What Make This Layout Great? - Merkiomen Branch

[@robertmountenay295]

Thanks so much, Nick! The Merk was a blast to build and was heart breaking to scrap when I retired in July of 2020. Even though you didn’t have a chance to see it in person, you’ve captured both the concept and the look of my 3D version. Thanks so much for memorializing anole friend so beautifully!

[@NickOzorak]

You clearly put a lot of time, effort, and planning into the Merk. It's worth celebrating such a good layout.

[@geoffreylittlefield2215]

I loved seeing photos of your layout Robert, wish I could've seen it in person.

[@chrisjessee9789]

It would be great to see other layouts done in this format

[@zacharyspires2706]

This is the series we always needed but we didn't know it until right now

[@TheBen0913]

In the intro, I saw a particular road name which makes me quite excited for this series. If I'm right, it's a layout from a model railroad club whose open houses I visited a lot when I was a kid.

[@rschambers9082]

Really nicely done! Lots of work on your part. One of the best that I’ve ever seen.

[@davidwhiting1761]

This is a new direction, but I like it. It'll be neat to see what other layouts you might decide to model in Trainz down the line.

[@AlexHoffnerTheHoff]

I really like this series here. Hope to see more!

[@Trainman3985]

Great start a new series that has a lot of potential in of itself. Great job Nick keep up the great work.

[@Trainman401]

[@DonWilde1956]

A great start... keep improving it and don't be afraid to update your YouTUBE link as you do!

[@LukeLovesTrains-Mr.RailYard]

Nick, yes I would like to more of this What Make This layout Great. Great video as always LJL.

[@adirondackcarfoundry368]

I'm blown away by this. I wish you would take my 4x8 plan and give it this sort of treatment!

[@ClassicIron45]

I loved this! I think it could make for a great series

[@orazl.2676]

Awesome Video, would love to see the Red Wing layout. Another 4x8 but i think it offers everything.

[@RefillerName]

Where did you get the B&LE SD38 at 0:51 / 0:53 ?

[@ryguygaming06]

[@SheltonDCruz]

Thanks for this Nick!

[@Kermondale]

Looks great

[@fredpryde8555]

i got trainz 19 and trying to come up with a idea to build a layout is hard

[@RWSBaden]

Hi Nick, Very interesting video and question. Having grown up watching both the Economy and the Bridgeville & McDonald Branches of the Penn Central railroad, I too have been fascinated by branch line railroads that seem to sneak down alley ways in small towns and through the back yards of suburban America. Being a very space deprived modeler, my passion is layouts that fit in small spaces. When I first saw Robert's layout featured in a MB Klein video, I thought it's a perfect example of a small layout built for folks who do not have room for a large layout, but want a layout that has the ambiance of a much larger layout. Another layout that I feel has also captured this ambiance is, Steve Campbell's Penn Central Hitop Secondary which is based on the Model Railroader Virginian project railroad. Also Nick if you'd like to see what I've been up to for the past decade, pop on over to my channel. I've uploaded several videos of my layout, none with the video quality of your videos, but I think you'll get a good idea of what the 24" x 80" N scale Long Valley Branch is all about. Cheers, Rich S.

[@SCL3618]

Nicely done!

[@CSX_Bennett_Subdivision]

A very cool and well made video!

[@BMMEC6000]

I really enjoyed that

[@NickOzorak]

Thanks!

[@ShawnsTrains265]

This was awesome! How can I do this to build my dream layout?

[@camelback5924]

anyone else missing a dependencies with the switchstands

[@yrunaked4]

beautiful

[@Curious_Skeptic]

If I buy this game in steam, do I have access to this included, or do I need to buy something else too? I LOVE this! I'm so disappointed in most all train sims! This video is more of what I was hoping for. Love the engine, the concept and the layout!

[@NickOzorak]

You can download this route from the Download Station, which is included with all versions of Trainz.

[@AKidNamedKenny96]

Does this mean you''ll review something like...maybe this program called Run 8 V3???

[@spudwagon2401]

More please :)

[@chrisscott8934]

Have you make a layout before in trainz or is this your first time doing one for starters?

[@NickOzorak]

I've already made several, some of which you see in the intro to this video.

[@chrisscott8934]
