Thanks for everything Jason. You are one of the channels that has inspired me on my own layout, but the amount you have achieved in a much shorter time is making me look bad!!! ;-) Cheers
I don't mind you rambling, because your right. I like hearing some model train filosofie every now and then. Other then you I have a set track plan. But still do hop from one project to the other on my little layout. Partly because I feel like it. But also because many things are connected and do need some thinking and planning.
Well, I can't believe it's been five years! This is really an amazing accomplishment. I hope it can end up in the museum one day; it definitely deserves to be seen by the public. I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops in the next five years. Thanks for all you do!
Yeah, the area from the Quad Cities northward is pretty interesting along the Mississippi with all the tall bluffs along the river, the interesting layout of the towns with the steep terrain there and usually train tracks running along the water.
Your comments about Iowa/Illinois and the Mississippi River really hit home. Many of the scenes on my layout are based on the Mississippi River around Savanna, Illinois. Keep up the good work, I really enjoy your videos
Great video, Jason. Loved seeing/hearing your thought processes and how you're moving ahead. Really appreciate your sentiments at the end. Too many forget it's a hobby, even if you're documenting your hobby on youtube or any other public forum.
Jason, I knew your layout was something special when I saw you first building it, it was so small compared to what it is now. And I knew it would be special because of the structures you were making for it and the care you put into the landscaping. Here's to another 5 years!
What an amazing amount of modelling you've done over the 5 yrs Jason, superb. You make some really good points about how to approach this hobby. The jumping around and building in different areas, is some of the best advice people should remember. I try to do that approach, as you said, your techniques change the more you do it, so varying your work across the layout brings it all up to the same level. That's an amazing gesture to donate your layout (in future) to the museum, very generous of you, giving the general public a chance to see your stunning work. All the best and keep up the great content. Brian
Congratulations on five years Jason, the layout is looking great. Inspiring others and myself to progress their layouts, lots of great ideas and scenery techniques that you share. Many thanks for sharing how you do it. Been watching for year’s looking forward to many more. Great advice.
Five Years, well, that is quite the accomplishment! Congratulations Jason! You deserve a pat on the back! Just be careful! I have enjoyed watching Your progress! Thank You for taking the time and effort sharing with Us here in tubeland! Take Care, Be Safe, God Bless, Later
My grandson (12) always enjoys seeing what you're doing. We are over in the UK. He's just started building a 009 guage layout and has been mocking it up with cardboard. He's been posting his progress on his Dylington Model Railway channel, along with videos of our OO guage layout. He's been doing stop-motion animation on some of his videos using the layout to tell his stories, such as the Dukes of Hazzard visit Dylington video featuring a car chase through Dylington. If you get a chance, why not give it a watch, and let us know what you think. Another great video...cheers for 🙂👍
Jason, great 5 year update, and what a 5 years its been, and vision for the future. Thank you for taking me on your journey, it had been amazing, and you havbe really helped my model making, weathering, and general painting techniques soooo much. Hopefully one day your layout will be in that museum, and it would be awesome to come and see it. Please keep the videos coing, and cheers, stay safe, Michael
Congratulations on your 5 year anniversary, Jason. It's definitely an incredible layout. Your layout is definitely museum quality. The buildings are lifelike in miniature. I can't imagine the time and money it took to create your miniature world. Awesome work, Jason.
Great video as always. It's absolutely amazing how you envision what you want and bring it to life. You are an amazing modeler and artist. You inspire me to be better.
Cheers Jason for another great CLINIC. I’ve been in this wonderful hobby for many years, and what you say rings true to the way I construct a layout. I move around rather than concentrate on completing a section then starting the next phase. Most of my N Scale layouts have been made portable for exhibition purposes, but now I’m building a layout for my own satisfaction. I take a lot of inspiration from your videos and I am learning new stuff from them all the time. Thanks so much for sharing your journey, and I look forward to traveling further with you and your teachings. Cheers - Bruce
It’s a beautiful layout Jason. It genuinely looks like it could be a movie set. What would be really cool is if you had a late model steam locomotive or perhaps an old FP7A with two or three passenger coaches.
When I first started building a layout, it was "Let's see how much track I could put in an area". Over the years, and learning a LOT from you, I now focus on what I wanted to recreate. Simple track, lots of scenery and none of my buildings are glued down. On my modules, that's different, about 50 % are. But on the layout, as I find new structures (from you, FOS, BEST and others) I move them around and add new. Wish I could have met you in Greeley many years ago when we passed through (learned about you a few months afterwards).
Jason, The stone viaduct that you cut in half lengthwise, did you build it? Do you have a video to show your build? What is it made of? I want to build a viaduct like this but don't know where to start, so any help is appreciated. Thank you, and congratulations on five years!
Great video, Jason! Amazing talent. What camera do you use to video your kit builds for us? I've tried several different cameras from GoPro to my wife's Nikon... I can't get them to focus up close like you can.
Jason, I'mout of my mind... Everytime I come up a plan to to complete a section... I end up adding and changing everything to the point of tears. I mean this is just a 9 × 5 layout. If I was faced with your size layout...!😂
so wish FOS would make some N stuff. Love the buildings, but im a 56yr old newbie,..starting with N so i can build a bigger landscape. Of course with that, limited on many things.
Didn't watch any of your videos for a while. Watching this one was kinda different and I was musing why. You've decided to use a different music! Great stuff as usual, though.
Yep, modeling what you know, even if it’s been subconsciously, makes sense. Congratulations on the layout’s fifth anniversary.
Super work, loving your new waterside ideas
Congrats, man. Well done. Your beautiful model buildings have certainly inspired me. I only wish I was as talented. Here's to the next five.
Congratulations an amazing build 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your layout is very good and i am really interested in the structures more also so I really enjoy your videos. Thanks
Thanks for everything Jason. You are one of the channels that has inspired me on my own layout, but the amount you have achieved in a much shorter time is making me look bad!!! ;-) Cheers
Jason you should write children's books, you have such vision, and imagination. Such detail!!!😊
I don't mind you rambling, because your right. I like hearing some model train filosofie every now and then.

Just an awesome layout and the variety of buildings truly amazing thanks for inspiring all of us rail modellers 👌😎☕️

Turn those arches into subterranean businesses. Make one a pub called "The Hole in the Wall". Great progress you have going.

Looking so good Jason, just awesome. I love that your vision is to have this as a museum. That would be so cool! Cheers Jason and congrats on 5 years!

Amazing work 👍👍
Congratulations 🎉 😊😊😊. I can’t believe how big it is! Every time I see it it’s just a little tiny bit more amazing!

Really cool. 👍
Congratulations Jason ! I see influence from George Sellios. If your ever in Baltimore let's get together. Just saw Jeff Grove yesterday

Hey Jason, who makes the BN caboose? I have one of the BN locos so it will be interesting to see how the weathering etc comes out
