I posted this video on Youtube a while back, but neglected to post it here. The video is a follow-up on a similar cab-ride from about 3.5 years ago, where I used my new GoPro to give an up-close look at the layout. In this video, the train repeats part of the original circuit, but then also ventures on to the extension that was added in the summer of 2017. Enjoy!

Dan, Thank you for the cab ride!! Very nice! I'm thinking it must have been about 4 years since I visited. I don't recall the upper level by the windows. What is the intent for extending beyond the precipice? As I recall the section on the next wall beside the door was in a state of flux then. Is the entry a lift out or swing up or down where the gentleman in the tuscan Pennsylvania shirt was standing and waving?

The upper level was added in the spring of 2015 for an On30 extension that failed to materialize. I think it was extended about 2 feet further when we decided to make the upper level an O gauge yard instead. I don't think we plan on extending the upper deck any further, but I haven't been to a meeting in two months. The bridge lifts out; it's a pair of 2 by 4 with holes drilled in the ends to fit over posts on the table.
That all sounds great, Dan! Thank you very much!!
