O Gauge Layout Update #3 

Boy have I missed your channel and glad to see you making a series out your layout rebuild! It's good to see you, RJ and that smile on your face as you discuss trains ❤

Looks great! Those tunnel scenes with the multiple levels are great!

It's good catch up with your layout rebuild, RJ. It's looking really good. I hope the visit of your model railroad friends gave you a boost to your work so far. I like the use you've cardboard paper for tunnels and terrain. Very nice effect. Everything is falling into place!

Coming along nicely RJ! And man, when Maple wants attention she wants it NOW! Are you sure she doesn't have some Basset Hound in her? If she can hear you opening a candy bar wrapper from three rooms away then trust me, she does! Thanks for posting!

Coming along great RJ, really like the design with all the bridges and tunnels. Looking forward to that river bottom when you get to it!

A great update! The layout is certainly coming along quite nicely. The town is real neat and the SuperStreets trolley line really makes it pop, for sure. Maple seems to be a good helper. My stupid cats would just come in, lounge around and not care, either way.😉 A fine update and excellent video, as always.

Wow, looking great! I’ve been following you for a while. I don’t think I’ve ever commented before, but I like to see fellow train enthusiasts who might be local-ish to me and what types of trains they run and how they have their layouts… Country, farmland, mountains, urban, things like that. Anyway, it is looking really great, nice work!

You've made great progress RJ! I made the same mistake when weathering my track. I painted the whole layout at once, let it all dry, then spent hours and hours scrubbing with an abrasive track cleaning pad. Can't wait to see what you have next!

Looking good RJ! Great progress, I'm liking the buildings and train station layouts.

Wow, RJ, you have made some great progress! I'm really enjoying your updates. Maple clearly likes being on camera. Having been to Harpers Ferry, I really like that you are working to replicate what you can of the Harpers Ferry area. RJ, you might want to cover the brown paper hillsides with some plaster cloth before adding the Sculptamold. The plaster cloth with give you an even more solid base on which to apply the Sculptamold. Just a thought. Keep up the great work! Bill B.

Recently I started following your channel, I don't remember if I've ever commented. Your layout is looking super awesome! Keep up the good work!

The layout is looking pretty good! 😮 👍

Looking good!!! Weathering track is worth it~~~ Some mineral spirits will clean the rail tops easy.....get low odor and keep everyone happy!

Nice progress on the new layout. Your planning is paying off. funny how we plan on doing one thing and next thing U know we do more haha.

Lookin good! I learned the same lesson on painting track 😅

Coming along nicely!

Nice layout your building, new subscriber.

I like the tunnel interiors. Really does look like blasted rock.

Your updates are informative and easy to follow. There is a lot of work that goes into a layout and you are doing a great job. Thanks for taking us along.

Thanks for the update!!! Good Job!!!!

Things are looking really nice keep up the good work Thanks for sharing

Looks great RJ

Great progress on your layout, I don't have sculpting skills like that to do a fancy layout. The toy exchange in the Twin Arch shopping ctr in Mt Airy close to RBP has a couple of corgi 1:50 EM-One DC rescue Squads for sale

It's looking great!

If you haven't already done the river water, look at Marklin of Sweden's toilet paper water method. It works neat

Harper’s ferry is starting to look good.

I agree, the weathering on the track looks great!

I USED A stain pen or you could use a small brush.

Very nice 😊

You told us you got a new Amtrak Station and the next thing we see is you decided to christen it with a CSX Intermodal? I thought I was going to see passengers hopping out of the containers at that new station! 🤷

Great job!! So many different ways to weather track - I use airbrush and 1/8” masking tape to mask top of rails- lot less cleanup! Check us out on T&S trains- look forward to your progress on the layout!

I am not sure if having the buildings so far down from the train track looks good, with all the extras sound, building detail, etc it seems to me as if the town in front should be about half an inch higher so the train isn't so far up from the town, is my take on it otherwise it all is looking wonderful

Fine sand paper like 250 to 450 grit

AWSOME layout!! Quick question how do you recess the trolley streets into your layout??

RJ, what trolley do you use? It seems to have a nice low profile, doesn't sit above the road surface too much.

Question where did you pick up the little yellow locomotive?

Don’t they sell markers that weather the track

What paint did you use

AWESOME PROGRESS 🔥💪👍
