Stunning layout amd garden scene. You have clearly put a lot of thought and time into your creation. Its amazing. Well done. And gees id love to be your neighbour!!!

Hello/ Gruezi, Hawley, How can you lay this curb on a side slope, the machine is far to wide, with the wheels for a roadbed on a steep slope or narrow valley? Do you first build up the ground to the elevation you want, then compact the base, pour the roadbed, and then build the slope after it. So essentially much of the landscape is all created? I admire your courage of putting a double slip switch in the middle of a tunnel! one of the most derailment prone pieces of trackwork and it'll be hidden. I hope that works. I know these are excellent turnouts, but that is one area I wouldn't cover; also nice to see trains maneuver through that. I hope you'll give us an update on how that works. The view from up on the double 8 area is spectacular!! What an amazing thing to get to build a layout many of us dream about creating, with miles of track to follow trains along. I appreciate all the tips on ways to build portals and bridges, with the sheet tiles and back splashes, and also tips for things like drainage between the tracks, one of those things people don't think about until it's too late. Do the drains collect the water someplace, or pour into existing waterways you have? Good source for water for your plants. Thanks for sharing the updates on this amazing railway!

Excelente video, me gustó mucho la historia! Saludos desde Colonia del Sacramento. Uruguay.

Good Job. 👍🏼

Question, Does anyone have any advice on how I can put the original rail clamps back without damaging the sleepers? Thanks in advance

Simply beautiful

What’s the address?

Another Great Project!!!

Very informative. Thanks for sharing. Looks like an incredible layout.

Can you run something like this on G scale Train layouts????

Awesome thanks

It is kind of inaccurate that the engines play the national anthem. The song "The Star-Spangled Banner" did not become the official national anthem of the U.S. until 1930, and the Driving of the Golden Spike took place in 1869.

Nice boat.

Cement is a great base. My 1/4” minus roadbed also required renewing annually. I staggered joints be 6-8” so rail joints were parallel only at switches. Prevents vertical and horizontal kinks and eliminated derailments. Very extensive layout you created. Well planned!

Congrats... on pretty much everything.

Simply beautiful!

Great video!

Any chance they will come with concrete ties?

Impressive and beautiful! Greetings from Canada. We didn't have that much snow all winter here in Toronto!

Your camera person should be fired. If you point at something, THE CAMERA SHOULD SHOW WHAT YOU ARE POINTING AT!!!

Rabbits are the worst diggers on my railway. I keep animals out of tunnels by installing covers on all the portals. It keeps rabbits, skunks, and raccoons from using them as their bathrooms or sleeping chambers! Of course you have a lot more tunnels to cover than I do.

Is that your engine, Dave? Are you new to the live steam hobby? If you are, welcome! I’ve been in large scale live steam since 1979! I was introduced into the hobby on my eighth birthday!

Amazing model! How will you cover the station to protect it over the winter months?

Thanks for watching! The Tunnel was built in the late 1950s.

A very smart railway the only thing I have to say is every time you go through the big tunnel there is nowhere for people to get out of the way like a real tunnel you would have cutouts big enough for someone to stand in to get out of the way, apart from that you must have spent loads of time and money on it 👍.

Congratulations, that's pretty awesome. Your dad would be proud.

on this layout they have spent more $ on tek screws to fasten the track down than i have on my whole railway track,,,, see "nikau junction" railway new zealand....timber ties ( sleepers) with slots and 30 x 10 mm track pressed in...cheap effective and rusts like the real thing,,,,,,, to me this aluminium rail looks fake as it stays too bright

I have always wanted a train like this

Who makes that double switch?

DANG!!!! That is a really long tunnel

Looking forward to this video. I’m hoping it will help me with my decision on a DCC system.

Awesome.😀

Awesome property and setup, I’ve done a lot of business with Accu-Tie and Enerprise Plastics for my own railroad

Very well made video

What size fits the LGB high speed Amtrak train

Fantastic. Great detail, and I enjoyed seeing the materials used. Could you show more about the switch and switch motors?

Awesome video! Nice work there and I love how you explain the process! Do you know if the Gary Raymond s mi scale flange wheelsets run good on your nickel coated brass track there? I change out all my LGB plastic wheel sets for Gary Raymonds wheel sets as I love the scale flanges as I’m not a big fan of the deep flanges and LGB wheels. My stuff runs well on LGB brass track, so I would assume that it would run OK on your nickel plated Brass track there. Just checking on that. Awesome work and please keep up the wonderful videos!

Great perspective and ninimal use of buildings. Great landscaping for thetrains to run through.

I love this idea, this is the next evolution to the age old foam support, that really offers little stability and no versatility. The tiltable support is a great idea.

Very nice! Love the music selections!

Nice job! How do they keep it so clean?

I like the product can't find it on the TrainLi site.

You didn't show anything .

What’s the rail joint gap spacing between the rails please?

Thanks for the demonstration. Does Tranli have these rail joiners for code 250 rail in stock?

thank you Hawley, Joanne, Kristen

Question is, how did You Tube know that I am going to a train show/flea market tomorrow looking for these items?

Wow ! Fantastic layout. What a work of art !!
