I am 73 with Parkinson’s on a fixed budget, but I am starting a 4 x 8 layout. I have been collecting HO train pieces for 50 years. This includes trains, buildings, power, systems, landscaping, etc. my layout is a freelance call the Chippewa Northern. It is a subsidiary of the Canadian national with connecting rights to union pacific and Chicago northwestern.

Great video on landscaping especially where you used dirt that you sifted from your backyard! Very impressive of how its turned out so far. I'm anxious to get started on my layout. Heck I bought 7 locomotives, 12 covered hopper cars, 8 open hopper cars and 4 tankers 2 months ago if that tells you how excited I am and hadn't built the table yet lol. Thanks for sharing your videos TR and always look forward to new ones.

Wow! You are really creative with applying the ballast, dirt, sticks, etc.! I like how you soldered the power wires to the track in an earlier video. I had a model railroad layout years ago that my brother-in-law & I built over a summer when I stayed with him & my sister. We put a lot of work into it (especially he did--I was 11 & mostly just had fun!) but we got it up & running & enjoyed running the train around afterward. Thanks for your videos; they're instructional and fun!

Wow I’m very impressed. You were such an inspiration for me to have some ideas. I haven’t started the hobby yet but have been thinking about it for years and have been watching videos on and off for a while. Thank you for sharing.

Really enjoying following along with this! I'm learning a lot from you.

Nice video and tips thanks for sharing

[elmerandkevin]

I have one of those dairy queens and I painted it. I made a few videos on building it

[robertgraber]

Thank you so much for all the great help and inspiration. Was wondering if you could show a simple wiring diagram to show how you made the independent inter and outer tracks? I have the same dual controller but having trouble following the video during the wiring stage on the part two video. I am sorry if you have already addressed this earlier, I’m new to HO scale railroading. Thanks again!

Some men would say a good marriage is bliss, and still others a nice pool in the backyard. Some others would say a freshly cut lawn on Friday and now your waking up on Saturday, and for them that is bliss. What do you say?

Looks great I'm new to the ho train layout my self I'm supposed to be getting some building's for free I figured once I get them I can go from there try and come up with some of my own ideas rather than modeling a certain thing what is your opinion I'm just trying to get some ideas if you have any information or any other people please guide me into the right direction I'd really appreciate it thanks Scott

How did you carve those holes? They seem to be quite precise. Thanks for the video.
