That's an impressive video Lee. Very realistic train length and nice variety of wagons.
Thanks Jim I have more videos on the way. As for as the length of the train you might say it’s on a Branch line instead of a main because I have no room in the garage for a main line lol. I like to have a good mix of color when I’m making up a train I enjoy it more and it’s not so boring to me.

Lee, having seen the length of some trains in the US on a main line you'd fill the complete track !
Think your mix of stock is perfect , just watching for example a coal train would be mind numbing :smiling3:

Thanks for the kind words Chris. I been building on this since 2012 and there’s no end in site yet. The U.S. had quite the color schemes in the 50s and 60s. That’s why I chose this era for my layout.

Thanks Jim. Yes they do. That’s one of the reasons I like modeling this time era.

Superb! Never ever had a train set/layout, even as a nipper, but if I did I hope it would have been something like this!

Steve thanks for the complement. I’ve always had a train set when I was kid but not on this scale. My dad bought a piece of man made material about 4x4 square for my first train set and I used that for years. I liked Trains and building model Planes back then and still do.
