Completely enjoyed the video tour. As an Western US N Scaler, excited to see progress and updates.

Thanks Jim! Great visit. Although I’m not a N scaler, I do enjoy your column in the mag. Hope that you’re enjoying your “semi” retirement!

Excellent layout Jim! Thanks for giving the tour and describing your great n-scale layout!

NICE! A pleasing balance of what looks finished and what’s not yet finished, plus some nice trains and great scenery work. I hope Jim is enjoying this railroad.

Thanks for the tour Jim! Fourth time dealing with this subject matter shows an excellent capturing of many key elements of the line. Congratulations!

A slight quibble with the MRVideo staff–NOT Jim: The Tehachapi Pass Line was built and owned by the Southern Pacific. Santa Fe used the line via trackage rights. Even during the failed merger SPSF era of 1985, modeled by Jim, this ownership remained. Jim has chosen to emphasize the Santa Fe operation–a modeler’s choice, but the line should be titled in a way to reflect the SP ownership.

Thank you Jim and the MRVideo Plus staff for the tour of the layout. Hopefully we’ll continue to see update videos as more sections of the layout are completed. Layout visits is one of my favorite sections of MR Video Plus.

Thanks Jim for the tour! What a beautiful layout!

Thanks Jim. Beautifully conceived & constructed layout. I like your scenic work especially the rock formations. Although I model Pennsy in HO I always appreciate work in all scales. Thank you for your continuing contribution to scale modelling. I look forward to seeing more progress on your layout. Well done, JIm.

Thanks for sharing this work in progress.

Really enjoyed Jim’s Layout and your MR video of it. I hope you do more MR video’s of other model layouts. I always like that part of MRVP.

The scenery is not overpoweered by the trains. The trains run well. I like this layout!

Thanks for the trip over Jim Kelly’s Tehachapi Pass RR. It’s interesting that Jim has built a number of versions of the line. These visits to operating model railroads are a most enjoyed part of MR Video Plus. Look forward to future video visits.
