Dear Nick, very interesting how you showed the entire layout! Love the way you did the ‘ceilings’ of the different levels. Very cool how that changes the perspective sky wise. Will be cool to see how you’re going to light the levels. Cheerio
Thank you! Yes, lighting the valence is one of those projects that have been continually pushed back! It will be nice once the layout has proper lighting installed!
Hi Nick it’s Good To know When you started the Layout But the Real thing you Will Understand This And Listen Don’t matter When You Are Done Model Railroading is A Passionate Theraputic thing you get done When You get Done and Yes You are The Biggest Crittic Of that Layout.
Very nice tour and explanation of your layout. You have done a lot of planning and your clear explanations reflect that. There will be several areas that will photograph very well, namely the rock section. You are doing things in a methodical way. This will ultimately benefit you and assist with easing frustration as you start to focus in on scenery. It's the journey not the destination. Look forward to your next update and thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Slow, steady, and methodical process, but I am liking how the layout operations are coming together. Lots of good scenic opportunities to come!
Very methodical approach. I like that the benchwork is all trimmed out with the fascias. It gives some sense of completion even though there is much yet to do. It makes it a nicer area to work and spend time as you progress through these later stages of the build.
This is a great layout and it will keep you occupied for many years. Are there lights in the canopies over the layout? I'm guessing you didn't switch them on or haven't installed them yet?
Yes it sure will! Would love to process the layout further! Lighting is just one of those projects that I have continually pushed back! One day soon I hope to get the valence lit up properly
Thank you! The levels were joined by one steady grade from the lower to upper level. Where the tracks initially started the climb to the upper level, used to enter the backdrop and come out where the large bridge scene is located. It was 3 times the grade it is now. It was both unrealistic and stalled many trains. It didn’t take long for me to change the design!

Excellent execution of a point to point theme.
Thank you! Growing up where the forestry industry is booming, I couldn’t help but model what I see!
Nice
Your rail network is incredible, it is gigantic 😲
Thanks you! I’m glad you enjoyed!

Yes, the fascia board really finishes off the layout well. Showcases the trains and the eventual scenery. Thanks for watching!
This looks great. Just looks so fun to run & deliver goods. Aewesome!
The operation sessions are definitely busy, and the “fun” runs across the layout are definitely enjoyable too!
amazing layout! nice track plan, terrain shaping and interesting plans :)
Thank you!
Very nice tour. Really enjoyed getting to see the layout. Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad you enjoyed!
Thanks great layout tour
Thank you!
Very fun looking layout. Can't wait to see you start adding scenery and more buildings😅
Thank you! It’s definitely fun when things go smoothly! I’m looking forward to more scenery and structure too!
WOW... Nice work... Very impressive...Looking forward to following the progress...
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy following along!
Looking great so far!
Thank you!
Impressive layout, definitely needs lighting? Those LED tapes are a cheap effective option?
Thank you! Yes, LED strip lights will be installed sooner than later hopefully! I know eBay has a lot of cost effective options!
Very nice job on informing us on how you came up with the branch line and purpose. Layout looks very good, always enjoy watching your updates.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed. The branchline operations give a unique switching options and add an interesting dynamic to the layout!
That was a great layout tour, Nick. The layout is really taking shape and it must be awesome to operate.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed!

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed
@@SD70ACEguy your welcome buddy
Nice work! You mentioned helix’s being an after thought. How were you going to connect both levels initially?
Thank you! The levels were joined by one steady grade from the lower to upper level. Where the tracks initially started the climb to the upper level, used to enter the backdrop and come out where the large bridge scene is located. It was 3 times the grade it is now. It was both unrealistic and stalled many trains. It didn’t take long for me to change the design!
trains parked near the edge of the layout - obviously no cats or small chldren.
