Looks good. I would put switches on the loops so the trains come switch between the different tracks. Maybe add a siding as well

Your layout is really taking shape 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Looks like you are satisfied with the progress. I would not have left the only access to rear of layout through a window. But it probably will be ok. Good luck with the rest of construction

Moving right along, Zach. Making your vision come to life must be a very satisfying adventure. I can't wait for the next installation of this project...I'm really looking forward to what you have in store. Thanks for the update.

You're doing a fantastic job with the space, and the window idea to access the tunnel is perfect. I enjoy your content brother.

Those must be the mountains John Denver was always singing about lmao Looking great!

Even though your layout is huge compared to my 4x8 I am learning things. Thanks for taking the time to show building progress. I am building a late steamers around two Railking Imperial steam locomotives. A Santa Fe 4-8-4 and 4-6-2 plus Santa Fe heavy weight Madison cars. Your swing bridge is very cool. Thanks for the wiring pointers.

Lookin’ good man!

Hey I enjoy your videos a lot and appreciate that you share resources for bridges, shelves, buildings etc. I agree 100% on the windows. No windows is depressing, even for a joyful place such as a train room. Keep up the good work!

Really looking good I'm really impressed for what you done so far can't wait to see the whole setup when he gets done

Wasn’t expecting to see that mountain there!!!! Great idea man, looks awesome so far! Keep up the good work, you’ve inspired me to really get working on my layout

Thanks for the update, Zack. The layout coming along well and looks great. A good plan isn’t executed in a day especially when you have to work. The moon looks good where it’s at-I have no doubt you’ll pull it together when it’s all complete. I really like your storm cloud you did so I know you tie everything in.

Love the two buildings between the two mountains reminds me a little of the Waltons general store just need a John boy and Ike lol

Put some Halloween Haunted Houses on the Upper Level.

Nice Upgrade On The Layout I have Been Busy I Have Been Laying Tile On The wall On the N Scale Room.then I Will Finishing The Trackwork then I shall Be Done I’m Proud Of What I’m Doing .

When I see the two mountains, I think of the old tin type cable cars that run on string to go between them😊 looks great

Dear Zach, love the way you showed the progress on the new layout section. Are you going to connect these loops to the existing part of your tracks? Even without a track connection, I think this configuration is a pretty good example of the way O-scale can be done even in a tight space. Like those mountains going up, still kind of abstractly supported by the oddly shaped press board form pieces. Clear plan on the access hatch through the window. Looking forward to seeing your next progress! Cheerio

it's fun to see it come together , I have been working on my layout for years and it is hard for me to make decisions on what to do next , but that is a big part of the fun of the hobby , i think.

Man it looks great! Makes me excited to one day build my layout!

Incredible update Zach! Looks great! 👍

It's coming along quite nicely 👍👍

Hey great vid, I might have missed it, but what is the size of this layout?

Turn moon into Death Star.......Why not

How about raising the buildings up onto a platform so your trains can make deliveries?

You're in Jacksonville Florida so am I I'm in the South Side area just started pulling out some of my old trains getting ready to set things up for the holidays😂

Hi Zack I. Just finished your updated layout video its looking. Really great I do appreciate the video cant wait for the next one.

I think it's coming along great. I'm glad you are happy with it. That's what really matters. Can't wait to see the next phase. I'm also impressed with how the cloud is holding up. I know it's been there for quite some time. When you first did it I was concerned with gravity over time and sagging but it still looks great. Thanks for sharing.

That ballaxt will look great with that track. Looks good Zach!

I really like the way you conquered the hinge problems with the lift up bridge nice work 👍😃🚂

Nice layout update! I really the floodlight tower and the rotary beacon on the mountain top. Thought that was a cool add to the layout!

GREAT JOB Zac looks AWESOME.

Thanks for the update Zak!! Its looking great so far!! Cant wait till the mountain is further along with the road you spoke of! 😊

Just make sure you can access all parts to the Miller Engineering sign. The pattern / on/off board can go bad as well as the sign. The airport beacon looks good on the mountain. The other one? Not so good. Maybe a tower with a blinking light. Hey, just my thoughts. The table looks great.

The paint color plus the grass color on the mountains looks exactly like a chia pet

I can't wait to see the finish product once its fully done.

Awesome great update looks fantastic so far

Hi Zach & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Zach & Friends Randy & Super Cool & New O Gauge Layout Thanks Zach & Good Friends Randy

Thanks for the update! GREAT!!!

Very nice! The mountains are cool and the old Lionel towers fit right in. It will be nice to see the tunnels and second level complete As far as wiring goes, four drops are pretty adequate, as long as the track connections are tight. When I was mocking-up my layout, I got away with two connections on the outer main, which is pretty long on my 24x18 L layout, with little problem. An excellent video, for sure. Keep the updates coming.

super keep the good work !

Nice add with both the beacon tower and Floodlight towers on the mountain tops

Did the circuit breaker get the modern upgrade in the vintage transformer.

Rocky mtn high looks great

Hey Buddie Nice New Layout 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Happy Railroading 😊

Very cool use of small space!

Realtrax is very robust and allows for solid power to the rail and control with DCS. I improve its appearance by painting the sides of the rails iron brown and weather the plastic track road bed with black wash to bring out the gravel texture more. Lastly, I sprinkle ballast along the side of the roadbed to break up the razor edge look.

Do you have details on the layout? LxW and the diameter of the track outer and inner?

You’re a fun guy to listen to. I’ve said before you remind of my friend Ty. He passed away in 2015. I don’t have any friends now who are into trains. Wish I did. I’m glad to see guys like you out there. Too bad you are so far away. We do come into Orlando once in a while for vacation. Love your layout and all the work that goes into it. It’s only money Zach. Ha ha. Great job.

Wow. I have the 1953 vintage NYC.
