Fantastic - ESU decoders are an excellent choice.

That looks 90% better. Great idea

This is an amazing scene !

What DCC system do you use?

I do not know if in Argentina there are many model railroaders who have adopted Digitrax technology; but in my case since 2018 I have incorporated it into my life. Learning the correct use of it is a long road to travel, which from the interpretation of the correct hardware connection to the logic of the design of track occupancy detection zones, definition of blocks and the assembly of the logic of Signal actuations and interlocking of the same, make a conglomerate of elements, sometimes complicated to associate correctly and adding to all these hardware components another excellent development over so many years and continuous improvements, such as the JMRI software. Dear Rhythm RR... and passionate JMRI programmer friends, with all your excellent videos, you have given us a lesson in learning how to assemble all these components in games. My most sincere congratulations.... Ubaldo from Argentina.

Desconozco si en Argentina existen muchos ferromodelistas que hayan adoptado la tecnología de Digitrax; pero en mi caso desde el 2018 la he incorporado a mi vida. El aprendizaje del correcto uso de la misma, es un largo camino a recorrer, el cual desde la interpretación del correcto conexionado del hardware hasta la lógica del diseño de zonas de detección de ocupación de vía, definición de bloques y el armado de la lógica de accionamientos de señales y enclavamientos de las mismas, hacen un conglomerado de elementos a veces, complicados de asociar correctamente y sumando a todos estos compopnentes de hardware otro excelente desarrollo atraves de tantos años y mejoras continuas, como lo es el software JMRI. Estimado Rhythm RR ... y amigos apasionados programadores de JMRI, nos has dado con todos tus excelentes videos, cátedra en el aprendizaje del armado de todos estos componentes en juegos. Mis mas sinceras felicitaciones .... Ubaldo desde Argentina.

Also...thanks for the Rail Guide website recommendation!

Every time I see your layout, I am jealous of the space, even though I know I have more space than many, AND I couldn't afford to fill it if I had it anyway. But man...long mainline runs is what my layout lacks and all that space would fix that in a jiffy! AND it wouldn't be that expensive because it would be just single track and scenery and few structures and spurs and passing sidings here and there...and maybe a signal system...oh crap...

Looking great after all the reworking of the Layout. I see you still have months of work to complete this amazing layout. Mike HO from Australia.

I found the map helpful in trying to comprehend the rational for the layout changes and appreciate the effort you made in putting together the update. To the right of the turnout lock mechanism (hope you do a video on that as well), there are four or five red push buttons, I didn't recognize those. Last wishing you and your wife all the best for the pending arrival! Kind regards, Bill

Holy smokes, amazing layout. Looks like you put a lot of thought and effort into your design. My layout is in a small 11'x12' room, I don't have much room for error... LOL... Keep up the great work

Those shortlines on the 2nd level are really great. Gives you the sense of distance and separation. Well done

Lucky man I would loved to be able to build a layout like that

I like the alterations you've made. The only thing I'd of done differently would be your yard lead. The way it comes out of the yard and is physically separated from your mains by both distance and vertical height, and the fact it crosses your river on a substantial bridge, just seems overkill for a railroad to just have there for a lead. In my opinion it looks like and is laid out like another line... actual subdivision or a branchline. I'd of either figured out how to get that line to your staging to stage inbound trains or just run the track off the front edge and wouldn't have tied it into the main. Adds operational interest to not have those "easy outs" like tieing your lead into the main. The branch line can still be used as your drill track. Maybe it's an out of service subdivision and is only used as a drill track and access to your aggregates industry.

The waterfalls look great ... at least in the vid

Toilet paper for the white water effects? I've never heard of that before. Very cool! Do you have a tutorial you made, or that you followed that you could point me to for that? Also, thank you for your comments on the scale of trees! This is something I try to get across to modelers all the time! They say that the size of super trees is too big and I have to explain that in terms of trunk diameter at least, they're too small... 😂

Excellent work!

New sub here. Nice work! That water looks fantastic! You extra effort was well worth it. Can I ask...what scale this is?

Beautiful River Scene

Your thumbnail is sick! This is definitely a nice spot for photography. Nice results and thanks for taking us on the journey. Everything looks good as is but you can always tweak at a later time as inspiration hits. How far is it from the edge of the extension to the back wall? I'm sure you already talked about about how you will access the back of the layout. Hope your wife and new addition are doing well. Take care.

Have to complain, now I don't know what is my favorite scene on your layout, coming out of the tunnel with the water in front, or this bridge scene... Decisions, decisions...

Your hard work paid off in a great scene. That hard line reminds me of a pipeline across a river that’s been uncovered by erosion.

Looks good

That's one of the best river scenes I've ever seen and the bridges only add to its beauty.

Great update and the water scene looks awesome. Take care and God Bless - Kevin

That looks amazing 🤠

Toilet papers. Is there anything that it can’t do?

Each time I log onto TH-cam subscribed, the first image of this video just blows me away. The grass, rail color, the photographer... Super. Could be the cover shot on a model railroad magazine.

It looks like a atlas master car, great modification !

Nice mod.

Very helpful, thanks for sharing 🤠

Huge multilevel layout with smooth, perfect trackwork and gentle curves ! Realistic speed makes the (long) ride enjoyable. You still got a few hours of scenery to complete. Great operational possibilities too.

Looking good! Leaving staging just after the arrow pointing to the Amtrack jct at 1:15 and next at1:23 there are two sets of red leds hanging from above? Is this something you are working on for the future or? Curious as I am trying to follow your signalling work. Also seems like you have put up more backgrounds and plexiglass since your last update.

Very impressive and fun

Pretty darn impressive, is this a club or home layout?

Man... I've watched a few of your videos before. But I did not realize the overall size of your layout until watching this. Insane!

Thanks for the ride, hope to see new job done

Thank you for all you excellent videos! They are very informative. I have a question about ballast. I'm about to begin ballasting on my layout. I plan on using exactly the same ballast size and color you have used. Can you please give me an idea approximately how far a 1/2 gallon of Scenic Express ballast will go. Any information will be greatly appreciated! Fred

Really nice idea. I like the way they look and connect to the fascia. Thanks for the video and explanation

Could you put in new ditchlights in an intermountain nscale sd40-2? For me

Genius solution ! Fantastic great ideas, also handsome modeler! I just wondering if I can use the same material for men’s underwear. Please ignore this because I’m just thinking it aloud.

Superb tutorial! Thank you for sharing.

Are you running track power through those breakout boards then via the cat5? If so, i'm guessing you don't see any voltage drop but that is pretty thin wire to carry the actual track power no? Looks like its working so just trying to understand.

Great idea

Fantastic idea.

Innovative, as usual....

Great job looking better Dan

Great fix. It looks much better.
