives would work on 3 rail? Or are there any conversion kits available? I have never done O gauge before, but I am willing to learn. Thank you for the video. Peter.

[@CountryBunkersTrains]

Glad you found us! Thank you for subscribing! As far as I know, the 2 rail engines will not work on 3 rail track (they need DC power I believe). There are some MTH 3 rails engines that will run on 2 rail DC powered track however. The recent kit a lot of people have been using is the Blunami kit, which is geared towards HO/DC powered equipment. But, a lot of folks are installing a bridge rectifier to transform it to AC power for use on 3 rail. It’s a Bluetooth kit that you can run on your phone. Looos interesting, but I’ve yet to try it. Hopefully that’s somewhat helpful… 🥃🍻

[@gstephengoss1]

Impressive, looks great! Did you by chance video the wiring of the lift- up? Especially the part to prevent the locomotive from fall off the table.

[@DeadrailTrains]

I did not glue down my roadbed and have had no problems

A piano style hinge, where the bridge drops down , with a spring lock to hold it in place might be another solution

[@ELWtrains]

Awesome Bud looks great 👍,glad you used plywood,Fread and you done a great job on lift bridge the holes in between tracks look cool ,it gives that bridge look huge turns you put in I just rebuilt my layout got a couple videos of some views check them out🧐 leave a comment, like to know what ya think ,love the shelf's it's great to have space,that new bridge is nice will look great on layout cant wait to see finished Thanks for update 👍Salute 🍺
