JDstucks Layout Update (Spring 2019)

Nice update. Great to see a young guy with such a nice layout. Also  great to see another model railroader into cars too!! I have been into cars and trains since I was 4 years old.

BTW....put a caboose on that coal drag!!!!

My current project...one of them...

I'll have to check it out when I get home later. Been waiting to see what you've had going on.

Jason. Awesome layout and really nice car you got there. Do you have a track plan posted anywhere for it?  Looks very interesting.

AMCDave - Thanks! I can't believe the layout is 10 years old though. I'm ready to make the next one. Sadly I didn't have any era appropriate cabooses to put on.

And that's a sharp looking Mustang!

I always enjoy the videos of your layout Jason. Of special mention is the one of the 765 where you dubbed over audio from the real excursion. Superbly done!

Great video Jason, hopefully you can get the layout moved.

Great layout, thanks for sharing the reviews and wheels, too.

Jason, I have enjoyed your videos for years.  Thanks for posting this update.  I'll check it out later tonight.

Jason, I always enjoy your videos of your layout!  Reviews are always good too!  That's a sharp looking new profile photograph too!

Hi Jason

Always enjoy your updates and reviews - awesome layout 👍🏼

Nice update. It's great to see a fellow Ohio State graduate close to my age who has such an interest in the hobby!

Nice video and update. That Supra is really nicely done. I think there tends to be an overlap of people who like cars and model trains. I also have the same affliction. I enjoy O scale models of Santa Fe locomotives and rolling stock as well as my extensively modified 1988 Ford Thunderbird. So in essence I have both a warm season and cold season hobby. It's rarer to see among younger people (I'm going to be 34 this year) as few of us have the $$$$ for both these hobbies, which are not cheap.

Lou, Great point about many people who like trains like cars too!  Just as I don't like modern railroading that much, I don't see anything built for the highway today that I really like.  My '04 Hyundai Sonata is the last of a breed in my humble opinion.  So I like steam and first generation diesels and like fewer and fewer cars as we rolled into the '60s and '70s.  Well, I'll be 63 soon, so that explains it I guess.  It's a nostalgia thing I suppose.

All that said, I do enjoy seeing modelers like Jason who run modern equipment and have modern vehicle on their layouts.  I just don't model that era.  Again, Jason you have done a fabulous job! and those autoracks look impressive!  (Makes me long for the open autoracks of the '60s.)  It was really cool seeing a load of Mustangs roll down the rails.

Just seeing these replies. Wow, Thank you all for the positive feedback!

E-UNIT-79: I included a track plan in one of my last few layout updates. I think maybe from a year ago? I'll try to dig up the schematic.

Dave : Thank you and I Hope I can start a new layout soon.

DRELO: I always appreciate those who have been followed my progress over the years. Hopefully I can continue for many more.

Mark: Thank you! And I though it was time for a more up to date photo haha.

DORFJ2: Thanks for the positive feedback.

Andrew: I've got a Buckeye shrine in the office of my new house haha. I was a member of TBDBITL

LOU1985: I've noticed the overlap too. And I think more of us are starting to share both of our hobbies which I think is great. And you're right, trains and cars ensures that you have a hobby for all seasons. I'm blessed to have a job that allows me to enjoy both. Your Thunderbird looks very clean as well! I'd love to see more young people get involved in the hobby. That's a big reason for doing the YouTube videos. I'm 28 years old and I'm still considered a baby in this hobby haha.

Jason

Always totally enjoy seeing you and the updates on the layout.  Good luck with your new house.  Sounds like a nice basement to have a new layout.  If the planning for the new one is anything like your present one, it will be great!!   Keep up the great work as a you tube personality haha  as well as an awesome model railroader.

Jason,

I enjoyed the video and am looking for forward to you getting started on a layout in your new Detroit area home. 

Let me know if you need a hand hauling lumber, my pickup will work better than the Supra

28? Well at soon to be 34 I feel like the old man now.

Jason, Yes I would love to see more young people involved in the hobby, but I think there is a nice core group to carry the hobby on past my time!! 

At 62, I'm happy to keep this 4-year old photograph as my profile photo!!  

Thanks, Jason......great video!

Peter

Jason,

I look forward to your new videos and Stockyard Express is a great place to purchase trains.  I stop there every time I head to Toledo to visit my friends and family.  Your cars neat.  That is not one of my hobbies because I have better luck fixing trains then cars.  I always cause more problems with cars and it ends up costing more for others to fix.  I hope your new house works out and I am sure you bought it with trains in mind.

Jason, I have a question. Would you please contact me at dennis@brennansmodelrr.com

We met at Charlie’s. I had already seen your video. Didn’t put 2 & 2 together until now. Glad you are in our area. Good to meet you.
