Wow! So cool! The sheer size is just amazing. You can do so much with an area like that. Lots of great space for running big trains and it will be fun to see the progress, as you move forward. My basement is over 1600 square feet, but was subdivided by a friend of mine, before I bought the house from her. I thought about taking one room out, to make a 35x24 area for my layout, but I decided against it, to leave a room for my slot cars. Big curves are the way to go and you certainly have the space to really make some real sweepers. My outer main is O96 at one end and a hybrid combination of O96/O72 at the other, since I couldn't find K-LIne O81, anywhere. Either way, your layout is fantastic and I look forward to all of the updates. An excellent video, as always.
Great update, layout looks amazing, that is a great idea to have the passenger sets in a station on the layout. I feel like if trains are on the table you run it more vs having to get it off a shelf. Those backdrops came out perfect and you are 100% right so much easier to install those with no benchwork or scenery in place.
I must applaud you and your efforts Eric. It's really quite the layout thus far 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 Very impressive. Can't wait to see the continued progress...

You've got a nice layout started and I can't wait to see the progress. I like the broad curves. What size is your room? It looks like a 3 car garage with a side entrance. The flat black ceiling and garage door paint does a good job hiding those. You are smart to have a large yard for long passenger trains. The more trains you have ready to run will make your guest experience much more enjoyable. Your backdrops look great and the eye level video shots of slow trains are appreciated. TJ
Trainman how hard is it to put up the backdrop? And what did you use to put it up with far as sticking it to the wall that's my next project is to do backdrops
Hole E Cow...what a difference. 😃 It looks spectacular...I can't wait to see the elevated section. I live in Maine and can appreciate the beautiful backdrop. Well done ! 👍👍👍
Wow looking great!...thanks for showing all of this! Keep the videos coming...I have a super small layout but would like for it to grow so this is great information!

Thanks for the kind words!
I love your backdrops and I am doing a fall layout myself. What Backdrop Express item # are they?
awesome! I see you use both the Vynal and Cork roadbed. Do you have a preference? Does one work better than the other for sound control?
Looking Awesome my Friend.😊😊👍👍
Much more to come!
That's one impressive layout!
Appreciate it!
Very nice Eric. I like it. I'm embarking on my next layout currently and it will be nice to get some ideas from what you are doing as well.
Good luck with your project!
this is looking amazing!
Thanks again for your help!
I think you need more John Deere stuff, maybe some railking 😂 Great Video!
Always need more JD 😂
What a project! This is awesome!
Thanks, I'm enjoying it!
Very nice Eric. Congratulations.
Appreciate it!
I see a Boston & Albany Berkshire in the background there what do you think of the color?
Coming along nicely!
Thanks man!
New layout looks great Eric.
Thank you!
You need more farmall and international harvester cars 😜
Need more made in o scale!
Awesome!!
Glad you like it!
This looks incredible but help me understand something, what appears to be a 2-car garage conversion looks so much bigger.
It’s a 24x36 workshop with 3 garage door bays
Wow….awesome layout. Are you planning on ballasting all that?
Yup, eventually!
Umm. Do those train tracks have three rails?
Sorry, I’m hyper allergic and have to ask.
I hear ya !
Then don’t watch 😂
Superb!!!
Thank you!
