Great layout. What’s the height from the floor to the top of the foam? I am moving from Cali to Washington state and just took apart my old layout, which was a similar size. Plan on recycling the track and bridges as much as possible. 28:44
It is about 44 inches. Same height as my last 3 layouts - which is higher than my original 2 layouts. High enough to work on and see everything from a good view without looking straight down at everything. Perfect balance between workability and viewing pleasure
I watched your first layout with the lumber mill and your trees and what you were doing and talking about that extension and now seeing this one is just now wow great idea good for you. You’re gonna have a nice turnaround in that island section. Nice big loop. It looks a lot better
Did I see a Steve Wallis cutout in your basement kitchen? Glad to see you’re starting over with the layout. I’m tempted to do the same, but I’m going ahead with the existing one for right now.
The new setup sounds like it's going to be sweet! Instead of spending all that time sanding your track after painting it, which can actually cause you shorting problems, try masking off your rails with pinstripe masking tape before you paint. Then all you have to do is give it a little wipe down with some alcohol... And you just keep on doin' your fun little intro and let them haters hate!... Maybe throw in a little dance to REALLY get them goin'!🤣😉
crazy azz,glad to see a new direction. i just left from working on the layout extra extension and track work. my wife said waaaaaaait for it on your intro🤣😂🤣
Hia Sam well the into very different lol glad you still crazy lol Layout looks a brilliant size mate You worse then me for changing your layout lol ATB matey take it easy Sion
Once again you had me going on the changing of the intro, because someone has no fun in them. Big plans for a big layout. Sorry you had some problems with the last layout. The problems sound like they will be taken care of. Can’t wait to see the end results. Thanks for sharing.
Problems are always going to happen, each layout we make progress and rid ourselves of old problems - BUT new ones always come up, lol. Much love to you!!!!
I will say, the side of the layout near the shelves, it looks like you have a 2x4 laying on it's side. You may want to consider standing it up vertical on that run. It will be less flexible, more stable, and stronger for support. If that is not what I'm seeing, then please disregard! Thank you for the update!
I don’t know your environment, might need to leave a few joints unsoldered for expansion and contraction. May seem like overkill, drop a feeder from every piece of rail that is not a switch. One is none, two is one. Meaning redundancy is key. Also test as you wire, to avoid any issues. Much easier to fix right away, than “ nah I will do it later”
PRR / Chessie and all of the combos involving those 2, as well as regional rr's that would interchange/make their way onto the trackage Lackawanna, NYC etc
Did imrr for real say he doesn’t like your intro? Reason I ask is because I told jimmy off from diy&dig about charging people money for his channel. He was not happy lol I GOT YOUR BACK BRO. Us little channels gotta stick together !
He commented on an older video and said something like “this is the stupidest shit I have ever seen” or something like that. I never realize that Jimmy charges people, is that accurate? What did he say? Lol? I like his channel. I feel like he could have a much better and bigger layout, but for some reason he does not, that’s just my opinion. I
@@TheNorthwestWind I said for the 5$ or whatever I do not like what you are doing. There are kids or other people I said that should put their 60$ a year towards rolling stock vs making you rich. Fifer has said he will never charge ever and has said same things on his videos. These guys both have 50k subs. Jimmy has good editing and I know it’s catered to a beginner which is all good. But the charging I absolutely hate that I cannot stand it and I know I know for sure people are paying him for publicly available information that is no charge everywhere else. Old magazines, TH-cam, etc. I’m no 50k fantastic channel like fifer or whoever that’s got good information for the people that need it. But no one else suggests pay me 5$ to watch me drink coffee. I try to stay out of politics but it had to be said and it obviously got under his skin based on his response.
Yeah, I kind of agree for sure. By the way, this is me, just my other channel. I have this channel for my Adventures, and then the train channel for my trains, obviously. I do enjoy his videos, and Mike’s videos. But I also dislike Them both, and their layouts for different reasons. Not saying I dislike them or anything I’m just saying like the way they do things or their layouts in particular. Everyone is different, I suppose, but I can definitely see what you are saying, and I’m sure people hate me as well, because I do things in an unorthodox manner and scream and shout as an intro and I don’t build bench work with 700 pounds of materials. I rub people wrong a lot of ways, especially the old people gatekeeper types on Facebook. They destroy me to shreds every time I post anything, but the overwhelming consensus seems to be positive, so I generally try to stick to that and at the end of the day I just do whatever I want anyway because I don’t care what people think. I think constructive criticism always has to be considered and negativity even if it’s mean might still make a good point, but you have to read between the lines and decide who is just ignorant and who is actually trying to learn something or make a point that is worth considering or has merit
@@TheNorthwestWind we are 1000% in full agreement. It’s 5% negative comments. Another one for ya I got a shout out on. Just couple weeks ago. I said hey IF You want a real life train there you want 2 on front, 1 in middle, 1 on end or 0. So extra info. It’s all kato locos and Kato coal cars. Fantastic. I do believe based on his grade he requires more than one engine to get up the hill. Perfect. All I said was 1-2-1 or 1-2-0 isn’t how they run. It would be 2-1-1, 2-1-0 or even 3-1-1, or only locos on headend. They would never do 2 in the middle. I said I work for cpkc and the reason they can’t have 2 as mid train is because the way the air system works. And I even said IF you care. And there were others who also pointed this out. He obviously didn’t enjoy this pro tip. I love grades I love his layout. But I wish wish wish he would mellow out isn’t the comment section supposed to be a discussion or conversation or sharing place? or should we only ever say NICE LAYOUT. Whether we mean it or not. I am ok with all skill levels of people. I am not a pro, and I am not a clic type person. All are welcome. If you really hate your intro , skip ahead 40 seconds? Sheesh
Great Train Show
Cleveland, OH it was awesome to meet you today
YOU GUYS TOO! CHECK OUT MY OTHER CHANNEL - THE NORTHWEST WIND

We all learn by rebuilding, the cost of materials is a byproduct. The experience is irreplaceable. Thanks for letting us follow your journey !!
you said it best!

DIdnt realize you had a layout too
The new setup sounds like it's going to be sweet!

Good advice on all accounts, the pinstripe sounds like it would save a lot of time. The dance might have to happen, lol
I've found that spraying a bit, then wiping the rails off right away with a paint thinner-soaked rag works pretty well too.
that does too, for sure
👍🤠👍 looking for to following your progress (again) 😆
thanks for sharing
Cheers my friend! thanks for being here!
Bigger layout needs a bigger Intro. Keep it up my friend....
You know me too well, much love

The Power Of Model Railroading The Best Part what to Do What To Do.Think Carefully This Time.
amen
KEEP THAT CRAZY ENERGY! Love your intros my dude, hyped to see how this new layout goes. 🤟🏻 also weekly updates would be cool

Is the first video I watched of him, and when I heard the intro😂
I hope you enjoy it lol
I did😂
Im so glad lol, much love to you

Best intro ever
trying to make you proud
I will say, the side of the layout near the shelves, it looks like you have a 2x4 laying on it's side. You may want to consider standing it up vertical on that run. It will be less flexible, more stable, and stronger for support. If that is not what I'm seeing, then please disregard! Thank you for the update!
Good advice, its framed well though. One day i'll show the benchwork construction and wiring in a video
Loved the intro
It loves you too!!!!
More showing how you do things please
i will do so for sure
Whoo I like it. You can now say it's a coupler.
good call
Cant wait to see how this layout turns out!
progress is being made!
I don’t know your environment, might need to leave a few joints unsoldered for expansion and contraction.
May seem like overkill, drop a feeder from every piece of rail that is not a switch.
One is none, two is one. Meaning redundancy is key. Also test as you wire, to avoid any issues. Much easier to fix right away, than “ nah I will do it later”
All good advice my friend!
Which railroad(s) will be featured on this one? PRR, nyc, etc
PRR / Chessie and all of the combos involving those 2, as well as regional rr's that would interchange/make their way onto the trackage Lackawanna, NYC etc
@@TheTrainMane so 1967-chessie? No Penn central?
a mix of all
I Have a Layout I Have Been Little By Little And Am Happy With The N Scale still Workin On the Track By The End Of May the Track Should be Complete.
start making videos
Brilliant! And don't you dare change the intro or you may loose a subscriber
I will honor you
