Your updated layout looks fantastic, and that DJI gimbal really allows for some great panning sequences. Also like some of the scene shots where your switcher is passing behind freight cars. And then there is the very realistic clumping of scrub brush at 12:31, which looks great.

Appreciate you making this video because I did NOT know about Kadee shelf couplers, nor about the fantastic HobbyZone modular shelving systems. Also, your method for modeling piles of snow is ingenious, and I look forward to seeing how you weather them, and I also like how you closed out this video with a prototypical switching session with the camera at track level. Very immersive. Last, please consider enabling your UA-cam "Thanks" button so we can drop some appreciation into your tip jar.

Beautiful little switching layout, and I used to want a huge basement layout, but after looking at artistic railroad dioramas like your, and others, my perspective has changed, and my small bedroom / office - with three usable walls, albeit with slopped ceilings that limit the layout height - is enough for me. Especially since I can focus far more time into the small details, like you have done, which will bring my railroad to life, thus permitting immersive switching sessions.

Great work John!!!!

Omg. I didn’t realize it was you that commented! What an honour!

Awesome! Love to see guys come together for an op session

that is the big thing,, just try it and see how it goes .

Beautiful layout. Great update! Thanks for sharing. Dave

Nice looking layout! I really like your scratch built car mover. Keep up the good work!

Nice

Awesome layout, John...nice to see some ops with Heath and Don. Waiting for the live chat to drop, if you had it on.

That was interesting and very cool.

great session guys ;-) sorry I missed it live - I was on a train lol - VIA rail from Belleville to Guildwood. I love the Late Night Hobbies kit you've added. It looks great. Hope you had a fun ops session

Enjoying your work. I myself did as you did. Leaving N Scale. I like very much attention to detail, and HO is far better! I understand that for HO, you need much more space, but a shelf layout can be very satisfying. I am working by modules. So I can move, and re install.

John is it OK to use a video from your channel for a podcast I am doing on shelf layouts.

That is such a great idea for hoses ! I think I will try this.

Wow, that is a wonderfully detailed shelf layout, and I'm *subscribing* for inspiration, although I don't think I'll ever get to your level of detailing.

Very handsome streamlined C&O Hudson type locomotive,I really hope that I am able to purchase one of these locomotive models for myself in the future at some point as the C&O rr had an impressive variety of steam power.

So I know this post has been out for a while but I am also an apartment dweller and currently building my shelf layout. What more can you tell me about the Arduino?? I saw on Amazon you can purchase a starter set for $49.00 to learn some basics. I am very interested in the lighting part of it as I just think it adds a ton of realism.. How does the Arduino fit in. I also worked 14-14………

I live in the NE. this looks perfect for the season.

You sir are a natural artist. This looks fantastic. The quarter round upper trim? What an awesome look. Well done 👏🏻

Ih i see kit got yah

I love that mack dump where you buy that?? Great shelf layout by the way,.. Joe I did some old school fire trucks my layout is 70-89's did some pickup trucks with lights but wired them

About to weather some covered hoppers, and remembered you put this video out a while ago. I'll be using it as reference! Thanks for sharing your work, always looks great!

Really outstanding layout! Will have to check out just a few more videos of yours 😊

Amazing layout! I love how the backdrop makes the whole scene complete. Really excellent work. Also really cool how much attention you pay to all the details.

Very beautiful switching layout. Quite relaxing to watch your session - many thanks for sharing!

I'm also starting a shelf point to point HO scale layout in my apartment .... I was able to go 2 feet wide and made the bench an L shape 😁👍

Just rediscovered your channel thanks to meeting Ray Arnott at Central New York NMRA’s Ops Til You Drop and going through ATLP’s back catalog. Awesome stuff, glad I rediscovered you!

Found your channel, thanks to Heath. Excellent layout. 💯

All three of those locos are phenomenal. What an amazing job.

The layout looks awesome, John. You did a great job on Heath’s car. How did you get the division line between the colors so sharp?

Nice job John

Wharthe vehicles beside the switcher at start up? Thanks.

Sensational. Like you same boat had this in my head for 20 years had no idea how I would achieve it. BUT as i have just finished my overhead refueling gantry and waiting for the glue to dry on the catwalks I have several ideas. Yours is intresting and like you I have the Walthers pipe kit so I love the additional detail. I was going to use thick solder that you paint black and leave the ends silver however because my hoses will drop down they need that straight down floppy look so I will keep experimenting I have also implemented an ingenious drainage system seen from CN fuel depot. I just finished wiring i the appropriate lighting and the scene is coming along nicely should go live within In the next couple of months in the mean time next week is a show stopper I finish the costal scene where I even hand modeled my own fish and chips. Lol. Classic keep up the great work see you in the next one.

Looks great! Very nice modeling!

Great layout and video...can you please tell me what you bought from Amazon to do the lights.and light sizes ? I have bought recently alot of trackters and trailers, a lot... please thank you much , joe
