Thank you Larry for the kind words. My layout has evolved from my HO scale background to O gauge toy train with operating accessories (which didn't fit), to....I need more room. 
I've been having loads of fun building this and enjoying this great hobby again. I grew up with HO trains, had two huge layouts in my parents basement till we moved when I was 18. School, girls (married the best one), work, family, etc got in the way. When we finally bought a house I thought I could finally build a layout again. Took about 17 years till I did. I always had a loop of track under the tree each year running my HO Rivarossi Mallet and Hudson that I've had since I was little. Tried to get my son interested with Thomas trains but he never really was bitten by the bug like we are. Too many other distractions for kids today. He does enjoy watching mine run now though.
This forum has been amazing. The support from everyone and the camaraderie are wonderful. Perfect example is the post that you put together. Taking the time to comment on everyone's work is what this hobby is all about. I do try and do the same but often it's numerous "likes" to go around as I don't always have time to mention each and every post.
And I would be remiss if I finished this response without commenting on your spectacular layout and train room. One of the top 10 on the forum IMHO 
.
Thanks- Bob
