Hi! My introduction to everyone.

Nice video. Good looking layout with lots of action. Wellcome to the forum.................Paul 2

Welcome aboard! Nice video work.

Lots of action on that layout! Welcome to the forum!

Welcome!

Thanks for the video. Looks like you've found your "happy place" in the hobby! Keep having fun!

Thanks everyone. When I get home from work this layout helps me to leave work at work.

Very nice, lots of action, something going on everywhere you look, must also look nice at night.

thanks for sharing the video

Welcome!  Your comment about your layout helping you leave work at work resonated with me.  Before I retired, I’d head to the basement each evening with a glass of sweet tea for about 20 minutes of train running before supper.  That helped me unwind from the day.  Now that I’m retired; the layout helps me to stay out of trouble with “the boss”.  😉

I’m curious; where did you get the materials for the corn field on your layout?

Curt

Welcome to the Forum. I am looking forward to your future posts.

Glad to have you RS.   Welcome to this gathering of great RR enthusiasts. 

What an action packed layout.   🤓 ......and just how long have you been doing this sort of thing  ?  🤔

Hope you stick around for a long time .  So much info and help and amazing photos and videos here.

Curt, I got the corn stalks from eBay along with the tractor.

Thanks Dallas!  My oldest son is about 24 so I'd say at least 24 years now.

What great dedication to creativity and fun to have been into this for so long. 👍

I only got back in the hobby ( three dimensional art and limited electrical prowess ) for the last 4 years after being away since 1975.

Stay safe 😷 and have fun RS.

Thanks everyone! I will post more pictures of the rest of my collection later. Including a lot of post war pieces.

Welcome aboard! Awesome collection and sweet layout!

This is the rest of my collection. Mostly Lionel but a handful of MTH, some K-Line and Williams in there somewhere. Any MTH engines has been upgraded to ERR Cruise or DC Commander. 

Wow!  That is a great collection.  You have some nice display cases too.

 Wow'''' what a collection'.. you have'.. The layout has lots of animation'... very cool'..  Happy to see you join the forum. Lots a great folks on here, and you'll enjoy spending time with us'...😀

Thanks Mark! I just ordered some more Glenn Snyder shelves but I will have to get creative as I am running out of wall space.

Hi @rscott521

What a great layout and collection. I saw a couple of note worthy items, the D&H ALCO's and NYC PA's are sweet.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the most fun place there is to enjoy model railroading and later I’ll watch your video and check your work out. You’ll have a lot of fun going through the different themes of this forum, example, 3 Rail Scale, For Sale, Wants, and the Electrical forums, and so many more. There’s a lot of information to be had by just asking on the help forums. In a nut shell, you have a great abundance of knowledge here, both Real trains, model trains, simply everything about the subject of Trains is right here at your fingertips.... Enjoy your journey through the many pages of this fantastic Forum. Happy Railroading Everyone

Looks like you have an impressive roster of steam and diesel locomotives. Welcome to the forum. I always enjoy watching everyone's videos. Thank you for posting yours. I look forward to more of the same.

Nice layout and nice collection of locomotives!

CSX, a very nice video, and I know your into Sounds, Voices, Whistles and Bells, and a Command Control system of choice. If it’s the Legacy system, there’s a gentleman on the OGR For Sale forum with a rare CSX AC6000 #610 super bass unit that would fit perfectly between your CSX Lash up. Nvich is the Seller and is very reliable. You’ll be amazed at the Bass sounds. I call my 4 units Rolling Thunder....

I have the bass unit myself and it’s amazing, thanks for joining this forum. Your layout is very nice, the accessories really cool, your operation is awesome. Happy Railroading Everyone 

Glad to see your layout has a HALLOWEEN scene!  Christmas scenes are an understandable favorite of many hobbyists, but celebrating Halloween is fun -- and spooky. Carry on ...

Yes Mike H. fall + Halloween is a favorite time of year for me. I love the crisp low humidity days after a long hot summer.

Welcome aboard.  Glad to have ya here!
