Thank you Sion, it’ll take some time and planning to come up with something that’ll keep me happy and busy. But will be fun either way. Thanks for watching!
Very nice update, Kyle. Nice to see your bench work for the layout. I’m also using Bachmann tracks. Would be nice if Bachmann can create a yard ladder to where it can squeeze more lines in. Are your engines all Scale trains?
Thanks Drew, yes it would be awesome if bachmann would come out with different verity of track, but they also appear to a smaller audience. The two B&O painted units are scaletrains and all of the Chessie painted units are Atheran Genesis.
the footprint looks very similar to my old one, 7x9? I am building a 4x8 furniture grade layout right now, custom table, sanded, stained, varnished, with the layout as a recessed insert. When some better space opens up (I clean out more of my family's junk lol) I plan on doing an around the room shelf-style layout with a point to point configuration that has a hidden staging yard behind the backdrop for continuous running.
@@Rebecca_The_Dragon quite honestly I’m not sure on the dimensions of the layout. I would love to take over more of space, but the family restricted me on what I can have. Thanks for watching!
Looking good Kyle. Runs smooth. Do you need any more Bachmann track I found a box. There are 18" curves, straight, short straight, some turnouts and some track elevation piers. Let me know and I'll send it to you.
Definitely will if needed, thank you for that. I think I’ll use atlas for switches and flex track to create yards and industrial tracks. I’ll see what I can do though. Thanks for watching!
That layout is coming along good!! You gotta make the best of what you got! I’m thankful I have the room I have!! Btw those walls look bare Let’s get a chessie painting going for those walls!!! I’ll give you a great deal lol I’m bad plugging myself like that lol so are you only doing dc? Or do you have the sound off??
@@AppalachiaRRlover dcc mostly, I do have some models that run beautifully on dc, so those probably won’t get dcc for a while. Definitely want to get some Chessie art someday, but just can’t do it right now. Thanks for watching!
Late 70s - early 80s, so basically 1977-late 1981. Most of the consist will probably be EMD units considering that’s what I mostly remember seeing on the B&O in my area. Need to find a crane for that work train someday. Thanks for watching!
@@kylestevens6925 Kyle. Thank you,was curious on your timeline but figured had to be in the 80's,lol. Noting the motive power . Chessie had some interesting M.O.W equipment worth modeling. Got a soft spot for M.O.W equipment. Probably gonna be my next builds. Got a couple ideas. Have a safe and happy 4th Kyle.
Surprisingly very well, some of the cars in the mixed freight train have been known to jump the tracks, so I take it if I can run them around for about an hour and no problems, it’s pretty good. Thanks for watching!
Nice start Kyle. Looking forward to future updates.
It's looking great Kyle. This is a big step, and what you have so far looks great.
I have about the same amount of space. Careful planning will make it a very interesting layout. Keep us updated 👍🏾
Thank you Ron, and definitely good planning can lead to a very cool layout. Thanks for watching!
Great job on the track work, Kyle. Everything ran really smoothly. I’m looking forward to what your going to build.
@@derekalexander4030 thanks bud!

@@kylestevens6925 if you are confined to the garage, why not go around the perimeter as a shelf style layout? Your 2’ modules are the perfect width
Great work Kyle!
Thank you Deano!
keep the updates coming my friend
Thank you sparky!
Looking good! keep it up!
Thank you!
Looking good....
Thank you Duane!

@@kylestevens6925 well I have some 8” x 10” canvases I’ll be some some art in and I’ll do a few chessie on them and keep up on the layout:)
Nice work Kyle
Thanks Dave!
Gezz Kyle hopefully by winter I can get SOME train running..you using EZ Track?? WELP you answered the track question 😂😂😂
Mostly yes, but I’ve also use atlas code 100 for industrial and yard tracks.
Kyle, what did you think of Athearn bringing out the Chessie SD50?
Just subscribed to become number 288.
What timeline do you model Kyle ? Any plans for a Chessie BQ23-7 ? Nice Walthers work train and Chessie power too.Thanks for the update Fren.

NCE update Kyle…keep at it…how’d the freight train run?

Work it Slowly Don’t Rush it. The Ideas will Come To ya it’s A Pride And Passion Thing Not a Race to Get it done.
@@elleryparsons2433 very true!
