Enjoyable layout! Question: That warehouse building at 0:20. Is this a kit you purchased or is it something you kitbashed? It looks very nice and it's the type of structures I'm looking to put on my shelf layout. - Thanks.
yes it is set in the 1920's through the 1930's although i have desiel engines i don't run them all the time.it is dc controlled i use blocks with switches to control the power where i want it.its kind of old school railroading.thanks for the comments
I love your layout. I always wanted to do one very similar to this. I live in Western Pa, and I'm 14. I want to start one (either O or HO guage) but I don't have the time. Anyway, Great layout and keep posting videos! Thanks for all the ideas, and if I may ask, what year are you dating this to? Between 1925 and 1933? By the way, is that a DC controler I saw? And Being you have multiple Engines, how are you controling each one? Thanks again, P.McElfresh.

its a mrc sound station that i use with my steam engines.i would like to get a walkaround for the the layout they are really neat i am also old school and run dc.
The smaller control to the left of the larger control on the layout, is that a DC control for your layout? I want to get a hand held control for my layout but, I'm not doing the DCC set-up. I'm old school and the sounds just aren't that important to me. Thanks again, the layout looks terrific!
Looks very realistic. I like the way you have it set up. Access to everything looks real easy and the access panel for derailments is a great idea. Looking forward to the finished product. I'm starting construction on my layout today and was just shopping around on here to get inspiration when I came across your layout. You've given me a few great ideas! Thanks for sharing.
First ofall you did a great job with the camera,second it's abeatifull layout. I myself just got back in to the hooby,I model the moder era, but I love the alltime eras somehow the detail looks alot better.That coverbridge looks awsome that mountain its big ,I can wait to see what you will do with it,5 stars.
The layout is 17by10by6 like a j figure the mountains are rolled up news paper covered in plaster cloth when it dried i removed all the news paper by removing the board that you see. the mountains will aventually be covered in 6 to 8 inch trees. thanks
Very nice work. I am thinking about getting back into the hobby after a 20 year layoff. I live in York PA, and my dad and grandparents were from Muddy Creek Forks. PRR and M & P is all I saw most of my life. Your covered bridge and Mill reminded me of the visits to my grandparents in the 1950's. I think my dad used to ride that gas powered train to Red Lion Pa for a quarter!
@Joshishoard like rjgmsg said, you will most likely want DCC. mow im a begineer too and found info on youtube about it. a good DCC system is NCE Power Cab, its about $130-$180 i believe. you will need that kit, and either DCC ready locomotives or Locomotives that you can put a decoder in and make them DCC ready yourself. decoder go about $20 each, its liek the recieving end of a radio transmission.
another video will be out around feb or march i am currently painting rail because last year i added another small yard around where the coaling tower is in the video. it takes alot of time to do this because its just me i don't have any one helping me.thanks for the comment its people like you that inspire me even more. merry christmas
@rjgmsg Hello. Nice job on the railroad! I love it! I see you used the woodland scenics foam roadbed, like I did. Also I was wondering, are you painting your rails by hand with that Joe's Model Trains Rusty Rail Painter, which has a small foam wheel that you dip into the paint? Enjoy!
I just use acrylic paint that you would buy from a arts and craft store.I appley it using a small brush. I think the color is burnt umber. It seems to stick and hold up very well.thanks
I run a dc layout with blocks.you can run 2 trains on this but they will run the same speed.you need to run dcc to do what you want to do i do not know alot about dcc but any local train shop will be glad to help you out i hope this helps you out good luck
sorry for the delay on responce i have been working alot i plan on making another video next winter but i did ad another small yard in front of the coaling tower for more cars and engines.
Great stuff! I also noticed when you finish this section, you have room to expand. I'm a carpet railroader for now and I modeled mine for 1947 with UP & DRGW I put put a vid up if you want to see, "model trains big boy 4015 & challengers" Can't wait to see your layout in What? a year or so?
A great video and a great layout rjgmsg! Videos like yours are great motivators to go and do that little bit more on my own layout. Many thanks and keep up the good work!
Begging and grovelling seems to work the best. You can also say that it's a great hobby for the kids! Keeps'em off the streets and she'll know what they're doing!
Very nice layout. Love the detail in the design and the fact that you explain the train type and devotion to the ma and pa railroad. It is a great hobby!
Excellent layout. Great work!
