Wow, such a spectacular, superb and realistic layout!! Splendid video, a pleasure to watch!

[@classicmodeltrains]

your video's are put together very well. Thank you for your efforts

[@michaelpfister1283]

Great video. I am extremely grateful for the tips and tricks on building the asphalt roads and the sidewalks, but I am also intrigued and grateful for the insights into planning and building placement you give. Its easy to think that you need to have everything nailed down in the plan before you start building anything, but seeing how you tested and adjusted on the layout with the buildings is both helpful and inspiring. Thank you!

[@domagojkuzic1647]

Asphalt is so realistic!

Being an east Bay Arean my whole life, this scene is so familiar and fun .

8:18 I actually use sifted dirt. It’s free and looks 10x better. Another tree idea I use is dried golden rod. Also again free and all around me. I spray clear coat all over the plant then I rub it in ground foam. They make perfect Lombardi popular trees.

[@frankkie3849]

[@haraldhinnerwisch529]

[@regisbrooks8064]

Nice job on your modeling God blessed your family n roads and sidewalk n flat cars by tyco

[@michaelmohrmann]

Very interesting. I'm sure the same principles could be applied to other scales as well, such as N scale.

[@chicagolandrailroader]

Thank you very much!

[@partlycloudy5322]

Great ideas another alternative for senery is geodesic foam by bragdon enterprises, keep up the good ideas...

[@leftylou6070]

That's a right smart lookin' layout you have there. Takes lots of patience don't it?

[@IwshIcldstrtover]

Wow! What an AWESOME, AWESOME Layout! These are the most realistic streets and sidewalks I've ever seen! Where did you get 24x28 Styrene sheets at only $7.00 from? Are these Styrene plastic sheets, or plain stryrene?

[@eisenschweinchen5354]

Great!

Prior to 1954, stop signs were yellow with black lettering.

[@michaelleonard8060]

Well I did notice that you have a window A/C unit I might be wrong but I don't think they had those yet ?

[@kevinpurcell2093]

What year did the parking lot strips change from white to yellow?

[@wolfgang2007aaaaaaaa]

Is the art illustration board cardboard or foam? I'm having a hard time finding the right one as there are many different versions and most are not suitable for the job

[@charlessmileyvideos]

It's laminated in layers of very high quality "cardstock". Foam board is crap.

[@jamesstuart3346]

Road surface would look more realistic with cracks, potholes and patches

[@Benjamin-p3x]

So much skill So much love

[@whew5]

Back then a bag of groceries only cost $20 and would last for a couple of weeks.

[@donovanbryan5000]

Its all great. But not everyone is an artist with painting skills. 90% of everyone out there like me will F it all up
