I'm Back

Welcome back! Real nice video; you have a lot planned.  Also, that is a great new camera.  Can't wait to see videos from it.

Very nice video Max!!  That is a nice camera and tripod!  Will look forward to seeing how your plans progress!!

Very nice job, Max. Keep 'em coming! 

Thank you so much Rich! That means so much to me, especially coming from you!

Nicely done.

I'm curious about that chrome steamer on your shelf. I have a couple chrome Generals and wouldn't mind a small fleet. What can you tell me about it? Got a video or pic's?

Adriatic,

The chrome plated steamer that you see is the Lionel 115th anniversary Berkshire. It is an awesome engine. I did a video where in the end I ran it a lot, I will post a link.

Hey that's another super video and a really nice locomotive!!  Thanks for posting!

Good video! I like your layout. 

There's a lot of cool stuff happening on your layout Max! Keep up the good work. 

Mad video skills eh Mark?

Thanks Max. 

How many engines/rolling stock do you have at this point? Curious just because I was spoiled rotten with trains from my Gramps. I think you may have me beat.

(Not on rotten, you'll have to work harder for that )

That's the best ballast job on fastrack I've seen. Most don't go high enough or out far enough. Yours looks very good.

I did an inventory video of the locomotives, so at a guess probably about 60 (50 that I run often). Rolling stock I have given up on counting. 

Nice video!!

Just finding you for the first time, Max.  I'm quite impressed.  You have a passion for a wonderful hobby and it shows.  You also have a passion for videos!  Your camera presence is phenomenal.  Your videos are well-thought out.  I enjoyed listening to you, too!  I'll be "Max-Fanning" a little more later this weekend when I have time to peruse your YouTube channel.

Keep up the great work on the videos and the layout!

Wow! I thought I was lucky

 I had about a dozen when I was very young , maybe 6- 7 at once "max". But 3 only by your age. The die cast ones and maybe 30-40 cars out of ? are left.

(I was lucky  too )
