You'll want to make sure folks are using a coaster on the layout.... 👍

Jason enjoyed this video great progress was made THATS TRAINZ WITH A Z AND A W TWAINZ HEE HEE HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY I would say that the track weathering and ballasting process will be quite tedious so take your time AS ALWAYS GOD BLESS HUGS FOR SHELLY take care Jason ;-)

The ice cream shop on the first floor of the weathered building you received is a real company, and it's called Isaly's. Isaly's stores were located in Ohio, West Virginia and the western Pennsylvania area, with the last few stories located in the Pittsburgh area. Not too many people know but, Isaly's invented the Klondike Bar.

[@coverdalemineoscalemodelrr7074]

Pittsburgh 👍

I have to get some of those atlas boxcars in Milwaukee road. Yours looks amazing. I’m a big Milwaukee road guy.

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

It's a shame Weaver still is not in business. I run and collect orange trains Cadets what flavor color and so naturally I have a whole box Weaver Milwaukee Road boxcars American-made cars of course. I know Weaver had to retire but damn he made some great stuff. Ilovetorun modern stuff American made. From the locomotive to the Caboose. Weaver would make cars and price them cheaper than Lionel or Mike's train house and they make their in China.

[@sirbarongaming2138]

I love the size of the layout, perfect for running long trains.

[@JDStucks]

That will be the subject of an upcoming video. "Long Trains"

[@rescue1railfan904]

I think with that bridge you painted you should leave it black and add Norfolk & Western or Nickel Plate Road. Then maybe add some rust? Idk but that would look/be nice

[@leterguyschroeder4919]

Really liked update 12. What a great layout it is becoming.

Jason the cool thing on the wall was an et44 or it was numbered like one but really awesome

[@JDStucks]

You're correct. But close enough LOL

[@drgwnut]

I would keep the girder bridge flat black and add an NS logo. Lots of updates for sure. I wish those hi-rail vehicles were powered. Yup. Ballast really needs to be quite dark. When you look at it, track is kinda dark green/brown mix. Great update!

[@JDStucks]

Exactly! Definitely darker

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

Great video Jason! Love all the new additions! I really liked your ballast experiments. When you showed off the new shelf I saw red Berwick boxcar, can you tell me what railroad it is? It kinda looked like katy. You're an inspiration to all of us! Thanks for sharing! ~Ricky from Texas.

Nice progress. Always enjoy seeing your vids. Love your "scenery" tree, nice addition LOL more than I have after packing my trains, tearing down my layout and moving to my childhood home. Less basement room for my new layout, planning and unpacking and selling some trains is very traumatic. I'll get there though. You do things right, that takes time.

[@JDStucks]

Thanks Joe! Good luck with your move. I hope it gets easier and you can enjoy running trains soon.

[@Brianrockrailfan]

Awesome 🚂👍🚄

[@henryszubielski8601]

Nice work! Can't wait to see your progress on the mountain. Thanks for sharing your video.

[@chrislambert5249]

Looks like everything is coming out great on the layout. Could you shoot some video of the mountain build as you go along.

[@charlesmcclure5994]

Well it looks like you got a lot of work, I know working on the layout is kind of hard especially with work and other obligations but I'm sure you'll get there when you get the time good luck and we'll see what you accomplished and update 13 no wait let's just go to 14 13 a bad number 👍👍

[@JDStucks]

Maybe 13 will be a short one lol

[@johnandrus3901]

Great video. Nice progress on the track and signaling system. Very realistic. The signal going into the yard would only have a red and yellow for the bottom aspect, unless there was another CP at the next signal. There would be a plate covering where the green would be or it would just be a two aspect head. I would leave that ballast the color that it is. Very prototypical. Maybe add a dark streak down the center here and there where something may have leaked out. Either way, a gorgeous layout.

[@AGSRailfan]

The first and the forth engine are acting like GEs Lol at 19:09 and Amazing layout

[@jbatman5092]

Terrific update, Jason 👍 The rust on the rails looks great. For me, the rest of the scenery is optional--don't block your view of the trains 😄 I appreciate that you nearly always include an awesome display of steam motive power. Thank you!

[@JDStucks]

I really tried to increase the steam presence in this one ;)

[@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars]

Looks good great update

[@TouchoftheBrushModelWeathering]

Awesome progress Jason! The weathering is looking great. For your Girder Bridge, use guoche paints of burnt and raw sienna to give it a rust look. It give it more character and make your trains pop.

[@JDStucks]

Good idea!

Great stuff man. Fantastic layout.Big NS fan. I live in western Canada,don’t see much US locomotives. Just rolling stock.

[@timothymclaughlin6860]

I love how your disciplined to your favorite railroad Norfolk & Southern . My favorite layout is Montana Rail Link . So that’s what I have modeled . With a caviaot. I modeled my rendition of MRL . Unapologetically! Technically what I modeled is a bit north of MRL . The BNSF Glacier Route . I think it what looks cool with dramatic Rocky Mountain peaks with gorges and forested mountains . Thought about building a U-Tube Channel myself but … 🤔 I don’t want to be evaluated on my work . Thoroughly enjoy your Chanel and your doing a fantastic job. Very enjoyable to watch so thank you .

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

We did not have cut out sections in the old days. Your train table was built to be walked on, because derailments always happened at the back of the layout at the farthest point. Model trains or toy trains for always a great father son activity. If your dad was a train nut you probably were too. Train nuts are born not made. That's why we stick out and that's why regular people cannot understand us for anyting. Is like trying to explain the pleasures of riding a motorcycle to someone who just drives a car. They just don't get it.

[@JDStucks]

My Dad got me into trains before I could even walk. I don't think he ever loved them as much as me though Hah!

[@tomrogers5516]

Great to see you again, Jason! Lots of things going on in Detroit lately. Glad to see you've started on placing a town scene on the layout. Looking toward the track weathering sequence...that'll be something. Wow! Awesome gifts!! The Atlas rolling stock cars are splendid in detail, as are the rest. So many avenues to pursue in the near future. Hopefully, you'll have the time to start on some of them.

[@JDStucks]

Thanks so much Tom! Track weathering is underway!

[@randyluginbuhl9085]

Love the review! Really interesting coverage of the signaling which seems intimidating to me but something I plan to tackle at some point. I really love Stoddart’s pieces and have several in my train room.

[@trainwild]

Nice video Jason, your layout looks like it's really coming together nicely. Keep up the good work!👍

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

Trainland in Brooklyn had a great sale on Williams locomotives for $100 each. Cab units were going for $200 but you got a freebie unit with. I am so glad I stocked up on all the engines that I wanted because now all of those hundred-dollar locomotives are cheaper than most of today's freight cars from Lionel or any of the other manufacturers. Just like when I was in HO scale I wish I had enough layout to run them all.

[@RetroMikado]

Love this Jason! The layout is looking amazing, the red conrail caboose is awesome, everything is coming along so nicely! Great video, it's always a pleasure to see your updates 👍

Thanks so much!

[@GoldStandardTrains]

Great update video. Its a large amount of work that goes into planning then building a layout of this size(and tweaking it again and again). Its good to see the process and time expectation people need to take into account if they want to take on a project like this. I am just trying to get my basement ready to start a layout and that is taking a good amount of work and $$$. Takes a lot of dedication to a hobby to get to where you have gotten too. Great work and looking forward to seeing more.

Nice layout update, great gifts from family and friends, really like the signals, attractive weathering on the track and lets not forget you have finally started landscaping. It was fun to watch and thanks for all the hard work that goes into these videos. Your fans like myself really appreciate it! Even in as far away as So Cal.

GREAT STUFF!!! Your layout and space are amazing…definitely NEXT LEVEL. I love scenery but I never thought to ask you when you were going to start on scenery. Your process for designing and building is text book! Takes a lot of discipline to stay as focused as you are.

Thank you! I'm trying not to rush and do things correctly the first time.

[@ScottiesTrains]

Hi Jason. Your layout looks good. You may not remember me, plus you and Chris have so many followers now. Anyway, I am slowly getting back into the train room. Ken and Richard ( K&R Custom) have built me some outstanding signals. I will be meeting them at legacy next week. Keep up the great work!

Jason, man thhs is a beautiful layout...

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

If you notice in every caboose the brakeman conductor is sitting on the wrong side of the caboose because in China they run left-hand style likes the British. Their signals are on the left hand side that's why the guy is sitting there. Right for them wrong for us. It would be such an easy thing for them to correct but then they would have to know which ones are going to America etc and it's like they could just put them all on the right hand side.

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

My dad's Lionel layout stretch the length of the basement of the house in New York. He would have five powered locomotive pulling a 100 car train. I don't know how he wired it up but it was something to see. My mom after the divorce made him take it down because she did not want me to have a relationship with my father. I ran a locomotive off the edge of the table and broke the pilot off at the 40 years I never owned up to it. It was in a small box of trains leftover that my brother gave me and I took it to a guy who fixes train and I thought he was going to use it for parts but she just greased it up and it runs good as new. Since the pilot is broken off I might put a coupler there so I could double headed train if I want to. With modern trains your basement is not fill up with the smell of ozone like the old Lionel's did. My dad also had the Bosco milk car accessory because I love Bosco how to make chocolate milk with. I wish I had that I would put that on my layout. Just out of sentimental reasons.
