All of this work just to tear it down?

Glad to see you did some work on your railroad. It's about time!!! HAHA I enjoyed the video, and as always, another excellent job of video production!!!! Keep working on the Cody branch, and soon you'll have it up and running. Then you can finish the Lander Branch. That will be so much fun!!!!!

Mark, that is why I model 1967 no steam locomotives and out of quarter drivers. I also quit buying on eBay I’ve had a lot of NIB that had been tampered with.

If you would like me to somehow send it to you, I have a picture of 5502 down here in the Joint Texas Division of the FW&D in the Teague Texas yard.

Layout looking good Mark and looks like you got stuff done, so sorry about the almost new house but I was afraid of seeing this layout start to be taken down., We can still enjoy this one for the time being., stay well and thanks for the update.

For not getting much done, seems like you got quite a bit done. Wish I live closer.

thanks, as usual. For operating session coverage is it possible to to set up several cameras and record the entire session? Easier to include interesting portions.

Nice update. Lots of maintenance for those model steam locos mimics the prototype. :) Is your layout movable if you move?

lay your tape on a wedge so it faces the camera.

I feel your pain with the locos. I obtained 2 CB&Q brass locos from an auction. The prices were great, but neither one runs. I'm currently putting DCC in the Hudson, the mechanism works fine. Who puts 150 Amp service in a house these days? I have 200 and wish it was 250. And I only have one electric vehicle.

Very nice update !!! Wow what a difference 😊 👍👍 !!

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the update Mark. Fascia looks great. And I am ALWAYS looking for things I put in a special place so as to not forget where they are.

Thanks for another great update, Mark! And to answer your question, no, you are not the only one who leaves stuff laying somewhere and then not being able to find it. I have been training myself (no pun intended) to be disciplined specially when it comes to my cell phone. Take care. Scott

You're not the only one who misplaces items and spends long periods of time looking for them, believe me.

Can you do a tutorial on the changes you are making Operations Pro, I like to understand how use loads better.

Congrats great videos love your layout just recently found your channel and subscribed would love to have that car and have a wonderfull day.

Hay Mark : Losing a bowl of screws is a problem ? If you are a gambling man; I will happily swap you with the affliction of * Walking Into A Room ... Only To Be Confused As To WHY You Are There In The First Place * ? ! ( PS : For some strange reason; this affliction does not present itself in respect of ANY Train-Room ) ! Nice to see ongoing Fascia + Backboard + General progress at Thermopolis. Regards / Johnny 🤙🚂🇿🇦

Just look at all you accomplished without my help. Think I should stay away for several months at a time. Oh wait, I won't be there to help for 6 months now. You should have the layout completed by then. However, I plan to visit for the OP Sessions, but that's not work sessions. You're the lucky one!!! How many of those cars from way back are still rolling on this layout?? Enjoyed the video as always!!!! Nice Job!!! See you at your OP Session.

Very nice, Mark! we need you on the show again!!

I'd love to have all the time back I've spent looking for things I've absentmindedly set down. I think my layout would have been completed by now! Love tunnel portal and enjoy your op session Mark!

Enjoyable as usual. I’ve never hidden anything in plain sight, at least not in the past few days. PT coming along well, I may even be able to walk well one day. Thanks for doing this. The detail you provide is excellent. See.you next month.

You're not alone on placing screws in plain sight

Great update, and great progress! The Mike looks terrific, as do the portal, fascia and staging yard. Can't wait to see it in person later this month. And Walter, I'm digging your paisley tie! 😉

At least you found the screws… more time than not, I never find lost parts…..

Looks like you got plenty done Mark. Cutting, shaping, painting and fitting those panels takes time but they look great. The portals turned out good, so you got a lot done. Have a good operating session and stay well.

aNOTHER sUPERB mONTH..... tHANKS wALTER c//////

I would be giddy with delight if I got even half of what you did this last month done on my layout!

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
