S1: E4: Layout Update: 12ft Long Curved Wooden Trestle! 

I have no business being here, nor do I know why it was recommended... I haven't touched model trains in close to 30 years, but this is awesome=)

That bridge is incredible, this is already shaping up to be an extraordinary layout. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.

While everyone else mentions the obvious, I'll just say I really enjoyed seeing chocolate being made from scratch at the end.

That's not a trestle, that's a work of art.

Eating home made chocolate while building/operating a wonderful model railway, surely life doesn't get much better than this.....

Ok, that's the most amazing model railroading I've ever seen. You are a craftsman like no other. great work.

Love seeing a passionate person doing what they love

That bridge is a sheet work of art. Truly amazing.

Deeply in awe of your skills and patience!. Oh and not just a little envious of your layout space. Thank you for the excellent and much appreciated and enjoyed content.

I am really enjoying this series, the quality and effort behind it is what makes it so special.

My Uncle scratchbuilt a 6'L x 2'H double-track curved trestle to span a small canyon on his full-basement railroad... It was quite impressive, but it was nowhere near the caliber of this one... Simply breathtaking, beautiful work...

That trestle is awesome!!!!! Can’t wait to see layout running

I am not a model railroader, but I am a hobbyist woodsmith and this was just amazing! Awesome work! Congratulations.

this is amazing! i cant wait to see how this layout turns out!

All I can say is wow. Lots of work but the final product is amazing. Thnx for sharing...

It’s been 50+ years since I ran my train set or paid attention to the hobby. I am amazed at technology changes as well as incredible set ups. I really enjoyed this video.... a train voyeur. Thanks for making the video of your labors...

I love this project do much. I hadn't even thought about model trains in 20 years, but this video took me back. Thank you so much.

Wow just wow ! , that is one hell of a bridge and a fantastic example of model engineering

👍👍 two thumbs up for sharing this video. Nice hobbies you have there. Take care

Nicely Done! Having ridden across the goat canyon trestle out here in California I can say say that yours looks very true to form.

This layout and attention to detail is just awesome. I can not thank you enough for this content.

I wish i had an imagination,and talent. Just AMAZING !!!!!!!!!

Like 300 plus people have already said, that tressel is awesome. I don't model HO or US railroads but even I'm amazed. Great modelling, well planned and in wood (lumber) too which just adds to its awesomeness!

What a beaty of a bridge you have builded!

WHAT THE FLIP THAT LOOKS GOOD

Nice job on the bridge. It looks awesome. It's a lot of work, but excellent work. I love bridges, viaducts, suspension bridges etc. I'm in the UK 🇬🇧

Thats what I call a Bridge. Awesome. Greetings from Hamburg/ Germany

Man, I'm just loving it I came a little later but better than never. You're giving me so many idea for my own hobbies thanks and great work. 🙂

Speechless. Thank you for sharing.

Hello from France ! sincerely, I never seen that before. Amazing bridge ! You have almost finish ( smile ). For the grand opening, I buy a ticket for USA.

That chocolate looks amazing! Glad I hung around after the bridge build.

Very impressive! I'm just amazed how that trestle was built an added to your layout.

Timestamp 7:34: That shot is incredible. It makes the trestle look real!

Your Craftmanship, Skill and Patience are amazing = B E A U T I F U L

Many years ago I had a layout featuring several timber bridges. I no longer have the time or space for a full layout, but I am thinking about building a few small bridges as decorations. This gives me a bit of inspiration.

Very strong bridge and I like the choco. You have great hobby's 😋👍😋👍

Love this. Plus the Rayoiner Loco is special. The Rayoiner trains use to run through my town and family worked for Rayoiner. Amazing job

Wow! Although I’m building an English layout and trestle bridges are not a feature of our railways in general I have developed a new thing called trestle envy! Thanks for sharing the building of it, it’s amazing, oh and I enjoyed the chocolate making too, cheers for now John

I could only dream of building such a set over 40 years ago. Awesome work!

One word... Incredible

That bridge and the layout are amazing. I can't wait to see it completed but at the same time, I am loving the process of it being built

I've never been interested in model trains etc, but I am hooked on these videos. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Absolutely fantastic work! Thank you for sharing this gem! Love the light-flooded room with great natural light it seems!

I’m excited to see this setup fully finished... a dream build...

I was expecting a chocolate trestle bridge........outstanding workmanship and a thoroughly enjoyable build series.

Absolutely amazing, you obviously know what you're doing... model making and home made chocolate. I wish I had that much room. Being into British railways we don't have such dramatic scenery to have such structures but it's given me something to think about.

U got a lot of time on ur hands WOW! that truss bridge was amassing, life is good for u.

Simply WOW!

All that natural lighting coming through the windows will really make this railway layout extra special. I hope your windows have a special UV coating to prevent excessive paint fade of your layout and models.

That's a beautiful structure. My uncle models trolleys, and as a kid I loved visiting his layout. He had a beautiful scratchbuilt lift bridge almost five feet long spanning the walkway through the benchwork, and I was in my teens before I found out that my dad had built it for him when HE was about 17. I work on real trains, and I've never really had any interest in building models of them, but I appreciate nice work and attention to detail. You epitomize both. Looking forward to the continued build. 👍

Wow your bridge is AWESOME! I am so impressed with all of your skills. Bet the chocolate candy is just as awesome too. Thank you for sharing!!!!

That is frighteningly fabulous.

Words cannot describe this project. Very impressive, indeed.

That is an amazing bridge. You make it look so easy. Looking forward to the scenery to be completed.

Chocolate looks Wonderfull as well.....Great Stuff.....

Excellent workmanship, wow what a beautiful trestle, very nice locomotive on it.

Absolutely amazing!

Everybody needs to see stuff like this !! Doing something as best as you can and winning.

you seem to have a knack for being able to do everything in a Big way.. I liked seeing chocolate made from scratch at home.. the various machines needed was very interesting. The presentation superb! The trestle.. amazing. Your idea about printing the radii was a great idea..then the jig to make sure it's precise. Thanks for sharing.. looking forward to the next installment.

This immense trestle looks almost impossible to build. But your step by step approach makes it seem almost easy. Extreme patience and attention to detail are the major ingredients. The final result is beautiful!

The only way those two hobbies connect for me is that you need immense patients for both. You seem to have it is spades. Loved watching both parts, well for the bridge part it was sitting wide eyed, wondering how any human could do that! For the chocolate part it was thinking how yum of a hobby that is.

Again, excellent job.

Your talent and craftsmanship is fantastic!!

All I can say is ….what skill and patience! Outstanding !

Masterpiece.

That trestle will be put in the Smithsonian...beautiful work of Art....shouldn’t tease us with that great looking Chocolate 😋😋

Sir, this is just absolutely fantastic to follow. I have seen many train tracks but this is just absolutely incredible. Hats off to you!

Imagine adding NUT, BOLT, WASHER castings to all those bents and the bracing involved in that trestle!! That would have a person sitting in a corner babbling to themselves after a while!! It will be an awesome trestle either way!!😁😁😁👍👍👍 Nice job on the chocolate, it takes a lot of steps to go from the beans to a finished piece of candy!!!

Nice bridge and tips plus the logging engine

Labour of love!

Love the bridge AND the chocolate. Brilliant!

Very impressive. I have zero patience for this, but seriously appreciate it.

The most amazingly impressive trestle I've ever seen! Just wow!

I love these videos. Somehow they're more compelling than and of the various other "project" videos I've seen. The scope of this project is truly staggering and with your other hobbies you make me feel like a bit of a slacker. But keep them coming and thank you!

congratulations, amazing bridge.

Mr. Grabbag, your trestle work is AWESOME! So inspiring. My little n scale layout can't compare, but you are providing many good ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Reminds me of the Camas Prairie RR up in Idaho. This is great fun and a wonderful way to avoid the Covid. Looking forward to your next installment

Holy 50 shades of blue balls

Amazing bit of engineering...👍

That trestle is awesome buddy. I'm a UK model railway builder so we don't have structures like that. But I can't but admire the fantastic model railroad your building. Those chocolates look tasty too lol 😂 Take care until the next update. Cheers Stevie 😎🇬🇧

Awesome work.

Ya made it look easy. Glad you were doing it. Now, you reap the benefits. That trestle looks great, too! 😁 John BC Canada

Building a trestle and making chocolate. Amazing work. Really enjoy the videos. 👍🏻

Speechless, WOW.

Wow. This is beautiful work!

Wow! That is a work of art in itsself!

Would love to have seen you constructing each individual trestle......very impressive design and detail.......the layout looks great...... can't wait to see it completed

Very impressive. I’m looking forward to the next video.

Thanks for the Awesome Video. Great Model 👍

Terrific! It looks like it came out of a giant mold - everything lines up PERFECTLY - not a piece of timber out of place - the cross braces look like one continuous piece. All that lumber looks like it would more than easily support an O scale Big Boy! Solid, strong and safe! Well done! (The one I'm building on my n scale track is a little too exciting - and NOT in a good way! Lol)

Just in one word: WOW!

Man you sure have some toy money. Wow that locomotive is nice. The bridge is perfect! Very cool.

This is the best thing I’ve seen in 2020! I don’t event like trains, not sure how this video got in my feed but I’m so glad I watched. I can’t wait to see this finished!

your doing a great layout very enjoyable to watch your progress.Look forward to more

Super awesome!

You gonna have your hands full putting scenery on that layout !

Nice work and looks great !!

Wow! Thank you for both parts of the video.

Bind Blown........WOW! Love it!

Can't wait to see how you finish out that canyon with the creek.
