You are recreating the LA freeway system on rails.

Incredible layout! Looks like it could be in Switzerland, if you add mountains & tunnels…

So much elevation! So many curves! What a layout!

All your work is paying off and I'm still watching well done sir I appreciate you sharing your time with us

Do you PLAN on filling in all that open space with actual EARTH? If you are it's going to take years

Thanks for this combination of putting your complicated and marvelous train set together Ken! This was great to watch. You should be very proud of your creation. I'll enjoy your continued building of it. I'm so glad you have three matching engines to run on it too. It makes it very special. Keep model railroading!

Exciting. Well designed tracks. Meticulous work. Fab camera work. TYVM.

Cork has to be splitting at the center

Magnificent!

Dear Ken, funky design! Interesting to see how you built this configuration. Just curious about the grades you used. Might be you chose to use the, let’s say, high clearance. That’s of course a smart move when you anticipate you need access with your hands. Just for the experimental value, I humbly think there’s a few clearances which could have been divided. Meaning, between the upward and downward gradients. However, there’s three tracks, hence three different gradients, so I may be completely wrong. Nevertheless, have been engaging with those different gradients throughout the vid. Definitely got my attention, also for the kind of layout I’m designing and planning. Cheerio

Hi Ken, all the elevations are really great but not so easy now to build the landscaping and tree lines etc!

Hi Ken & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Ken & Friends & Randy

I love it. The recap without much of the blood, sweat or tears it took from start to finish!!! haha Looks wonderful! Great fun watching this project. Kaya does a great job of running off all of the hobo's!

I did enjoy

Love the mixed track

👍👍👍

Ken, are you sure you didn't work as a highway destine engineer for clover leafs.

These videos are relaxing and fun to watch. Wish I still had my setup, but space simply won't allow it. However, maybe someday. Great job, Ken!

Can't tell where they are coming or going - that disorientation is a great effect of what you have achieved with this clever creation Ken - well done! 👍👍👍👍👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 I do wonder how adding scenery will affect that bewildering feeling of there being more going on than there is.

👋🙂🤗👍

My head is spinning Ken.

Love Your Layout Great Trackwork.

Ken: You have a unique track layout style. Thanks for sharing that.

Great video! It's always fun to watch those first trains going around the track. Great timing to get three of them together to start!

Having watched in real time it is great to see in one sitting I can’t wait for the landscaping to bring it to life the sound effects are great what do the grand children make of them both

That is getting complicated. I like hearing the train horn. You are spending the time to make your layout realistic. Keep up the great work.

Cool Video & Layout! Lionel had a Display featuring 1 Track at 3 different Elevations, but had Mountains on Both Sides of the layout. So people looking at it didn't know which Tunnel the Train would come out! Sort of like Your Layout if you add mountains & tunnels!

Ken, what you're missing on your cars is graffiti. lol

Good looking and fun to watch. This will be a nice layout. 😊

Hi Ken excellent setup so what next to build. Take care.

Need more speed lol ..off too work I go 🌴 🐊😎

Very nice Ken!

An engineering marvel !!! Really fun to watch all 3 trains going in different directions!!

Awesome share well done lots of inclines great video enjoy the rest of your weekend

Excellent video Ken!! The bend in the handle was an intentional bend by Dietz. The bend in the handle(bail) was put there so when it was held to do signaling, your thumb was put into that bend to give you better control of the lantern when swinging it. It’s basically a thumb bend to comfort your grip.

Last time your channel popped up for me on youtube, you were having surgery on your wrist. Looks like you've recovered, that paintbrush was flying over the wood! Are you still in the garage-building business?

Ken are you going to paint graffiti on your railcars? This layout is a lot bigger than your first one. Do you remember the tv show "The Adams Family" where Gomez Adams had electric trians and he would blow them up. So do you have any fireworks planned? Just kidding.

Really enjoyed watching!

Never realised you were a railway modeller, followed your endeavours on both your carpentry and visits to Lumnah acres. Looking great

Nice

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge in this video.

Thanks for sharing your story and this video. I enjoyed watching it

Really enjoying watching your work and the enjoyment you seem to be getting out of it all. With all the over and under of the different tiers, I’m curious to know if your plan is to add contoured scenery and such as this would seem very complex or are you just going to leave it open as you currently have it. Again, really enjoy your progress. Cheers

Very nice design. You did well. Will provide a lot of action

Wow. Enjoyed your video.

Can’t wait to watch how your going to landscape and other scenery. Thanks for sharing this with us. Ron

You can always put the lantern on level 4. lol

Fantastic job! Looks amazing with all of the trains in motion. The recorded sound is so perfect. The creeper was ideal for zooming in and out. That light (gift) looks so cool. Don't know what the handle bend is for, but I'm curious. Enjoying this adventure.
