Nice space, I love seeing layouts come to life from the creativity that inspired them, more updates please! Keep trains rolling!

Great setup! Love the long straights and your use of multiple curves in the back corner, instead of just a big “O” loop. Keep up the great work!

Awesome looking benchwork so far. I really like the overall size is perfect and the possibilities are endless. I will be watching if you do more video's. Thanks for sharing!

Great start to your new layout adventure. I'm looking forward to seeing the future progress. Please keep the videos coming 😃

Yesss I'm new to the hobby. Love your format. Do more videos!

Great video Marc. I'm getting ready to build my second layout as well. Looking forward to your next layout update.

Looks good, would like to see more. I love those double stacks.

Hi Marc great benchwork for a massive layout always fun to see it from the start you could call it the OSB

Great video update Marc! Your dad was telling me a little about this last time I saw him. I recently redid my layout with new benchwork and ross/gargraves, I couldn't be happier!

Want to see your layout evolve as I too am building my layout. So, more videos please.

Wow, this is going to be a great layout. Please do keep us updated. I’m interested to see not only how it goes but also how you do it.

WOW 50 feet?..... man I want to see your first run.. I also subscribed

Your layout is looking awesome 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Rock It Out Marc.

Just subscribed. Nice work. Keep them coming for us newbies.

That’s a very huge layout man🔥🔥

Yes, please...keep posting! I'm still debating Atlas vs. Gargraves for my eventual layout...

Nice Sized Layout I feel Ya My Advise Slow Passionately And Patience Don’t Rush it.Little By Little.Look It Over Think It over.

Fantastic layout so far. Would love to see more videos from you in the future!

That’s a very nice layout. Looking forward to seeing more in the future!

Nice to see you back Marc

50 feet is awesome. The layout looks amazing Marc.

I also subscribed to your channel 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Trains/planes and cars LOL looks like my basement.

H Marc, could you include a few photos of the track plan that you have in mind? So far its all looking good but I'd like to visualise what is in store for the layout. Pete from Sydney, Australia

Just saw your video! I just subscribed. What attracted me was how similar your bench work is to the layout I started in April of 2020, when I was stuck at home for a good part of that year. At the time I was able to get 1/2” MDF to use for my tabletops at an inexpensive cost. I also did use 1/2” foam glued to the tabletop and Gargraves track. For your “duck under” consider using an MTH arch bridge and hinge it to one side, or get the Mianne lift section. Either way will make life easier to get into the middle of your rail empire.

Nice introduction to your layout. You have a lot to work with and those long runs are going to be awesome. I liked that you mentioned what your focus will be and are looking ahead to the future. If I ever get the opportunity to build another layout there will be several changes including access, climbing, and bending issues. I know how challenging it can be to document your progress but if you could share your layout milestones with us that would be great. Congratulations!

Stay Single Level it’s Gonna Look Better.the Layout Will Be Better One Way Or Another.

This is going to be a fabulous lay out. I would like to ask you to consider one thing as you progress along that almost every KZfaq, and layout creator dismisses. There are a couple of us that are really interested in how the transformer lay out panel is equipped. We don’t think about it, but we spend a lot of time looking at our transformers And our switch controllers and all of the things that it takes to make the layout great. If you go to any KZfaq video, you may never see how the layout is powered whether you use new equipment or old equipment or a combination, layout panels, how they are laid out, where they are laid out, is actually pretty interesting. It may not be a focus of one of your videos, but I would like to see you include it for those few of us that are interested. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

Please do updates, really want to see progress.

Looks great so far, I only wish I had a 50 foot long run, lol I'm happy with my 8x14. But ya, awesome, I look forward to the updates.

Layout start looks great. Wish I had enough room for a 50 ft run! I agree with you on track choice, I too purchased a lot of atlas when it came out years ago but yeah, it's expensive. While the tie size is more prototypical the rail heads are too wide making it look almost like narrow gauge. But it was the flex track that really changed my choice to GG. Man it was tough to flex. GG, so much easier to flex (and cut). Thanks for the video, I found it very interesting, hope you'll provide some updates.

That's a great size , good luck in the future !

Enjoyed your video. Would love to watch your progress. 🙂

Love the video and great start on the layout cant wait to see future progress

This Is How You keep Busy.

AWESOME SPACE! I also have a channel. Glad I found you 👍 WOW, 50 Feet!👍👍🔥🔥Please keep your videos coming!

Big layout. Looks good have fun buddy

Do a lift out section to access the middle area. I did 4 on my layout to make my way through entire layout

Wow, that’s a big layout. It will be really nice when your done. I wish I had a big cellar for a big layout.. mine is miniature 6x9

Subscribed and looking forward to more videos. I was wondering what you're using for roadbed? Can you give details on the cut saw. If you could include a shot of the underneath bench work in the next video, that'd be great. I'm just starting on my 3rd layout. It will be 10'x24'. I'm using Gargraves track, and ross switches. I have 3/4 inch plywood for most of the table top (it is all from last layout). I used Homasote on my first layout and debating on using it on current build.

You mentioned that at the end about MTH systems are they coming out with a new operating system?

Nice start Marc. Sometimes simple is better, it just depends what you want. This link will take you to a drop gate that may be of interest to you. There is another video in the same group that has a video of a counter balance bridge. Looking forward to your next video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z86Rermatdu8cqM.html
