All, I didn't make this video asking for a debate on the state of our housing market, I made it based on factual information, and with a genuine desire to inspire younger modelers to model, and show that there's ways to do so, no matter what stage of life you're in. I would encourage everyone skeptical regarding my comments on our current housing market to check out the article below from CNBC regarding the current state of the housing market. Please educate yourselves, and understand that any derogatory comments you might have regarding young modelers, and the places they're able to afford to live are not a productive part of this conversation. Let's inspire young Modelers not scare them away! ❤ www.cnbc.com/2024/03/19/why-home-prices-have-risen-faster-than-inflation-since-the-1960s.html
You are a wonderful dedicated asset to the future of the hobby, sir! This reminds me of an older video I happened across, where this club built a configurable freelance freemo set up that would be a great project for someone facing the current housing situation. The way they set it up you could use a portion of all segments depending on the circumstance. It was a terrific, innovative idea!
Love the Falls River RR Alco and Batavia theme. Lockport has some cool aspects as well…engine house and yard, upside down bridge over Erie Canal, and old passenger station that was a restaurant but just a shell now. Looking forward to more. GVRR is a cool short line to model!
A home layout and a club layout going on at the same time. Too cool. Hey, you should make a video about how you found a club, or if you already have, could you point me in the direction of where to find that video. Thanks
Wow, Other Paul has a heck of a workspace. Overhead cranes and everything😲. Looks like these modules were built right, and off to a great start. Nice backstory and intro to the shortline. Looking forward to more.
FreeMo is such a neat concept, I just participated in the Syracuse setup this year and it was a blast. We just started a club for FreeMo down near Binghamton.
This is a really cool concept to have a coordinated group build a small Free-Mo layout which would presumably be attached as a branch or as part of the mainline to a larger Free-Mo layout.
Great to see! Would love to know more details on which standard you’re using and delve into more a more detailed explanation of the construction as you go along! Looking forward to the next installment
Great stuff Paul! Looking forward to seeing this project continue for y’all! I definitely want to build a freemoN module someday hopefully soon, when I have a bit more space to store it when it’s not being displayed. Unfortunately I am a victim of the beginning of your video, I’m stuck at my parents house until I can figure out where I’ll be landing and can start really making some money for rent! Thanks for sharing man!
@@edcvgp9 thank you! I shot the photos and edited them myself, I've got a video on now to do so on my channel. Had them printed at the local Walgreens.
Just got done watching the video that's going to look good when your done and is the mods going to be setup at any of the train shows when ready and I also seen 1804 here in Lockport in the yard switching out some cars
Looks like an interesting layout once buildings and scenery are there. I don't see Mr. Rubino helping? Hoping I get to meet you at the club open house.
Free-Mo is not a club. It is individualls oŕ a group getting together to share knowledge. SOKS has been just that for 20 years. Maybe we'll see you at a setup 😊. P.S. nice wood shop 😮 is half the battle. What is supporting the Styrofoam? It will sag without support.

@@NYSW3636 very cool! I hope to be involved with the set up in Syracuse next year.

@@woodalexander thanks Alex, I thought so too! Perfect opportunity to put a proto throttle to good use too! 😁
@@FGLKPaul Definitely. ProtoThrottle will really give you the feel of moving some tonnage around!
Nice! Your channel got suggested and I like it, looking forward to the new project. Enjoy! 👊
@@GenxDiorama glad to have you along!
Great to see! Would love to know more details on which standard you’re using and delve into more a more detailed explanation of the construction as you go along! Looking forward to the next installment
These will be North American Standard for sure. I can get a little bit more info on construction for sure.
Wow thats gonna be sweet and a challenge for ya, I'm sure youll do fine with working on both layouts. See ya twomarow at the club great video also.

@@NScaleTrainBoy Glad you enjoyed! Hoping this video inspires more people in the same situation as you. Modular is a great way to keep modeling!
Awesome backdrop where did you get that made or purchased it thanks
@@edcvgp9 thank you!

Very nice. How did you build the legs? Would like to see more detail on that. Thanks for sharing.
I can try to document that in a future video for sure.

He isn't building a module himself but he's been keeping up with the project.
@@FGLKPaul He should be participating ! I want to see it at some point.
@@cattaraugustonawanda4426 I've told him he's more than welcome to lend a hand, and I'm sure he will at some point. Haha

Baskin has been offline for a long time. The tracks were overgrown and rusted.
@@cp368productions2 I've seen cars in there as recently as a few years ago. 🙂
