At 67 years;a old, doing all scales for over 60 yrs so far. I always's enjoy watching your videos. keep up the great work my friend.

Very impressive use of a small space. Well done!

This layout is bigger than a 4x8; just look at the pan shots.

Thank you for all your ideas.And thank you for sharing what you do

🤠👋🚂🗯

I can't believe it's only a 4x8 - the sheer amount of track makes it look four times that size. What is the minimum radius on the layout?

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this visit! Well done, Sir! An amazing amount of railroading in such a typically small area! And yet, it doesn't appear to be "crammed" together the way you have the scenes placed. I've added this to my Favorites for future inspiration on my own 16'x17' D&RGW layout where I'll be "forcing" a lot of town and city operation into small areas to make the overall "run" between them the dominating theme. Most of the scenes at the Monterey & Salinas Valley Railroad Museum's HO layout in Salinas, CA were built upon removable platforms like what you have described here. I took over scenery two and a half years ago and spend an inordinate amount of time repairing the scenes due to warping and clearance issues. Being new to your site, I'm hoping you'll speak to your construction methods in other videos. If not, let's talk! Some of our scenes are unbearably large and they are on my coal bucket list for remodeling in the future, provided I shall live that long!

A fantastic layout, great detail in the buildings and scenery, and an intriguing track plan! I like how you run the trains and switch the cars at slow speeds, too.

Yes teach something sir. I enjoy your lectures.

I enjoy your slow talking soothing voice. The layouts are amazing.

Nice. Do you have a track plan I can look at somewhere? Thanks

Looks great, just needs ballasting..

Amazing 4x8 ..... Great Job Paul 👍

Amazing! Wonderful!!!

Sure did. Thanks.

This is a 4 X 8?? In feet or yards? This is the largest "4 x 8" I ever seen.

Paul, you have a beautiful detailed layout designed and built perfectly for what you wanted…the nighttime shot was a complete surprise…great lighting…I see there are newer videos…will be catching up…

This is by far one of the best uses of a 4x8 space for a layout that I’ve ever seen. So much packed into a small space. Definitely inspiring me to build my own.

Incredible layout. That is a lot of interest on 4 x 8 space!

Very nice layouts. Thank you for sharing these wonderful tips with us.

You've put waaay more work into your N-Scale than I have - good for you! I saw a double-crossover section, so I'm guessing you are using Kato Unitrack. Mine is Bachmann Easytrack, so I don't get to have one of those. 😞

The night scene is a beautiful way to close this great presentation. Thanks to Larry for sharing this treasure.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and talent with us. A lot of great information and suggestions.

Bravo! Extremely well-designed layout and very informative video, I learned several points that I'll use today. Thanks

I love this layout. Lot's of operations in a small space and it looks convincing, not cramped.

That's a lot of stuff on a small layout.

That’s a lot in a small space without being a spaghetti bowl. 😳 Nicely done! 😎👍

So glad I found your videos. Looking forward to more... Chris P

wonderful modeling with a very high degree of believability

Can you tell me what the exact name is for the sheets of water that you used? Do you have a schematic for your HO scale layout? Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your attention to detail is absolutely amazing!! I absolutely love the shelf you made with the Viaduct Bridge!! I'm just getting into the hobby and I would like to do a 4x8 like this!

Great small layout lot of operation scenery and structures are also well done!!

Very nice! Really impressive, a lot of great information!

Excellent budget friendly, easy, and clever tips. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Truly an exceptional layout! So much detail and operational interest in a 4x8 space. Your motive power operates very smoothly through the switches and crossings. I notice you use a lot of Atlas turnouts and sectional track. What is the minimum radius of the curves on your layout?

Very nice. Educational too.

Great creative work!!! I was so intrigued by your layout that I decided to try to map your layout in AnyRail based on Marklin's C-Track. One thing caught my eye. While watching your video, the local enters the underground area either on the inner loop or the outer loop but **exits** on the opposite loop!! This means that the local crosses from one loop to the other. Very clever!! Did you model this with just a crossover piece of track or did you use 4 switches in an |X| pattern? Any reason why?

What I love about this are the multi-levels. Anywhere you look you see something different and interesting. Great work, Paul!!

All I can say is: I want one! 🤓Looks like just the right mix of operations to keep me happy. I'll eventually get back to work on my layout....

Your layout is amazing! It looks a lot larger than 4x8 and that is incredible. Your scenery and buildings look beautiful! 👍

It is hard to believe that this is a 4x8 ho layout, Mr. Young mastery of using scenery in small spaces really makes the case that you don't need a basement to build a beautifully detailed layout!

Thank you, inspirational plus!

Nice but get Rid of Texaco car

How large is this layout? Great scenery!!!

Incredible!!! Please share your layout track plan... What is the minimum radius?

You really cram a lot into a 4x8 space, beautifully decorated too. Excellent job.

Awesome work. Great scenery and a well thought out layout design. Great stuff. Happy Modelling

This is absolutely incredible. I was blown away by the sheer amount of detail that was put into such a small space, definitely could be used for some inspiration!

Fantastic layout with incredible detail! Best track arrangement I have ever seen for a 4X8 layout! Really great operations scenario possibilities!

Great layout and good story. Watched to the very end :)
