Your work is fantastic. Your attention to details makes for very realistic and dynamic rail operations. You are a great motivator and inspiration for me, and I am sure for others as well.

Hi Kory, the yard is going to be great. Lots of room for trains. I'm glad you changed your mind and didn't rip up your beautiful desert wash. Too much blood, sweat, and tears went into that! Lol. Well, you certainly have lots to keep you busy for a while. Have fun. See ya next time.

Looking good Kory, it's coming along....thanks for sharing....Jack

Kory, if your not careful , that is gonna grow into a large railroad !!! Mike

looking good Kory...looking forward to the next update..thx for sharing.. vinny

That's going to be a very realistic looking railroad when your done Kory. Don't forget to install Kadee magnets for realistic uncoupling between the rails somewhere in your yard.I really like mine,these work very closely to the prototype.

Great update That's a massive yard. Looks great and thanks for sharing. Dave

Hi Kory, That broad radius curve is going to look awesome! Super elevated of course! I use Peco Insul Frog turnouts, and I’m very happy with them. Mike

Ah the snowball effect. Bites us all at some point. Looking good and the plans look sound. Chuck

Can't wait to see your new yard in operation 😀👍👍

The new yard configuration looks great Kory. Thanks for the update and keep up the good work. Art...

I am looking forward to that control panel. I hope you do a series of video on how you get it built and all set up .

The new yard is looking good! If it doesn't run well rip it out and start over. -"I do want my deposit back" Same here, renting definitely comes with layout limitations unfortunately. -Charlie

Like the new yard. Looks great. I've had great performance using Peco turnouts. You may want to consider operating the yard turnouts manually. It will save you a ton of work and $$$. I designed my layout so that all but 2 turnouts are manual. Its great. Good luck whichever way you do it.

This is gonna be cool ! Thanks for the update !

Kory,I'm glad you didn't tear that scene/track work out, that would have been a sad day. I like how you are doing the yard. Grandpa Rails

Love it as always its looking really good 😃😃😃😃

Nice work. Love the look too.

Nice work, Kory! It can be a little intimidating to undertake a renovation project like this, but we almost always have better layouts as a result. ...Roy

Hey Kory, great work as usual I really like your yard change, it's looking great. It's always great to have more yard trackage for more rail cars. I always look forward to you updates.

Nice update and looking great and Nice yard .

Oh, oh, you've gone over to the dark side replacing the foam with plywood. Looking like the new yard will be massive and an improvement over the previous arrangement. I like the idea of the wind farm. The windmills are signature parts of the landscape in that area.

Greetings to you, road workers.

It's looking good. Thanks for sharing. Giving me motivation to get my new N Scale railroad started!

That’s a great redesign Kory. I love the new yard. Can’t wait to see it in operation. Keep up the good work!

Great job Korry, looking great loving the yard. Keep up the great work. Gary

You are creative and talented

Looking good......

Looks good, hope your yard woes are solved!

Looks promising Kory,good update

Sweet! Really liking the yard

Nice job, looks good.

I really like your updates. Very ballsy to rip so much up. Btw, while I appreciate you not being focused on ads, with a 9 min 57 sec video, add a 4 second filler at the end to hit the magic 10 min mark. I don't think anyone will mind.

Us modelers are never satisfied are we? Lol I love what you've done through! Great job BRO!!!

Looking forward to seeing your yard progress Kory. Interested in seeing how you do your control panel as well. Are you going to use toggle switches or touch toggles? Thanks for sharing. Randy

Kory just don't touch the mountain area that's got to be some of the best work I have ever seen. Gives me hope for mine

I like what you have done to increase your yard capacity. I am going to assume that when a car derails on your layout that you do measure the wheel spacing on the trucks? Cars and locomotives are not always gauged correctly out of the box. A few out of gauge items do slip through. Another thing you can do is add some weight to the biggest offenders or even change out the trucks or both. I am modeling in On30. I could have used ME Code 83 or Atlas track modified for On30, but I kept hearing about reliability of the PECO track. So, I decided to use PECO O-16.5 narrow gauge track. As you have learned reliable track and turnouts is a major satisfaction. It doesn't matter how good the layout looks if trains keep derailing. Take your time to get it right and the way you want it. You mention extending into the closet. I figure you are talking about extending the yard. What about a narrow rolling table with yard track that can be unfolded, rolled into place and connected to the layout? You can curve your yard to sweep onto it. When not in use it is folded up and placed in a closet or somewhere against the wall? You can extend tracks to it by using small pieces of track to between the layout and the narrow table. Sometimes an "Oops!" can also be a blessing in disguise. Your sloped section can use piles of ballast at the end of the track as car stops. This is not unusual in a yard. Extra ballast is dumped in piles. That will keep your cars from rolling downhill off the rails.

Kory, The plywood looks good and sturdy. I could barely notice the drop there. Are you bringing back the high tension lines? I have a feeling that the house trailer will be weathered and end up out in the middle of the desert? Looking Great!! Thanks for the Update!!

Thanks for the layout update, looking good. The wind mills will look great on the layout. You were having a lot of derailments with the Atlas switches? Did you figure out why? If so, can you share that? I am planning a layout and am gathering info. Thanks for sharing. Ken

Kory where did you get the n scale crossing gates from???? Help...

Kory, that's great work on your layout. And it does look like it's growing. lol Muse

layout looks great! I am planning to model similar location - what materials would you recommend for the terrain (sand, etc.)?

Check his play list...he has several vids on how to do the scenery.

What peco switches are you using? I have standard atlas turnouts on my layout. Also do I have to insulate at all with the peco switches because I don’t want to worry about shorts.

👍👍👍😎

A realistic scene out in the desert would some van dwellers and Rvs boondocking...lol

And your signals

i was just getting ready to invite you to a new facebook group i just started as a tribute to atlas n scale code 80 layouts called Atlas N Scale Layouts, but now i see you switched to Peco..what was reasoning on this?
