@BurningtunaDC Wasn’t to bad as I have plans for improving it. The layout was built sorta sectional so most of it is still like it was but sitting in my rafters up in my garage. The garden RR has my attention now until my kids move out and then ill take over a room with the N-scale again…just going to be a few more years but it will be going again as I have been collecting in the mean time

@Crashz9 What was it like moving to a new home and having to tear down the old layout? I guess you can salvage much of the trains, track, and buildings but that wonderful scenery you built! I am building a small N scale trolley layout but I am afraid to get too much invested in it regarding time, money, and emotion. I wonder if I should just go for it and worry about that day when it comes. Thanks for posting.

November 20th, 2011 - 01:46
Great job! You did really awesome job, can tell you are quite serious about your layout. Wish I had you around when I did my layouts back in the late 80′s! Great!

November 20th, 2011 - 02:30
Great layout, wow!!
November 20th, 2011 - 02:52
never knew N scale could look so 1:1…..
November 20th, 2011 - 03:24
slow it down for more realism.
November 20th, 2011 - 03:58
Wow, it look so real.

A big thumbs up on this nicely done video! Cool perspective from a cab view. The layout looks like an award winner with the beautiful scenery work.

Wow I was sure it was HO scale. Looks pretty good for N scale. Really sensitive acceleration and deceleration!

Code 83 track would have looked more to scale.

Thanks, It took about 8 months to get it up and running. I have since moved to another home and it’s now being rebuilt as a single level. I hope to get a new video up soon.

That layout is awesome man! How long did it take u to build it?
November 20th, 2011 - 07:03
How fun!
Next time head into a mirror so that we can see how you did this.
Is N scale half HO scale?
Thank you.

November 20th, 2011 - 08:32
lol…that was good.

as the train roared across the land, they came upon a land without any color!!!! no brown in the mountains, no green in the grass, just white. The passengers inside started to worry. lol thats an awesome layout!!!

Awesome vid, I love N scale!
I just rode across the continent aboard Superliners a few weeks ago, seeing them on your layout I was imagining myself in the windows looking out at the camera, ha!

yeah it’s fun to drive by the video feed. Layout is in my garage and the monitor is in another room. I’m thinking of doing a layout that is for video driving only. Drive trains around from the engineers seat just need to finish the signaling first.
I get most of my video gear from HobbyWireless (dot) com.
