Hi there. Just wanted to say how impressive your former layout was. Iv watched most of your videos and very inspiring. Just wanted to ask what the radius you worked to on the curves to create the L shape of the layout? Trying to work something similar for a plan in a very small room. Cheers

John Armstrong suggested, that Suggestive Ommission was the next step beyond Selective Compression. No matter the size of your layout, the thing is that you are enjoying the hobby! It's better to have a little bit of something, than all of nothing. It may not check all the boxes, however you can enjoy what you have! Such a cute lite lady! 11:23

Living in Fayetteville and passing through Aberdeen on my way to Southern Pines, I can see some familiarity of rural NC in your layout. I'm inspired to build a similar layout to make use of my limited free space and time.

As a Brit who models American Railroads and your take on a smaller layout and how you fit it all in. I can take away so many ideas and how to do it plus the American way railways are run. Great video especially the back story to justify your layout. Thank you for sharing.

This was a very nice shelf layout. And thank you for providing the information on the shelving under it. I read all the posts, so no need to tell me, for the 18th time, the dimensions of the layout! Thank you for the video. I'm now enjoying and gathering ideas from the "Somewhere Down South" layout...........

What a woman!

I see a lot of good ideas here. By chance do you have a model # for that shelf unit? I have not found it yet on Ikea. Thanks so much.

That GP10 looks and sounds so sweet!

Congrats on your new addition. Nice layout, thanks for the cool video!

Hi Alex - Love this layout, was curious of your three smaller shelf layouts you’ve built over the years which has been the most fun to operate?

Very nice shelf layout, thank you for making these videos. * subscribed * And it's nice to see your wife enjoying model trains with you, and as I'm planning my first layout, I'm hoping my wife will find this hobby enjoyable enough for 1 or 2 operating sessions per month.

How did you do those book shelves, like cut them down to size? Great video love to see you back always loved the farm rail layout

Very cool ... I'm starting an L shape point to point next week 😁👍

Excellent Work !!

That drink holder is a real nice idea 👍🏼

Trains run 5mins towards the end of the video 😐

Super cool

Great Vid , just came across it very enjoyable to watch !! One comment , you got the prototype throttle now you need prototype couplers 😂....

You have a VERY NICE looking layout!!!!! Well done!!!!

If they just could make the Proto Throttle working with WiFi to be compatible to these dead rail wifi cards you cna mount in the locos....

Beautiful layout.. I'm curious about that controller though. Is it a self built project?

Great little layout that makes sense. I also like seeing a small layout with a rural southern theme. My N scale layout is 1970s industrial New England, but the HO switching layout I'm planning is looking to be a southeast or south-central road in a rural setting like this. Great job!

hehe..."its not a perfect room..." honestly said i would be happy to have a room like that... then i had a place where i could start building my switching layout project.... ;)

I LOVE IT!!!! 😍

小さい女の子の存在感だけで、全ての意味が無効だね 世界から、争いの火種を消すのも作るのも、彼女たちなんだという事が、良くわかったよ

Very nice layout, love the rural look. Great work. 👍

Lovely layout - what we call an "Inglenook" here in the UK. Inspiration to actually get me building something rather than just armchair modelling...

Very impressive and the scenery is excellent. Proto throttle too? Very cool

Great layout! New subscriber!

Hi, I'm just starting my shelf layout and this is perfect just what I was looking for as my run around was just to big for my small home, I started collecting Southern HO and few other's a while ago and as a Brit I really had no idea about American Railways , I think I was just hooked on the Southern colour scheme and how well your Loco's run, if you don't mind I have couple of questions, what's a team track' and what if any other road names would have rubbed shoulders with Southern rail back in the day, I'm going for the 50's 60's era give or take, 40ft box cars and GP and RS locos , great layout and thanks for sharing this , Gavin

Can you show us your 2 turnout track plan for the layout?

Your work reminds me of the intense detail of lance Mindheims layout! You deserve to have a bigger layout: preferably that whole room 😂😂! Oh I feel you on the time that goes into having a full time job and raising kids . So eager to see this grow. Your yet another model railroader raising the bar really high 😅😅. Made it seem like I was there at that grade crossing

Perfect use of a small space With a growing family it would be difficult to have a larger layout and do it justice.

Sorry to see you go but hopefully you build another layout in your new home and we will see you again. Good luck. Rich

We loaded hopper cars on the l and n we could hold 7 cars on our sitting we moved the car while loading with a stiger panther tractor if it was in the fields we used a farmall m tractor . Had to uncouple with the m it would handle 3 hoppers .and we even pulled one at a time with a ford f250 pick up truck .we would off load fertilizer to

Excellent result. I can smell the Garden City, Ga. Kaiser Chemical plant. One thing that is missing - where's the kudzu??? 🤔

But BEAUTIFUL layout... great realism....NICE green growth feel. I really like how you did your grasses. Top Notch !

Add a couple of vertical curves (dips and drops) in the rail. The trick is to make sure that the I shape stays straight up and down .Too many people let the rail slightly roll over while dipping, this will only lead to constant derailments.

Took a long time before we saw some action ! But the switching layout is great. If you love slow moving switching action in a fabulous setting, this is the place to be !

Very nice. One thing you could do is to pull it out from the wall and add a loop (fold down if need be) to create some come and go staging or continuous running for breaking in or just watching trains run.

That is really sharp. I have N scale layout and often run 70s Southern Railway freights and passenger trains. I have subbed.

First time viewer but absolutely love this! Hearing you talk about balancing the hobby with family life made me feel fortunate about being a 20-something with no responsibilities, but at the same time I think the fact you have a loving family makes you even more fortunate than me. Awesome job with the scenery, feels realistic that the railroad would just pair all those industries on one track to save money on building individual spurs. The road crossing looks lovely and convincing. I believe what you were trying to say with the look of the house and the pre built structures offered is that they feel too "whimsical", like they're too happy and feel more in place with the Boomer era of the 50s where it's all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows. The house you used feels perfectly in place as a small shack hidden in the Southern East coast woods. Great layout! Great use of track planning! Great use of rolling stock and great presentation overall! You've got a subscriber.

It’s incredible what you can do in such a small space with HO scale. Gorgeous layout.

You got a very well detailed layout. looks great.

Axis and Allies and Monopoly. My guy is keeping it old school with his boardgames 😄 Great little layout!

Very, very nice--- great work!!

I grew up in Liberty, NC along the old Atlantic and Yadkin line that ran toward Sanford. You've captured the flavor of the Southern in the early 80s very well. I've considered doing something similar myself.

Great to see you post a video again!

You should watch Boomer Diorama. A former film studio effects artist. Lots of great information on his channel and an awesome layout. He has a lot of videos going back several years, all of which are well worth watching. He scratch builds everything and gives advice on how to do it realistically and make the buildings last forever.

Where did you get your overhead lights?
