I really appreciate you doing all that work on camera, and your explanations as to why you do things a specific way; including the brands of things you are using, because I learned a lot.

[@HartfordWhaler]

I really appreciate that! Very very kind of you. I will continue to provide content that I hope you find useful. Thank you so much!

[@What_If_We_Tried]

@@HartfordWhaler You're most welcome.

My friend, spray that down with water and dish soap, and let it soak for an hour, maybe even twice. It will come up a lot easier, even the nails. It looks great.

[@HartfordWhaler]

Good call. A tip for the next time I change tracks and also a great tip for other viewers. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

You've inspired me to get out of the armchair and start back my railroad.

[@HartfordWhaler]

That means a lot. If it makes you get back into the hobby that makes my day!!

[@justn2trains]

Very cool! It turned out great. Along with showcasing two loco’s, you could even work one of those tracks with operations. Maybe for MOW or tankers or flat cars with parts for loco repairs. Btw, I like your idea with putting the turnout out upside down to ensure the flow of the track. 👍

[@HartfordWhaler]

Thanks! Agree it could add ops for fuel and MOW cars/vehicles. Thanks for watching and for the comments!

Nice work getting that switch and track in without issues 👍🏽

[@HartfordWhaler]

Thanks! I’m learning to take my time as I get older. Make fewer mistakes. Wish I’d done that when I was younger.

[@OldcampRanch]

Nice work and interesting progress thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@HartfordWhaler]

Thank you @OldcampRanch and thanks for watching!

I don't think that there's nothing quite so satisfying as the first run on a newly laid piece of track. 😀

[@HartfordWhaler]

Agree…especially when it works!

[@ronaldrondeau7870]
