You have a very nice-looking layout, Chris. Our skills are always improving as modlers the more we do and can't help to compel oneself to make over previous scenes. It's one of the things that make this the greatest hobby because we are continually inspired to make changes and additions, always perfecting our craft and vision. It's why we'll never be done because we just enjoy creating things so much without even realizing it. We start out thinking our trains take center stage and giving them a reason for going places all while the journey is actually in the creating of the layout to give purpose for our trains even being on the layout. Take your time and enjoy the trip. It's okay to be done, but you really don't want to be finished with it. .

You do a great job Chris,I love watching your videos.

Hello Chris, very nice model railway layout. 👍👍 I like your rock design, it looks really real. American trains are always cool! Greetings Christopher

Holy smokes I don't even know where to start, but its evident the amount of time and attention you've put into your layout Chris!! With scenery being my favorite part about the hobby (besides the trains themselves lol), I really like the small details and realistic scenes you've created!

Layout looks great. The comment on the trailer park and the Amish is spot on.while working in Lancaster county for many years I was amazed at some of the ways they made a living and the equipment they had to produce the products they made. Funny that you mentioned that.

Your layout and scenery details are amazing. I dont know how you have the energy to do everything that you do. I'm hoping I'll be able to visit your layout in person as part of the TCA bus tour. Thanks for all the work you do in making the videos and encouraging us new people into the hobby.

I’m new here. Great layout, and thats abit understated Chris. Love the Ecto 1. 😂 -Thanks, Happy Rails🚂

Awesome layout and outstanding collection.

Thanks for your showing your improvements I really enjoyed it. Love your new passenger cars. Looks great.

You have a gorgeous layout Chris, I love your locomotives and rolling stock as well. Good luck with you PHD thesis - that is very admirable.

Incredible layout update Chris! It’s great how you still include lots of what you may have already covered in previous videos. I’m hoping to go in the TCA Convention and to get to meet you and see your layout! Thanks, as always, for the time you take to create and share your videos. You are an amazing ambassador for our hobby.

Great update Chris! The trailer park on the upper level turned out really nice. All the new trees make your layout look much more alive! - Ryan
