- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Dave Stewart and friends are building a huge O scale model railroad for realistic model railroad operations.
**********************************************************
The thousands of feet of track are now complete, all hand laid track, and controlled by a CTC control system.
**************************************************
The railroad was on the layout tour of the 2017 narrow gauge convention in Denver Colorado.The 37th National Narrow Gauge Convention took place August 30th through September 2nd 2017 in Denver, Colorado - Always a fan favorite narrow gauge convention location. The convention was held in The Marriott Denver Tech Center. This was one of the spectacular layouts on the layout tour.

Ahhhh!! The dream catcher had to get in on the act! Dreams do come true!! I love to go to these layouts and see all the various ideas! Real works of art!
Don thought it was a basketball hoop. Hum... I guess that is a dream catcher when you think about it.
Glad to see 2 rail standard gauge is not a dead gauge. Great video . The layout? Impressive !
Really becoming a bit more popular.
Not sure why I’ve come across this is so long after it was posted. Sure is a great show! Looks like a fun layout
Yup!!!!
Just Fun. 🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸
Awesome video
Thanks!!
Too much fun watching layouts with you guys... you should come to Wasaga Beach sometime...
Boy anything to get out of town right now! Sadly this darn virus has another plan for us. So we are on lockdown. Sigh.
Great video and awesome layout!
The background with the thru-truss bridge at 2:15 is gorgeous. The King Coal building is perfect for an Appalachia & Ohio railroad. Great stuff!
Great video love those 2 rail O layouts great detail , but that’s a special one the detail is just so amazing but great job with video, and keep up the great work
Super huge layout. Runs soooooo well.
Toy Man Television sure does thanks for the reply love your videos
Nice ❗👍👍
Dave and friends have done a great job. I met him shortly after A&O 1.0 was torn down and the new house was built. He has handlaid all that track, turnouts, and the scenery is tremendous. I haven't been there for the last two years, but I really enjoy visiting him and the layout. One visit he had me switching, first time doing that much switching in O scale, despite growing up around O scale, I was surprised how much walking around I had to do. My wife called me during this time and told me I had to come home for diner. I felt like the kid being called home for supper when he was having too much fun. Thanks for sharing Dave's layout!
Outstanding!
Love it. Really like the O Scale stuff
A great size IF you can fit it. With 3K sq ft Dave can!!
I am 70 years old its 2am LA time retired and alone you both bring joy to me with your train films would you do Z scale program sometime I only have coffee table space love model trains what you do means a lot to me I so enjoy it . I watch real trains as often as possible thank you . You are both blessed to have what you do.
Thanks!! We are planning a show on HOn3 shelf layouts. I had an N scale shelf once. Only a foot wide, but 16 feet long. Anyone can fit that. AND Karyn is thinking of building a table. BUT in "T". I'm thinking Nn3. (Z)
Fantastic layout, for a two rail O scale railway. Loved this video.
I love the realistic weathering on the models. A "used universe" as they say in Star Wars.
That's some good weathering too. Takes time to get it right.
Good to see a working layout that needs landscaping. It is always a treat to see the finished layouts but to watch a layout still in need of scenery is also refreshing. As I look over two consists of passenger trains and their engines in 0-27 I am always laid-out by the real Proto.48 units. Having that scale closer to your vision line brings a new size to this already large scale. It is almost like looking a 1:20.3 at about the same height. Job well done, you guys. The dream catcher thing was really funny. Carry on with your most excellent pursuit of "Screwing Around". Greg and Jeanne
Than is a great layout, It is like the real thing in the basement. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! It is simply great!
Wow, what an incredible layout! Hopefully you can make it back there in a year or two for a layout update. You two sure look like you're having a great time. Keep them coming.
This is a great layout! Some fun!
Thanks for sharing!
Love to see it what it's more finished. Hope David let's us come back.
Very cool thank you again
Thanks back!!
Really great video again. Yall have some of the best entertainment.

@@ToyManTelevision you do the same n ill be sure to watch your show on Sunday. Later
Living the dream! Go guys go!
So much screwing around!!!!
I love it when you visit model railroads, another amazing video, thumbs up!
MOre coming in a few weeks!
I can`t wait! Thank`s guys :)
a wonderful video as always. The detail on the rolling stock and locomotives 🚂 is just like the real things. Thanks for sharing.
So many locos too. Some still in Brass, but I'll bet there was 30+ all painted and detailed.
You two have me smiling right along with ya. Love these vid's, keep'em coming!
Thanks we will!!!! Need to find more great layouts like this. Let us know if you know of any.

Hey Toy Man: Like the Proto "O" Scale trains, they have really come along. Since you were 70 miles north of Denver, did you swing over to Greely Freight Station, in Greely Colorado. They have changed their name to the "Colorado Model Railroad Museum", and having been there in person, and wow, what a labour of love and track plan layout. Worth seeing. They run their trains like the real thing, and the train lengths are just as prototypical, hundred car trains. Maybe do a 30 minute show?
Impressive!
Just huge. 3K sq ft. As they have made it smaller areas, hard to see how big that is.
I wanna say y'all make an excellent video and i really enjoy all of your shows maybe one day i will be able meet y'all, who knows never say never 😎 thanks again
Hi!! Heck you never know. We never know where we will end up till we end up there. Glad you like and please share with friends
Impressive layout, especially for its size.
I first though that the blue button was also missing from Windows!
G'day, Toy Man! Well, that was pretty hilarious! The 'dream catcher' getting into the act! "You what to try that again?" Lol!! ;-)
By the way, a railroad engineer must be sure not to lose his 'train' of thought, or he might go down the wrong track. Thank you for very much another awesome video, and humorous too! What an incredible layout!! "3000 Sq Ft O Scale Model Railroad... David Stewart's Appalachian, and Ohio!!"
Cheers! :D
Brew button, funny . Been watching y’all for a while now and have enjoyed it, so thanks for sharing and c u next time! Congratulations on 14000 plus subs ! Y’all deserve it !
Hi. Love to see them subs. You tube is an odd thing, we get a dollar or two for example this show has made 97 cents so far. So we do love to see people watch!! And subscribe. Tell your friends!!!!! Get them to watch.
No idea the layout the layout was being rebuilt. Saw it in MRR years ago. Fantastic layout!
I hear the old one was huge, yet about a third the size of this one!!
Absolutely amazing, but wondering if the number of ties should be about half of what's being used? Non-modeller here, just wondering about the look.
Wow I am glad I am not the only one who gets there twist tongued I mean tongue twisted sometimes.
It happens.... Sometimes a lot.
0:26 Dreamcatcher photobomb! That made me laugh. Especially you're reaction to it!
We did another shot, but used that because it was FUN.
Somewhat of a problem... What to do with the rearview dangly, when shooting video!
Sometimes it what we see IN the mirror that a problem. ANd objects there are closer than they appear. Even if they look like they are in the back seat.
Well worth the drive I'd say. David has about 2970 more square footage to play with than I do.....but I'm not jealous!!! ;-)
Amazing
Right? Huge, and all that hand laid track.........
I live in Pennsylvania so, I am very familiar with the railroads on it (except the A&O)
With Freda Calaho. Great layout HUGE!!!!!
Nicely done. Another amazing coverage of one of the family. Hope you got home safe with all the brew and dreaming distractions. Was that Foster Brooks laying down in the rear seat?
Foster and I were drinking buddies from like 1969 to last week. Or next week.
oh I'd love one of them locos & caboose in HO scale
Any plans on a update on this beautiful layout. Maybe a op session video on the side in the future
Hope to. Planning a trip there next year. Need to contact dave.
Toy Man Television ooooooooo snap. Maybe a new segment called layout revisits???? When it’s convenient of course. I’m sure your schedule is beyond packed with all the stuff you guys do.
70 miles north of Denver? I live in Cheyenne. I'd love to visit that layout.
Like 🚂
This Railroad has been featured on Model Railroader Magazine
That's cool. Need to get back into that mag. Haven't been following for a few years. Good magazine though.
I can't believe that even in so easy to work larger "O" scale hand-laid track, someone would still use "huge chunks of tie" instead of realistic throw bars, and not properly timber the crossovers.
I always enjoy your layout tour videos and of course all the other ones too. Off topic from the video, but last night IRM got their shay #5 running off of compressed air! You can check it out on Facebook at IRM Steam Team.
Cool!!! They said it would be running for Christmas, but they didn't say which Christmas!!! A year late, but WHO CARES??
Toy Man Television Yes it is very exciting to see another locomotive coming back!
I notice the switches are operated manually. Don't they make electronic switches any more?
Most "operators" like hand throw. Feels more like real operation. Unless the switch is to far away.
Again the blue subscribe but showed on my iPad only in full screen mode, and this time in the border lower right, not in the picture. FYI
You never know with that thing. Half the time it's not even there. May pop up on a nearby computer.
Yeah.... That blue button can be anywhere.. or disappear altogether!
I just now found this video. Not sure how I missed it been watching you guys for a long time. Im sorta interested in the 2 rail O scale but its so big I dont have much room. But I love the detail on these larger trains!
Can you revising the layout in 2019. From Sweden
We need to get back there for several reasons. There is one of the worlds best HO layouts close. AND a new company making HO buildings. AND it just fun.
Hi team Toy man,my wife Joanne is a major fan of Frida Carlo,is there a way I can buy her a mini Frida like the one your wife has?Thanks in advance Jon Blakeney.
14K when did this happen?!
The convention was in September. 2017.About 2 months ago.
I just run cheezy Lionel/Marx combo layout.
Nothing cheezy about that. Chessie perhaps...
Ha ha that's, great
Gotta get back out there. I hear it way better and different
If you want to keep up to date on the A&O here's the link to their web page. Lots of info there. www.aorailroad.com/index.html
What was that
?
the thing hanging in your car?
It's a dream catcher! We bagged it on the Navaho rez at 4 corners. It hangs there on the mirror, and we just tucked it behind the mirror, till we hit a bump. Hello!! Karyn's dad also made these before he passed. He made amazing things.
I know Lionel O gauge is 3 Rail. MTH AS WELL but MTH is 2 rail compatable? Is there another 2rail brand i don't know about?
MTH makes premiere locomotives in two rail!
@@ToyManTelevision you didn't know that, 2 or 3 rail
Let's see, 70 miles north of DTC would be somewhere about, say, Fort Collins, maybe? And since Fort Collins is the "Napa Valley" of really good micro beer, I can understand how you may have "brew" on the brain. Great video, as always, dream catcher photo-bomb notwithstanding. Your videos have quickly become my favorites!
