I am amazed what great use of space and a beautiful layout that goes to show that you don't need a huge space to have a great layout thank you Mike for sharing your absolutely amazing master peice
Mike’s staging surrounding the layout is a stroke of genius. It allows him to have 40 car trains seamlessly and without derailments come in and out of his scenes. All in a small spare bedroom.
Wow! Terry! Thanks so much for bringing my Boston & Maine/Maine Central Railroad to life through the artistry of your amazing video work! It brought me great joy to have you over and to run a few trains with you, play some music and share some great camaraderie! That's what this hobby is all about - the friendships that are made! Thanks to all your wonderful viewers for their lovely comments! They mean so much! Terry, you are a true ambassador to the hobby! All the best, Mike Hamer, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Thanks Mike! Meeting you, running some G scale with you, meeting your wife, seeing your HO, meeting your dog, playing some guitar… all a blessing I’d never have had without the hobby - as you alluded to! My video work can only go so far. Your amazing layout makes it shine!
Awesome to hear! It was an inspiration for me when I was still into HO and N. in fact, even though I do G scale because of my eyesight this layout continues to be an inspiration.
Great to see this layout again. As another posted, I used to follow this back when he posted on Railroad Line forum years ago. Thank you for this viewo
Wow.Awesome awesome awesome.What a layout and what a host.I dont think I blinked through the whole video incase I missed something. And to top it off some splendid guitar playing at the end. Wonderful thanks guys😃
remember reading that one... gteat to see it it operating. thanks for tje video to you both.. and love that music at the end... .......... here comes the sun... 😊❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That's an amazing model railroad! I probably read about it at some point over the years, but I don't quite remember. What impressed me the most is the length of the train. My railroad consumes more space, but I still consider it "small". My normal train length is between 10 and 15 cars. Thanks for posting this, Terry!
I think I should send you my Dominion Atlantic Alco for you to take vids running on your railway. I’d give you money to send it back and then I would run it on Mike’s railway. Then make a vid of it’s tour. You could make your own vids too, of course.
What a beautiful layout, amazing work. (And a nice guy too!) I used to get Model Railroader Magazine monthly for several years in the 2000s, - (even based my N Scale layout on an example design in one issue!)
Amazing detail that creates a wonderful atmosphere. Its easy to see how you could lose yourself in that room for hours. How long was that train? Had to watch again to count all 37 wagons/tankers etc inc caboose! With 3 locos 40! And a great musician as well.
Wow brilliant..reminds me of childhood in late 50/60s and my brother and I would spend hours playing with trains ( Hornsby ) that dad had set up a wooden base etc , unlike todays children’s toys made mostly out of plastic throw away stuff at crazy rip off prices, you used to have toys that you also learnt from but not nowadays..it’s unwrap look scrap into waste bin, sad very sad .
I completely agree! It is sad. My son and his friends are mostly into video games these days. I do encourage him into the real world. In fact, as I type he is putting together a brick model.
@@firstevidentenigma I support Israel’s right to defend itself. I feel bad for the regular people in Gaza caught up in it. Perhaps I should not have pointed out the Ukrainian flag in the video. In general I don’t want my channel to veer away from a focus on trains and hobbies.
