very good layout i like it thank you g.r
Very well done. The video was very informative and both the video and the narration was professional quality. I look forward to other layout tours.
I like the layout alot of great ideas for my layout as I have been looking for something from that area.I was from Marlinton,now I live in Oxnard,Ca…Just got back into the hobby as I have a 6yr.granson and a younger granddaughter who will come along later.Thanks for the video.
love the layout me aand my mate run up and bnsf and sp it is dc but we do our best to ru prototypical
One of best, most in-depth videos. Plenty of time to enjoy it all.
GLAD to see an extra-large, 2-deck layout for N-scale.
GLAD to see some of the layout in pre-sceniked form. Helps some of usto better understand what, especially the benchwork, lies beneath all those trees.
SAD to see the mainline narrative almost completely about freight, especially coal, while the video shows an express passenger train the whole way through.
SORRY a few of the curve radii were very tight for long passenger cars – but no tighter than the Salt Lake Route. Hey if it works, more aisle space for everyone!
Excellent video. I learned a great deal. I do not know why the young man in the end segment had to use profanity to describe something he did not like about the railroad appearance. We must raise our level of discourse. English is a great language with millions of words why must we resort to vulgar expressions to describe something that is good clean fun. Otherwise it was a pleasant experience.
I enjoyed the tour because it gave me several ideas for my new n scale layout. Thank you.
WOW makes me want to switch from HO to N scale.
Farrell J Webb - I didn’t use any profanity in the video. I appologize if anyone thinks I did, because I most certainly didn’t. Thank you MR for publishing the video! I know Marcus the owner of the layout was really happy to discover I had sent the video to you guys to publish.
excellent layout alot of track running could watch this and enjoy it for hours. i have room for more still building on what i do have as time and money allows.show more asap. thk u crt
Great Video- I would like to see more as the layout progresses.
Why is an ad about gun control superimposed on this very fine video?
Lots of fun to operate on this layout, and Marcus has put a lot of time and effort into the CR&E. Always a pleasure to get an invite to come run a train up the loops east of Glace!
Very interesting and enjoyable video. I am always captivated by a well-done video which incorporates a well-thought-out descriptive narrative, as well as just “seeing the trains run by”. Although a static shot of the overall layout plan would be welcome (it’s a pretty big layout to take in all at once!), Marcus’ commentary pretty much explains it thoroughly. Good work!
Great Layout, really impressed by how much you have done on a huge layout. As a fellow N Gauger,you really demonstrate the scenery to train adavantage of the scale. I wish I lived near you, it would be a pleasure to help you build your layout, and take part in operating sessions. Thank you for sharing what you have accomplished.
Outstanding layout and an excellent video. I look forward to seeing the progress as more scenery is added. Well done all around, and thanks.
Excellent video ! I noticed you’re running DCC, what kind of signaling system are you using?
Thanks for showing the video,looks like a very smooth running railroad and Iam sure it wll be a great looking railroad when everything is completed. Thanks again. John H. Australia.
Thanks for a great tour! It is very interesting to get a sense of how the railroad and controls work together for realistic operation. The explanation of the design rationale is most helpful to me as I design my new layout. Thanks.
