Hi Chris. Amazing job on the layout. My son just moved out and I’m rearranging that floor of the house to include a train work room as well as storage and then another room for a display such as yours. I totally love your track plan. My area could easily support something like yours. If you could post the track plan I’d love to work from it. Again awesome job. Keep em coming. Take care!
I thought I commented before. If I did, I apologize for a double post. This is a great layout. Thank you so much for sharing. You have an amazing channel. I am a huge fan.
Thanks! I saw a comment the other day but then it disappeared. It has been a lot of fun getting things up and running here. I hope that one day we can collaborate on your live show. Love watching that one! Your channel was one of those I followed before finally getting my self together :)
@@RBPTrains Thank you...we would be honored to have you on our show one day if you are up for it. If you are interested, please shoot me an email at trainbuds at gmail dot com.
Fantastic! You’ve built the layout of my dreams. Our basement was just finished. I’ll be building a permanent layout down there soon. You’ve given me lot’s of inspiration!
Ah hah! I found your track plan. Makes your layout even better . It’s such a big help seeing how to fit these big trains in your space. I’m trying to shove three O scale trains and an On30 Trolly with a dozen Christmas village buildings in a seven x twelve area. Oh, and the Christmas tree right in the middle of it. LoL
Excellent use of the area - love the thinking behind areas of separation, providing depth and interest, multi-level etc. Good to see the trains running at realistic speeds. I hate seeing race tracks. Well done on the layout and the video commentary.
A great illustration, this 2 yr. old layout overview and the February live session. No wonder Hitchcock appreciates your presentation of Lionel trains.....😉 Keep doin what'ja doin Mr.
Love this, Chris!! So much detail that I'm not able to see in - as you said - some of your other general run videos. Appreciate you sharing your methodology/approach to things as well. Full-on awesomeness!!
@ 8:00 the big rock candy mountain?.....hehe i know that song!!.......beautiful layout man, who cares if its prototypical or not..That's club mentality.... Your layout, your design, your era of modelling it's all good...We just love trains....period!
Hey! I’m a new subscriber and I just wanna say I love your videos and your layout! I recently started getting back into model railroading myself and this is a big inspiration! Keep up the awesome work!
Very nicely done. Thank you for posting. I also use the Lionel Fastrack system on my layout. I fell in love with those lighted switches when I first saw them. They look far more realistic than the old Lionel switches. Their only drawback as far as I can see is the fussy and often futile method by which they attach to their lighting fixtures. Please keep up your great work.
@@RBPTrains Yes. Perhaps we should get onto Lionel's Design Department about this. Those colored lanterns on top of the switches sometimes just seem to pop off all by themselves...and I don't get a very positive feeling whenever I have to try to snap them back on either. Very annoying not to feel like they're going to remain in place, no matter how carefully I try to snap them back onto the light fixture. Still, they do look great.
In over sixty years I've seen a ton of layouts. You did a nice job, not cluttering, transitioning in short space. don't feel you need to make excuses or explain why you did what you did, everyone is a critic to one degree or another and in these politically divided times Americans just need to get over it and not feel they need to explain everything. We all differ, so what. M more of a tinplate guy but I like it.
First time viewer and new subscriber here. What an outstanding layout. Extra cool that you included the station from you dads layout! Looking forward to more vids.
Hey Chris, Love your videos, and thank you. I am new to O Scale / O Gauge (first purchase was January 2021 - Polar Express for wife). I have however been in and out of model railroading since 1978 in HO until switching to N scale in 1999, and then back to HO in 2009 and now HO and O. Since moving to Georgia from California in 2020, 2021 was the year I started building again, but small. I built a 4x8 O Gauge Christmas village layout with 2 ovals (very simple) that is displayed for Christmas and put away in storage afterwards (this Christmas being it's 1st year on display). Now I am building a 4x8 O Gauge layout for my son (and Dad too). I am planning on a small wood platform to create a tunnel and a place ontop for some scenery items. The platform I am planning on building with plywood. But I was wondering if you could do a short video on how you built your wooden raised platform section and specifically your retaining wall. I have the tunnel portals and most of the platform figured out how I will build it....but I will admit I am coming up empty on the retaining wall (or least I am not excited about methods I know of such as plaster casting, styrene sheets, etc). I really like the look of what you did and would love some inspiration / guidance on what you did. I really enjoy your layout and videos....I appreciate it and thank you. OK enough rambling from me for now lol.
I love the detail you put into your layout and having your father’s train station adds that passing down feel. I have the Davenport and Emporium from Woodland Scenic that I plan to use for a tower square shopping center that’s built around my train station, its based on my towns tower square even though we no longer have the train station. I am really excited to see more from your channel and oh by the way, I have a farm house with Christmas lights that I let shine lol.
Hi! I have a question. if I have 4 locomotives and more than 25 wagons, adding 21 curved rails of 84, plus 9 straight rails of 1 3/8 plus 21 straight rails of 30 and another 11 straight rails of 10. all of that powered by fastrack power block lock and the GW-180 180 watt transformer, is that energy enough to activate my locomotives and rails?
First time I see a CLEAN and finished O layout ! (Not from an old guy with a 40years old T-shirt ,,😉) Congrats ! My dad does N scale and I used to do HO but sold it for LEGO trains...
Does that double track bridge need a center support to remain structurally sound? I’m planning to get it for my own layout I want to build but I don’t like the look of that center support. An arched bridge shouldn’t have a support in the middle like that.
Chris, hey David Bonner from the National Capitol Trackers in DC. I would love to see a video where you explain how you built your collection? Are you the type of individual who buys a model because you like it? Or are you the type of person who was influenced by different areas of where you lived. For example my Dad grew up in Montana and I went to college in Helena and fell in love with the railroad history. Stories in my family of riding the Northern Pacific or Milwaukee Road captivated me and I became drawn to that aspect of history. So I snag Milwaukee and NP models when they are cataloged. I also got to railfan the last year of the Burlington Northern. People in my dorm complained about the noise of the trains. (The mainline of the former Northern Pacific ran right behind my dorm in Montana and was not far away) When I heard a train coming there were many times went outside to watch. Even in the middle of snow storms I did that. There was something that melted me. To stand in a heavy snow and see 5 or 6 SD40-2 hooked together breaking through the bad weather and fighting the elements with the lights, and hear the engines while feeling the ground shake. There was nothing like it in the world. Its one of the reasons why I like BN and Montana Rail Link. You have some really nice models and it would be neat to hear the history behind what you collect and why? Keep up the good work! Your other videos I am looking forward to watching.
Awesome layout Chris. The one thing I wish I could do is have a turn around track. But I just don't have the room for it 😕 My layout is complicated as it is lol. Most of the track work is done for the most part now I'm doing sidings and industrial Area & trying to fit this turntable
thanks for the great overview.!!! most folks just show closeups of their layout as if they are afraid to show a overlook view. so, i appreciate it. Also, could you tell what that beautiful engine that looks like a general you are running is? thanks tim
I Love Trains so you're the perfect person to watch I also run a tro so I know it's like to have dreams us know what it's like to break or lose trains it's pretty sad especially when people treat their train like it's their child if they lose their child it's really sad
New Sub here.. your channel came up as a one of interest .. I guess I picked a great one to check out. Looking forward to seeing the other videos that you've offered. Thanks for sharing your really great layout.
Quick question: Your main yard has a few tracks of serious length, but they seem spaced apart a lot. Is that the lead-in switches dictating the spacing? I am planning to have my tracks just a finger thickness apart - wagons about 5/8" apart. Do you see any issues with that?
Hi Peter, the spacing in the yard is fixed based on the Fastrack switches. If you are using a different type of track, you can likely get closer spacing.
@@RBPTrains Yes. I'll be using Atlas O72 switches in the yeard but will shorten the turning tracks so the switches can be spaced a lot closer. Thanks for your reply.
@@peterg321 saw you comment about you using 072 atlas track. So far, seems atlas may no longer restock any o gauge track in any of the normal places like trainworls, mr muffin, cho cho barn. Did you purchase the needed atlas track, from where. Mark me desperate.
@@file1man I 'won' a few lots at various US auctions over last 9 months. I can't afford new so buy second hand. I have about 50x lengths of 40" rigid straights left and a box of new rigid straights. I have a few O-72 switches left. Wait till I finish my upper track level and I'll see what is left over. Pete
Hi Noah - I got this from Scenic Express. Go to their Web site and check out the "Tunnel Portals and Walls" section. From there, you pick your scale and they have many great options. Thanks!
I admire these layouts-the designs that allow for scenery is something I want, but never really build for. I’ve built numerous HO fiasco’s, but the jump from “design on paper” to laying track always ends with the realization that if had another turnout here, then I could do this…and that would open up this …and the next thing you know, I’m back at the drawing board. I’m on my 2nd O layout.. The first was just slapped together so I could run my trains. Then I designed my around the wall MISC..about a year in the thought was we were moving…so I kept building, with the intent of dismantling the railroad Now, we’re not moving. And I realized in that time frame, I made a major mistake…and it was too big to correct.. So I added my reverse loop to side step it. Now I’m toying with the idea of starting over. Anyway… Does your Railroad have a name? And what are the dimensions? Thanks
Just wondering what a good track would be for long runs 10ish ft straight. Thinking about doing a ceiling/shelf track layout but don't wanna break the bank. O gauge. Lionel. I'm finding this is an controversial question. So I thought I'd ask you.
Hey Mark!- this is the MTH F7 Stainless Plated version from the 2019 V2 catalog. Part number is 20-21240-1. The B unit and non-powered A Unit are from the same catalog as well.
I'm new to the channel and I'm not sure if you've already done a video explaining this but where would you say is a great place to start for someone who wants to make a model set?
@@RBPTrains Oh I am glad! I've been binge watching all of your videos as of late since where I'm at is back in lockdown again so thank you! For keeping me entertained, keep up the great videos!
Hi Chris! I been watching your videos for about three months now and I been wondering what RBP means? You have a really cool layout there! I am about to start a S gage layout soon. I enjoy watching your videos
Are the Woodland Scenics street lights as easy to install and use as it looks on their videos? I like your details with the retired engine and tender in Bailey and the crew working on new track near one of your tunnels. Do you think you may also use some of the Woodland Scenics just plug autos? I think they may release some more modern autos in the future. But, you certainly created a great looking layout.. Maybe you could consider a hotel/motel if there is a spot, I think a building like that allows the chance to display a wide variety of figures and maybe even a taxi..
The lights were easy to install for sure. I am actually using transformer power on them. I may add some lighted autos in the future but do not have any as of yet. The hotel is a great idea! I will look into it as I agree that it adds some options for scenes. Thanks!
good stuff young man. you have done very well at your age. if i was your neighbor maybe we could run a track from mine to yours. non realistic today but fun to think about. peace
Good day. I enjoy seeing your layout. I have started back working on mine. I have a question. I saw a short clip of the layout design. What did you use to make that? I want to build a control panel with controls over laying schematics. Just a note of my layout. 072 smallest curve,099 largest. All Ross switches and gargrave track. Atlas Turntable. Modified over and under figure 8. And a few more tricks😉.
I have been a model train fan for 75 years, and I think your O Guage double reverse layout is fantastic! I would like to reproduce it in my home. Could you help me do that ? Mr. B

@@RBPTrains Oh I am glad! I've been binge watching all of your videos as of late since where I'm at is back in lockdown again so thank you! For keeping me entertained, keep up the great videos!
Chris, Where did you get the brick paper? I love the textured look it brings to your layout!
Hi Chris! I been watching your videos for about three months now and I been wondering what RBP means? You have a really cool layout there! I am about to start a S gage layout soon. I enjoy watching your videos
Are the Woodland Scenics street lights as easy to install and use as it looks on their videos? I like your details with the retired engine and tender in Bailey and the crew working on new track near one of your tunnels. Do you think you may also use some of the Woodland Scenics just plug autos? I think they may release some more modern autos in the future. But, you certainly created a great looking layout.. Maybe you could consider a hotel/motel if there is a spot, I think a building like that allows the chance to display a wide variety of figures and maybe even a taxi..
The lights were easy to install for sure. I am actually using transformer power on them. I may add some lighted autos in the future but do not have any as of yet. The hotel is a great idea! I will look into it as I agree that it adds some options for scenes. Thanks!
good stuff young man. you have done very well at your age. if i was your neighbor maybe we could run a track from mine to yours. non realistic today but fun to think about. peace
Thanks Curt! Neighborhood layout is a great idea.
Good day. I enjoy seeing your layout. I have started back working on mine. I have a question. I saw a short clip of the layout design. What did you use to make that? I want to build a control panel with controls over laying schematics.
Just a note of my layout. 072 smallest curve,099 largest. All Ross switches and gargrave track. Atlas Turntable. Modified over and under figure 8. And a few more tricks😉.
Love this!!
You should put a camera next to the track then run a locomotive by with cylinder steam and blow steam all over the camera.
Nice layout!
Thank you very much! Been watching your channel for years and got a lot of inspiration from you.
Very nice!
Thank you!
Hey Chris…. Sorry to ask this question…… I am sure you have answered this many times…. But, what are the dimensions of your layout?!?
Well done. Thank you.
Thank you!
I have been a model train fan for 75 years, and I think your O Guage double reverse layout is fantastic! I would like to reproduce it in my home. Could you help me do that ? Mr. B
