Northwest Railroads: The secret room
Very nice layout and room. I enjoyed it a lot.
Thanks Gary, really the layout is a collage of childhood memories. When the merger had happened in 1969 I was already working but I still remember the bothersome feelings of the death of NP. It was like saying “so long” to an old friend.
Wow! You really made good use of every inch of your 10’ x 15’ pike and lots of action also. Keep up the good work . I enjoyed watching.

My congratulations to your Wife, shows you wives do really care. The layout is superb well done
What an interseting layout, very detailed and captivating. Even the background music . I know this may sound corny, Can someone tell me the name of the song being played in the beginning of the video…Again nice layout, also what brand of track was used in this layout
TONY LISIEWICZ AWESOME NICE JOB. FULL OF DETAILS. LOVE ALL THE ACTION
The music is called The Homecoming. If you play the piano, it’s an easy piece.
The track is Atlas O, 072 outside radius, 063 inside radius, and 054 switches, except for one 072. Some engines center rollers get stuck in the frog of the 072 switches which then requires a piece of cork track bedding cut to fill the hole and raise the center roller.
