Tug’s perseverance in the face of KZfaq and Mattel’s incompetence is truly inspiring.

And with that, things have been fully restored. Well done, Tug! Well done!

Awdry himself would be impressed with this layout. I'm so glad you were finally able to make one. You put as much passion into your model railway as your videos, and it's very impressive. I can't wait for the next update on your fleet.

FINALLY THE REUPLOADS ARE COMPLETE

Great to see this video has returned! As I commented on the original upload, thanks so much for the mention and I'm really glad you found my videos useful. Looking forward to seeing more progress on your layout in the future 👍

There we go... the video I missed out on prior to your channel's takedown. Now, Mattel, kindly do us *ALL* a solid and *BUGGER OFF. LEAVE THIS MAN ALONE. HE DIDN'T DO NOTHIN' WORTH DESTROYING HIS CAREER OVER.*

13:03 how is this scene is so funny to me, i've been keep replaying it over and over

10:24. “Help the hands from the failed 1953 pilot episode are after me.” said James in a scared voice. Lol 😂 😆🤣

Finally back to where we left off! Can’t wait to see what comes next!

I love that one dynamic shot from the station of the train leaving, it’s beautiful. Excited to see more of this layout eventually!

I love the little edits you through in your videos like the train explosion when it derailed. It really adds to the overall video

The sight gag at 13:00 got me so hard, good work

Looks great! Just a suggestion from someone who also does railway modelling, when you are ballasting the track, take a makeup brush and sweep the ballast until it settles between the sleepers. Most real railways don't have ballast on the sleepers, and I've found that using a small amount of ballast and then brushing it into place makes for a nice, clean track bed. Just my suggestion, the layout still looks great though!

Those realistic North Westerns look *really* good running on this layout

We finally made it to where we left off before the tragedy happened. There are still a few gaps that have still to be reuploaded, but now things can hopefully get back to normal from here.

I’m still offended that, as a Home Depot Associate, you went to a Lowe’s to get the board for the layout. Lol This is still a best motivational and inspirational video for people to get into Model Railroad no matter what country you’re from. I’m excited to see new videos you originally plan to release earlier.

this layout has came together nicely, love the way you did it

A ballasting tip from a fellow model railroader. Your best friend for ballasting is a 1" foam brush. With the brush you can level off the ballast from off the ties/sleepers. Plus the beveled edge is about the perfect angle for the slope of the ballast. Thank you for inspiring me to continue work on my Little Western layout. The benchwork, lighting, and backdrop are done. And I am now in the process of laying down the cork roadbed. Hope to soon start laying track. Keep up all of the hard work reuploading these videos. KZfaq can be such a pain at times.

I'm happy now. A shame that this was the last video to be uploaded, but I'm happy that one of my favourites from Tug is finally back online

Glad to see everything back up! It really sucks what has happened and I do hope your channel is able to thrive again without any more mishaps. Best of luck man

I am so impressed by your dedication, KZfaq practically wiped you from existence yet you still came through, truly inspirational keep it up unlucky tug

10:23 “picking up a tender engi-“ James: OUAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa-

A good model railway is a real work of art; it's nice to look at and interesting to know how it's done.

cant wait to see further development of this layout, its a really nice compact and satisfying size and style

3:38 I gotta remember that! That's SO useful!

Not sure you'll read this but I would like to say thank you. I'm currently starting a layout and feel pretty intimidated and overwhelmed, but this video really helps breaks down what I need to do and makes everything feel more simple.

The amount of effort guys you put into their model layouts is honestly so impressive. Like dude, you've got concept art and everything! The most I've ever done is mess around with Track Master and Wooden Railway tracks and sets when I was little.

So glad this video is back up. My son loves watching it. My only really critical comment I’d make it that there’s too much ballast on the sleepers…it would be like that in an old yard maybe, but not mainline I don’t think…

Out of the videos that were reupload I was excited about this one the most. You can say that I have a growing interest into model railways. I look forward to the next installment of the Tug's Trains Layout.

Ive always been interested in model trains. I was i to Thomas as a kid and my one of my doctors always wore a tie with trains on them and would give my brother and i model railroader magazines. The doctor has retired but the office still has the model in the display case in the waiting area

The long wait of waiting for a new video is up. Well done Tug! We hope on friday!

I am really impressed of your model and seeing severe custom models and some Bachman models running. It is pretty satisfying.

After waiting and rewatching everything I’ve realized you really are one of my favorite KZfaqrs everything you talk about is interesting like I could watch a video talking about paint drying and I be entertained

Wow!!!! This looks gorgeous!!!!

we are so BACK

YESSSS THEYRE COMPLETE but man do i feel sad for all the growth that has been lost but at the same i hope you can get back to where you were bro

Good to see this video back on your channel again. Unlucky Tug.

Watching your James move around always has my eyes glued ❤

I really enjoyed watching this video and it inspired me to turn my 6’ by 8’ layout into a layout more than double the size. Also the layout you have created is amazing. Great work.

You’ve done it… Thank you for your dedication.

Lovely railway! Several of your steps reminded me of what I went through with my layout. Indeed, it's a satisfying rabbit hole.

You don't know how much I awaited this video. Although the KZfaq thing must have been very hard for you, it is also a great reason to rewatch all your videos. Thank you for reuploading everything and best of luck with this new channel. Can't wait to see some new content.

Well, this was the last video you had, good to see it back up. Good luck on making new videos that you have waiting. By the way, great layout! ; )

The last true new video is back Lets hope the next one will be a new episode i miss waiting every friday for a new video

This layouts look really nice

It's pretty cool that his old videos are back!

So glad to see "How I Bult The Layout Part 1" is finally back after a month of chicanery

Glad This Video Is Back! I Just Wanted To See This Part Again 11:00

Almost fully resorted it's like nothing change best of luck on you're future TUG! 🙏

My god. How I have waited for the day this could come back just to know what software you used for the track layout. So glad your back to where you left off. Good luck in case of anymore KZfaq screwups

Even though I wasn’t here watching the channel when KZfaq and Mattel were being pieces of garbage, I’ve still gotta appreciate how cool this layout is especially considering the space constraints

And, we're back

Look forward to seeing the final prodict...good luck...sure it will be a great success

Love the layout my friend. Ur the best.

The Unlucky tug I'm just telling you this you might disagree with me, but on your real-life model train of James, I know you plan on swapping the tender with flat sides. I want to say I love the Bachman J 11 tender for your James because the way it looks to me it looks unique. I also wanted to ask when you are going to start making videos on your realistic Thomas model train fleet, and I'm pretty sure Donald is complete. I'm pretty sure Douglas is almost complete. I don't know about that if you could give me some answers on that. By posting a reply to this comment. I'd really really appreciate that.

A suggestion is to add some railings near the turn table slope so if an engine derails it wont fall off the table

Shame on KZfaq for causing all this confusion and delay but Unlucky tug has done us all proud in not going quietly into that goodnight !! I can’t wait to see all the content yet to come Many thanks from England

A bit more than a decade ago my dad started making his own. One of the most fun things about it as a non-builder (apart from occasionally giving trains a ride) is slowly seeing it progress over the years into a better railway. He recently took out the middle station of the three, something that had remained from pretty much the beginning. It was just a basic track layout so that he knew where everything led, and to just first get the entire whole running. But now seeing it get actual station details like ballast and signage is such a beautiful difference. In such a way am I excited to see how yours will look in a few years

love the layout man great job 👍

I could watch those trains all day 😁 Great video!

Finally to get my favorite video on the channel is back

I've been waiting for this one! starting my layout soon and this is a big inspiration, keep it up!

Really nice layout, I like how you've gone for the Thomas characters but without their faces!

This is my favourite one of you videos, nice to see it back.

I would *LOVE* a Tug's Trains on Annie and Clarabel. I am DESPERATE to know how you painted those door handles so cleanly!!!

Your layout is brilliant.

Tip: you can tap on the top of the track with something hard when laying ballast to get it off the sleepers and make it look more realistic

13:03 genuinely made me jump, i was half asleep

This video gave me enough inspiration to create a layout for a lifetime. I feel like I'm setting myself up for disaster though, your realistic takes on the RWS locomotives really inspired me to make my own. At the same time I'd like my layout to take inspiration from my local scenery and having a whole fleet of UK locomotives surrounded Australian rolling stock, flora, fauna and architecture doesn't sound visually pleasing lol Now I'm stuck between "UK inspired layout fitting for realistic Railway Series locos with the odd Australian rolling stock" or "Australian inspired layout fitting for the Australian rolling stock with really out of place UK locomotives" I have yet to find a good "middle ground" for this dilemma and worst is I can't even move on to the actual track plan phase as both countries differ in that area too, meaning depending on which I choose the I feel the track layout will differ greatly.. send help, all I wanted to do was build a model railway and I've unintentionally backed myself into a corner of procrastination and indecision

Marvelous layout I’ve ever seen! Keep up the good work!

Good on you for persevering dude, I probably couldn’t.

This was perfect for me! I plan on making a small HO layout here soon and this couldn’t have come onto my recommended any more perfect!

I am 11 rn and this both inspired me and urged me to dive in. Thank you unlucky tug

I was waiting a lot for this video to be reuploaded, this is awesome!

Tug is an absolute legend

Brilliant, enjoy the steps taken so far. Did notice this video and wanted to watch it before the channel got taken down but happy that I finally got to see it. Looking forward to part 2

Now that we have the huge changes of part 3 this video is really fun to look back on🚂🛤️

Glad to see this video back.

I really love this layout lol. Good job keep up the good work 👍👍👍

I find it so cool that Nic just has a whole room for his model railway.

Can't wait for part 2! I'd also like to make a layout of my own will used KATO HO tracks last year as for set I'm still undecided. But may do either Tidmouth Sheds with 6-7 berth and station or Kanpford Station and 5-berth shed from S1!

WHY DID JAMES SCREAM WHEN HE GOT PICKED UP HFIJPADSHLFIASHNFJKABLFK. In a seriousness though, this is a great layout. You did a great job on this one Mr. Unlucky Tug.

Newest video since the takedown, we’re all caught up now, there are some strange exclusions, like the Tugs parody dubs, and the entirety of the Thomas Debunked series, making me question if the series has been discontinued now, it’s fine if those were all videos you weren’t proud of or anything, same goes with your videos before your comeback, but was just curious about those, and wanted an explanation, but either way, we’re all caught up, made decent progress in building the channel’s audience back up, pretty much every avid fan of your channel has heard the news by now, and we can focus on a hopefully brighter future, best of luck with everything Tug, we’re all here for you

Thank you so much this will be so much help when I make a model railway!😊

And at long last we have caught up from KZfaq’s bs nice welcome fully back

Finally up to date with vids🎉

I really love that new layout, I hope that you do a Tug’s Trains installment of Donald & Douglas

HE'S DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!😃😃😃😃

12:37 Never expected you to own anything Pennsy or Broadway limited (if that is the BLI streamlined K4), but it’s nice to have the video back to enjoy again

ABSOLUTLEY BEAUTIFUL

"Everything" is back!!!!

Welcome back Mr Unlucky Tug!

I can't wait to see part 2

13:03 Why'd That Scared me i Thought the Train REALLY Fell off

"And then I tap it lightly with the spoon," had me dead lol

ive been waiting for ages for tugs to reupload this video, couldn't remember for the life of me what the program you used to design your layout was called.

I wonder when part 2 will be out, the unlucky tug should make more modeling videos.

13:03 scared the crap out of me

GIVE ME CHRISTMAS COFFEE POT RUN ME THE GLYNN EPISODES

9:34 "rock hard by morning"
