THAT’S REALLY NICE . I HAVE A SCALE 2- RAIL ‘O’’ GUAGE LAYOUT WITH SOME FRIENDS , BUT SOME DAY I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD A MODULAR “HO” TRACTION LAYOUT IN MY OWN BASEMENT
Sure is a nice layout, very neat the way you have pinned the pieces together. I was waiting to hear that diesel roar as it was passing by and going into the tunnels, of course the air horn blasts. Over all, you people always do a great presentation, thanks!
Excellent way to get inspired to start building a layout. One thing on epidoe 19. I wish I could have seen how the cab control was switched from place to plae. My knowledge of DCC is limited. I’m a watch and do kind of learner ! 
Having just made dozens of castings for my own layout, I couldn’t help but notice the view of at least one portal does not appear to have a tunnel lining…or maybe I’m just seeing daylight from the other side.
All other scenery features look great!
I just don’t stop learning. The MR staff has done another amazing job. This has been entertaining and educational. So I’ll ask again, What do you do with all the project layouts once you are finished with them? Do you dismantle them or donate them?
P.S. My favorite video was “Operating the Beer Line.”
good job.
One way to avoid the 2 cab limit is to use JMRI and the WI throttle or wireless throttle for Android. It is a good wireless system for a small layout as long as you don’t exceed 1.5 amps! I think operations would be more fun without having to worry about plugging in. Great job on the video series!
Great video, but I echo an earlier comment that the promised DCC segment was omitted. However, I have a question about the pattern makers pins. I looked on the company’s website and they do not list them. Are they something you have to ask specifically about or were they discontinued?
Great job! It gave me some ideas to use on my own layout.
A great use of a small space with plenty of scenery and lots of
travel time with this train
Excellent, great modular connections and scenery, well done.
This is great stuff! I love the idea that you have these wonderful videos of your construction progress and it is also in the magazine. Thanks a lot!
I was wondering how has the Bachmann H16-44 been performing. I always liked FMs and was considering buying one of them.Great series on a fine coal road.
Even tho I am an O Guage collector, I found the video helpful in giving me some ideas I can use as I build my new layout. Thanks, Bob
thanks for the short video set over the last few mouths of this year.
hope that will on a dvd video so that want get copy of this layout and watch at home in only times look at details that give to the model railroad.
One again the MR staff sets a high, but reachable, standard for our great hobby. Thanks for the great work!
Good job .On video it looks bigger than it is.
I enjoyed the series very much and looked forward to each video segment. Job well done. Can’t wait for the next project video series, sure it will be good.
You brought back the thrill I got the first time I ran a train on the Genesee & Wyoming Magadore Branch (my latest layout). Next comes finding any rough spots or bad switch points. No matter how careful you construct the track, there is always at least on spot needing adjustment. Makes it more fun that way. Every day I pass the new second track CSX is laying from the yard here in Charlotte. I wonder how many adjustments they will have to make!
Dave, I really enjoyed the series. The only thing I would have liked to have seen a little more in detail was the actual painting of the rubber rock croppings and staining of the plaster rocks with the various washes. The one question I have concerns the electrical connectors between the benchwork. Are they durable enough to plugged and unplugged numerous times? When our train club built a modular holiday train layout for a local park for their holiday program called Santa’s Trains at Look Park, we actually used the male and female connectors that were used for stereo component connection. We drilled 2 holes in the framework and connected the wiring that way. We did this because we felt that since the 6 table layout was going to be assembled and then disassembled every Christmas season that the plugs would hold up better. Your thoughts please.
