Wow... attention to detail. Well done. Looks time consuming.

Great video, thnx!

Beautiful work I’m intrigued an inspirational purpose

Very good post..learned a few things…thank you..

Impressive work and very inspirational.

Just... WOW. How long have you been doing this?

Great video! Thanks for sharing your techniques!

I like your ideas, hope you don't mind me offering a few ideas of my own. If you want to hide your corner on your layout you could possibly do some kind of small intermodal drop off yard. Also depending on how much you want to model with your warehouse what you could of done would be to cut the side of the building off so its flush with the end of the layout and model the inside of the building.

Great video! Your layout has really transformed. The waterfront scenes are awesome and I can’t wait to order some of the details you offer. The pipe and hydrant will definitely be on my next order! Thanks for sharing your work Doug!

whos gonna know about rock movement over time looking at a train model.

I'm interested in using pipes to model water movement from land to river

A gun shop in NYC? No way! Beautiful work, but that choice is definitely fantasy!

Super update, welcome back

Are those the cap47_ weathering jobs?

Your layout looks great! recently discovered you, I model in N so your product is not viable for me but skills and ideas do scale. I have extreme space constraints so I am doing a modified T-Track system. I have so many Ideas for my layout that by using the modules I'm hoping to be able to reconfigure the layout differently every time I bring it out. I store it on a wire shelf bakers rack (2) one for modules one for scenery and buildings.

I really like to Erie Lackawanna power yep structures are wonderful it really looks good

I love what you've done! Both your and Jason's Layouts are wonderful! There are similarities for both of you; but, different enough to tell the difference! Thanks for sharing!!!

That style of graffiti and those writers are a bit early for the 70s

Hi Fos Scale Model - Mode & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Fos Scale Model-Mode & Friends Randy

thank you

Wow, just wow!

Love you kits. Just wish they were in N scale. Thanks for sharing.

It is looking very good, much more interesting the way you have laid it out now. Your artistic side definitely showing. I love that you show things you wished you had done differently, it makes me realize I am not alone. Thanks

Hi Doug thanks for the update. You’re a great inspiration. When you showed the broken hydrocal retaining wall you moved a concrete railing. Can you give details on this like where you got it or if you built it yourself? Thanks again.

Grown men playing with trains......I want one a train....but with cars, every day is a potential 'Katzilla' episode...

Really fantastic progress, Doug. Loving the new additions.

I had an art teacher, Miss Stone, from 1969 - 1974 whose motto was "work with your mistakes". I've had to fall back on that in my personal life and other model builder.

I enjoyed the update and look forward to new videos. I like the look of what is being done. I am going to be "that guy" though: the camera movement literally gave me motion sickness - sorry. It's like trying to play certain video games with my son lol.

hurray a new video!

Looks like you're making great progress. Beautiful work!

Coming on nicely Doug, can we have a video of a running session please? Would be great to see some of your PC/NH models making their way through the scenery.

You can add a piece of nylon screen door mesh in the castings to reinforce the back them.

I love it, we would stay with my Aunt in Brooklyn, 70's and 80's, and I remember egg creams, baseball cards, and mostly, the elevated subway trains that passed just below her 18 story tenement. Every night they would pass, clickity clack, one had a cool graffiti depiction of Yosemite Sam pointing two six guns. The sights and sounds are still fresh in my mind, your layout is wonderful ✨️

Dear Doug, the tweaks to your layout you showed in this video make sense. Do remember saying in a previous comment that the track in the background had potential for a subway line. However, when it’s so hard to reach the tracks then it becomes obvious to change the plan. Humbly think the little subway diorama in the right hand corner adds a lot of ‘underground’ depth to the layout. Same can be said for the concrete viaduct and the elevated track you’re planning to build. The way the concrete viaduct visually ends the vista on the tracks beneath it is an excellent choice. Cool to see what kind of backdrop transitions you now are emphasizing on. Will definitely look forward to seeing these parts develop. Less is more as the saying goes. Also, with the layout at a relatively high level it’s much harder to see up front what kind of accessibility restrictions this level will bring. On the other hand from the straight up viewing perspective the higher level creates opportunities for more vignettes to draw the viewer’s eye. Cheerio

Looks like a lot of great work Doug!. Really like all those details.

Layout is really coming along and looks fantastic keep up the great work

that defect in the concrete wall is called spalling

As always, great video. Everything is looking great. Love the subway and elevated line scene.

Doug, great update. The changes certainly make sense, and really change the look and feel. I think the planning mistakes is something we all make, the best intentions and all. Cheers, and stay safe, Michael

love it, man!

Thanks for the update. I feel your pain and frustration. I to suffer from planning out the easy to reach areas and then trying to work out how to get the hardest to reach areas completed. I just tear down and get the hardest areas and then redo the easy parts to look even better than before. Keep the faith and keep up the fantastic work.

I really like this. At first I thought your style was too different from mine. But now I can appreciate what you are doing. You are nailing the look and feel of NYC. 2 suggestions - more newspapers. And please clip those coupler trip pins. 😎

Nice to see you back Doug.

Great layout update..

This is great, Doug. I enjoy watching the updates on this nice New York City layout. It's so inspiring as it gives me multiple NYC, modeling ideas.

Great update, Doug - thanks. I think its' wonderful how you are demonstrating to younger modelers that a layout can change and evolve over time. Hopefully this will take off a lot of that "I have to get it right" pressure.

Very authentic. Love it!

Glad to see the update, Doug! Was a little worried. There may have been mistakes in planning but what you are showing is that mistakes can be corrected and the results are even better than before. Thanks

the front space next to the gun shop is perfect for a demolished building with a exposed basement full of junk and debris, oh and dont forget crossbuck signs for the track crossing the street. Cheers Rob

Great updates Doug, inspiring to see things get cut and evolve. I'm doing a similar era and themed layout in a much smaller space (2ftx6ft and 2ftx4ft in an L). Yours has been very helpful getting the 70s vibe as I was born in the 80s.
