FINALLY GOING UP!! Two videos

Looks great, Alex. You can't beat big steam on a long viaduct! 

Jim

Alas, the layout is looking good, different than the old one. I also bought the Texas Special set.  It looks very sharp.

Awesome Alex. Great Progress

Looks great Alex!

Hi Alex / Excellent Model Railroading..... Videos & layout.

Gary

j

Excellent!!

Looking good Alex.

good start!!  He I know someone who lives on Sate Island who can help you with building a roundhouse,  OOPs that would be you!! never mind.

  See you at York

Thanks for the videos Alex. Looking great as usual. What did you use to make the videos?

Very cool Alex. The viaduct is sweet, Jim makes some nice products. I have the Texas Special set with the 2-car add-on set too. That set is beautiful. 

Mike

This is shaping up to be a beautiful layout. Love that whistle on the Big Boy! 

What is up with the HO(?) track - plans for a narrow gauge operation?

Looks great Alex! The viaduct looks like the one in Nicholson. I'm also glad to see that you got #4012 also, I have that one too. I got because I only live 10 miles from Steamtown. 

Guys, would you expect anything but the best from Alex.  Great work Alex.

Very nice!  Big UP steam, my favorite!

Nice videos. The Big Boy whistle almost sounds like it's alive.

Thanks,  Jim, Doug, Kevin, Jeff, Gary, JPC, Don, John,Steve, Roger,Mike,SJC, Chris, Marty,Portland Rose,and Denny, for the kind comments.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roger, i used my I-phone 6 to take these videos.

SJC, I use that track to test and repair Lionel American flyer engines, no plans for narrow gauge or HO.

Marty, thanks for that beautiful comment!!!!!!!!!!!

Doug, great to hear from you, hope to see you soon.

Jim, couldn't agree more.!!!

Mike, yes the Texas special set is beautiful.

Steve, i can always use some help LOL !!!

Chris, i love the Big Boy, awesome engine

Denny, yes the Big Boy whistle is fabulous

Thank you all, Alex

Alex what is that a government job the bridge to no were LOL ,look's good  , see you at York .

Guy

Your welcome Alex!

Thanks Alex, that is great!

BTW, what is the maximum grade, and are there vertical easements starting and ending the grade?  Thanks for the info.

Nice video.

I am interested in the measurements of the grade you created up to the viaduct...it attains elevation quickly, but it does not look like "too much" grade.

That looks like so much fun it ought to be illegal !

Ed

You DA MAN ALEX!!!!    See you at YORK.

Great looking transition from flat to grade, Love how it is seamless. how did you do the transition? Did you plane the end of your starting board, or run it into a hole on the bench work? I have seen both done, but don't know what would work best. But yours looks like a pro built it and I need to know, Heck the world needs to know . GREAT JOB!

Alex,

I just watched your videos again. You got some really nice work going on there. I'm anxious to see what it'll look like finished......well we all know we're never finished.

Looks great Alex

Nice watching your new layout come together --- love the long sweeping curves

That Texas Special horn is awesome

Fine progress, Alex!

Really glad to see your updates - thank you for sharing.

Alex

Hello everyone, I thank you all for the very nice comments !!!!

Hi Guy, lol !!!!  see you at York

Ken, if i figured it out correctly the max grade is 4 percent, as for the easements i will add close up photos to this post so you can get a good look.

Rob, The measurements are as follows, overall length from start to finish is just under 15 feet, max height is 7 1/2 inches, I'm going to add photos in a few minutes so you can get a close look. The trains run extremely smooth when i tested them.

Hi Ed, it was a ton of fun, with a lot more in store. So stay tuned.

Laz, see you at York !!!

Mike G, pictures will be added to this post in a few minutes, this type of work comes pretty easy for me. I used to be a carpenter.

Denny, Stay tuned there's a lot more in store coming soon.

Joe, yes i love the sweeping curves.

Alex, thanks buddy hope to see you and Judy soon.

Thanks, Alex

The only thing I know that went up as good as that is smell of the Moo Goo Gai Pan at 5pm from Hong Kong Gardens

WOW!!! That looks awesome!
