hello there mr. roy thank you for coming to my house it was a great day for sure hanging out with you and todd and the ladies. it was my perfect birthday wish and weekend that week couldnt have asked for more. cant wait to see your video of todds layout also. i also wanted to say thank you to all that replyed to this video. you humble me with all your praise and i thank you all for it. it is so fulfilling to me as a person and a modelrailroader to hear all your comments. it really means a lot to me and i cant thank you all enough. you all should realize that your railroads have givin me inspiration and ideas along with many others in the train world. my mentor and good friend todd treaster is one of the reasons that i am able to do such stuff he has taught me a lot and i do mean a lot in this hobby over the last 30 plus years. to meet people like roy, todd , steve wilson, mike sabia , vinny, big john t, and a host of others makes me a better person and modler. thank you all again
Jim, I want you to know that you deserve every single kind word written about you and your layout is the comments to this video. I cannot tell you just how much I enjoyed our time together during my recent trip to Pennsylvania. Thank you for creating such a beautiful layout, and thank you for allowing me to share it with the model railroad community. Stay well, my friend. Until we next meet.... Roy P.S. I'm pinning your comment to the top of the comments.
Hello Roy, good to see you on and hope you and Leonor are doing well. Hope you had a good trip. Love those layouts that you visited, amazing railroads, including yours. Have a great week.
hello everyone it is nov 17 2024 and i am watching roys video of my layout again. i just want to say thank you all for all of the nice comments about my layout it is very nice of you all. second i just want to say how much i miss my buddy roy. he was my friend and was full of life. i loved him and his wife leonor coming to my house every summer when he came to pa to see his mom. we had lots of fun talking and looking at layouts. he was a blast to be around. i miss my buddy and i cant say enough about him and his wife. i am honored that this was his last video that he made and it was of my layout. tears come to my eyes. so if you can hear me roy we all miss you so much and till we see each other again my friend.
Jim has an awesome layout. He is very good at building and track laying. Everything about his laying is well done. Jim has been a life long friend and we enjoy sharing ideas. Thank you Roy for another great video.
You are absolutely right, Todd. Hanging out with Jim and you during my recent trip to PA was tons of fun. It was a real pleasure to share his layout with the model railroad community - as it will be with yours, coming soon. ...Roy
hello! I came across the video through a related search on RUclips in South Korea! The diorama as well as the N scale KATO products are so beautifully composed that it is a fun video for the eyes!
Hi Roy, Thanks for sharing Jim's great layout with us! I was also at last years N Scale Weekend in Altoona. I'm sorry I did not get to meet both you gentlemen. Maybe this year? Mike
what an amazing layout! For the scale train ethusiasts, N scale is the option if we don't have an spare room for it. I will upload on my channel how I made my N layout on a coffee table on a video soon
Sounds you made a trip to my region. I live just west of Manassas VA near Bealton VA and am working on an HO basement layout which is about 15x36 feet roughly based on the D&RGW Grand Junction area and westward (era: late 70's thru early 80's). My problem is having enough time to get to the point of this layout. I am collecting a roster of N scale rolling stock because I expect to downsize in another 5 years or so. In the meantime work progresses in my basement - I have a blog of sorts on the AtlasRescueForum in the Project Archive section. Enjoyed viewing this video! Cheers.
great layout - I'm not an enthusiast or anything - just stumbled on to this - - when I was a kid I had a friend who's uncle built rideable trains - he had tracks running all around his house and quite the impressive workshop - I only got to see it all just once but it was pretty cool - - I like what this guy has done hear though, very nice, my only suggestions would be to slow the trains down to make look more natural (Just my opinion) also if they sell them, the cars need graffiiti decals or something - that would look awesome
Nice layout but a little too 'clinical' for me. Life is full of wear and tear and we should try to present that side of it too by westhering. Perhaps that's part of the project in the future?
If you email me I can send you photos of I would pass on. He was a Wisconsin Central guy. I used to volunteer at the SD Railroad Museum. But I was a cop, so I could full fill the schedule. .
Roy, you werr absolutely correct, it did inspire me, I had the pleasure of visiting Tonys N scale layout from @redbirdtony2010 so haveing seen this and his, i am more motivated to get back to work on my own. Thanks for taking us along. Glad your visit to the states was a safe and happy one.

Hi Rob! Visiting layouts is the best part of my trips to the States. ...Roy
Nostalgic. I feel like a child looking at these layouts.
Model railroading really is about the journey not the destination. I can't imagine a worse thing than finishing. 😆
So true, Mark. I can't even imagine ever being "done" with my layout. ...Roy
Roy: Good to see you again. You have been busy
Good to hear from you, Ken. There's never a dull moment in model railroading. ...Roy
Thanks Roy good to see you back
Thanks, Ron. It really was tons of fun to hang out with Jim and see his layout again. ...Roy

You betcha. Jim's locomotive fleet stretches as far as the eye can see. ...Roy

What- did my ears hear no locomotive sounds (noise)? Also, nice to see Caboose Industries ground throws.
Allen, Jim's layout is powered by DC. It's a beautiful layout. ...Roy
@@n-scaleunionpacificevansto6569
My HO RR is also DC -
🇧🇷🚂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice Layout Roy!!!
It really is a beautiful layout. ...Roy
I'm starting my own layout it's going to be ho scale and n scale I'm very happy 😁😁😁😁😁
Have fun with it, my friend. ...Roy
Nice layout but a little too 'clinical' for me. Life is full of wear and tear and we should try to present that side of it too by westhering. Perhaps that's part of the project in the future?
Who is that playing Billy in the Lowground?
🤠🖐🚂
But zero obligation! I collect RR lanterns and keys. Have half dozen conductors lanterns, 300 plus keys and a poop load of other lantern/globes
No spamming on my end, father in law before he passed… been train dorks.
🤠👍🖐🚂💭

Let me guess Labor sent them a few million
I don’t get the wide spacing on the main lines…..not very realistic at all. But, it’s your rr!
Model railroading is really about getting some quality alone time in the basement from your nagging spouse
Roy, you werr absolutely correct, it did inspire me, I had the pleasure of visiting Tonys N scale layout from @redbirdtony2010 so haveing seen this and his, i am more motivated to get back to work on my own. Thanks for taking us along. Glad your visit to the states was a safe and happy one.
Thanks, my friend. We really do inspire each other in this hobby. ...Roy
Looks like there's more than one man needs. Can never run it all at the same time.
Can be a very good social exercise with numerous friends operating such a layout
