Steve Austin, Elkhorn Iron & Timber Co RR (On30)

[@stevesherrill8118]

This is a gorgeous Layout. You have done a fine job of putting together realistic scenes that enhance the outstanding structures you have created.

[@rogerhuber3133]

Spectacular just doesn't sum up this beautiful layout. Fine, flowing track and more details than one can imagine. Thanks for letting us see your work.

[@crapphone7744]

So jealous you have the room to run prototype trains on prototype sorts of curves and through amazing scenery that you've created. It looks like a real Short line there are tracks everywhere because there isn't enough space to separate things properly. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this.

[@ohpoleez]

I've seen so many layouts both in person and on KZbin, that I'm rarely surprised. Impressed? Almost always. But rarely surprised. LOL.... color me equally surprised and Impressed on this one. This layout is a gem. A pure joy to look at. I could set up a lawn chair somewhere and just watch this layout all day. Excellent work sir!!

[@LeoStarrenburg]

This is no On30 layout, this is an On30 world 👍! One amazing job. Thank you for the video !

[@geneswiech4381]

Wow !!! Amazing detail… nice job.

[@ohpoleez]

If there was such a thing as an instant mmr for an individual based solely on his/her layout I can't imagine a more deserving candidate than Steve here if he isn't already one.

[@coffbear7]

Impressive Mr.Steve. Your sense of humor about scratch building with coffee sticks is appreciated. Found the same kinda buget savers at a local Hobby Lobby. Lots O' scenary varariation going on there. I like the Boat/Water areas very much. I like how you represent logging mallets. I'm in the roster aquisition and planning stage. Still negotiating with management here for layout space. On30 logging is what I'm wanting to do. Modeled HOn3 in my Navy days, aquired much Sn3, decided to go On30. 🤣 Would be nice to pick your brain about the do's and don'ts sometime. Thanks for posting your video. Mike C. _ TX.

[@oglemansviews675]

The details in all of these scenes is just really superb. Remarkable layout and video. Thanks.

[@ProfessorTrain743]

Beautiful layout. The harbor is a real piece of art, as is the lumber mill.

[@theangelsmodellingandrailways]

What a stunning looking layout, the details are phenomenal, very inspirational modelling skills. Thanks for sharing.

@Douglas Dorian instablaster ;)

[@douglasdorian770]

@Jayce Jadiel I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@douglasdorian770]

[@jaycejadiel7722]

@Douglas Dorian No problem =)

[@jasonloveless665]

Hey Steve that's great Awsome looking Train lay out it's pretty Awesome

[@scottwoods9141]

That's amazing workmanship Steve.

[@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877]

Wounderfull layout. Enjoyed the ride on, great views from the window...

[@JusTrains1]

One of the best model scenery layouts in On30 and for that matter, aside from a handful of HO premium layouts, anywhere else that I have come across. Worthy of the best Master Modeler for sure! Thank you for sharing a personalized tour of your dream ♥

[@craig4867]

Magnificent work of art!

[@lizzie8561]

Hopefully I can once again see this layout in person during the 2021 Pilgrimage. Thanks!

[@Cryptonymicus]

2:46 Something I never noticed on any other layout: a mailbox in front of a house. Awesome!

[@dwightbernheimer331]

Absolutely wonderfully done. Years ago came very close to choosing On30. Was in the train store one day and noticed S scale right beside the On30. To me it looked like someone had made the S scale to run on HO track... So now I'm going to go with the S scale. I'm almost 80, grew up with American Flyer, so it just makes sense. To me anyway... Once again, congratulations on the superb job. It's definitely museum quality... Thanks for posting

[@danorley5575]

Beautiful layout, truly enjoyed the video.

[@richardparrott7192]

Beautiful in every detail! One of the best I have seen. Love the creek area!

[@adriengadson3544]

Hello Steve very nice layout. I belive I bought your N scale L&N locomotives and rolling stock back in the 90's. Anyway glad to see your still in it same as I am. Hopefully next year people here in GA can go out and visit layouts again.

[@jwrailve3615]

Another layout that’s proof narrow gauge guys are just always on such another level when it comes to detail. I’ve got a coastal Texas layout set in the early 1900’s so I enjoy those harbor scenes. I have three bay wharfs, and one will have a boat or two in the scene itself.

[@andyambrose2921]

Lovely. Thank you for sharing.

[@easternwoods4378]

The level of detail is just stunning

[@doncoker9011]

Great stuff, Steve, as always! Thanks for sharing!

[@hansvanderheijden153]

Dit is een schitterende baan. Zeer gedetailleerd en ontzettend mooi gemaakt. Grote Vakmanschap!!!

[@ClinchValleySD40]

Outstanding. A real inspiration for me.

[@brianmoretti6480]

How did you make your trees ?? I’m trying to remember what the trucks are I’m guessing mustard branches then you spray the tops and add flocking

[@brianroberts6751]

Fantastic railroad!!

[@chrishedrick6433]

Awesome layout, love everything about it the history of it down to all the details and realism put into it. Youve done a amazing job and you brought it to life

[@heabow]

Steve, Thank you for the tour of your layout - very interesting how you have been able to combine and compress so much detail and variety into every scene. Well done. I would like to feature your layout in a future issue of the NMRA British Region Roundhouse magazine, please contact me.

[@Lakeside1943]

Museum quality layout !

[@Rhambama]

What are the two-bay hoppers behind the diesel? Are those S Gauge?

[@garthpaul6216]

Hi all - I'm from New Zealand. Currently collecting bit's for a 0n30 build. 0n30 stuff really hard to come by down here, but do have someone ... in my town, that I'll be buying 2 loco's a rolling stock off. My question (new 0n30 - have done N and HO over 30 years ago), are 0 scale buildings passable? as I can get these, or will I have to re-scale them?

[@amraceway]

O scale buildigs are fine. Youy can widen HO wagons as an economical and fun way to add rolling stock at very little cost.

[@atlantaman]

Ver nice layout.

[@wulfbytez136]

what DCC Sound id you use for the Mallets?

[@gunner6164]

Very nice! Where do you find rolling stock for on30?

[@sea1109]

I've been in On30 40 years. I know where to look. Many are Bachmamn On30, some are Banta, Stoney Creek Designs,

[@380130]

Brilliant layout, my only issue for a narrow gauge layout is that your track is too pristine and neat. Every sleeper is visible where on a real railroad it wouldn't be so neat and there would be ballast covering the sleepers. Also very scarce evidence of any weeds growing, maybe the track crew get them out before they grow

[@mes_enterprises2996]

Great job Steve. The cowcatcher ride video was shot using a Mobius camera mounted on a flat car. The full length cowcatcher video is available at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZTMo2uNaKyMqqM

[@rage6433]

wow

[@Tom.Gregory]

Kewl...
