วีดีโอ

I was just musing to myself the other day when you would be posting something else. I really appreciate the reasoned tempo in the Toccata. Some performers make it an issue of "how fast can I play this". Such a wonderful organ, too. You all are very lucky to have it there.

PHENOMENAL as always Aidan! This is one of my absolute favorite works of Bach, and you really outdid yourself with this fabulous performance!

Cheers!

Where you added the new pieces, is that still on the 4x8 or did you have to extend it?

Granted your layout is smaller than mine and I stayed with the postwar type layout idea But on my layout I haven’t actually drilled and wire holes into the table just incase I decide to move or add anything. Which adding has definitely happened. All my wires just come up from edges of the layout near whatever it is for. Luckily by using the style where the red and black wires are surrounded by a gray outer shell (speaker wire I think it is) It actually ended up having a really cool look seeing the wires

Most engaging and informative practice I've ever heard. Great you recorded and are sharing it. Enjoyed all 55 minutes of it straight through. Impeccable interpretations, excellent registration and demonstration of a nice and not so well known Cavaillé-Coll. Gorgeous celestes indeed. A+ audio. Thanks.

the vibe of this video is great, i know it's been a year but i'll definitely be watching the full series

The sad brain music needs to go. It makes my head feel like something is dysfunctional lol. The rest is good!

Found your channel through this video and I really enjoy your narration and video style. As someone who is strictly scale models, seeing you build your "postwar" inspired layout was really interesting. Just binge watched the first 5 episodes, and your progress thus far is amazing, I can't wait to see what else come later down the line. Keep up the good work and you've gained a new subscriber from me! Happy Holidays~!!

I enjoy these types of trains 🚂 thank you for the video. Great last name,,,,,, same as mine. Happy Holidays 🌹🎀🌹🎄

The high prices of model railroading don't justify the rewards of getting into this hobby. Steer wide and clear of the peoples encouraging you to get involved in this money trap.

Amazing use of space. Is there an over head shot of the layout looking down on it

Love the Northern, new sub.

I do love my Berk, but the Northern is a beast to behold!

Cool Video. Just subscribed to your channel 👍👍🔥🔥 OUTSTANDING engines🔥🔥

Thank you not only for the tips but your outlook and philosophy, run the trains, share the experience, 4x8 is plenty of space, saw dust adds ambiance .... I am going back and watching the series from the start. Is you track O or O-27?

Nice! new sub.

Enjoy the hobby. I used to say there is never enough room. One day I realized creativity always seeks a outlet and several layouts resulted one never remaining long. with a new beginning. This creation we live in is for one week . Ponder that, a day unto God is as 1,000 years onto man and then all of creation is done away and a new world is made. If a spouse or relative thinks your obsessed with your creation destruction and recreation tell them you inherited it .

One reason I'm a fan of MTH's Railking locomotives, you get a modern locomotive with all the bells and whistles (please excuse the pun), but can still negotiate the tight curves of a traditional style layout. Speaking of, it's nice to see a traditional style layout for a change when all the buzz seems to be about doing big (and expensive) scale layouts. Have an O-27 one myself, have a tiny train room and had the make the most of the real estate.

Always loved the Santa Fe Northerns! I remember first seeing them in a book

Great additions

I think your layout is coming along well. I like what you have done so far. You have shown us that a good O gauge layout can be built in a small space. Keep us posted on your scenery progress. Thanks for sharing.

I've been setting mine railroad for the last 3 months. Running two trains. Been fun. I got it from my dad in 1954. I waa 8. I'm now 77. Same train

This is simply amazing

Amen

Love this series! You have inspired me to build my own layout!

Please lose the "music"!

This is awesome. The layout is looking fantastic I can’t wait to see what you do to the layout next

St. Marks I live about 10 minutes away and I get to play that organ a lot

This channel is really underrated

Bless your family 😀

Bravo 👏 👏 👏 Nice tempo. Great articulation. Thank you for sending a message from Bach's memories.

To hear these sounds and SEE the delight on your face is wonderful truly wonderful !

Beautiful piece.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Amazing Music and Amazing organist 😉🦋🐉🦅👍

Très belle prise de son

Marvellous sound, well registered and excellent tempi. Maybe some more articulation in the prelude and terracing dynamics might bring out the majesty of this piece; then in the fugue the same can apply especially in the solo manual sections. But over all a steady and convincing performance 😊

I gotta build a tunnel on my layout now too!

I’m not even a Lionel train hobbyist, but these videos were so charming to watch that I binged the whole playlist 😅

There's always a certain degree of fascination with a tunnel, and it's not a postwar layout unless it has a tunnel. You've done a very nice job on yours.

I thought it was about building a layout. I must have pressed the wrong button.

You really did such an amazing job Aidan!! It was an honor to help and I'm glad I can watch the slides now :D

Great addition for the Vigil and the arrangement is superb. The Schola singers are masters of this music - it is great when traditional chants can have new life with modern arrangements and interpretations. I will keep this in mind for next year. Thank you, Aidan.

How stirring and marvelous - I love how the chant introduced the penultimate Easter Hymn. The stops you chose for the hymn were majestic!! Well Done.

Thanks for the history, and the background information. I saw there you had a pliers with a groove there near the tip. Did you make that part of the tool or did you buy it that way? The only ones I have bought were former long nose pliers and then don't have the strength, but they do work to fix the end of the track so the pins fit well. As for your track cleaning, just be aware many of the older and some modern Lionel use magnetic wheels on the engine or have DC can motors in the power trucks. They will pick up any metal particles and get into the gears and the motors and ruin them quickly. The better cleaner to use is scotch brite and pads like them that are not metal, and then vacuum up or wipe up well any cleaning residue..

What a beautiful performance! Thank you for this video!

Thank you for your very rendition of the Brahams. I am enjoying your artistry very much. It is such a gift for you to share the qualities of "the vocation" - words and an elan we all aspire to acheive. Congratulations on your beautiful family and your sweet baby.
