Man as a carpenter I find it super funny everyone is after you about the drywall screws. It's model trian layout not a load bearing wall in a house lol. Also just for everyone's information, Drywall screws, contruction screws and decking screws are all non structural screws. Unless your using a screw with packaging that specifically states its design for load bearing applications its not legal for house construction. Its your layout man, use whatever screws ya want. Keep up the good work, excited to see what you build in your new studio!
I love this! Verne was a huge reason why I got back into model trains, and On30 in general. It is awesome to see his legacy carried on in this mini layout design. I can't wait to see what happens to this.
Good to see you back to your old self Dave. And a new layout to boot. Should be great having all Verne's diorama pieces on their own layout. I always enjoyed seeing his work when he was on Railroad Line Forums. So this will be a fitting tribute to his fine work. I will be interested to see what you now have planned for that vacant space on the Thunder Mesa layout. Take care. Regards Rob.
This was well worth the wait so excited to see this come together. Love the story behind this layout and how you honor your friends memory. GOD BLESS 🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕
Thank you for posting this! I love looking at the different layouts, but this one is more an inspiration for me to build something simple not overwhelming. To go from trains on a board/daydreaming to an actual layout. Maybe just a little bigger to accommodate a passing track the couple of turnouts. Welcome back and glad to see new content from you. 🤟
Verne was a great modeler and a great guy. I got to know him towards the end of his modeling n scale. He was a great inspiration for my n scale modeling. I was a follower of his On30 modeling. He is greatly missed. Thanks for preserving his legacy.
Dear Dave. I'm following your clips since a while of 3 - 4 Years. recognizing a change deep in you? right?? but come on, your're a winner, not prepared for the chicken run. the new interesting project showed again the brilliant way to create a dream from nothing/something to a diorama. I hope to see you soon here on the Chanel. take care, all the best. regards from Germany Wolfgang
After dinner I sat at the PC to check if you had posted anything. Nothing showed. Then about a minute later my phone said you had!!! Good to see you. Interesting project.
Great plan Dave, seems like it was yesterday when you, Verne and I sat at his dining table making saguaros. Hard to believe it’s been ten years. Thanks for keeping his memory alive.
Thank you. FYI.....I use drywall screws. Sometimes with a little wood glue. Holds like a champ. You will never be able to back them out with glue already applied.
Hi Dave, please your back to model building, it seems like ever since you've done any modeling,so let's get back to normal after the relocation to you man's cave 👍
Great project, nice to put all those structures on a single diorama. If you where going to put that foam "hil" at the center, why did you took the time to cut the center of the plywood?
As I mentioned in the video, to reduce weight, and it's much easier to go through the foam alone when adding lights etc, than having to go through foam and plywood.

Thanks for the conversation about Vern. Some of us didn’t know about this person and contribution. Good thinking on your part Dave.

Thanks! Stay tuned
Working with white foam beadboard is an experience that sticks with you. Literally.
I know. I've just been doing it! Fortunately it was just a small piece for a small diorama, to learn to do static grass on.
This was well worth the wait so excited to see this come together. Love the story behind this layout and how you honor your friends memory.

I've been into model railroading for 50 years and watching your videos has really taught me alot. Thanks. I'm into N gauge trains myself. Thanks again
Glad to see you found the joy of modeling again

Welcome back Dave and a wonderful video to get back into it ❤
Wonderful video and backstory. I'm always excited to see when you post a new video!

Bigger is not always better, small layouts are cool too!
Hello Dave,
I love your mini layouts, I'm looking forward to seeing the progress.
Greetings from Germany
Its great to see you back Dave. I've missed your weekly videos. Cant wait to watch the progression of the San Lorenzo Layout. Thanks!
It's great to see you back again.👍
It's cool that Mr. Niner's dio will get to be the centerpiece of it's own layout. I'm looking forward to more.
Great start Dave on a fantastic tribute!
Love those buildings and the scene itself is great.
Great to see you having fun again 👍🏻 and looks like a great memorial layout 🌵🌵
I've used drywall screws in three different layouts and never had a problem.
Wood screws rock! I use them for everything. A day without wood screws is like a day without sunshine!
Welcome back my friend. Terrific project
Awesome is all I can add.
Good episode, thx.
Great to see you back Dave ! 🧨⛏🧨⛏🇬🇧
Great plan Dave, seems like it was yesterday when you, Verne and I sat at his dining table making saguaros. Hard to believe it’s been ten years. Thanks for keeping his memory alive.
It was only yesterday, wasn't it? Good to hear from you Travis! Your cacti are still the best
Great start to what looks like a really fun little layout
Looks great, can't wait to see the rest.
Great video, thank you!
Really enjoyed this episode. The mini layout is a great idea.
Glad you’re back and good to see a new project. Always a great source for tips.
Thanks for sharing and happy holydays.
As usual another great video!! Thanks again for all you do. Keep moving forward my friend. (love that line).
❤❤❤❤awesome project Daved.😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks!
Thank you!

Brilliant
Good to see your AC unit again Dave
If all you have is a HAMMER - EVERYTHING looks like a NAIL!
Love it.
Looking forward to seeing you transform wood, styrofoam, glue and paint onto another kinetic three dimensional art scape
Hi Dave, please your back to model building, it seems like ever since you've done any modeling,so let's get back to normal after the relocation to you man's cave 👍
It would be cool to have a ghost rider reference
Wow! Its got air conditioning!

Will this be at Riverside? Puerto Borracho Railway
That's the plan!
Wood screws are merely a scam perpetuated by big screw to make sure your workshop has more doodads than you'd ever need.
😆
They sure do screw yah
That’s screwed. Well bolted. I guess.
LOL wood screws are for people who care more about the process than the results. Tweak all the purists next time and use left over deck screws :)
😆
The only way to work with white foam beadboard and stay sane is to do so naked.
