[@TheGomes412]

Awesome! love to see the use of plastic pellet hoppers on layouts.

[@Alcanman1]

Thanks. The Publix and Sun Sentinel warehouses were kit-bashed from 1 Walthers 'Magic Pan Bakeries' kit. The others were scratchbuilt from styrene

[@Alcanman1]

Thanks

[@rufec12]

Well done! Great detail!

[@Alcanman1]

Thanks. I used static grass applied with a Noch Grassmaster and then added some grass tufts.

[@MLWQC]

Well done!

[@KU4PC]

Great again Mal. Mike

[@Alcanman1]

Gracias / Thank you!

[@Alcanman1]

The GP40-2 is Atlas and the MP15AC is Athearn Genesis

[@johnniewelbornjr.8940]

Nice vid and a very nice layout, as well. You've captured the details and look of that area exceptionally well, especially in such a shallow space. Is the track plan based upon the old "Timesaver" plan published eons ago perhaps? I'd have to look it up to refresh my memory... Very impressed, for I was actually hunting for pics/vid of one of CSX's AC44CW's when I came across this. Thanks for sharing!

[@Alcanman1]

Thanks guys, your comments are appreciated

[@theshepkita]

how did you do the grass? it looks really good.

[@manolo602]

Great layout!. Are the warehouses scratchbuilt?. Want to scratchbuild a warehouse for my layout and need some hints and tips.

[@tammyphipps1698]

keep up the hard work and I following my dream of being a csx engineer

[@freymaster4449]

Who was the manufacture for your two CSX locos?

[@manolo602]

Do you use any railroad signal on your layout?

[@moghobbystuff]

Nice. Very neat layout. (Had my toes tappin' too at the start!) Be interested to know how you got that grass effect (around 1:33) - I assume it's 'proper' static grass layered?

[@Alcanman1]

Thanks. Yes, I used layers of static grass and added some grass tufts to create a natural, uneven look.

[@dep92]

How did you do your background? It looks great, adds depth really nicely!

[@Alcanman1]

The background in the still pics was done in Photoshop

[@littlepiggy6935]

looks beautiful, but just a strange sort of question to ask is where you got the weeds/grass by the tracks. I just want to say that this video is very realistic and well done such as the engine speed and scenery. Also just wondering where you got the freight cars. I am definitely subscribing and liking.

[@alcanmanuk3284]

+littlepiggy Thanks. I used staitic grass and grass tufts from Silflor/Mininatur. The freight cars are mainly Atlas and Athearn RTR

[@littlepiggy6935]

thank you!

[@alcanman1346]

The layout measures 9 ft x 15 ins

[@alcanman1346]

Thanks. The layout is similar to a timesaver plan. The loco plus 3 cars are staged on the lead track at the right hand end of the layout, train pulls into the siding and loco proceeds to switch out cars then returns with 3 new cars to the staging track

[@Alcanman1]

Thanks
