Ah being young and being able to crawl under the bridge. I’m rethinking my decision at my age. Not an easy task anymore. Next up Chris,s hair styles over the last couple of years lol
Nice! I really like how you have incorporated your life into the layout; the farm, the grain elevator, and naming places after your daughters. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! RBP trains, it's great to see you. Your layout is good! Enjoy it! Model railroading is different for everyone! I remember my Dad making two extremely strong layout tables from lumber, oddly enough from discarded wood from boxcars on a railroad siding we'd visit. This was the late 60's early 70's. After He did the hard work, I just had to lay the track and run my HO trains. Occasionally He'd sit on the steps leading out of the basement and take in the proceedings of me operating the layout, but He never said a word, just wanted me to enjoy myself. Never said anything about improving, etc... In fact, once my brother suggested some improvement and I was telling my Dad about it and Dad said you don't have to do that, what you have is fine. Miss Dad, a lot! My brother? At the time, a private pilot teaching lessons, now a retired BNSF locomotive engineer! Life is good, so enjoy it. Again, like I said, it's Great to see you! You're partially one of the reasons I've begun submitting my own model train videos to RUclips! One of my recent posts just got 200+ views. Oh, I realize that's nothing in the Great World of RUclips videos, but I'm just happy to have shared my model and hobbies with others. Kinda special. Hope you'll be around for a while and keep up the good work!!! Sincerely, Nathan in Chicago 🇺🇲
The train god's have gifted us RBP REJOICE WELCOME BACK CHRIS LOL U DO REALIZE YOU'RE IN THE TRAIN MAFIA FAMILY U JUST DON'T WALK AWAY WE WILL CHANT YOU'RE NAME
I get lying under the bridge... almost makes you feel like you are under a real train looking up from a river or a canyon. Love the layout and love your enthusiasm!!
Still Like Your Layout when Model Railroading you are Right no Ones Never Done with Their Layout and It The Truth Why Are The Layouts Done are it’s A Passion And Theraputic Thing Never Rush Perfection.
I recently started a RUclips channel early of this year. I made my first Lionel video about how to get a heavyweight Pullman passenger car to run from 042 curve to 027 curve tracks. The results of that, was absolutely fantastic.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I really enjoy your layout, and I especially enjoy your approach to the O scale hobby. We're fortunate to have you as a content uploader and I always look forward to your videos.
Good morning, Chris! It was great to open up RUclips this morning and to see you in the Train Room and that you had created a video. And a wonderful video at that. Your tour of the layout was sensational, and I loved it. Thank you for sharing it with us! Bill B.
@@RBPTrains Well, you are a busy guy, and it seems so am I, as hard as it may seem to believe. I am retired and I sometimes just don't know where the time goes. Very strange. But with that said, just say when and we can chat. I'd love that! Bill
So glad you’re back! Been in and out of the hobby through my life with N and HO scale. Wanted to always have an O gauge presence and your channel finally pushed me over the edge. Hopefully you keep updating.
Welcome back, Chris!! I really love your videos. When you mentioned that a layout is never finished, that is 100% true. I'm don't even done with my layout either. I'm always changed things on my layout. Can't wait to more of those train videos!!
It's nice to have another video as always Chris. I recently had purchased an MTH Richmond Frederick & Potomac 4-6-4 Hudson and it runs like a beauty. I highly recommend buying it.
Thanks so much for all your videos. I hope to see you at York next spring. I have MS and this summer saw a three month relpae and it was no party. My trains and these videos kept my spirits up. God richly bless you, your family and others that have done the same thing.
I am so sorry to hear about the relapse. It is such a terrible disease. I am glad that these videos were able to help in some way. I hope for nothing but the best for you and I will look for ya at the Spring show as long as I can make it
Hi Chris & family!!! Hope all is well with you and yours. Sure, you’ve been missed but I’m sure we all understand, you have a life other that RBP TRAINS 😂 Just to make you feel better, I haven’t done a video in 3 years 😱😂😂 But as soon as my son edits what I’ve done or been doing, before he goes back to college at the University of Chicago, I’ll get it posted 😂 Great seeing you again, Ron
Great to see you back! Your one of the best ! No right or wrong when it comes to your layout. I run o-gauge, standard gauge and g gauge on my layout and it works for me. Your layout is fantastic. Enjoy and have fun!
I love my Atlas Track, but you are right Chris, it is expensive. When I tell people it is about a dollar an inch, their jaws drop! That obviously does not include the Turnouts and other special track. Good to see you back. Great Video, thanks for Sharing!
Layout is looking good Chris! Nice to see a new video from you. I like that angle from the bridge too, very interesting perspective! I love how you included walnut planks in. Very creative, and a nice ode to your Gpa! Great video Chris!
I miss your old intro I loved listening of to the music and watching the trains pass by which i personally can here now whenever I see a train anywhere now
Great to see you back here with a video. Talking about Front Royal you are talking almost in my backyard sir. Trains are a rich part of the Shenandoah Valley I knew you were close just not that close. Take care and best to you and your entire family.
Great video, I love the view from under the bridge, that is really cool. As someone who has followed you almost from the beginning, I remember the early red eyed Chris working on ballast late night, this is a great recap that shows how you have expanded your layout but still stayed true to your fun / nostalgic side, leaving key elements of your layout intact.
I recently bought a UP FEF-3 #839. Mint condition. It was $400. I was so confused on how I was able to get it for that much. But now I came across a 5 car set of UP passenger cars. ALSO MINT CONDITION! But sadly the end cars coupler knuckle broke. And the cars are way older that anything I have so, kinda hard to repair it. But anyways. They were 490 bucks. I cannot fathom how lucky I got finding them all. And the sad part is. I FOUND THE CARS THE SAME DAY THE ENGINE HAD TO GO INTO THE SHOP! So I’m down the engine. But I have the cars. Love to see The videos starting again!
Thanks for the tour. I had realized I had not seen videos from you lately. It probably won't be long before I s produce something similar on my layout that I started nearly a year ago. I have the farm scene on mine nearly complete. Like you, I have several scenes on my layout that are a nod to ties with my past.
My son is elated to see "Our Friend Chris" back on the big screen. Thanks for making our morning! Now we've gotta run our trains!
Had to make a video after we were texting, lol
@@RBPTrainsI'm so excited that you're making videos again!! Cory Mears
Ah being young and being able to crawl under the bridge. I’m rethinking my decision at my age. Not an easy task anymore. Next up Chris,s hair styles over the last couple of years lol
Yo I did the same thing when I was younger
Love the overview. I don't think I've ever seen the areas broken down like that before. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
@@RBPTrains When are you doing an another “Running your Model Trains”video? I’m excited for the next one!
He is alive....Man it is good to see you😃
You have a fantastic layout. I love how you incorporate so many things about your family. Just a great overview.
Nice! I really like how you have incorporated your life into the layout; the farm, the grain elevator, and naming places after your daughters. Thanks for sharing.
0:23 it’s awesome you have the 844 in your collection
Welcome back, RBP trains.
I'm a huge fan of your work i just don't skip through it immediately after i watch the video i start thinking of was to improve my 5 layouts
Thank you Robert! 5 layouts? I am sure you are busy!
Definitely the best o gauge train layout on RUclips for me

I get lying under the bridge... almost makes you feel like you are under a real train looking up from a river or a canyon. Love the layout and love your enthusiasm!!
Welcome back, folks! Ain't heard that in a while. Awesome layout!
Still Like Your Layout when Model Railroading you are Right no Ones Never Done with Their Layout and It The Truth Why Are The Layouts Done are it’s A Passion And Theraputic Thing Never Rush Perfection.
It is relaxing to work on the layout. Lot's of little projects rolled into one big project!
Glad to see you back! Love how you incorporated all the items from your family into your layout!
Thank you friend!
Hi RBP TRAINS, I am a huge fan of yours. I love watching all of your videos.

Welcome back my friend, yes you were missed but we all have life. Hope all is good with you.
Great to see you again Chris! I think I speak for most of us when I say "such is life". Your layout is just awesome!!
Thanks and hope all is well!
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I really enjoy your layout, and I especially enjoy your approach to the O scale hobby. We're fortunate to have you as a content uploader and I always look forward to your videos.

We missed you
I don't even like trains, but yours are oddly fascinating.

Grand parents walnut used for bridge is a fine tribute. Well done Katy boy!
That's cool I really like the bridge i would also lay under it just get a roller back cart and roll under the bridge I find that relatable
Welcome back.ive missed seeing you. Glad you are still in the hobby ☺️
It's nice to have another video as always Chris. I recently had purchased an MTH Richmond Frederick & Potomac 4-6-4 Hudson and it runs like a beauty. I highly recommend buying it.

Glad to see you posting again! Always nice to see the layout, especially in such detail.
Good to be back!
I enjoyed the overview. Thanks for sharing. Great layout. Glad to hear you admit you're not a scratch builder kind of guy, etc. Me neither.
Welcome back Chris!! I was thinking the other day that I hadnt seen a video from you in awhile. Glad to hear you took time for yourself and family.
Glad to see the layout in detail and operating. Just bought my first house, hope to start building my own layout soon!
Congrats on the house and have fun with the build!
Amazing layout!! Very impressive! Thank you for sharing!
Great story about the bridge and able to use grand dad walnut lumber. It real pretty wood.
Maybe one day. I would not worry too much on a backdrop.
That intruder at the hobo camp looks like you in miniature.
Thanks Guss! Hope all is well with you friend
I have always loved watching your layout here on You Tube, and it never gets old!
Good to see you back, missed your regular updates. Even the sun came out here in Scotland when I watched your vid😂
Great to see you back here with a video. Talking about Front Royal you are talking almost in my backyard sir. Trains are a rich part of the Shenandoah Valley I knew you were close just not that close. Take care and best to you and your entire family.
