It’s not as much room as it may seem. It’s an 8’ x 16’ room - but I had to wait for all four kids to grow up and move out before it became available! Used to be my daughter’s bedroom…
Very nice scenery and operation. Question: Where did you get the hopper cars with end platforms? Lake State Railway has a large number of these in gypsum service but I have not found any available models.
Those are Walthers 40’ Ortner Hoppers. I picked some up a few years ago when they were first released (before the prices got ridiculous) and found a few more at an estate sale last winter.
I love the different levels. Its the only way to squeeze so much in.
I only had so much. room to work with - trying to make the best of it!
Good video. Working on the scenery is fun, just enjoying some time running our trains is the best
Gotta take some time to enjoy what we’ve built!
Nice running session. Relaxing.
Thanks 👍
I believe the title for this video should be replaced with, "Model Railroad Zen". 🙂 Good video! Love that ROW cut in the hill at 0:57!
Thanks! That was fun to create. Happy with how it turned out… Appreciate the comments!
i wish i had that much room to work with.

Running trains is ok
Sometimes it’s just good to let them run around…
