Beautiful work. Definitely do some "how to" videos. With the quality of your work and what you've shown so far, we would all love to see them! You might be surprised how fast your channel grows then...
Nice update, progress is looking good. I use the Golden for water as well, worked great in ditches, etc. That FOS crew shack turned out nice as well! Thanks!
So glad the algorithm lead me to your channel. What an absolutely gorgeous and prototypical layout! Please do a video on your asphalt, it looks amazing. Top notch all around!
@@ArborRails I'm so glad the algorithm led you to my channel as well. Thank you so much for the kind words. I plan on doing an asphalt video next weekend when I get back in town.
Nice update, Thomas! I've already made a sign for my lumber facility using Canva so thanks for that tip!! Love the water effects and the parking lots. Nice work! - Brian
Looks great. I thought I had done something wrong using Woodland Scenics water. After I put it in and then saw it had all bubbled up. I didn't notice it until about a week or so later. It is horrible stuff unfortunately.
Very nice update! Look forward to future videos and hopefully one on the parking lot you made with 1/8th inch foam, looks awesome! Very impressed with your layout and attention to detail!
Wow, outstanding beautiful backdrop! Very cool layout! I like the balance and blending you've accomplished. Excellent taste and modeling! I'm a first time viewer. I just subscribed. I'll love checking your layout out from time to time. I'm on my third and final signature layout build. Its 18 3/4" wide and 17 1/2' foot long. Put together like a upside down "C" shape, with a 1 1/2' foot wide, 3' foot long extension, that serves as a interchange and open car stageing. My Company West & Katy Industrail Branchline, fictionaly connects via at a junction, 1.5 mile off the layout from, Cougar Yard Interchange. Its a point to point industrial switching layout. I built the benchwork moduler, inspired by David Burrow's Santa Fe & Cat Mountian layout style benchwork. Company West is a independent rail contracter that operates and maintains the 12 mile line, (not to scale, imaginary). The line fictionaly connectes via junction with the MKT(Katy), set loosly in the time era of the 1970's, with a bit of 1980 eqt. making a early apperance. Its HO and freelance. Located in the fictional rural area and small town of Ink Falls, Oklahoma. I was born in, grew up, and still live in Oklahoma. My current residence today is Ft. Gibson, Ok.. The oldest town in the state. It was a Fort in Indian Territory during the Civil War. The Union Pacific R.R. passes through here too. Small town America is what I love! My hometown was Vinita, which the Frisco(now BNSF), and the MKT(now Union Pacific), crosses each other in the towns center, even to this day. Many childhood Summer memories are the inspiration of my layout. I'm in the track installation stage at this time. So before I get to the modeling and detailing, I'm in a search for every layout I can draw inspiration and ideas from. Well, Happy New Year 2025🎈🎉🎊 and God Bless. I'm glad you come up in my news feed. Take care, and Happy Modeling!😊
Wow, thank you so much for the compliments. I subbed back to your channel. I have actually been to your hometown before. I used to do storm chasing and have been to Oklahoma numerous times. Good luck with the layout build and I'll keep a lookout on your channel. Thanks again for the compliments and much appreciated for subscribing.

@montananorthern thankyou so much I love your videos and your layout so far is really looking nice i know your backdrop mess from following you so who would you recommend me to look up for that?
Your voice sounds familiar. Did you used to have a layout called The Nashville and Eastern? If so, what happened to it. I enjoyed watching you build it. Lol. The four floors of whores. Any who. Love this layout.
Beautiful work. Definitely do some "how to" videos. With the quality of your work and what you've shown so far, we would all love to see them! You might be surprised how fast your channel grows then...

Thank you so much for the kind words. The sticks are so much easier and hopefully the Canva site can help as well.
Awesome update, check out how I did puddles on my layout if you don’t like the woodland scenics product-might find it useful
@@amy-bradcoleman9734 I just subbed and will check it out. Thanks for the heads up.
Just finding your layout. Very nice! How big is the layout?
Thank you so much. It is a 16x24 building. Right now it is only down two walls. The bench work is about 16in wide.
@@montananorthern Thanks. You do very nice modeling.
@JohnS-jj9by very much appreciated

It will be coming up in the next few videos. Thanks for watching.
@montananorthern thankyou so much I love your videos and your layout so far is really looking nice i know your backdrop mess from following you so who would you recommend me to look up for that?
@daivdwalker2374 I would be afraid to say. So many variables involved.
Love the Cardella cars Local company which I see on the CSX river line daily Anybody know if they come in 3 rail O scale?
@@glennbourke1902 I am not sure. They are made by Otter Valley Railroad.
I really like your video. I like the centerbeam flatcar load with the moose, did you custom make that ???
@@ruaslacker no, I found a guy on Facebook that makes centerbeam loads
Would that be the Moose River Lumber Company ???
@ruaslacker yes it is. There is a guy on Facebook called "Columbus Trainmaster The lumber load guy". He makes hundreds of different loads.
@ Awesome… Thanks
@ruaslacker your welcome. Thanks for watching.
Really good! Where in Florida you coming?
@@nwgwc thank you very much. We are going to be in Pensacola Beach for a week.
@montananorthern I'm in Crestview...about 45 - 55 minutes from there. We went to Ft Walton Beach on Christmas Day. Have a great time!!!
@@nwgwc thank you very much
Saw Montana Northern and thought it was Neil's. You here in Wisconsin to?
@@conrail666 No, I am in Tennessee.
@montananorthern ok yeah you're layout looking good.
@@conrail666 thank you so much
I can send you one of our 3 fork truck sets, it is the same one the K&W Railroader reviewed. I'll send you an email about it.
@@whistlestopmodels205 fantastic, I would love to see one.
