[@dalediethorn1481]

U R doing a Great Job… 👍🇺🇸👍

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks!

[@HumancityJunction]

You can use the windows areas for spurs to park some additional cars for operations.

[@NixCrossing]

That’s definitely an idea!

[@mr.shadestrains6033]

Great video Nick. Sounds like you have a great plan in mind for what I am sure will be an awesome layout!!

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Awesome progress video Nick!

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! Will be working on more tonight

[@JDWorkshop-wn9tt]

Looks like a great idea!

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much!

[@davidkoehler136]

Have fun on the rebuild!

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks! 🚂💨

[@therosejewelrailroad489]

I love seeing the roll of toilet paper behind you at the start of this video! LOL

[@NixCrossing]

Haha 😂 that was a present the cat brought me They snuck into the supply pantry and decided to shred.

[@coverdalemineoscalemodelrr7074]

Awesome plan keep taking your time and build a great layout 😎

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much!

[@dagryffynhobby]

Ok that is going to be a really neat space when the layout is done. Large radius turns and maximizing the space. Love it.

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! Hoping to get the track done asap 🚂💨

[@dagryffynhobby]

Track down yet?

[@NixCrossing]

@@dagryffynhobby just 2 tracks 😋

[@petergulotta8183]

Access, access, access! The most important element to a layout. If you have it, it makes the hobby so much more enjoyable.

[@NixCrossing]

Very true! With the extra height it’ll make it extremely easy to film reviews and of course wiring without having to crawl around on the floor lol 🚂💨

[@raysrails2164]

On my old layout at the old house i had a siding to hide or park a train in the crawl space

[@NixCrossing]

That would be so cool!

[@harryhenninglll117]

Hi Nick. when at my old house we had the same problem with the doors on the craw spaces. we actually cut 6 inches of the top of doors. gave just a little more space for buildings on back side of layout.

[@NixCrossing]

Hey! These old houses are gems , but can be frustrating. That’s a great idea , or do a Dutch door.

[@nomadsempirebuilder9461]

Cool!!!

[@danny117hd]

Awesome can't wait to see it. Wood is so expensive.

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! Yes it is , most of it is also imported from Europe- Hardwoods are imported from Canada.

Great intro Nick for the NEW O Scale Layout - Start of Benchwork (Part 1) 👍 Look forward to future developments and updates 👌"Happy Days Building New Railways" 🚂

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! 🚂💨

[@FLRailroaddog]

Great video Nick, gonna look awesome, can’t wait for part 2. 👍

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! 🚂💨

[@dbtech7914]

Great start! You aren't wasting any time building the new layout. You should have a lot of room to run trains. I was going to ask about the $100 pond!

[@NixCrossing]

Gotta try to get atleast one track rolling before Monday 😄🚂💨. I’m definitely building a new pond

[@JamieMakin]

Much as I miss the old layout (both old layouts lol), this is going to be a MUCH better design for that room! Cool to see the early stages of the construction, and good luck with it.

[@NixCrossing]

I miss the first layout more than the last one, but this one should be (potentially) a lot better for the room and accessibility 🚂💨

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on the new layout build will good looks good sow far keep up the good work nix thanks lee

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! Stay safe!

[@Ed-ICE-Berg]

Great progress Nick! It would be nice to see trains running on the new layout for the live stream, but not imperative. Maybe a temporary oval?

[@NixCrossing]

We’ll definitely try to get er done this week 🤞🏻😄. I bought more wood today

[@2mnycats]

Found your channel from Dakmans video (old train farm) . Train collecting is only 1 of my diseases along with vintage fans. Who made the blue box fan in your train room? I'll be following the progress on your train room. Enjoy the hobby.

[@NixCrossing]

Welcome to channel! Thanks so much for stopping by! King of Conrail (Dakman) is a great friend and mentor in the model train community. That fan is actually a 1980s K-Mart fan my dad restored. Has the K mart badge on the top (3 speed) with new cord.
