Those tank cars look fantastic! It's great to see the staging yard up and running! Love your updates Mark!

Well, I finally watched your video. It was good to see how much work YOU accomplished all by yourself!!! However, I was happy to help install some backdrop and work on the staging yard with you. I'm glad to see you now have a good camera and monitor to view the end of the yard. Can't wait till YOU install the mid-yard camera. LOL. If my eyes don't start working right, I doubt I will attempt the drive to Casper this month, so you're gonna have to probably do everything yourself. I know you can do it!!!!! I would love to be there to mess things up for you, but...... we'll see what happens. Great video by the way!!!!! I ALWAYS enjoy your videos!!!!!

Roy will be missed. When you watched his videos it was if you were sharing great layout ideas with a friend. I also empathize with you. From my experience you don’t get much modeling done sitting in the doctor’s office

Everything is coming along pretty nicely Mark. 😊.

Nifty idea about the mobile control panel! And I also don't feel quite so bad about the rats nest of wiring behind mine. 😄

Wow, you've really been busy this past month! Thanks for the update. That backup camera is a great idea for hidden staging. And love the new CBQ Steam!

Nice update Mark. Panel and cameras looking good., that is a lot of backdrop and the cars turned out nice. Nice to not have medical appts that take your time and also nice to be doing better. Nice tribute to those from the model railroad community that has left us. Stay well and Happy September.

Great update, Mark! The staging yard looks fantastic, and should add a new dimension to your operating sessions. The same goes for the turntable at Thermopolis. It'll make running the Greybull-Thermopolis local SO much easier and realistic. Thanks also for recognizing departed icons from our hobby. Their work, and willingness to share their expertise, helped advance the hobby for all of us. RIP

Thanks so much for sharing. I live vicariously through your videos. Sorry for the loss of your friends.

Howzit Mark : Great prog-gress in respect of the Staging Yard and the electronic control thereof. As previous; it is gonna make a major difference to your upcoming October OpS; as will the recent inclusion of additional Locos / Rolling-Stock. Oh by the by .... * Dave-The-Slave * is the friend that every sloth-like MR-er should demand to have at one's beck-and-call ! So until the next time .... Lakka + Cheers For Now / Johnny 🤙

I like the backup camera idea. I might have to employ that in my small staging yard and maybe inside the mountain! It's always sad when we lose people we admire and look to for guidance and ideas. May they rest in peace.

Yard is amazing. Nice of you to pay tribute to the guys that died. 👍👍👍

Nice job, thanks for sharing. Dave

That's the most work I have seen you do, EVER!!!!! haha Maybe I'll try that with my Yellow Dumpsters, as you refer to them. Nah, that would make you happy, and I just am not able to do such a thing!!!! See you tomorrow about 11, and then I have to leave about 1:00 so I don't drive in the dark.

I couldn't see any of the video! As soon as it started I lapsed into a spontaneous jig!

Mark, some of the old heads at my club recommend auto brake fluid and lots of scrubbing. That works too. 😀😀

Use Walthers Solvaset. Way faster and no need to scrub. The letter come right off and you can use a paint brush to gather up the lettering and wipe it right off.

Have you tried using IPA?

I really thought there'd be more scrubbing ;-D

Staying healthy is number one! I have an afib heart, so I understand. Great work, and I always look forward to your entertaining videos and update on your magnificent layout!

Hay Mark : GREAT to hear that once you had sussed out that Dr. Frankenstein had given you the complete wrong ( ! ) diagnosis and then by going CTRL /ALT / DEL; you have successfully reset your * Real-Time Clock * ! ✊️ ❤ Yes; wiring IS tedious and repetitive but once correctly accomplished; * Playing Trains * as guided by referenced feedback info; the reward is OpS enjoyment ! OK : Enough of the convalescing and Road-Name swapping already .... It is time to apply thyself young man ! Stay Well / Stay Safe 🤙🚂

Glad you are doing ok. Great update and thanks for sharing. Dave

While not as pleased as you will be, Mark, I'm pleased for your medical prognosis, long may it continue.

I'm at a loss for words. Oh, I could say a lot, but will refrain from that. However, I am surprised that you actually have a heart, and that it is fine. Tee Hee. Once again, a NICE update video!!! I'll see you on the 13th, so be prepared to get a lot of stuff done that day. No slacking while I am there!!!! haha

Great update Mark! Good to hear your health is stable! Had nodules removed from my vocal cords a week ago. Thankfully no cancer! But it will be awhile before my voice is back to normal.

Glad you have your good health back. Great to see you operating with steam.

Very glad to hear that you're OK!!! Once again, another excellent video. I'm very appreciative that you explain, in detail, all the work that you put into the layout. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next video.

Nice update Mark. I am so glad the report was not accurate and that your check up with the Dr. was good. The work on the control panel looks great. To those of us that are not good with electronics, that would be enough to give me a bad ticker report if I attempted anything close to that. That will be a fine panel when it is done. Nice Cronkite Segment on the NJ house. Stay well and safe.

Great to hear you're physically alright. Now we just need that mental side checked! 😉

Glad all is well with your ticker.

Glad to hear and see you and the CB&Q are still ticking along. Sorry that medical reports can be misleading at times. 🤔👍👍

I really enjoy these steps back in time, which is "The Cronkite Segment." Quite a look at what got you to where things are today. It's a wonder you had time for anything other than unpacking, work, and packing up to move again. I'm glad to hear that the online doctor's report was a fake out. It sounds to me that it was a stress test in and of itself!

Thanks for the update, Mark. That control panel looks nice. Glad to see your heart is fine and sorry that the medical profession makes scary errors like that. I'm trying to get as much trackwork completed on my layout as I can before undergoing shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff some time this fall. Take care!

Happy Birthday, layout! Look forward to many more years of videos. =)

Congratulations sir on a beautiful and ambitious layout. Thank you for sharing all your hard work.

Great overview of all your fantastic hard work Mark! Can't wait to see what year five brings!

Happy 4th belated Birthday CB&Q/C&NW railroads in Wyoming. I can only imagine the great accomplishments the next 365 hold for you!

If you hate computers, then why do you use them to print and make your switch lists etc??? Tee Hee

As my late-Aunt used to say when she infrequently visited us from the UK : * My ..... But You Have Grown * ! Congrats Mark on 4 years of sterling commitment and quality work on the CB&Q / CNW In Wyoming; being across ALL aspects of Layout construction and MR-ing ! Your monthly update presentations are always informative and interesting. It was a privilege to have joined youse Guys for OpS during late-October 2023 ! All the best for your future endeavours. Lakka + Cheers For Now / Johnny 🚂 [ PS : I have asked Dave to investigate as to why I have not received payment of my agreed Appearance-Fee ... ! ] 😆

Without Dave, what would get done??? HAHA HAPPY BIRTHDAY CB&Q & CNW in Wyoming!!! That was a nice update!!!! You should really be nicer to Dave!!!!! haha

Happy 4th Birthday to your layout. What a masterpiece, it is truly stunning. Thanks for the update, looking forward to the next one.

Congrats on her 4th birthday!

Happy 4th Birthday to the layout! Thanks for the history and updates, you've made some amazing progress on such a large layout. If I am ever gonna be in Casper...😀

Nice Layout great Action keep up the Awsome Work.

Hope the med tests all show negatives!!!

Thanks a lot Buddy!!!! You wait. I have a camera too. Too bad I deleted some of those plumber pictures I had of you. All in all, it was a Great update, but too short. You should have got more done. As always, I enjoyed the video!!!! Now get busy and finish staging and all the scenery!!!!

Great progress!

Thanks for sharing your progress Mark, always enjoyable!

Looks like a great time!

Funny thing, we have those same wood folding tables at 4:10. I love the long section that's got some landscaping in it. It'll be fun to see the rest get to that point. Congrats on another successful ops sessions and a good month!
