    “The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
    But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
    Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
    don’t be happy when they stumble.
    For the Lord will be displeased with you
    and will turn his anger away from them.
    Don’t fret because of evildoers;
    don’t envy the wicked.”

    As someone who had HO trains as a kid and up through High School, but now with a renewed interest in the hobby, THANK YOU for “remembering” what it was like to be a beginner. There’s a lot of good information on the Internet, but more of those people assume you have basic knowledge and up, and they completely forget that some people are coming in at this as complete newbies.(or very outdated experience.). I’ve watched your channel more than any others because of your approach and I thank you for that. Best of luck in the new year ahead!

    Hey Jimmy - I love all your videos - obviously done with a passion for the hobby, and also extremely interesting information, and very fun to watch. I am a long time gamer, as well as a railroader, and I have introduced some game like elements (random events, schedule encounters, etc) into operations (which at the heart are car cards and waybills). I am really looking forward to your next video, and maybe a book, on the subject.

      Good luck with all that you have spoken about.
      A place ( list) of companies to in one place where we can get things that are not available in the commercial market would be a God send. Maybe in the future you might have access to info about companies that the owners have died and others have taken up the banner. Ex: North West Short Line. They say they are in business but can't give a straight answer as to when you can get their produce. Is a year and a half too long?

Im REALLY looking forward to the new layout and that folding table project (sounds interesting🧐) Thanks to your channel and the hard work you put into your videos, i have gained the knowledge and motivation to start a layout too.

    Good to hear that you're hoping to design and 3D print some passenger cars. I've made some simple designs for Z scale, largely because of how small Z is. I've been posting my designs to Cults 3D for sale. I know you like resin for the detail you get, but I do hope you'll also give filament printing a shot with this effort. I'm eager to see what you come up with!

    The mini layout on a triple T-Trak module sounds great! Inspired by your recent t-trak videos (and the Model Railroader T-Trak series) I got into N-scale and am trying to make a switching layout in an 11"x30" space I have extra, using shorter rolling stock and one of the Kato pocketline steeplecabs as motive power. It'll be interesting to see what you do with the slightly larger space of a triple module

  • @stanleym2679

    Hey Jimmy! I haven’t had any time to reply to any of your videos… because I’ve been building an 8x12 train shed in my backyard. And I’m proud to say that you are my goto when it comes to info. I discovered your channel when I came across one of your dollar store videos…
    Great job.

  • @fuzzyworld3
    @fuzzyworld3 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video! A couple thoughts:
    1. Since you have had interest from people who want to purchase your current layout, give it some more consideration. Your reasoning is sound, but if you could get enough $ out of the intact layout to fund the purchase of new supplies for the new layout, you might be able to leave some of those "phantoms" for someone else to sort out, and save yourself quite a bit of time salvaging things.
    2. I think it's fantastic that you don't want to put any of your content behind a paywall! But the bonus stuff is just that -- a bonus! Also love your advertising concept!

    @gamefriendssk 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love all of those ideas! I thought of starting a tiny model shop where a sell homemade trains, but I didn´t know how to advertise so I never got into it, and the idea of the book on gamefied railroad operations, I would preorder right now! 😁 Happy railroading!

  • @AllanDygert
    @AllanDygert 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    GREAT Ideas! Looking forward to the growth and expansion. I am developing a “Cottage Industry” business and am now planning to take advantage of the future advertising opportunity. I Truly appreciate your humble desire to keep the viewers needs prioritized and never “hide things behind the paid wall’. Thank You for inviting us into your Train room regularly.

    What a great idea regarding a free tier of advertising. This will make the brick and mortar, mom, and pop shops accessible to a bigger clientele. We are losing so many smaller stores to bigger internet based ones.

  • @TheTrainFreak
    @TheTrainFreak 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Jimmy, your plan so far has been a huge success and I foresee phase 2 not being any different. As for myself being a small business owner that focuses on services for others rather than products, I would be interested in speaking with you on possibly doing something in the future. On the other hand, I will be looking out for when you release you book. Have a great day my friend! - Jason

    I just wanted to say the if your going to do adds, PLEASE don’t do non modeling products.

    • @JimmyProductions
      @JimmyProductions 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Honestly, if you want to make money in the space, you will take anyone up who is the highest bidder. However, knowing him, he will probably stick to mainly modelling products.

    • @C21L01
      @C21L01 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      If it’s Jimmy doing promos in his videos, that means the company who owns the product he is promoting have paid him to say something because they are “sponsoring” the video.
      If it’s those ads that just insert into the video suddenly - that’s TH-cam and Jimmy has no control over those ads.

    You have to love your hobby more. Take multivitamins every morning in a pill form and not gummy bears. That’ll give you the drive you need to view your hobby in a different lens rather than just your lens. We get your views that you’re fascinated by instead of a film view. 👍
