A lot of hard work, and deep pockets, is a recipe for a killer layout lol! 👏
My father and I spent so many hours of my childhood building Estes rockets and we had the 110 camera. I have no idea where any of the photos are, if they exist. He passed away 10 years ago today -- I am typing this just about to the hour was when he had his second post surgery heart attack in the hospital. Those kits of cardboard and balsa were launched by us on Figure Eight Island and Singer Island, both of which had large empty lots at the time, now covered in houses. They hung on fishing line from pins in the ceiling of my bedroom. Good memories. Thank you for the video.
Great memories, sorry for your loss. I lost my father as well some years back.
This is beyond a model, it’s a piece of art.. amazing work!!
Wow thanks!
Excellent craftsmanship. Thank You for Sharing 😊
Thank you very much!
Whoa! After having found your channel I spent my time binge watching your progress and I'm deeply impressed by your workmanship. I learned so much from you by just watching. Your massive layout is beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice work on the bridge. The layout is coming along nicely!
Thanks for checking in, Orlando!
Thanks for the Christmas vlog. Your attention to detail amazes me. I only wish you posted more often. The bridge is beautiful. Can’t wait for the next update. Happy New Year to you, your family and all who see this message.
Thanks, Jason! I will try to do more videos. They take a long time! I will be doing RUclips shorts soon, methinks.
This is the train layout of my youthful dreams from way back, but built by a master craftsman. Thanks for bringing us along on the journey.
19:45 - I had, built and flew an Estes 2 stage rocket way back in the 60's. It was a lot of fun. Sadly I never knew about the camera payloads. Thanks for the memories.
Welcome back. Beautiful work on the bridge. You are a great modeler. It takes a lot of patience to do that.
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
I am COMPLETELY jealous..... Reminds me of the days I had a huge HO Bachman Train layout that was controlled via Radio Micro-chips circa 1998. Bachman was Life-like upscale HO Train line..... The only thing I would add to your layout is a HO race set with a pair of road rail crossing incorporated within your layout...... Nothing like running a race while avoiding contact with passing rail cars..... Great job....
Love your attention to detail - as well as your willingness to just do it!
Thanks so much, appreciate the comment!
Very well 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Awesome!!! It’s always amazing watching a layout come together
Thanks a lot!
I wanted the Astrocam 110 so bad when I was a kid. Amazing how technology has changed now to capture the aerial views I dreamed about getting... Cool stuff! The bridge turned out phenomenal! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words and glad you enjoyed!
Looks really great. Great job.
Thanks for the bonus Model Rocket clips. As a kid I had an Astrocam and launched it many times. A friend's father bought a Cineroc, and talked to us about it extensively. We watched the first launch and camera failed to pop off the rocket so it nose dived into ground actually landing on a road surface about 100 feet from us. The camera exploded into a 1000 pieces.
I recently built an Omega with my son and we launched it a few times reaching 1100 feet with a small altimeter in the payload section.
My 9 year old son and I love your videos, we were away at Christmas and missed this one, just getting to see it now. Great job, and thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm very new to this hobby, thank you the nice details, quality. This is a whole new world.
Thanks! Hope I can provide some inspiration!
I wish you could do more of these videos. My wife loved them but died between season 2 and 3. You do nice work.
Sorry for your loss. :(
Sorry for your loss, Curt. I'm glad your wife enjoyed the content. Makes doing things like this so worth it. I am definitely committing to doing more videos.
Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for sharing your great work!
Thanks for watching!
I loved the ending segment on model rocketry. as a kid in the early 80's I was big into model trains and rockets. I had an Astrocam. it made about a dozen flights before one of the plastic fins broke. I was never able to repair it successfully. However, I soon realized that most of Estes Rockets shared the same tube sizes and quickly swapped the nose on to another rocket. I believe it was a Sizzler that I had modified to use D series engines. I had some great pictures from that camera. wonder if my mother still has any of them... I will have to look.
also, that is a killer train layout. and the work on the bridge is spectacular.
Great memories. I still have all the photos that turned out. The ones you see in this video are a small sample.
Awesome as always. Thank you for sharing. You give me much inspiration.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
Looking at the detail of the trestles makes me wish I had time to build a layout-they'd be right out front! Currently, I'm building my dream cabin, in the woods, in the mountains.
I'm 54, spent my life working with hands in, "real world" scale, this in miniature is fascinating. I'm just learning what scale to work in etc. Thank you for these great videos
Thanks for the kind words!
What a fantastic layout. The bench work and track impecable! It runs! incredible bridges and structures cant wait to see!
Thank you very much!
Ferraris and Trains ... My inspirations too ☺️ ( yes ... The Corsa Red caught my eye)
All I can say is WOW 👌 👏
Thanks!
@@rcgrabbag 👊👊👍👍
thanks the Estes vintage rocketry info.
Beautiful and amazing. Wish I had your talent. Thanks for sharing .
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Awesome video, Jon. Just when I think each one can't get more interesting, you do another. Really amazing!
Thanks, Jerry!
Dope! What I wouldn't give to have my trains on a layout like this
You've got some great videos on your channel. Keep up the great work!
that is one hell of a trestlebridge....great model...and as fpr your "other" hobby....rocketry....quite amazing stuff.....for 50 years ago....
Thanks!
Epic build and attention to detail. Well done
Thanks!
This is truly a masterpiece and you are a master craftsman. I hope you live long enough to finish it and that I live long enough to see it finished. I’m 65.
Thanks! I will do my best!
Looks really good, almost liking real.
Brilliant!!! Just Brilliant!!
The bench footings look great!
Just binge watched all 3 seasons. Your work is amazing and I am looking forward for more updates.
Awesome! Thank you!
Very cool. Your eye for detail is great.
Thanks so much!
I waited for your next update of the layout. The detail on your bridges is fabulous. Hope season three, have time for more updates, everyone to see and enjoy.
I am committing to more videos this year. Thanks for watching!
Insane Skills. Raw Talent.
Awesome work, looks amazing
Thanks!
Beautiful work
Thank you very much!
Great video and I really enjoyed all the materials presented !!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome with the bridge
Very cool! I just love bridges and steam engines.
Wow! What a beauty!
Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing! I've read about this technique of gluing ballast 100 times in modeling magazines, but seeing it in action really cemented (pun intended) how the process works for me. Much appreciated!
Cool, glad it helped!
My father was an executive officer for Southern Pacific. I've ridden many a train, had the opportunity to go into a cab forward. Of course this first crossing with this power unit made me smile. Your work is just stunning. Very much enjoy each post. Happy New Year to you.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching. Riding trains on the SP, fantastic!
Wonderful layout, cant wait for the scenery to be started! I also enjoy building model rockets so the second part of your video was great also.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the extra content, too!
Thank you, this is very inspiring. I'd like to do this kind of thing when I create an S scale layout. I wouldn't have the skill or the space for the bridge, but I'm talking about how the rock walls/bridge supports were made and painted. The realism here is incredible. I had the Camroc!
Thanks! Glad it was inspiring!
This new video makes me so happy. Christmas is now complete!
Haha I'm glad! Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous bridge and layout!!!
Thank you very much!
I’ve been patiently waiting for a new video. Thanks for sharing much love from Vancouver 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching! Was in Banff and Calgary a few years ago. Awesome!
Awesome, keep up the beautiful work. If I lived closer, I would bring my PRR WW2 military train I custom made to test run on your layout...
That must look amazing. Thanks for watching!
That is a heck of a structure, very very nice.
Thank you very much!
You are an HO scale bridge building master! I impatiently wait for your videos. Really enjoy watching your layout progress. Stay well. -Wil 👍
Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for watching!
As always a wonderful video on the ongoing layout, the bridges are spectacular and look the part even without any surrounding scenery. I'm picking up so many tips and hints from these films. The rocketry segment was amazing! I had no idea such things existed. I was a keen user of Super 8 film in my teens, the idea of shooting footage from an actual rocket would have thrilled me back in the day. Thanks for that, I'll be looking onto this further!
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad I can help with some tips. My viewers also provide some great tips! I love the idea of rockets with cameras as well.
That's astonishing that they got an analog movie camera inside a model rocket housing with such a low mass budget.
They got even more elaborate as the years went by. My 6th grade class was allowed to build several rockets we had a discount for the rocket I wanted one of the camera rockets but they only sent so many of each price range so I didn’t get one. 😢
Yes it is! Really amazing design given the constraints.
Thx for uploading, love your work ! Keep it going !
Glad you enjoy it!
Very good work. Have a good day.
Thanks, you too!
WAHOO! Been waiting for a new video.
Thinking about building a O Guage setup for my kids soon. And this is the inspiration I need.
Awesome! You should post some videos/pics when you do!
Thanks for your advice. I have just started building my layout and your guidance has been stop on.
You're welcome, good luck!
Wow your bridge is absolutely amazing 😃 amazing work 😃
Thank you!
So etwas schönes wie sie es bauen schafft sonst nur die NATUR! Ich würde das nicht hinbekommen, niemals! Danke das sie uns alle zuschauen lassen! Herzliche Grüße aus dem schönen, fernen Deutschland!
magnificent work.
Thank you! Cheers!
You inspire me to struggle with all problems on my layout and keep working. My dream come true when i finished with house constructing and now i spend one room just for my hobby :) hope you will be able to make more often next episodes ❤
Good luck with your new house and thanks for watching!
Buitiful bridge. Hats to building this alone.
Thanks!
I enjoy your videos, thank you!
Glad you like them!
Dude! That is fantastic!! Great job!!
Thanks a ton!
I'm loving these videos so glad I subbed! They are always so relaxing to watch.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the update. Watching from Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Your layout is just full of spectacular pieces. Love getting some progress videos as you go! Merry Xmas
Wow thanks for checking in from "down under"! I was in Australia in 2014. Hayman Island and Sydney. It was awesome!
@@rcgrabbag Hayman Island must have been awful! hahaha.... Please release some more videos of your layout soon. I have been following along and I just love the size, detail and overall scale of the project? Can you do a video on the trackplan at all? Curious about your final control scheme also, as in a master control panel, or via PC? All the best !
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Looks very good, nice work.
Thanks!
I grew up in Hollywood CA of all places and I don’t remember how many Estes rockets I lost to various roofs of businesses that were not exactly sympathetic to my plight. Nevertheless, I will always remember how much I enjoyed assembling these rocket kits in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Especially the Star Wars X Wing Fighter that also found its way to some inaccessible roof. Thank you for sharing your vintage collection
Great memories and glad you enjoyed!
As a structural engineer who has designed many different types of bridges, buildings, and a bunch of other “stuff”, I must say you’re definitely on the right “track”. I wasn’t around in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s, but the meticulous effort being performed on this structure, it’s my professional opinion that the proposed bridge will withstand even a Lionel scale locomotive. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot!
amazing. Great inspiration.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to see the update .. The bridge is phenomenal looking.
As a side note... Just have our 10 year old daughter an Estes rocket kit for Christmas. Can't wait to use it in the Spring.
Thanks! Awesome gift for the daughter!
Yes!! A new video!!
Thanks for checking in!
Awesome work on the bridge
Thanks!
Spectacular !
Many thanks!
You’ve built a magnificent trestle and it was a great use of the rock walls for the footings. I was into the rockets when I was younger but having cameras in them must have come after my time using them, what a great idea. Technology now has us able to fly drones and control the view we get in High definition, amazing. Kudos to Carl on the FSM model. I wish I had a Carl, lol. It’s always a pleasure to see the notification that a new video of yours is available, thank you.
Thank you very much!
And yes, having a Karl is a great bonus! Thanks for checking in, Derek!
That's amazing!
Thanks!
I remember the Astrocam.
Love it.
Thanks!
Nice job looks great
Thanks! 👍
Great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Havent heard from you in some time.....hope all is good!!! Looking forward to more!!!
Thanks!
Amazing 😍
Thanks!
Fantastic 👍
Thanks!
Simply Outstanding RC.. I too wish you could post videos faster. Thank you 'Greg
Working on it!
@@rcgrabbag If you don't mind me asking, just approximately how much do you have invested in your layout? Your attention to detail is spectacular so far! I'm really really looking forward to more scenery, buildings & all of the minute detail that'll go into bringing it to life! Thanks, Greg
We did my 8th grade science project on rockets and used Estes model rockets for it with a clear payload that you could put quarters in. Basically ran 3 flights with different engines and payloads each to test how payloads affect rocket flights. Easy and fun way to do a school project with something my friend and I enjoyed, model rockets. Still have some of my smaller rockets today but wish I still had some of the larger ones, but just don't have space for them.
Great memories!
Looks good
Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful bridge! BTW, if your narrow gauge enters the line on the side it shares, i.e. common rail, then no moving point is needed. I have two such turnouts on my layout. It eliminates having to throw the switch and also the turnout motor if you're using them. A static point, guard rail and frog juicer is all that is needed and they move the standard their way and the narrow the other. Just thought you might like to know that. Now, if you're crossing the narrow over from the side it enters to run the other side, then you'd need a moving point. Love your work! ...Claude
Great tip! In fact, my next video will feature this modification and I'll be sure to give the proper credit during.
Well clever and good skills you have (UK)
Thanks! Was in the UK in 2019. Going back in 2024. Love it there!
I remember those Estes 110 cameras, and I never got a usable photo out of it in the dozen or so launches I tried in the mid 70s!
Your railroad efforts look great. I have a very large attic space in a commercial building I own and I'm tempted to put a railroad in it.... Now that we have 3D printing, model railroading seems a lot more interesting. I'd have fun making models of local buildings in the city I live in (Sunnyvale, California).
Thanks for watching! Sounds like that would be an awesome project!
Love that PFE drag, always looks exceptional. Too bad we couldn't run the coal drag at Logan with our Cab Forwards
Thanks! Stay tuned for another video before the end of the month.
Beautiful bridge! The SP cab forward looks good going across. You need to buy a pair of Tamiya Sharp Point Sprue Cutters # TAM74035 for your plastic kits. I built Estes model rockets in the late 60's, early 70's. Those were good fun!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely amazing!
Thanks!
