I posted a similar video in the layout section and got an email that I should do it again with more trains running. So here you go.

Nice! Thanks.
Need oil somewhere - lots of squeaking
Exceptional!! One of the best layouts I’ve ever seen! J
This is really a cool layout - so many things we can learn just by viewing your video!
That was a fun tour, and one awesome layout. Thanks for sharing.
This re-kindled an idea in me that Lionel had many years ago, as the internet was just getting started, when CEO Gary Moreau introduced Railscope, and how layout operators would be able to share their layouts with people far away. I surmise Youtube is now the defactor standard, though I think on-board cams require a bit of expertise and customization.
Fabulous, spectacular layout, Steve!! As you mention in your excellent OGR article, it is so preferable (for so many reasons) to have a walk-around layout if space permits.
Wow, very nice. What are the dimensions of the layout?
Thanks guys.
necrails it’s 28x36
Very nice
Impressive. Good train speeds, too. I love a creeping 0-8-8-0 drag freight here and there as much as the next guy, but most trains move along at the best speed reasonably possible and permitted.
Weathering nice. I wish that I was at your layout modeling level.
Very nice. Are the wall penetrations just for visual breaks or structural? Creates nice separation of scenes.

Thanks again!
Bob the layout used to stop at the wall. When I decided to expand I cut through into the next room. There is a lally column in the wall so kind of both.
Very nice layout. Thanks for showing it to all of us.
Magnificent!!
WOW! Thank you fir sharing! Wonderful layout
That is one impressive layout!! Thank you for sharing.

What issue of OGR was it in?
IMO, this phenomenal layout should also be submitted for an article in Model Railroader - show what can be done in 3-rail.
That is truly spectacular!

Agree totally! This would be great for one of their yearly Great Model Railroads issue.

Incredible!

corsair: Yes, a very nicely done and sprawling club layout. But are you guys a “freight train only“ club that discriminates against passenger trains? I saw a sidelined passenger car or two, but no passenger trains. Where are they? 🤔

Thanks Vern, I run freight and passenger. It's not a club though. It's just my basement layout. There was a Reading passenger train running in the video.
Steve: OMG! I stand corrected, sir. That massive work of art is YOUR basement layout? That is absolutely amazing! And I will watch it again and be on the lookout for the Reading passenger train.
Great work, Steve and thank you for setting me straight. 👍
