Train Layout Update | What’s Keeping Me Busy On The Model Railroad 

Today’s question: What layout projects are you working on this winter season?

I'm impressed with your layout.

Enjoy your presence and delivery. Good camera work and well spoken.

Looking great Mike. Enjoyed your layout update. Thanks for sharing

Looking great. Awesome layout

Thank you for sharing. Very nice.

Just found your channel and I'm so happy to find somebody else who models the MKT. 🙂

Slow progress is still progress. It looks great! Currently I'm in the midst of benchwork. Only 6 feet of track, but it's a start. 🤣

We Honest does make good products at good prices- quick and well-packaged shipping. I have several of their block signals-very nice.

I've been under that Hwy 50 bridge, so cool to see it on your layout.

Mike, you got me MKT motivated a couple of second hand units to kitbash a pair of ex kccx gp39-2 and a pair of ex ic gp38ac's and the ex conrail gp38 i got from you hopefully I can get them done this winter, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year keep up the great work

Great update! Looking forward to the switching layout!

Love it !!! Always look forward to your updates and incredible knowledge of the Katy . Have a merry Christmas sir

Hey Mike When Weather is Crappy Simple go Down to the Train room Work on the Layout or 2 Never forget there is No Rush on Working on them it’s A Passion not a race.for Me Working on 2 N Scale layouts My Wife’s And Mine . She Has 2 Brands Kato And Bachmann. All N All it’s Worth it.

Really nice work.

Merry Christmas buddy have good Christmas working a lot pojects

Awesome layout. I just subscribed.

Thanks for the update! I will be continuing scenery on the main 16' section of Mondovi. Might add an 8' shelf along the adjoining wall and use it for now for staging.

Excellent video 😊 and showing us your progress and projects !!! I have a few projects myself with track and scenery .

Can't wait for the grain elevator the mkt serves

hi mike !!! saw in one of your videos you fit an sp engine in/athgen gp 38-2. if buying more, try scaletrains too, certainly a notch above athgen which is still pretty good . both have great detail, but strains have better pulling power AND are much smoother running as well at about the same cost. blizzard here in western ny state ( -25 last night with 45 mph winds ) and am directly south of buffalo so i am running trains, keeping warm and regularly praying for sunshine !!! keep up the great work mike... merry christmas and blessings to you my friend !!! ps.... GO BILLS !!!!!

Nice job on the Green Ridge elevators. Very accurate. My layout will feature Sedalia north through New Franklin. I'm in the planning stages now. Keep up the good work.

Great video. I don't model MKT, but I love the paint scheme. I have a Conrail unit also that's getting a patch job soon.

I use the We Honest crossing signals in both HO and N. For the money they are pretty good. On my next HO layout I am going to use the ones with arms that I will motorise with servos. Layout is looking good and I love the updates

The highway 50 underpass looks good. Do you live in Sedalia?

Looking good as always Mike. What kit did that grain elevator come from?

Really good

Cool

love the videos, by chance to you know any hobby shops, that have any of the GP39-2's in MKT available? in dc-dcc ready?

Hey I want you to do a real life MNA video like you did with the Clinton sub but the Deerfield line runs daily to the grain elevator and possibly more and u should do one with the pleasant hill line

😊

hi mike... thanks for the note !!! just wonderin'.... who do you follow in football out in your neck of the woods ? i am figuring kansas city, cincinnati or maybe one of the texas teams ??? i am 20 minutes south of highmark stadium where the bills play and have been a fan all my life. what makes this weird is since childhood ( i played 7 years of little league and 4 in high school) i have been a bills/chiefs/vikings fan and look at those teams today !!! bills are my number one team but i don't believe they will go too far as their offensive line is poor ( rated somewhere around 16-18) and i do not think ANY afc team can beat the 49'ers or philly !!! do you do any fishing out there ??? can you tell me which of your videos shows your track plan ? you got some great stuff, my friend !!! blessings to you, mike !!!

We’re did you send out your Ho scale engine last to get weathered and ecuiped with DCC sound and start

no sd40-2"s

Great job I hope you do some of the ex Penn Central units patched MKT

mornin' mike and happy new year to you !!! sitting here having am coffee and decided to browse for more model train stuff i absolutely do not need and saw these athearn mkt 3 pack hoppers on yankee dabblers website and immediately thought of you. go to yankee dabbler website and on the left side go to "athearn & roundhouse freight cars" and you will find them for $ 87 bucks (ath18789 ps 4740) ... the description read "multi packs have unique numbers" and they also had 2 single cars but i could not tell if those numbers were different from the multi pack numbers. as i am sure you know, these are not tangent/exactrail/genesis quality so here is what i do.... i am trying some different weathering techniques ( dullcote then pastels/oils/acrylics/etc) and figure if i am going to butcher a car it might as well be something on the "cheaper" side, and boy, can i do some good butcherin '!!! as stated, i saw these and thought of you... hope this helps a bit. i do not know what to expect monday night against the bengals.... our offensive line is about swiss cheese and even though josh is a great scrambler, it seems to me he wouldn't have to scramble as much if the line could block better. as previously stated in my last note, i am a lifelong bills fan and live 20 minutes from the stadium but your chiefs and the bengals have better "o" lines.... yes, the cinci "o" line sucked early on, but they pass and run block much better now than then. my old football coach owns the local pub and he has a sign which states " BEER IS GOOD".... i have a feeling i will need plenty !!! blessings to you, mike !!! denny
