  1. Wow, excellent job of blending scenery, train action and operations. Those kids are sure lucky to have you stimulate their imaginations and introduce them to this wonderful hobby. Thanks for sharing great video.

  2. It is a layout creative with perfect balance in the movement by trains. I liked a lot of the video very produced and with images perfects in the clearness. Congratulations.

  3. Nice job! Looks great and the kids see enough activity there to keep them interested and maybe keep them in the hobby!

  4. I'm just starting my high rail AF project. Benchwork isn't finished yet, I'm also building a 12 x 24 room in my basement for it. Spending lots of $$$ on ebay, train shows, local train stores. The wife says I'm going through my 2nd childhood. I like the things I see here, I'm soaking things up like a sponge! Keep up the great work.

  5. It is easy to see that the level of activity in this layout is extraordinary. That is what makes this video so popular. Thanks for sharing this fun layout with all of us subscribers.

  7. Thank your for all the positive comments. I did not select the music that is with the video. The article did not mention our home town which is Highlands, N.C. It is where Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina all come together. We are wintering in Florida. We will be back in Highlands around the first of April. If you would like to contact us before then my cell number is 305 323 4180. Happy railroading! Harley Layow

  8. One has to really see this layout, in person, to appreciate its greatness and I'm happy to say that I have. It's extraordinary!!! Keep up the good work, Harley, and fun that goes with it.
