Very cool stuff. Love the DOD cars. Cool scrap piles and graffiti. I will be at Amherst both days. Headed over to mini prints sat at 10. Getting a mini me done. Lol.

[@modeltrains_365]

That’s awesome! I thought about getting the scan, but I didn’t sign up for it 😢. Maybe next time!

[@pja-ok4714]

Cool idea for background, and the detail really stands out with the pastels. It must be a bit tough being an attention to detail guy with such a large layout, but then again you will have fun for years just building it. I am also jealous of its size, I have a 12' x 13' room, that's it. I'll do my best though...thanks for the inspiration!

Just found your FB page and KZbin channel! Subscribed and followed both! I am a UP model railroader as well. Been modeling over 30 years and I am on my 4th layout now in progress. My youngest nephew is a Marine and he just recently deployed to Japan after being in Pendleton for a year. He is in his 3rd year. Anyways I really enjoy your progress and videos! i look forward to see more!

[@modeltrains_365]

Thanks for the support. We spent 3.5 amazing years in Japan! Hopefully he enjoys it as well.

You should start! Just give it plenty of thought and be willing to make compromises :(

[@AbelG8781]
