Thanks Mark! It’s a work in progress and I’m having a lot of fun. I enjoy following the progress of your layout too. Great stuff!

Fantastic layout and video………love your approach!

I looked at the other video you made on your You Tube channel…….I love how you stretch kits out using pieces here and there as background structures. The station is gorgeous…….looks like an old B&O station…..Point of Rocks?

I love the Night Hawks scene and I love how you are working Plasticville into your gorgeous scenery………I saw a Plasticville diner…….I think I even saw Plasticville apartment house pieces kit- bashed into a structure!

Bravo!!!

Hey Peter! Thanks! That’s my friend David Vaughn’s layout (with the Night Hawks and the PoR station). That’s actually the late John Armstrong’s layout saved and repurposed. It really is incredible!

Thanks Peter! I really appreciate it. I’m having a blast!

UPDATE: My friend Al and I are presently helping take down an O scale layout and sell the O scale collection. I brought home something new for the layout today. This is a spectacular engine house, custom built by Don Eastman.

I just watched Al's  you tube , and that is an amazing structure.

It is stunning! I can’t wait to get it installed on the layout.

Quite impressive indeed!

It's just my opinion, but it's one of the most impressive structures I've ever seen. That's board by board construction. It was built by a modeler named Don Eastman, who's a master modeler. I still can't believe it's going to be on my layout.

I've been busy lately but I've been working on the layout when I can. Ran some trains last night, including some over the new coal branch, as seen in this video.

Ryan, congratulations on 500 subscribers!  I may be subscriber #501 😄😄

The trains and layout look great as always!  Have a great weekend!
