Tim Edge here-- So sad to learn of your friend and fellow railroader in his time of declining health. May God bless him and his family through this. All the added trees really fill-in your layout. Seems like always something to repair on a railroad ( just like the real ones). By the way Harbor Freight sells a hot knife blade type foam cutter makes fast time on that ash pit hole. Thanks for all you do with these videos. Take care.

Layout is getting better and better. Great tricks to solve issues. Had the same issue long ago. Did the same and fixed my issue. Tricks come from long time experience and great imagination lol. Amazing how 500 trees are not enough and 8 to 900 doesnt seem like alot. Keep up the videos . Sry for your loss.

Mike I’m sorry yo hear that your friend is not doing well. I’ll send some prayers to you all. It’s harrowing to hear about stuff like that. The addition of new trees look great! Thank you for making that video for me. I appreciate you taking the time for that. That set looks so good going around that layout! It looks right at home on your layout. Now I definitely need to look into building an El Captain train. That’s such a pain that the cars have you trouble in the process. I agree with you on what you said at the end of your video. It’s good to find problems with your layout and just fix them instead of just removing the trains that are problematic.

Hey Mike, great video as always. The layout is looking exquisite. I’m sorry that your club is losing another member, but at least he was in a position to make a conscience choice regarding his own care. I’m sorry to everyone at the club for their loss of a member. Yeah I’ve noticed those ATFRPO cars. Those are the only ones I’ve seen it have screws like that?????. other than everything I stated I wish you and your wife well and I hope everything keeps going well at the club and I look forward to your next video. Thank you for making great and fun videos to watch and I’ll keep watching.

Hopefully your club member can enjoy his time and relax. Also N scale rolling stock can be tricky. It can be weight , wheels , gauge on wheels. Plastic and etc. I have been wrestling with sound cars in N scale and figuring out minor problems to run correctly.

Mike Most aspen groves are actually single clones of the original tree. You will notice that all of the trees turn colors at the same time in the Fall. Therefore it would be prototypical to plant them in a dense clump.

I am a bit late to the party on this but an excellent video and I will save this one for sure on fixing the EL capitan set too. Love the trees too . Next step is ground cover (wink)..keep well and never stop learning ..ps ( can't wait for the mustang update) thank you as always

Hey Mike, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. My condolences to him and his family. I wish him good health. I know what you mean about plugging along until you figure out problems. The addition of all those trees makes a huge impact on the appearance of the landscape. Everything is looking great and I hope you figure out what the issue is with the lights. Until next time, have a good one.
