You did a really good job on this layout. If I may make a suggestion to improve the bridge at the cliff face past the cabin. Get some straight limbs that will pass as logs. Split and notch those lengthwise so you can fit those to cap off the exposed plywood deck. It will then look like big logs laid horizontal on both ends of the bridge.
Nice work Bill. I’m well appreciative of your concept/theme of view blocks and view directional guidance. Smaller well done layouts create an opportunity to do just that… create. Mine is deep woods logging on an 8’ x 4’6” plan and work hard on maintaining a vision of what the natural terrain would have been when it was virgin forest. Thanks for showcasing your workmanship and your vision with us.
Hi ya Bill. I’ve throughly enjoyed watching this build. It’s a magnificent layout. And I look forward to seeing it at shows. Your insight and self evaluation was very interesting. Great running sessions. So many wonderful scenes along the way. Thanks. Take care. I look forward to whatever you tackle next.
I have followed this construction on this new layout from start to now I think it turned out absolutely great and it will be a hit when you take it to the shows 👍👍
Bill, your O scale layout is absolutely beautiful. I mean really, really well done. It amazes me how quickly it went together, especially given the high level of quality and attention to detail you gave it. I’ve got to know - what’s next?
Did you ever consider that if you extended the layout by another two feet, you’d also have to build another 500 trees! 😂 Well done Bill! Yours is one of the few channels where I have watched every one of the build videos, the other being Sampson Boat Company.
One of my best times watching your videos as you progressed. I am in o scale but with the big guys and got interested in th On30 stuff hoping I could consolidate sometime in the future. Really want to do a logging theme badly. I guess I will have to make up my mind sooner than later. Thanks for the great show. SUPER job
Very well done Bill. As for grades and transitions on the narrow gauge logging line they would have been rough and irregular in real life. Cheers and thanks for the excellent build videos.

Bill, I have always liked the HO layout with its old multi-building factory complex and the scenic vistas of the N scale layout, but this one is truly your masterpiece. The combination of standard and narrow guage, the rockwork and trees, and the structures and details all work together to create a truly rich landscape. Absolutely superb!
Absolutely the Best layout I have ever seen- this has been the most enjoyable series of videos of all the many various channels I follow- Thank you Bill for sharing this with a 76 year old former model train man- You are one of the Best if not the Best With your detail. Luv your abilities!!!!!
Greetings from Colorful Colorado, A Still in The Appalachian Mountains? No such Thing! Pure Fantasy! Bill. your layout has truly inspired me to build a still in the Rockies. After finishing it, I might model the Still on my layout. Like FredE wrote, you are "A true master craftsman."
Great job on this layout Bill. A true master craftsman. Bet you are looking forward to next train show. People will be so impressed with this layout. 🥇
It's been a wonderful ride watching this all come together and I can't wait to see what your next Model Railroad Adventure will be! A truly inspirational build!!
Looks awesome! Do you have pictures of the track plan in any of your videos? How many months/years did it take you to build it and roughly how many hours a week did you work on it? Thanks...

Just an awe-inspiring job on this layout, Bill. You are going to have a hard time topping this layout.
Dare I say, the best rock work bar none!

What a great overview of your layout. I've really enjoyed the entire build series and following the adventure.
Thx for the vid.
Let’s face it. Bill’s idea of another foot of space means another foot of 🌲 🌳 🌲
Looks awesome! Do you have pictures of the track plan in any of your videos? How many months/years did it take you to build it and roughly how many hours a week did you work on it? Thanks...
Wow. We’re pretty much done. I’m exhausted. What do I do now?

Where and when is your next show??
