The long wait is over. I was contracted to build this railroad before the covid shutdown, but the client and I have both suffered delays beyond our control. In the first installment, I built the benchwork for the low level staging yard. This time, I'll install roadbed, track and wiring.

    Hi Peter, I’m curious as to where you get your foam road bed. I’m starting a new layout and would possibly be interested in using foam instead of cork.

    We'll just simply keep calling you the GOAT! Amazing some people build their own layouts and will never even have that much track laid in their lifetime. And that's only one staging! Loved seeing your mom being there with you! I'm sure she's proud of what you've accomplished. The warehouse and the business is doing so well. Her son's an artist. Last but not least glad to see the puppy out there and around. Somebody needs to watch over you!!

    A monumental effort and a remarkable job. I love it when people do things the way they should be done. Bravo! Cheers ~ Boomer. 😁

    Your organization of this build is as impressive as your design and building skills. An amatuer like me can learn quite a lot from you about building a model railroad.

    First off, ❤ hugs ❤ Hello, ma'am! Second, as I'm watching you build just this tiny portion of the layout, I am struck by the realization that this layout could be one of those "if I had a million" layout designs. The man-hours (and dog-hours) going into this are going to add up fairly swiftly, and that's before the materials and shipping costs. Impressive! Very impressive! ❤

    My goodness..just look how straight those tracks are in the staging yard...it bothers me so much when people dont take the time to lay perfect straight track and this is just flat out amazing...wow..phenomenal work peter.

    Dear Peter, awesome project, will be interesting to see this layout develop. Already one staging yard with dimensions beyond comprehension, as you said followed by an even larger one on the next level, wow! Cool to see your method of single side wiring, absolutely makes sense especially on such a large footprint. Great so see your mum, although the winter is almost at its end, hope you two had a good time together! Cheerio

    Great to see the progress, Peter. The lack of soda cans has already been addressed I see. Good to see your mom.
  • @jacko9759
    Where is the soda cans. 😊 Very long tracks bet those are going tho be long trains. Love seeing your mom....

    At 3:00 I realized that you have magic Dew cans with that one can holding down that incredibly long run of foam. After all of that wiring and the calisthenics that went with it to lay that staging yard I would have been reconsidering the huge shop build, lol. The lower staging yard has more track than a lot of peoples entire layouts. With the shipping and exposure that this layout will endure are you nailing any of the rail down or still just relying on the glue? If just glue, please share the type that is holding the track to the foam. This is going to be incredible. Please tell Mom I said hello and that she is a YouTube sensation.

    interesting and useful - thanks, nicely done - as usual 😃
  • @SPSteve
    Wow, that's impressive! Hmm, 30' x 9 = 270' so that would hold about 400 50' box cars.
  • @peglegvideos
    Wow I had assumed you were on location for this. I learned from the comments that you tear this all down when your done and ship it.
