In this video, we visit Todd Treaster’s spectacular N-scale layout. I visited his layout for a third time in May of this year 2023. His 35 by 38-foot layout nicely captures the feel of western and central Pennsylvania. In the video, our tour of the layout begins in Pittsburgh, and from there, we work our way eastward around the entire layout. What you are about to see in this video will inspire you as you work on your own layout.

Both of you ( Roy & Dj ) have videos of Todd's layout . I kid you not when I say this , at least 4x a week I turn on one of these videos and listen to them as I'm working on my train room . I will never have a layout anywhere close to this size and may never get to visit Todd's layout but im sure that no one has ever gotten more inspiration than me from Todd's work. Thanks Roy , Dj , and all the others for making these awesome videos of Todd's layout .

There's sensational, there's unbelievable, and then there's Todd Treaster. Words fail me as this is so good and almost every modellers dream. I can just imagine him sat in the cab with a line models being made while he awaits a green. Thanks for showing it Roy and thanks to Todd for making it. Cheers, Bob

At first I found this beautiful layout to be inspiring. Then I realized one would need to be a Millionaire to afford such a thing, and my thoughts of enthusiasm quickly turned to despair. Now I have to go back to my 4x10x5 garage layout with One Locomotive and Four coal hoppers

Great Video of Todd's layout Roy..... I would really like it, if all of us Keystone State Modelers could get together for a Bull Session one day. I had plans on finally attending the N-scale gathering in Altoona this year but, once again it falls on the same weekend as the State Bowhunter's Festival in Forksville. If there is a way to split the time and the driving (& maybe a Vacation Day from Work), I will try to get there. Retirement is next year and permanent layout building will commence. Finally,....the culmination of many, many years of collecting, building, & detailing will all come together. Thanks Roy & God Bless !!!!

I've come back to the model railroading first time in almost 10 years. Time has changed to be able to see many American great layouts in overseas. Building a large layout is hardly possible in Japan but I myself am preparing to build mine. I'm looking forward to watching your next video. Happy rail roading.

Such a cool layout. Since Todd has been a long time collector/operator of N-scale locomotives and rolling stock it would be interesting to get his take on how the products and the N-scale industry has changed over the decades. What things were or weren't so great in the past, and the improvements he has noticed from certain manufacturers over the years. Anyway, thanks for the video Roy!

Great video showing Todd Treasters layout, very enjoyable. My freight car fleet is now118 freight cars,6 cabooses, 5 freight locomotives, 3 Amtrak locomotives, 17 Amtrak cars, the 10 car Southern Pacific Daylight set & the GS-4 number 4449 which is my excursion train. I recently did a template for my planned pedestrian foot bridges for my model railroad as I want to build two of them.

very very nice video roy you captured it just right. todd has done a lot in his city scene for sure revamping it all basicly. a lot of details that now else has thought of and perspective pictures and items like that. he is just one of the best modlers that we can referance today. his collection is stunning with a lot of very rare cars and locos as well as an amazing amount of trains that he has collected since he was 12 years old. yes if people are coming to altoona this year i hope if todd is open that is that people will stop in and can see this well i guess there is no other words but empire of todds. he worked very hard to have this great layout and collection and he just loves to share it with everyone. you did a fantastic job here on this video roy cant wait to see ya again maybe in sept in altoona. thanks jim

I’ve been lucky enough to see this layout in person in 2020, Todd is very kind and his whole family is generous. I was younger then and he said “ you remind me of how I was when I was a kid “ because he said he would go out at the local train crossing and wave to the engineer. I’m glad to see you posted again Roy, I’ve only now made an account but have been watching you for years. I’ll be making my way to n scale weekend so I’ll hope to see you there if you go! Ok god bless…

Hi Roy! Greetings from a fellow Penn State Alum, Class of 1977 LEC, Law Enforcement & Corrections. Will I see you in Altoona in September at the Blair County Convention Center? I found your channel about a year or so ago. Back in 1968, age 13, I received an N scale model layout starter set from my Aunt & Uncle. In no time, I had the usual 4 by 8 to start and built several layouts and the hobby lasted for about 4-5 years until college as I recall. My son, Adam, was born in 1992 and when he was 6, we gave him an O Scale Starter set for Christmas. Of course we had to set it up and made a big oblong loop around the Christmas tree, oh about 6’ by 15’ feet. New Years came and everything was boxed up. Well, from 1998 until Christmas of this now passed year (2023) it remained in the box. Since 2011, Adam has rarely been home for Christmas. In fact, for the past 5 years straight he’s had to work. (He was a resident in Internal Medicine and after finishing that, he went to work as a Hospitalist, being very busy due to Covid and understaffing.) (He’s in NJ, so he’s 6-7 hours away.) The O Scale Train came out of the box and was placed around the tree. He and everyone else enjoyed the Train. SO DID THE CATS! Gave me “The Bug” to get back into the Hobby at age 69. In fact, here’s a couple of “Kickers” for you as they say. In Your video playing right now, you begged the question: Why would anyone want to go to Altoona? VIDEO: ADVENTURES IN ALTOONA I would, but for me, it’s only 3 - 4 miles away and the Convention Center for me, is even closer. FYI, I was born at the Altoona Hospital and grew up in the area. After graduation from PSU, I worked 33 years in the County Probation Office. For the Second Kicker, I was on Amazon the other night looking at Kato N Scale Track. For fun, I picked out a rather large list of track and the Starter Set which sells for about $175. Like I said, I was very tired (now 4:27 am) and my pain medication was kicking in, as I unfortunately have Pancreatic Cancer and Spinal Stenosis. After totaling up my cart, it was well over $1,000! I started putting everything in the Buy Later Cart as I didn’t intend to make any purchases. Well, MasterCard sent me a notification I had made an Amazon purchase of over $700, through Amazon!!! WHAT? Looking into the matter, I found I had mistakenly made the purchase of 4 Kato Starter Sets. Should also have had my glasses on. Although not intending to buy the Sets, I think I’ll keep one for myself and give one to my son. The other 2, will be returned! So, I hope I get a chance to meet you. I enjoy your videos and will borrow some of your work and suggestions. Keep the videos coming. Love your layout! I am having second thoughts if I want to have a helix or two to get to a staging area. I laughed very hard as you seemed to celebrate in your way the title as “Slowest Model Railroader” I’m trying to recall, is it: Justin Case that might join you in your travels? My Personal health being what it is, I won’t be joining you on the 192 Stairs trip up to the lookout to Rail Fan.

Short story: I ordered something from the west coast. I chose ground delivery, because it was the least expensive. I was checking progress and it said Coalville, UT. I looked on the map. The map displayed Coalville, right next to a place called Echo and up the road from Evanston. Echo Canyon. Oh yes, I know that place very well. Never been there, but there is this one layout....
