You've packed a lot of different scenes in a small space !

Great looking layout!! If your pool playing skills are as good as your R.R. skills are, I do NOT want to challenge you to a game of pool!! Thanks for the great video!!

I’m working on my 4x8 right now and you give great inspiration

Hello from a train guy from Monroe NC. Once served by the Seaboard Air Line Being I came into this world in the late 1960s.I saw boxcars from the 1940 and 50s.My school was right beside the Seaboard Coast Line now CSX..I started out in ho trains but my eye sight changed.So I got out of ho trains. Went to I gauge train thanks to MTH trains.I have mainly steam.mohawks ( mountain type to us southern folks).I do have a few Lionel steamers.I have posted some videos at eric oxner here. Or at 889ts lived in a motel home for a bit ran some long freight trains..Your layout looks pretty darn good.Nevrr thought buildings trees would make a difference on a smaller layout layout. But you proved what could be done.

I’m gonna be setting up a table with a buddy of mine at the spencer shops show, If I’m not mistaken its the weekend of May 18th. Also if you’re in thomasville again my buddy runs a booth in the antique mall called “Around the Bend” located across the tracks from Mike’s. Enjoying your content so subscribed 🤟🏻

You did really good, very creative!

Loving now this layout is turning out, so much detail and scenery in a nice compact layout! Also love the custom touches to 542!

The green windows on the billiard hall were a great idea.

Looks Awesome. I like it👍👍

That's an old Atlas track plan . I recognize it. I was in HO for 60 years. Nowin O Gauge i bought some subway 🚇 train sets. I model a prosperous PENN CENTRAL and my cut off date is the BI - Centennial. 1976 short cars from the old days were still in service. No Big Boys next to a SD 70. I like Weaver trains . I also runlots ofMPC cars as well. I love American made trains. I bought a MTH Trainland hobby shop. Met Frank Sinatra there and we talked about train s. I have a ton of die cast freight cars . They seem more realistic because they are all metal and they thump thru dismonds and switches. Most people don't have the room for a club sized layout so l think a small train of metal cars is better than atrain of plastic ones. Just my 2 cents.

Appreciate the shout out and fun update video! Looking forward to seeing how the E8 comes out. 😃

Very nice update Caleb! Your layout is really coming together and is looking sharp! 👍😎

Taking a few mental notes for my n scale layout. Thx for the little bit of inspiration

Layout is looking awesome Caleb! Those Woodland Scenics buildings are super nice. Would love to see a video on how you did the bell and whistle cord, they look great! - Ryan

Great layout, Caleb!! Best O gauge small layout I've seen in a long time!! The new buildings are awesome!! Also, being from the same neck of the woods as you are, it's nice to hear of other folks in the hobby! Roll on man!!!

You can also use a yellow paint pens or any color you need. Paint Pens are pretty cool.

Just found your channel, cool layout tour!

Caleb, great looking layout with interesting structures and trains.

Great layout update Caleb! The Woodland Scenics buildings you’ve added are incredible especially having already been weathered. I’m looking forward to seeing the custom run E8’s. Keep up the great work!

Your layout is coming along nicely 👍👍

That layout is coming together quite well! Congrats! And yes, I've preordered those SUBBERN diesels! Best regards from Mexico

Your layout looks great.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Your layout is looking good. I recently came up with a very inexpensive way to stripe the roads on my layout. I produced a video of the process on my KZfaq channel.

Really sharp layout. Who made the signal/switch tower you have in the industrial yard?

Is 542 a Lionel or mth?

Depending on the era you model, the center road stripes didn’t turn to yellow intel sometime in the 1970s. Before that the center line was white with yellow stripes in your lane for no passing areas. So do accordingly for the year you model.
