The Big O-Gauge Train Layout Tour

[@Dadified86]

My son is elated to see "Our Friend Chris" back on the big screen. Thanks for making our morning! Now we've gotta run our trains!

[@RBPTrains]

Had to make a video after we were texting, lol

[@katherinemorey6517]

​@@RBPTrainsI'm so excited that you're making videos again!! Cory Mears

[@douggarrett8353]

Nice! I really like how you have incorporated your life into the layout; the farm, the grain elevator, and naming places after your daughters. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertlinville6997]

You have a fantastic layout. I love how you incorporate so many things about your family. Just a great overview.

[@dathanpoole73]

Love the overview. I don't think I've ever seen the areas broken down like that before. Thank you for sharing.

[@RBPTrains]

Thanks for watching!

[@Signal_Box_Studios]

@@RBPTrains When are you doing an another “Running your Model Trains”video? I’m excited for the next one!

[@henrygeorgeoertel8092]

He is alive....Man it is good to see you😃

[@Boilermaker86765]

Definitely the best o gauge train layout on KZbin for me

[@byronpeterson795]

Love the eclectic touches on your layout. Thanks for showing how fun trains can and should be.

[@andrewedmunds4583]

That "Hi..." at the start of the video, honestly relatable man. Good to see you again!

[@leterguyschroeder4919]

Glad you are back, like all your video's, keep em coming.

[@markhouck1671]

Thanks for sharing, Chris .. always great fun and memories

[@devinholmes5246]

Welcome back, Chris!! I really love your videos. When you mentioned that a layout is never finished, that is 100% true. I'm don't even done with my layout either. I'm always changed things on my layout. Can't wait to more of those train videos!!

[@RBPTrains]

Always another project on the layout. :) Thanks for watching!

[@thomasking4136]

Grand parents walnut used for bridge is a fine tribute. Well done Katy boy!

[@jd8690]

Love the channel, love the layout, thank you for sharing the history of the layout!

[@aidensypolt]

Welcome back, RBP trains.

[@pault5775]

Great layout with family inspired buildings plus post war trains😊😊😊

[@davidkoehler136]

I have always loved watching your layout here on You Tube, and it never gets old!

[@Robertmitchell2121]

0:23 it’s awesome you have the 844 in your collection

[@christsogaugetrains]

Ah being young and being able to crawl under the bridge. I’m rethinking my decision at my age. Not an easy task anymore. Next up Chris,s hair styles over the last couple of years lol

[@AidenFitzgerald-xg5lt]

Yo I did the same thing when I was younger

[@JIppo-ns5zu]

my pops uses a 2 rail Kline Hellgate bridge on a hinged piece of wood. you just pick it up, walk inside, and drop in down behind you.

[@russrockino-rr0864]

I love my Atlas Track, but you are right Chris, it is expensive. When I tell people it is about a dollar an inch, their jaws drop! That obviously does not include the Turnouts and other special track. Good to see you back. Great Video, thanks for Sharing!

[@RonnyTheEngineer]

Hi RBP TRAINS, I am a huge fan of yours. I love watching all of your videos.

[@RonnyTheEngineer]

I recently started a KZbin channel early of this year. I made my first Lionel video about how to get a heavyweight Pullman passenger car to run from 042 curve to 027 curve tracks. The results of that, was absolutely fantastic.

[@RBPTrains]

Thanks for watching! I will check out your vids!

[@RonnyTheEngineer]

@@RBPTrains thank you. The name of my channel is called RonnyTheEngineer.

[@RonnyTheEngineer]

And you are very welcome.

[@luzmalara5584]

Yes! RBP trains, it's great to see you. Your layout is good! Enjoy it! Model railroading is different for everyone! I remember my Dad making two extremely strong layout tables from lumber, oddly enough from discarded wood from boxcars on a railroad siding we'd visit. This was the late 60's early 70's. After He did the hard work, I just had to lay the track and run my HO trains. Occasionally He'd sit on the steps leading out of the basement and take in the proceedings of me operating the layout, but He never said a word, just wanted me to enjoy myself. Never said anything about improving, etc... In fact, once my brother suggested some improvement and I was telling my Dad about it and Dad said you don't have to do that, what you have is fine. Miss Dad, a lot! My brother? At the time, a private pilot teaching lessons, now a retired BNSF locomotive engineer! Life is good, so enjoy it. Again, like I said, it's Great to see you! You're partially one of the reasons I've begun submitting my own model train videos to KZbin! One of my recent posts just got 200+ views. Oh, I realize that's nothing in the Great World of KZbin videos, but I'm just happy to have shared my model and hobbies with others. Kinda special. Hope you'll be around for a while and keep up the good work!!! Sincerely, Nathan in Chicago 🇺🇲

[@RBPTrains]

Great story and thanks for sharing Nathan! Special memories. And congrats on the views, it keep growing if you continue to post! :)

[@Pr592mokey]

Thanks and hope all is well!

[@buecomet831]

We out here cookin with this one!

[@105C09]

Thanks so much for all your videos. I hope to see you at York next spring. I have MS and this summer saw a three month relpae and it was no party. My trains and these videos kept my spirits up. God richly bless you, your family and others that have done the same thing.

[@RBPTrains]

I am so sorry to hear about the relapse. It is such a terrible disease. I am glad that these videos were able to help in some way. I hope for nothing but the best for you and I will look for ya at the Spring show as long as I can make it

[@Chessiefan2101]

Welcome back.ive missed seeing you. Glad you are still in the hobby ☺️

[@zachwheeler9846]

Layout is looking good Chris! Nice to see a new video from you. I like that angle from the bridge too, very interesting perspective! I love how you included walnut planks in. Very creative, and a nice ode to your Gpa! Great video Chris!

Good morning, Chris! It was great to open up KZbin this morning and to see you in the Train Room and that you had created a video. And a wonderful video at that. Your tour of the layout was sensational, and I loved it. Thank you for sharing it with us! Bill B.

[@RBPTrains]

Morning Bill! Got to catch up with you soon friend :)

[@ozarkmidlandsouthernrailway]

@@RBPTrains Well, you are a busy guy, and it seems so am I, as hard as it may seem to believe. I am retired and I sometimes just don't know where the time goes. Very strange. But with that said, just say when and we can chat. I'd love that! Bill

[@mad_trains12]

Glad to see you back! Love how you incorporated all the items from your family into your layout!

[@jub856]

I can’t wait to see what’s next Chris.

[@misthunter210]

So glad you’re back! Been in and out of the hobby through my life with N and HO scale. Wanted to always have an O gauge presence and your channel finally pushed me over the edge. Hopefully you keep updating.

[@RBPTrains]

Excellent and enjoy the build!

[@TwistedMacGyversTrains]

I really enjoyed your layout overview Chris! Love those bridges! 👍

[@curtishoman7867]

Great overview! Hope to see ya at York again.

[@brlngtn]

Thank you for sharing this. Awesome layout!!!

[@RBPTrains]

Thanks for watching @brlngtn!

[@timdoehler3043]

I get lying under the bridge... almost makes you feel like you are under a real train looking up from a river or a canyon. Love the layout and love your enthusiasm!!

[@jacobrobinson6603]

It's nice to have another video as always Chris. I recently had purchased an MTH Richmond Frederick & Potomac 4-6-4 Hudson and it runs like a beauty. I highly recommend buying it.

[@RBPTrains]

Hmmm..a Hudson you say? I will have to check it out :)

[@Ash_95]

Glad to see you back and my 7yo and 4yo were very happy as well. You've inspired us to get into the hobby. Thanks for making me spend $$$. 😂

[@RBPTrains]

Haha! This hobby is terrible for the $$$

[@dillontrainvids25]

[@marcsoscaletrains]

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I really enjoy your layout, and I especially enjoy your approach to the O scale hobby. We're fortunate to have you as a content uploader and I always look forward to your videos.

[@RBPTrains]

Thank you for the support!

[@eccotheorca7745]

RBP showing up with a new video looking dapper as always.

[@TydeRuch44]

RBP IS BACK!!!

[@kc9804]

Absolutely love your layout! I'm currently building an American Flyer "S" Gauge layout with my grandfather, who started the hobby for me when he gave me his old engine. I'm trying to make our layout look fairly realistic, your layout is a great example of what I'm aiming to achieve. Kudos to you! Great video.

[@kc9804]

Also RBP, the big rock wall you have stretching underneath your LEGO town, is that painted Styrofoam? If not, what did you use? I have a similar style higher track I'm attempting to make a wall for it to sit on, very similar to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@RobertRussell99]

I'm a huge fan of your work i just don't skip through it immediately after i watch the video i start thinking of was to improve my 5 layouts

[@RBPTrains]

Thank you Robert! 5 layouts? I am sure you are busy!

Welcome back. Love this layout. 🚂🚂🚂

[@ArtsModelTrains]

Great video, I love the view from under the bridge, that is really cool. As someone who has followed you almost from the beginning, I remember the early red eyed Chris working on ballast late night, this is a great recap that shows how you have expanded your layout but still stayed true to your fun / nostalgic side, leaving key elements of your layout intact.

[@RBPTrains]

Thanks Art! I remember those late nights of layout projects 🤣

[@MrSTOUT73]

Best train setup money can buy.

[@Bobby-ex2mg]

I miss your old intro I loved listening of to the music and watching the trains pass by which i personally can here now whenever I see a train anywhere now

[@dwaynebublitz786]

Great to see you back! Your one of the best ! No right or wrong when it comes to your layout. I run o-gauge, standard gauge and g gauge on my layout and it works for me. Your layout is fantastic. Enjoy and have fun!

That was a York to remember! Hope all is well James
