  1. It would be cool if the MR&T track plan was updated to show this project and other projects that have changed the layout like the mining branch.

  2. Found this series through "User submitted videos". Watched them all and learned a lot. Well worth the viewing time!

  3. I just watched the whole series and quite enjoyed all the episodes. A lot of useable information on various techniques and procedures. thanks!

  4. This is the future of the print media, combine printed articles with video coverage….more of this is a must. Excelent series…keep'em coming. More Cody's office, more product reviews..videos of every how to article…..

  5. A great series. This and the WSOR Troy projects are inspiring my new layout. Just wish I had a bigger room.

  6. Wonderful stuff. It gave me some interesting ideas for my n scale plan where I will have an interchange yard with one of my friend's protolanced roads. I also enjoyed David's n scale switching artilces from his layout, too. Good stuff.

  7. I have to go with Edward. When I click on video 14 or 15 it keeps playing video 13. Great videos non the less!!

  8. Thanks for all of your fine ideas…. I have will use most if not all of them on my own layout…..BTW, i love the "patch" job on the MP-15ac.

  9. Thanks for including the shadow box interior details. I never thought about a window display (from the Suit Yourself shop) before. Since my N layout is at eye level, I am always looking to enhance interiors. Thanks Steve!!

  10. I loved your videos. what I like best and the same with sume of the pitchers in your magazine is that you step back and show the hole layout as if you are there,keep up the great work

  11. Thank you for a great video series that are great to US arm chair railroads out here, and a very good planing use too.

  12. Great magazine. Great video series. Cant wait to see next video and Feb 2011 copy of magazine. Already working on building Bay Junction in " N " scale. A few adustments will have to be made. LOL

  13. I have to say the same thing out here in the land of sunshine things are a lot cleaner. I have done the inda ink wash etc. and it's too much. I Light wash with some sand color and a little dusting with the airbrush do wonders.

  14. To MICHAEL ROBERTS from ARIZONA : Not everything has to be weathered. Around where I live, active companies in the food industry keep their buildings spotless, inside and out. This means having a crew wash the outside of the building once a month. It promotes to the general public that the company believes in keeping their surrounds clean and their food product safe to eat.

  15. The greatest value of this article to me, is seeing what has been written put into logical steps of physical action.It is also great to listen to the various minor problems encountered and how these have been overcome.I look forward eagerly to future editions of M.R.where your articles become animated and so meaningful.Keep up the great work.
