Thanks Michael, appreciate the feedback. I need to get to finishing the yard. Have some buildings and service tracks to add still. Thanks again. - Steve
Another great update, Steve. It's really coming together. The backdrops are outstanding and do a stellar job of truly making it Cajon. In the words of Freddie Prinze, "Looooking good!"
Thanks Travis, I’m going to do add them for other areas without backdrops too. They definitely make the scene pop compared to other areas without them. Appreciate the feedback as always. - Steve
Blew my mind when you pulled out the electronics drawer. It is arranged nice and neat and the drawer pulled out smoothly. If I was worried about heat I would put a small muffin fan in the back of the drawer to pull the air out the back.
All looks good Steve, you have some great idea coming. Thanks for the plug on my Trees....You should have a scene of the cop's arresting them taggers. Great update. Bob
Thanks Bob! Anytime, the trees are great. Really enjoy finally being able to put them in too. Appreciate the feedback, Cops arresting taggers - great idea! Thanks again - Steve
Good morning Steve, Sorry to hear about your back troubles, and glad to hear that you are healing! The layout is coming along nicely. Back drop screams SoCal with the haze. Thanks for the idea of using Google Earth to catch scenes. Take care my friend........Mike
Awesome Mike, thanks! Back is 100% better and looking to pick up steam on other layout projects. That’s the look and feedback I was hoping for. Should I add more trees, or keep it sparse like it is? Just to clarify, I used google maps, not earth. I might have to go back and see what I said in the video now. If you have questions, give me a shout. Thanks again and take care. - Steve
For your electronics / DCC drawer I would you use a computer case fan. Amazon sells them for about $10 to $15 dollars and they have USB or DC models 3 to 12 volts. They have 2 different types. Great layout thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the feedback and recommendations. I was thinking about adding a fan but a computer fan is perfect since I can just power it from the computer power supply. - Steve
Good job buddy everything's looking good too bad you were out of service so long but you can get right back into it. Can't wait to see the rest of the scenery. Get that Helix problem fixed, lol. And highball
Thanks for the feedback buddy, I’m making a video on how I make the access panels. Yep, definitely good to be feeling better and able to work on it without pain or a cane! I’ve got to watch your video too, just didn’t have time today. - Steve
Thanks for the feedback, I honestly don’t like graffiti and don’t support it… but to get that realistic look of modern day SoCal, it’s everywhere unfortunately. Feeling much better so hopefully I can get some more projects knocked out. - Steve
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll definitely do some videos of the systems once interfaced with JMRI. I’ve never used it before so it will all be uncharted territory for me though and probably slow-going. Thanks again. - Steve
Thanks Adam, that’s the plan. Going to do the backdrop on the BNSF side of Devore and then start working some others on upper level and also the yard backdrops. Appreciate the feedback. - Steve
Great job! The scenery looks excellent! I love the yard design that you have.

Thanks for the feedback, the drawer was a fun project to do. I was thinking about adding a small fan too if I did put the PR3 in the drawer. - Steve
Nice update, Steve. I’m glad you’re doing well now. The layout is beautiful. Great backdrops. Very nice runby. Beautiful consist. 🚂😎👍🏼
Thanks Drew, appreciate the feedback on everything. Take care - Steve

I feel that a slightly blurred background gives the feeling of distant horizons. A sharp focus backscene looks too unreal.
Thanks! The more I look at it, I agree. I think if it’s too focused many will focus more on the background rather the scene. - Steve

Ya a nice marine layer look to the backdrop 😂 seriously looks good
Thank you, I like the look of it too… “the marine layer” that never goes away. - Steve
I personally think no graffiti, but thats me, i love hiw your layout looks, I'm glad your healing as well. Keep kicking ass as bst you can

@@CajonSub Use modelers license and create a world where graffiti does not exist. I can't stand it as well.
@@troy.peters yep, it’s out of control.
Looking good, be cool to see a video of your Digitrax setup integrated with JMRI
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll definitely do some videos of the systems once interfaced with JMRI. I’ve never used it before so it will all be uncharted territory for me though and probably slow-going. Thanks again. - Steve
I really like the backdrop I think it came out good. You should do more.
Thanks Adam, that’s the plan. Going to do the backdrop on the BNSF side of Devore and then start working some others on upper level and also the yard backdrops. Appreciate the feedback. - Steve
Cool video
Thank you! - Steve
