    Beautiful layout, best scenery backdrop that I have ever seen, AND the BEST LAYOUT, and I'm an old timer. BUT the blue tape on most of the cars really takes away from all that. You lose most of the realism that you're trying to show.

    Apparently it wasn't universally popular, but I loved the cathedral. I also loved the Santa Fe "Warbonnet" locomotives. I was lucky enough to ride the Super Chief from Chicago to LA in 1958. It was a great experience that I vividly remember to this day.

    I'm only a few miles from there but only visited it once! Sadly when I expressed interest in becoming a member I was met with an attitude of don't bother me from a member so I've never been back!

    Thanks for posting. I was in Florida on a short vacation about 3 or 4 years ago. I made a point to stop by and see the layout during regular club hours, and it was well worth the trip. This was a fantastic setup, and the members who were there when I was were very friendly. They took time to talk to me, answer my questions, and even offered me lunch. If I ever get back down there again, I will certainly make time to see the layout in person once more. Thanks again guys !!!!!

    What is with the blue tape? Makes the layout look toy like. Such a great layout only to be taken down with tape on some of the cars. You need to educate people on how to not need the blue tape... Damn all you see is blue tape at the 2:15 to 2:30 time line - bad...Beautiful layout, beautiful painted backgrounds (in places), looks like great running trains, but Oh My God the blue tape. The only train I like is the coal train - no tape...

      David Curtis that is for probably for operating sessions. Cars with the tape being flagged for industrial dropoff. I could be wrong, but I've operated on layouts with numbered or colored thumbtacks on the car roofs. I've also done it with setoff cards listing the car numbers. I prefer that as it avoids the tape or thumbtacks.

    • @STho205
      @STho205 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      David Curtis the empty coal hoppers have tape labels too, just down in the bed. Probably for dropoffs or to distinguish a guest's equipment. However most freight has the tags, no passenger cars do, and the full hoppers don't. Seems like operations protocol, old school to me.

      David Curtis. This is an old club (1982 from the description) and I doubt they knew the potato camera "videographer" was going to publish this as a scenic overview.
      The printed cards and SLIC lists are a product of PCs and ease of disposable printing in the 90s and 00s. Before PCs that would have taken several hours to compile, handwrite or type, and set up for a two hour session. Eventually younger operators will think the printed cards or lists are so 20th century. Just use your phone.
      That's why the old masters used much faster visual systems like tacks and sticky cards.

      The tape I believe is a visitor who got to run his locomotives on the route and wanted a way to make sure he could keep track of his belongings and when he leaves , knows he has all of his stuff

    Nice designed Layout, Theme from Steam era till 1970. It makes sensibel for the wide countryside in Amerka. The Street bridge at 7:33 looks a bit strange to me. Makes only the sense to show vintage Cars. Please help the person on the railway station at 6:43 otherwise the body needs never more a first aid!
