My first layout videos!

Very nice.

Looks good, nice job.

That was really cool. Best home tour I've ever been on.

When you said "carpet central" I was expecting to see a simple loop.  Needelss to say I was pleasently surprised.

Nice video.  The "rear view" gives a much better idea of long the train is.  

Thanks for posting.  

PS - that was quite a brewery.

Thanks, that was fun.

The PM 1225 is one of the best sounding locos Lionel made.

Wow! Very nice carpet central.  If my count is right...3 rooms and the hallway.  You wife must be very accommodating to allow you to run your trains through the house!  Thankfully my wife is very tolerant of my set-up in our family room which runs along the outside walls, but after seeing your set-up I would love to expand to other rooms!  However, our house is too small for that. It must have been quite bit of a task to figure out how much track you needed to run it throughout all the rooms.  How long do you leave it up?  Thanks for sharing. 

Thanks everyone!  

Kj, the layout is up all year, but Christmas villages are added during the Holidays.

She is indeed a tolerant woman.  Better than I deserve.  

I'll try to shoot some of the consist on Sat and post it up, so you can get a better feel for the size.  

I diagramed the rooms in Rail Modeler accounting for furniture, walls & such.  This is actually version #3.  The first used 036 curves, then I went to 048.  Now she sits at 060 & 072.  The extra track is used for the upstairs layout that is only set up at Christmas.

nice job on the video

Wow, really cool! I wish I could do something like this. But, I'm sure my 1 year-old would destroy it expeditiously.

That was some carpet central. Long way around. Very nice.

That's quite the carpet central. You must have acute negotiation skills to obtain such premium and extensive ROW. Enjoyed the videos.

Nice videos! What year is the Strat?

Don't worry Tom, the little ones eventually grow up and help you run your layouts.  It's the best part about being a father and grandfather!  

Rail, I think the Strat is a '91, but the '66 Martin 12-String is my favorite.  

Nice That's quite a run. I don't think it's a "Carpet Central" -- more like "First Floor Central"

Very nicely done, that's a huge carpet central layout
