Glad to see the new video, looking forward to future progress updates on the layout. 👍 Don't too feel bad, I pretty much took the summer off from model railroading, as well [mine was mostly from burnout]. Ready to get back into the groove too...
Burnout is definitely real. I've certainly hit that, but also why I like to have a couple of other smaller layouts to keep things a little new and fresh sometimes. GN Cascade Division is still the main focus, but sometimes it just gets overwhelming. Take care of yourself! Iain
I use the Walthers control units and am quite pleased how they work. After installing five I made my own switch control units to control the turnouts. Plus I have installed LEDs to let me know which way the turnout is turned. I too do not want to have my Digitrax to control turnouts.
I have three scales, Lionel up at ceiling level, HO wraps around my room, double track and N. Would love to do G outside but time to by a new car. I too jump around with my trains, building projects on our property and working on our old cars. I did by two Z box cars which I mounted on N scale flat cars. Too much fun!!!!
I'm with @tomlander lol wholly smokes. I dabbled in HO originally, P48, G/outdoor, then finally N but not all at once. And never live steam but I do work in a machine shop so it has been tempting
Put that machine shop time to good use! I'm not much of a machinist at all, and I think I somewhat know my limits not to try to take on that kind of a project. Maybe in a few years 🤣 It is nice to be able to dabble a little in different scales as it keeps me interested in new and different things. Iain
Hornby do make some nice TT stuff... I think I'm into more than enough for now though 😜 It's kinda nice to be able to jump around depending on what I feel like or I've been watching / reading about. I'm lucky I have the space to indulge in that, I know. Iain
Wow! You got a few things on the fire to keep you busy. Great update.
I do try! Stops me getting bored, and helps keep things fresh for different projects. Thanks for following along. Iain

It has been SOOO long!! I was hoping you were ok dude!! good to see you again :)
*now to watch the video*
Hopefully it was worth the wait! I'll try to get a little more regular videos out now that we're past outdoor weather. Iain
@@gncascadedivision It really was - the garden railway and 1/8 scale stuff was a real unexpected bonus! keep 'em coming, I'll be here for it :)

Sounds awesome! It's all fun, and helps pick up different skills to use across the different scales. Iain
Good to see a new video! 😎
Thanks! I've kept meaning to record some stuff along the way, but figure a recap video made sense by now! Iain
Hopefully I see you at Trainfest. Will be at the WisLUG layout
Awesome! Do keep an eye out and come say hi. I do like to spend time checking out all the club layouts! Iain
