Steven... I'm so amazed with your hobby talents. This is why I look forward to your videos. Have you ever considered selling any of your completed projects ? Thanks 👍

[@stevendouglas6594]

No, I never have---I have had a few ask me if I'd convert an 0 gauge motor to std for them, but I'm just not wanting to start that---and like I told them--I'm 74, so if I'm doing for them, I'm not doing for me.

[@jimmelchin1531]

@stevendouglas6594 I hear ya... I'm 74 also and an O gauge man. All conventional. I just think your work is "cool" ! 😀

[@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards]

Looking awesome, can't wait until we see the finished product. They're calling for several inches of snow here in the VA/MD/DC area, if so I'll be XC skiing. 😉

[@stevendouglas6594]

Maybe ten inches here with wind----highs next week in the 20's ----winter is back.

Love your work! Looks great. I prefer the industrial stuff too. I'm totally new to the hobby and found your channel. I prefer the Gauge one stuff but I must say the standard gauge stuff is really wonderful. I also wanted to say thank you for your videos on the five-rail track. I made some prototypes based up yours and I'll be able to run my One Gauge trains on it and be fully prepared for my hopeful expansion to Standard gauge.

[@stevendouglas6594]

Remember---you can't double gauge std and 1 gauge in 5 rail track--what would be the outside rails on the 1 gauge will be much to close to the std gauge rail, but moving the rails in on the std gauge gives you nice 1 gauge track.

[@3.75deepdive6]

@@stevendouglas6594 OK thanks for the advice. I've been prototyping just a small straight piece based on your video, to see if it will work out. Being cautious with the budget and with the technique.

This is the hobby for cold, nasty weather for sure. As long as the power doesn't go out. Stay safe.

[@stevendouglas6594]

I've got a 20 KW generator just in case . LOL

[@PopPopsTrainRoom]

great video. Stay safe

[@keithwood638]

Very nice layout. I am new to standard gauge. Do all standard gauge cars couple together. Example does 200 series couple to 500 series cars?

[@stevendouglas6594]

The 200 sits higher that the 500---bigger wheels--same coupler---but you can make them work--so--the answer is yes ---most--- of the time.
