On Saturday, during the 2024 RPM Conference, I got the opportunity to operate with the Modutrak Group. I operated for about four hours on this mid-west-themed layout and had a blast. Not just because of running trains, which is already fun, but also for the conversations with others who share the same passion for the hobby. It was a great time, and I can not thank the guys of the Modutrak Group...

    Hi Tony, Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year. I look forward to more videos from you layout in 2025. I just wish I would have found your channel before the NSE Convention in Bethlehem, as myself and a friend attended that convention. It would have been fun to meet you in person at the convention and spend a little time talking about the various granger roads. Cheers, Rich S.

    A really nice video. The trains look fantastic. In their own way, n-scale trains are have stronger realism than their HO and O scale counterparts. There are some things that n-scale trains do extremely well, dare I say, better than other scales.
