  • Dave Stewart and friends are building a huge O scale model railroad for realistic model railroad operations.
    **********************************************************
    The thousands of feet of track are now complete, all hand laid track, and controlled by a CTC control system.
    **************************************************
    The railroad was on the layout tour of the 2017 narrow gauge convention in Denver Colorado.The 37th National Narrow Gauge Convention took place August 30th through September 2nd 2017 in Denver, Colorado - Always a fan favorite narrow gauge convention location. The convention was held in The Marriott Denver Tech Center. This was one of the spectacular layouts on the layout tour.

      Thanks!! We are planning a show on HOn3 shelf layouts. I had an N scale shelf once. Only a foot wide, but 16 feet long. Anyone can fit that. AND Karyn is thinking of building a table. BUT in "T". I'm thinking Nn3. (Z)

    Dave and friends have done a great job. I met him shortly after A&O 1.0 was torn down and the new house was built. He has handlaid all that track, turnouts, and the scenery is tremendous. I haven't been there for the last two years, but I really enjoy visiting him and the layout. One visit he had me switching, first time doing that much switching in O scale, despite growing up around O scale, I was surprised how much walking around I had to do. My wife called me during this time and told me I had to come home for diner. I felt like the kid being called home for supper when he was having too much fun. Thanks for sharing Dave's layout!

  • @jeanneuzarhudson8207
    @jeanneuzarhudson8207 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good to see a working layout that needs landscaping. It is always a treat to see the finished layouts but to watch a layout still in need of scenery is also refreshing. As I look over two consists of passenger trains and their engines in 0-27 I am always laid-out by the real Proto.48 units. Having that scale closer to your vision line brings a new size to this already large scale. It is almost like looking a 1:20.3 at about the same height. Job well done, you guys. The dream catcher thing was really funny. Carry on with your most excellent pursuit of "Screwing Around". Greg and Jeanne

    Hey Toy Man: Like the Proto "O" Scale trains, they have really come along. Since you were 70 miles north of Denver, did you swing over to Greely Freight Station, in Greely Colorado. They have changed their name to the "Colorado Model Railroad Museum", and having been there in person, and wow, what a labour of love and track plan layout. Worth seeing. They run their trains like the real thing, and the train lengths are just as prototypical, hundred car trains. Maybe do a 30 minute show?

    By the way, a railroad engineer must be sure not to lose his 'train' of thought, or he might go down the wrong track. Thank you for very much another awesome video, and humorous too! What an incredible layout!! "3000 Sq Ft O Scale Model Railroad... David Stewart's Appalachian, and Ohio!!"

    Let's see, 70 miles north of DTC would be somewhere about, say, Fort Collins, maybe? And since Fort Collins is the "Napa Valley" of really good micro beer, I can understand how you may have "brew" on the brain. Great video, as always, dream catcher photo-bomb notwithstanding. Your videos have quickly become my favorites!

    I can't believe that even in so easy to work larger "O" scale hand-laid track, someone would still use "huge chunks of tie" instead of realistic throw bars, and not properly timber the crossovers.
