Nice job the RR looks good.. Like the weathering and slow operations... Thank you

This layout is awesome. Should be in a magazine.

I haven't seen too many limited size layouts. Your layout is truly impressive. The attention to detail is spot on. From the weathering and realistic landscaping to the backdrop which blends in well. Good job!

Enjoyable video John; hope you get some good overnights on your next cycle.

Just a pleasure to watch this. Unit #905 sounds really good!

Great sound, great weathering. Very impressive. Thanks!

Excellent job, both the layout and filming!!!!!!

Enjoyed the video, your switching layout looks great.

Cool switching session, that loco sounds great! First time I've seen your layout - very nice! Best, John

I enjoyed the switching video. You did a great job on your background structures and weathering them. I especially like the light blue structure in the corner. The piles of melting snow are a great touch. Your layout proves you don't need a large layout to have a great ops session. Keep up the good work.-Tom

Beautiful layout! It's not overwhelming, so you can enjoy it! 3 of us fighter pilots are watching this and we give you a thumbs up!

Outstanding realism. Well done!

Outstanding my friend! Enjoyed the video and seeing the progress you've made on the layout.

Very beautiful switching layout. Quite relaxing to watch your session - many thanks for sharing!

Remarkable detail. Realistic speed of switching out the rail cars. Nice timing in your starting/stopping procedures. This is model railroading at its best!

Nice detal on your model shelf train layout looks real gr8 stuff I've made my own self model train layout in my shed out side it's over 2 meters long 400 millimeters wide end to end my modle trains are kiwi rail locos rolling stock is s scale made here in New zealand cheers bruce from blenheim southland new zealand

Really enjoyed this. Interesting to how fun can be had with a switching layout.

Excellent. And so relaxing to watch after a hard days work..

Hi John, our good friend Roy Smith of Panama suggested coming over to your channel and view what you have done. Really impressive and realistic. Already, I can see some things you have done in the scenery department that will work for me on my N Scale layout. Thanks, John and Thanks to Roy for recommending your channel. Dean from Minnesota

Looking great. I'm starting a new switching layout as well. Can't wait to get things going.

Love your layout! You have given me many ideas for my industrial type layout.

Really like the way you film the videos.Great overall view of the action. Like standing trackside. Many thanks.

THANK YOU...for sharing. Very much enjoyed.

More of these please.

Exceptional look to the layout and you get so much mileage -- as it were -- out of such a small space. Well done, pal.

So awesome! Your layout is such an inspiration to me. Great weathering, great realism. Keep up the good work!

This is a sick layout here!

Nice video of some great switching action. Nice urban industrial scenicking, nice weathering. Thanks for sharing!

A truly exceptional model railroad! Very well done!

Fantastic layout! Great detail, excellent weathering just all round quality build! Best hobby in the world! Glad to find you friend

awesome op session John... i know that after i make a move i always say "i could have done that another way" so we learn for the next time... KUTGW & thx for sharing...vinny/cuz

Hands clapping well done. Maybe in your next video you might move some vehicles around. UPS would have never been there that long. Otherwise well done.

There is a lot to like about this layout; the trackplan, buildings, weathering and the realistic shunting. Love it !

Very, very nicely done and presented! Your track plan and structure layout is very effective, and your modeling work, sound, switching speeds and overall realism are GREAT! You can have a ton of enjoyment in your limited space. This should inspire modelers with similar limitations to do a similar project. Well done!

Really well done, John - across the board! Your structures are very realistic, the scenery is very well executed. The lighting is great. This is a very nice layout! I'm doing a 2x8, and you've given me tons of ideas and inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

Expansion without new benchmark? Universal Paper (now Saddle Creek Logistics) in Florence Township, NJ., used to have two parallel tracks for their docks. They would put ramps between boxcars to access the outside cars from the docks. Wondering if you have room for your tan building. Greatly enjoy your videos!

Enjoyed it.

Excellent switching John and love the EMD ENGINE SWITCHER & freight cars! Again I enjoyed watching..😀☺

I work for railserve and I gotta say. You got this layout just perfect.

Great job, yes you could have saved some moves, but learning is part of the fun. Good speed, sound and super modeling, I just found your site and will be watching. Old man in OR

Love that loco look forward to operating next year

That looks so fun!

Love your layout and the details!

Cool! Enjoyed it

That is excellent yes prototype railroading excellent.

Great attention to detail

great layout keep going

Maybe for retirement or if I can win the lottery or become a recipient of fortune I would certainly move in this direction of model trains as I grew up with a rail line when I lived with my parent's that was right behind the house. It's amazing how authentically model rail cars are made today even with rotating bearings. When I was a kid that's what was always the first thing that made model trains and manifest freight cars still that lesser than the reality of life sized trains - no rotating bearings and bearings that looked nothing like the life sized trains here in America. Your layout is exemplary and beckons a place I would like to park my truck next to and observe rail action switching so to speak.

Sounds like an ESU sound track! Love the scene.

Great ops thanks. Really realistic weathering

Man..if I had the time, space, and money I 110% would work on a HO scale layout, switching of course. Hopefully one day, though I doubt I'll be able to with how expensive everything is. Great layout man, you must be extremely proud of it. Looking forward to the next upload.

Roy Smith sent me. What a great layout! You chose to model winter...like Confelone's Allagash....very nice job. Conrail fan eh?

I hope the mrr press is looking at your work closely. I think you are one of the best on yt and you deserve all your success. Great vids mate.

Really enjoyed the video. I'm a fan of a switching layout. You seem to get a lot of "mileage" (pun intended) out of a small space. Well done.

looks like fun

VERY NICE!!!

Nice layout!

Cool. One camera or multiple? Makes it much more enjoyable. Great job. -Mark

Nice!!!

Hello again. I forgot to mention it in my last post, but make sure you put a blue flag on the engine tie up track. That way, the service employees are protected against any train movement.while servicing the engine. You might want to add a flashing blue LED if you're fueling/sanding at night. Regards, Tom

Wow.. awesome switching.. thanks for sharing and keep up the great work..Lance

Amazing !!!!! Nice and realistic moves. I enjoyed the conductor acting his role. Could you show us a drone view of your layout for understanding the general plan ??? Thanks you very much from Argentina.

I love that mack dump where you buy that?? Great shelf layout by the way,.. Joe I did some old school fire trucks my layout is 70-89's did some pickup trucks with lights but wired them

Your layout is truly oustanding. One of the best small switching layouts I've seen. I love your attention to detail. I was wondering who makes the corn syrup tank cars? Are they Altas, Walthers or Intermountain?

That diesel train sounds like a c15 caterpillar engine

A intermountain GP10 would look great on this layout. Or a B23-7

..great video!! Please consider lowering music volume..just a thought

Is this a portion of a larger layout or is it just this switching section. I am impressed with what you have done in this area plus the operations are cool. The cars are weathered good too. It is a nice touch having the railroad personnel on the cars and engine. Gave you a sub and like. Hope to see more.

Very, very well done. Love the weathering, the track speed, the sound level. And best of all its not a layout where the train runs in circles at 98 miles per hour. Thanks for sharing and being prototypical. Are you planning on modeling other RSSX locomotives so that it looks like they're being transferred to another industry or just going to the home shop for repairs?

Great work! What did you use for the gravel outside the ADM building ( 1:17 )? And, can you share what you use for your power lines?

Fantastic layout! Do you have a problem with the locomotive picking up the grass from the weedy track or no? I have some scenes I’d like to try that with.

Now let’s bring out those Norfolk Southern units !

Brilliant modelling and you achieved a really nice perspective effect on your photo wallpaper at the right end of the layout. How big is your layout?

Very nice. I am impressed. Question... How far apart are the vertical ribs in the walls of the building with the pipes in front at the end of the video??? I want to scratch build one like it...

Nice layout!! What are the dimensions?? Your weathering looks great, and the buildings are realistic!! Nice job!!

What decoder do you have in that? it sounds great

Hi where did you find the crew members in modern hi vis? All I can find is orange vest.

Love the snow piles.how did you make them????

where do you get that red ford SUV model. that is the EXACT SAME as my friend IRL who's also a railfan...

How did you do your videos and make the breakman on the back of the hopper car I really like your videos awesome

Re build your old layout with a bridge at the end of. Your new layout so you can have that classic yard that started this all so you can revisit the site like you never left.

Roy sent me.

Great layout,very nice,but wonder why in the video The speed of the switcher is so slow.

I am just getting started on a switching layout and I am curious, what are the dimensions of yours? Thanks!

John, I like your layout so much that I gave it a big shout-out in tonight's edition of the weekly model railroad show "Dispatch." Thanks for sharing your fantastic layout here on KZfaq. Here's the link to tonight's episode of "Dispatch": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdKBgrRmtbisf3U.html ...Roy

How did you pick up the railroad worker buy the tank car

What are the dimensions to your layout? Love the weathering!

Hi, do you used uncouplers ?

Where did you get your rail guys?

Roy Smith's Dispatch video sent me. Shelf layouts can be terrific. Here's another guy who inspired me to build one: MOG kzfaq.info/love/KcRvdN719g66eDzc2iUN1w

Good o'l corn syrup, the only tanks without placards and the reason America's getting fat. I've worked on a Railroad and often wondered, if one of these tanks were to bust open, just how big a mess would there be?

Now his on the front

Are your rail crew guys ho?

So realistic! But your crew is moving way too fast. Lets wind down that 12 hours before they send us out again.

Hi there! New subscriber here. Beautiful layout, the weathering is perfect. BTW, I've just started a channel where I could share this if you want, all credits to you and a link to your channel. Of course you're welcome to subscribe, comment and so... Thanks for your uploads.
