Thanks Dave, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. What a fun way to play trains and share with your friends.

[@snchilders]

I love the PSP detail between the tracks and as a bulkhead along the shore on the Typhoon Lagoon. The Wandering Spruce is awesome because I like the elevation change. All the others, including Thunder Mesa, the trains remain on one level.

I am sorry I missed you live but thank you for posting it on You Tube. I am In awe of all the wonderful modeling and the creativity exhibited. It is an awesome meet, I wish I could be there in person. But with your video and narrative I feel like I was. Thank you for sharing the meet with us.

The wine one reminded me of the I Love Lucy grape stomping/wine making episode 😂

Wow just incredible work by all

I like the barn board trim. If people don't like listening to you, they can always turn off the sound while we get the benefit of your description.

I take it you got home safely?

[@ROSS2629]

You have done Gruesome Gulch and now Bandit Canyon. What are you planning on doing for next year?

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Stay tuned...

[@paulditzen2708]

You mentioned somewhere in this video that in one of the layouts all of the figurines (little people) were hand sculpted. At least I think that's what I heard. If I'm correct in that it would be really interesting for you to get together with him and have him show us his process. it would be something new and different for the channel.

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

The hand sculpted figures are by Gary Beatty and he has a channel right here on KZbin: www.youtube.com/@puertoborrachorailway7317

[@paulditzen2708]

@@ThunderMesaStudio A discussion with you would be more interesting

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

@@paulditzen2708 If Gary comes out to the Studio we can make that happen

[@TWNTY-es8lu]

holy crap..did you raid the tequilla tank car??

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Later

[@goodtobehandy]

Has anyone thought about building their layout in a way ,that when you have a get together they can be connected?

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

That's called a modular club and there are plenty of those. We like doing stuff that's a little different.

Whats is the shapeways link for those Mcakeen railcars

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

They are not from shapeways, they are from Mike Miller. You can catch him in the On30 Group on Facebook.
