Next level work. Awesome job!

Is it possible to get the part number of the Kato track used in the helix?

Anyone know how to contact Michael? I've been modeling CFNR and NWP in N scale for years. My grandparents were in Petaluma, and would love a model of the depot. Great layout!

I wish the Puget Sound Model Railroad Engineers could go all steam and go in the 1930-40 time frame.

Another decoder that can work with dead rail, but communicates through wifi instead of Bluetooth, unlike blunomi, is called LocoFi.

I like the thinking of reversing colors to weather cars. Very cool colors of my native Calif. Thank you.

I've seen Petes layout, great. And Pete is a great guy.

I really enjoy seeing all the steam locomotives. Especially the rare 4-8-0 12 wheeler types.

Thanks for clinic. In the boxcar demo outside, I wasn't clear how Mark was handling the situation of painting a boxcar that had a door that opens. Anyone that was there can give a hint what Mark was doing? I saw that there was someone videoing from over Mark's right shoulder, anyway to get a stream of that?

Always great watching your videos and your impressive layout

shapeways went out of business . I use the one printering co that starts with J L c I made mistakes to learn them but I think O K ! I can comment again later ?I do not have room to have own printer . There are local printers also ! 8001 resin and translucent finish is good .

Great video and tips!

Really interesting presentation. Thankyou, it explains a lot. I have a ton of TT from Triang, it really is a great setup. 3mm is the perfect scale if you are pressed for space. Steven.

Intetesting exchange of know how with gorgeous examples. Any wheel runs fine on code 100. How to know which one will pass on 40, 55, 70 ? It can be costly to replace a lot cause we like tiny old branchline rail size. Not to mention steamers... Thanks for the show.

Very informative!

Yeah! A great concept for keeping the Great Northern alive . Keeping the Jim Hill dream alive well done gentlemen.! All the best for you. bj n scaler and gn fan. 😊

Interesting about the car with a rotary coupler at both ends. I always assumed that they would cut off the caboose / helper engines before the dumper which would pull the train through.

As someone who is in the process of rebuilding my layout so that I can do operations on it this is a fantastic video! Thanks for sharing.

Does Chuck make the Eagle files for the CTC panel available? Thanks

Too bad I can’t be there for the spring meet. I’ll be out of town that day

This was a great session to get an introduction to what JMRI can do. Most people are overwhelmed when they first see what JMRI can do. What needs to be remembered is that only a few people in the operations group do most of the setup and the majority of the people just use the output of JMRI, primarily the manifests/switch lists, and run their trains according to those and do not get involved in setup. Thanks for this informative video.

The layout was just awesome, It drives me nuts when people in our hobby run their mouth when they don’t have all the facts. I believe. there room for all this great hobby. Most people I know don’t like blowhards.

Enjoying the series on operations. Love hearing the different ways that people develop their layouts and the different types of operations. Thanks for sharing.

O.M.G thats the finest layout I have ever seen Love the locos

I try to add a fiddle yard or like described "outside word to my RR. after seeing video , even though mine is a podunk style shortilne . This plan sure is much alike to what I plan ! For train running flexiability , I only need one engine with radio control or" dead rail which is more simple than DCC wireing hassles for my own situation . I was impressed with this layout thanks !

AMAZING! The story.. the history.. I doubt the "history" element of the experience was given a whole lot of consideration, but seeing the videos and photos was fantastic.

Man-O-Man, What a story! What an adventure this was for you and your 2 friends, and good friends by the way for being so keen to keep doing this over and over so many times with you and of course supportive parents to humor your passion. I love the ingenuity you guys all showed in development and overcoming obstacles during all of these outings and that you recorded all of this in pictures and movies. I loved the scenes of your friend with the black cowboy hat riding shotgun on the front of your #3 speeder. The fact that you 3 teenagers survived out in the woods alone for 2-weeks on the last trip is a testament to your fortitude in those days. Young kids today cry when they get a flat tire or run out of gas in town on a paved surface Ha ha. This is definitely a Top %1 You Tube video about adventure and a Top %.0001 For railroad historians, modelers and enthusiasts alike. Glad you saved some of the artifacts and I hope you have it in your will to donate them to a museum for everyone else to see them. @39:26 were you guys eating old K-Rations from WW2? They looked like miniature boxed Army rations for sure. Also, on the last trip you made that lasted 2-weeks, did your father meet you all at some point for a resupply of foods? ❤💯👍👍

Are these tracks still there ?

Very interesting but not for me

Jerry, awesome presentation.

Very nice tour and layout!

I have run on Jerry's layout a few times and everything just works. Except when the power goes out in half the town because of a squirrel lol.

Awesome!!!!

Hi Jerry, love the layout. I remember us looking over your plans 10-15 years ago in Utah. Nice to see it become reality. Doug Tagsold

Wow Burr, that sure looks cold where you are! 😂 🥶

Nice presentation. Thanks everyone.

Great weathering and very nice scenery!!!

Amazing effort! Thanks for sharing. My wife and I visited the Coors facility on our honeymoon many years ago (she was from Colorado). I had forgotten the power plant and creek through the facility until this presentation. Excellent presentation.

My daughter and her family used to live out in Washington. They have moved but if I ever get back out that way I will have to check this out. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent presentation. As a Puget Sound resident and modeler it was nice to get some granular information on NW operations. Thanks for the post.

Is that route in Trainz available to download?

Great Layout. Thank You.

The Coors section be heaven to me as love shunting. incredible layout.

Amazing scratch building talent.

Incredible work! Very impressive system. I really enjoyed this.

He has one helluva complex setup!

Tour de force! Great presentation!

In addition to admiring the layout I also acquired an appreciation for Coors as an innovative industry.
