- Our new Lionel and MTH O gauge/scale layout is finally powered up! At the controls is a ZWL Transformer powering everything with Legacy and DCS command control systems hooked up.
If you missed our previous videos on the new layout or interested in how we got here, here are the past few videos showing the new build-

Nice to see you've completed the base of the new layout, Zach. The gateway to the centre will make access so much simpler. I'll be interested to see how you treat the hinges on the bridge section. Right now, the trains are running quite smoothly. So far, so good!
The big boy looks reallllll at home on those big wide radius curves
Awesome to have the new section of the layout running. I love the Stroh's cars, brings back many memories of nipping off of Grandpa's beer.😂😂😂
Awesome! The bridge is even cooler with trains running over it. I was thinking over how you could make the upper loop work
Hey Zach! U need a new Shot Glass Holder flatcar! With auxiliary Joint Holder!
Exceptional! It's good to see trains running Your track-work is excellent and it will be sweet as the rest starts coming together. I just got my outer main running today, but it is still has a long way to go. It's not nearly as clean as yours, though. Looking forward to the future updates. As always, a fine video.
Looking awesome, glad to see some action. 😎👍💯
Great running session
Very nice. I wish I had the energy to build and set one up like that.
Very cool Zac! Great to see the Strohs cars on the new layout! Please give the Caravelle some love!
Stroh's was good beer, back in the day. I grew up in Toledo, after our family moved from New Jersey. We always drove by the brewery on our way up to Tiger games. Great memories.
Looking good Zach salute to you.
🥃🍻
This is great! You've made decent progress since the last video. Honestly, topping your previous layout will be tough, but I suspect this new one will be worth the wait. Here's to you! Cheers
Lookin good buddy, keep it up! Can't wait to see how it comes out.
Dude that is such a cool layout with so much potential! Looks amazing with Atlas track. Great video & totally enjoyed watching it! 👍
Thank you! 🥃🍻
IT’S ALIVE!!!.
Zach like seeing csx engines 😎👍
Love the new layout build, the trains look awesome running on both layouts, good job, on the outside track that the big boy is on just off the bridge where the straight track connects to the curve there seems to be a hump, hope it doesn't cause any problems! Great video and Happy Memorial Day!
🥃🍻 same to you! Hope you had/have a great weekend! Yea, there are 2 little bumps on the swing bridge, but luckily hasn’t caused any troubles yet. Once the heavy steamers get on it, it gets a lil sag in it, and causes the tracks to get un level. Keeping an eye on it for the time being.
Triple track main looks great
Cool setup I like the new track
Looks great Zach!
Looking good Zach, enjoy your video's
Lookin' good, man
Looking good!!!

Always enjoy your work

Amen. We sure need it these days.
Nice work on the new layout I like the Strohs beer cars 🚂😃👍
Awesome job.
Love those weathered/graffiti garbage containers.
Love those CSX locomotives awsome looking trains nice N&s 👍hell it's all nice Zach 👍🥃 great job Happy memorial Day 🇺🇸
Great vidio and new layout
Thanks for the update-they keep me motivated to work on mine!
Ye Haw, Zach! Looks great with those slow giants on it.
Looking good Zach! Giving me inspiration to get moving on my layout again. Thanks for sharing! Chris @Cbtrainnut!
looking good TY
Great video!!
Nice!
Those 4 FEC loco's
Nice run and I see them KADEES!
Looks great and coming along.
I don’t know man? It’s not what I would have chosen to do but if you like it and that’s what counts.
3 independent loops.
Love it a lot
Zach, I really appreciate the simplicity in your new layout. It gives me hope of doing something similar on a smaller scale. If you don't mind me asking, what is the approximate size of it ? Thanks, Chris.
Looks great with the trains running. Are you planning on using that bridge up on the top loop? I know you’re only gonna be at like O-60 up there so sadly you wouldn’t be able to get shots of the big boy and other monsters…it would look cool being so high up though….congrats on getting the trains running!
Thanks! 🥃🍻 yes, that bridge will be used on the “upper loop”. Hopefully get it installed soon 🤞
Nice! What are the electrical units under the table at frame ~1:41? I recognize the vertically mounted silver turnout levers, but I wonder about 5 black buttons/knobs to the right and the green over red buttons to the left. Good work on all the videos. I appreciated many of your earlier videos as they chronicled your layout evolutions.
RFP box car thats a first for me. just missed a deal on a set of passenger cars
Sorry to hear on the passenger cars! I’m sure another deal will present itself soon 🤞 the RFP car is a somewhat recent offering from Atlas “premier”.
A Good Possible you Might have an Upper Level .
Did you try a piano hinge for the bridge?
I did not, just gonna go with what we have installed.
Love tour layout
Both of them
But the only thing that looks kind of weird is the ice cube trees
Just my opinion buddy just my opinion. Otherwise love everything trains and all !!!!!
😂🤣 all good! They’ve been called much worse 😂🤣 I like the “rice krispy” trees the best LOL. They are not photogenic by any means, but I made em a few years ago, and still enjoy them for their size.
Looks great! Do you notice anything different with the Atlas track vs MTH besides the cost? I do understand that you do not have any switches on the new layout and I do prefer the look of the Atlas track. Just curious. I also like the wide radius curves. They really make a difference visually with the larger rolling stack and engines.
Thanks!! Do notice a few differences. The trains run much smoother on the atlas track. But, the MTH track is still light years ahead on continuity. The atlas track needs more power feeders for operation.
Amazing layout are your get a Mailhouse turntable
That would be cool! But, no turntable of turn outs on this one. Wanted to stay away from em this go around. Hopefully able to get some other cool accessories on here we haven’t had before though 🤞
What, is there a new layout speed limit? 😢
It's gonna be had too see the other layouts when you are inside the new section
Saluuuuuuttttte
why not connect the layouts
What brand track is the new layout looks ready nice
Thanks! It’s atlas O track 🥃🍻
Are you running one TIU for all 5 tracks
Just curious
Currently running 2 at the moment. One for the 3 loops on the new setup and one for the 2 on the others have been thinking about consolidating em all onto one with the ZWL powering it, but am unsure of powering everything off the one transformer. Will have to see
there goes the electricity bill..
What brand or model is the Yellow U.P. passenger cars?
They are the Lionel 21” passenger cars
@@CountryBunkersTrains Thanks. They seem to long now.
looks good brother real nice
