I really like that you use a bunch of "use what you can get" items and techniques. Shows everyone how accessible the hobby really can be. No need for all the super fancy tools and such for great results!
Awesome job on the car park. All it needs now is a bit of weathering and some signage and of course people and vehicles! Really enjoying these videos mate. - Nicholas.
Hey mate another cool video👍. With you all the way with the Big Boy. The attention to detail starting to pay off it's the little things that make it. Anyway great work good onya mate👍👍🙂.
Oh man,every time I see another video ,this place looks more and more real as anything...this one when finished is going to look so real we won't be able to tell if it's a real place or not...man,you got the touch all right
Really enjoying your episodes, I been in the hobby of model railroading and Rc cars from as young as I can remember. All scales too, albeit I’ve never had a dedicated layout in HO, so watching these videos are inspiring as some of the others on TH-cam are good but super advanced and they don’t explain it so simply and down to earth. Keep it up mate 🍻
Great video and tutorial of the new progress TR! The parking lot lines turned out awesome! You're definitely doing quite a nice job w everything my friend! Thanks for keeping us up to date w this layout series and look fwd to seeing the next one.
Thanks for sharing Growing up, The Daylight 4449 was my favorite. Had the VHS and everything. Now? I'd have to say the SD40-2 or the SD60-2 Thanks (as always) for sharing these great ideas and techniques.
if you are using "standard" joint compound, instead of using sand paper, you should try using a damp sponge! (and fill 1 or 2 gallons of water in a bucket to periodically rinse the sponge) Basically, fully soak the sponge, and then squeeze out "most" of the water. The more dry the sponge, the less of the joint compound will be "sanded/smoothed" as you work. The best part - no dust! Using a puddy knife to remove the "blobs" from the roadways first... creating just a tiny bit of dust & debris, but nothing like when sand paper is used.
Hi Top Railroad! Happy Friday my friend! It looks great! Don’t forget to add the drive thru lane! Have a great day BTW - I grew up fairly close to the Northeast Corridor. My favorite locomotive is the GG1. Personally I love the power of steam locomotives. Diesels are cool too Have a great day! Looking forward to the next episode!
When I was little when me and my family went to see our family and near their town there was this Bojangles, we always ate at this Bojangles that was at least 50ft next to the railroad tracks.
When I start my layout I'm gunna do videos too but on my layout I'm gunna prolly have 80% Diesel engines and 20% Steam Engines just cause I want a Duluth Misabi IronRange Big Boy since I live here and a Hudson and maby couple bullet nose 1's like the Blue Comet and the red and Black bullet pennsy

Thank you! I’m on a sort of budget and I know a lot are in the same boat so I try my best to find ways to get things done without breaking the bank!

Nice looking good so far.

That looks great. I can't wait to see part 2. DJ is going to want to stop by there for lunch. lol
Great place for lunch too 😂👍🏼
Happy Friday my friend! Parking and dirt lot both look good. "What's the best tool you have? The one in your hand." 😉 🌲🚂🌳🏭😺
Happy Friday man! And thank you 😁😁
Looking great. I have a Denny's ready to go for my layout, definitely going to use some of the parking lot ideas you show.
Dennys is a great choice!
Thanks for sharing

Now? I'd have to say the SD40-2 or the SD60-2

The Daylight is in my top 5 for steam for sure. The SD series are beautiful as well!

Looking absolutely wonderful man!
Before you get too far, you might consider a photo backdrop. Making nice progress.
Nice job. Look forward to part 2

Happy Friday! And yes I definitely can’t forget the drive through lane haha. The GG1 is a iconic and awesome looking locomotive! Thanks for sharing :)

Sounds like some great memories!
Nice thanks for the ideas!
For the timber that bowed when you painted it. If you paint both sides it won't bow. keep up the good job.
I really like layouts the fact you make layouts kinda keeps you busy
Very true. Plus I’m always thinking on what do do on the layout as well
Wow
You should turn the DQ right,left or backwards
I love the diesel locos more
At least DQ has a customer.
are you planning to install working signal to your layout
I do plan too. Just need to learn more about them and get the right stuff
Shout out to top Railroad ♐️👍
Shout out to you! 😁
