Great job Curt! Max your getting a very good eye with your camera, too.

Among the top 10% of layouts I've seen.

Well done indeed!! Thanks loads!!

Really Really nice conventional layout......Nice detailing and nice scenery......Thanks for sharing

Actually, when I first saw this video, around 2015, I studied it for a few days. Then took 3-4 sheets of printer paper, taped them together and had a go at the track plan. Sadly, I can't find that darn trackplan.... So I'm gonna try it again!!!

Well done, kudos to dad!

Not Too Shaby Looks Great

Wow! This is an extraordinary Lionel 027 layout, one of the best I've seen and a well thought out track plan with scenic details that fit just right.

When the Train Shop closed I got a quarter of the layout. I had it out in the front yard and some people were videotaping me because I was standing there drinking the beer and it was January and I was in my shorts because it was Florida and they wanted to rub it and about how nice it was down here. It's monsooning right now as I'm typing this and when it would Monsoon I would go into the Lanai and in the Rain the train would run better because the water would help with the conductivity. The train would start to run faster. Of course on my outside layout I did not have delicate scenery

When I saw this video in 2016 the idea of using a reversing loop that covered an entire table was a real eye opener and inspired me to change the plans for my layout. I would have written sooner but your channel seemed to have disappeared. Now that it is back, thank your dad for me. Bill.

A great job One of the better layout designs

Very nice.. While I am in HO I still like watching O27 trains run..Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Fantastic layout. Very much like the one I'm building.I wish you could come to my house and show me how you hooked up the switches in the reverse loops!

great layout

Wow! One of the better layout I have seen on youtube in a long while. Thanks for sharing.

One of the best O27 layouts I've seen!

I'm into H.O. scale, but this is a great example of an O27 layout. You should be proud of your dad's work, and he should be proud of your great video.

Classic!

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing..... Where's that one video of " Dad's trains"? I was so happy when I found it again! I love this railroad! Do you still have it running? This girl just loves her trains!!!

Very nice i love to see o-27 layouts they are more compact. Yes the curves are too tight but I don't have the space. very nice track plan and details.

Lots of fun to watch. Great mix of "toy-trains" and realistic scenery! Nice job.

What scale are your automobiles and other vehicles that make up the scenary?

That's a cool layout :)

I really like the river seen. Getting the color or water right is tricky. I think the color of this rivers water is spot on. Do you have to keep operating switches as the train goes around? Or do the switches switch automatically?

WOW! Amazing, the reversing loops are fantastic.

What they call the beep people are about o-27 size and being rubber you can squeeze them into diecast cars so there's somebody driving and they have passengers.

totally love it,,gives me hope for my small O scale layout.

Superb!

Thanks! Nice Layout,Trains,and Video.

Great looking layout! :-)

This is a really cool layout. I would love to know the loop diameters and general trackplan. Very nice!

Smokestack: It is ground foam. I used a combination of ground foam, pieces of shale and sifted sand and dirt to make the river bottom. Envirotex two part epoxy was used for the water.

Hey Max, Great layout bro!!!! Thanks!

I have a question. In your river, are the green patches just paint, or is that ground foam on the bottom of the river?

Looks awesome Max!! Love the scenery! Did he expand it?

In my would, Space, is the ultimate fronter.

Do you run the whole track with the ZW-Transformer.

I love the dirt road. Where do you find your scenery techniques?

This railroad is really cool! Love the scenery! How long did it take to build?

Thank you, pooky. I thought perhaps a relay was being used.

I have seen one of your newer videos with the table that is next to this RXR.... will you consider joining the two and connecting the for a longer run?

Nice!

I have a question about the reversing loops: How do you get the switch tracks to alternate without causing a derailment? Does the train plow right through them or are they electronically triggered? Please let me know. I really like the way the operate. Thanks.

i dont know .dads railroad. he might need slapped around a little bit. just playing around.

Who could not Like this?

I hope this layout survive is Creator's death so many toy train layout get destroyed after their creator dies. This is the kind of layout you could just fire up and run it ranged and look it up for hours and it is nice that they don't have all the bulshit sound effects like they have nowadays along with all of the unrepairable Electronics unbelievable prices. I love how on a small 027 layout that everything from the building to the train to the track Transformer Machinery is All American made. I love the fact that on all of the Marx telephone poles they have the company symbol on the bottom along with made in USA.

Isn't it nice just to hear the train run without all the bullshit sound effects that they have today. I remember reading an article in Model Railroader about a train club and they had to switch fail because it wore out after fifty years of use. If Lionel that's stuck to their main business of making toy trains and not pissing away all their money buying fishing gear equipment and stereo company should making Walden stupid toys that they got into. I like the fact that there are no Lionel toy train accessories that are noisy and unrealistic, maybe good for children but bothersome to adults. Great layout and I hope it survives after its creator dies. A model railroad of any scale is a total work of art. It is a personal expression of oneself . This is the kind of layout where you can just fire up the train and let them run and have fun watching them run for hours.

Isn't it nice to see Rolling Stock that is not marred by graffiti. Graffiti is one of the signs of the downfall of America.

Nice man im on here to not finish yet but getting there im 027 man to check me out
