Beautifully conceived layout (of course) AND excellently edited video. Best quote: "And it IS a YV grabiron."

Thank you for such an excellent Video with so many very good Ideas, especially where Roads run into the Back Drop. I have seen the use of Mirrors to help, every time I see Jack’s beautiful Layout it provides me with some many Ideas for my own. Many Thanks to both Jack and John.

You have a wonderful layout! This hobby is all about the trains and fitting what you are able to into the limitations of what you have available. You have solved what you determined were restrictions and it all works. Using vehicles for sight breaks at crossings - fantastic. Running buildings up to and including the shape into the fascia does lead the mind into accepting continuance. Thank you for so many great ideas.

After reading Hank Johnston's wonderful book on the YV, I have admired Jack Burgess' layout for many years! This is great to get more insight into how and why he did things. Thank you for making this video and thank you to Jack for sharing!

Jerry... This is the 23rd RU-vid video that I have done with TSG Multimedia including one on the layout itself and one on the logging inclines. A number of them will give more insight into how and why I build models, etc. Jack Burgess

It’s a marvelous layout Jack and some great tips. Maybe for the first track that dead ends at the wall where you used the car you could cover the seam with a half thickness telephone pole. It would look right because the telephone in front of it would be facing the same direction so it would look like it continues to the rear. You could make it a little shorter if you wanted to force the perspective. A little silicone could cover the seam too if you didn’t want to go to the trouble of the pole. Really nice layout and scenery, thanks for sharing it.

I seem to recall an article in MR about a large PRR layout. His solution to the duck under was Pennsy style pipe handrails and a couple of steps leading down. It gave additional headroom for a small piece of aisle, and the handrails prevented accidents. Not an easy retrofit to the YV, but an excellent thing to keep in mind for anyone building a new layout with duck unders.

@DCCTRAINPlus 3 года назад

Awesome!

@tczephyr3665 3 года назад

I also have a “duck under “ While there is never a perfect solution, I finally discovered that using a mechanics rolling stool works pretty well. I place one hand on each side of the padded seat , duck and walk under. I can lay tools on the seat or put them in tray at the bottom of the stool for transporting them to the next room.

Good technical ideas for people that have had limited experience on overall layout design. I already have followed all the major points here as it seems common sense to me. Also if the 90% crossing was at an angle on the mainline it would be easier and would help out the effect of the track disappearing with trees and etc.

@yvfan 3 года назад

The prototype was a 90% crossing so I had to build my crossing the same way! Jack Burgess

@schadowolf 3 года назад

Great video and insight. Did you design/build your own armrests or commercially available? If so, where? thanks!

@yvfan 3 года назад

I built them myself...very simple. A piece of 3/4" plywood for the base with some 1" thick foam wrapped around the top, sides, and front. Then cover it with some fabric which looks somewhat like leather. Wrap the excess fabric around the front and ends and use short box nails in the bottom of the plywood to secure the fabric.

I cant see the titles of individual videos without watching the beginning of each video in the playlist as the titles are too long. Is there another option?

@tsgmultimedia 3 года назад

The thumbnails have the title/topic included usually.

For the seam, why not plaster it?

Cap't Jack... We live in the San Francisco Bay Area and there are no basements in our town since it is only about 30 feet about sea level on the high end of town. But what if I had a 30x40 basement to fill with a layout? It took me 31 years to finish my layout which included hand-laying all of the track and turnouts (the mainline is about 240 feet long and there are over 60 turnouts) as well as scratch-build all of the buildings and bridges. I started the layout in 1980. If I had more room, I may not have needed to build a multi-deck layout but I am sure that I would not have finished the layout...filling all of a much larger space with a layout might have been mentally overwhelming...
