Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel.
Today's video will be a layout tour, a video that has been requested several times over the last few years. I will take you around the layout starting on the lower level, and take you to the upper level, explaining the industries and how trains get from point A to point B.
This will be a two-part series once all is said and done. The second part will be a cab tour around the layout which will inevitably give you an even better idea of the mainline track plan.

The operation sessions are definitely busy, and the “fun” runs across the layout are definitely enjoyable too!

Dear Nick, very interesting how you showed the entire layout! Love the way you did the ‘ceilings’ of the different levels. Very cool how that changes the perspective sky wise. Will be cool to see how you’re going to light the levels. Cheerio

Thank you! Yes, lighting the valence is one of those projects that have been continually pushed back! It will be nice once the layout has proper lighting installed!

Very nice tour and explanation of your layout. You have done a lot of planning and your clear explanations reflect that. There will be several areas that will photograph very well, namely the rock section. You are doing things in a methodical way. This will ultimately benefit you and assist with easing frustration as you start to focus in on scenery. It's the journey not the destination. Look forward to your next update and thanks for sharing.

Thank you! Slow, steady, and methodical process, but I am liking how the layout operations are coming together. Lots of good scenic opportunities to come!

Hi Nick it’s Good To know When you started the Layout But the Real thing you Will Understand This And Listen Don’t matter When You Are Done Model Railroading is A Passionate Theraputic thing you get done When You get Done and Yes You are The Biggest Crittic Of that Layout.

@SD70ACEguy 7 күн бұрын

Biggest critic indeed! It’s always a slower process than anticipated but the results are worth it!

@barbedwirerat661 Ай бұрын

Very methodical approach. I like that the benchwork is all trimmed out with the fascias. It gives some sense of completion even though there is much yet to do. It makes it a nicer area to work and spend time as you progress through these later stages of the build.

@SD70ACEguy 7 күн бұрын

Yes, the fascia board really finishes off the layout well. Showcases the trains and the eventual scenery. Thanks for watching!

This is a great layout and it will keep you occupied for many years. Are there lights in the canopies over the layout? I'm guessing you didn't switch them on or haven't installed them yet?

@SD70ACEguy 7 күн бұрын

Yes it sure will! Would love to process the layout further! Lighting is just one of those projects that I have continually pushed back! One day soon I hope to get the valence lit up properly

@KatoOnTheTrack1 Ай бұрын

Nice work! You mentioned helix’s being an after thought. How were you going to connect both levels initially?

@SD70ACEguy 7 күн бұрын

Thank you! The levels were joined by one steady grade from the lower to upper level. Where the tracks initially started the climb to the upper level, used to enter the backdrop and come out where the large bridge scene is located. It was 3 times the grade it is now. It was both unrealistic and stalled many trains. It didn’t take long for me to change the design!
