@47mulligan Unfortunately, with the way things are right now, I don't run anything much. The Blue Comet is a Locosounds engine, so it usually only gets run for a little while when I run it (just long enough to smoke up the place). (I'm going to make the two responses, due to length)
@47mulligan As for the mountain, it is paper mache on window screening. The screening is held up by scrap wood and tunnel portals I cut out of wood, and held together with hot glue. Then I glued on the K-Line Tunnel portals. It's a cheap way to make a tunnel. Excluding the K-Line tunnel portals, I think it cost me $20 to make to the point seen here. After this video was taken, I added trees, by scraping some of the snow off the miniature christmas trees and spraypainting them a brighter green
I love running trains in conventional mode...glad to see that I'm not alone in the world. It seems that so many people are into th hi-tech command control now a days. Not knocking it, just don't need it! Great layout.
@stationmaster12 We aren't alone, not by a long shot. There are many of us who would rather run trains conventionally than by remote control, but many of them seem to be content with what they have, and don't show it off. The people with the new technology want to show it off, so you see more of that.
Holy cow, just was looking at my subscriptions so I thought I would take a look at your stuff also. Very very very nice and what a large set up. Just curious on the size of this layout? Thanks for sharing some of your collection with us and keep the videos comming!!
@JEFFNMANDA3 Honestly, I don't know what the exact size is because of my layout's odd shape (I could figure it out, but I do enough math in college lol). I can tell you that it's in a 14 by 14 room, and was made out of 5 sheets of plywood (4 by 8), with not a lot of wood leftover.
@soccerplaya226 I'm going to let you in on a little secret. If you go and see my other videos, there is one of that Big Boy running. It is the K-Line big boy. Also, I plan on doing more videos of individual engines (and anything else requested within reason), so subscribe if you want to see more :)
@PghTrainFanatic Thank you! I do not have a video currently, but subscribe, as I plan on doing more videos, including one with that engine (K-Line UP Big Boy)

Very nice. I noticed the Blue Comet. Do you run it much? Your mountain is fantastic. What did you use to make it?

Hi Mike!
I like your layout. Plenty of action on it too. How is the 265E doing these days? I know he can be cantankerous at times....LOL! Take Care.....Keith
