  • Here is a short overview of my 6 by 11 and a half layout. It's pretty much finished. Now I am looking to detail it in the future. Small layouts are quick to finish and the costs are less. Thank you for watching.

    It's beautiful. It's inspirational. It shows you don't need an abandoned Costco Warehouse. And 4 years to complete; many people have the misconception they have to be done in a weekend.

    This is my irst viewing of your layout. Google had just recommended it to me this morning. It says, " a small train layout". Looks really big to me. Bigger than anything I have ever had. You have done a very good effort and it shows well.

    A very nice layout. I like looking at a layout, taking in all the details. It looks realistic. Thats what I like the most. When it looks so real, like something we would see in real life. I also use an NCE powercab. I love that system. I have a sb5 smart booster so I can move around my layout with my throttle. I love your mountains. Are they mounted to the wall ? I wish my layout had more scenery, still fixing track issues. Amazing job you have done !

    Beautiful layout! Something so sweet about harkening back to the old days before HO sound equipment became available. Nice and nostalgic to hear the peaceful purr of the motors, clickety clack of the rail joints and squeaks of the wheels as the trains pass quietly by. But I gotta say, nothing but big later model and modern diesels is a downer.🥺 NO STEAM?! COME ON!! NO STEAM, NO TRAIN!! AND WHAT’S A MODEL RAILROAD WITHOUT AT LEAST 40’s AND 50’s ERA DIESELS IF NO STEAM!! AHHHHHHHH!! Just saying those big modern locomotives are awesome, but about as exciting to watch as a station wagon!! 🤓
    I know, just my opinion and opinions are like buttholes! Haha! But still, come on! Run a steamer and old diesel once in a while!
    Beautiful layout though, for sure, nonetheless! I love it all, steam and diesels!
