Love the work Jdaddy, one thing I regret with my current layout is no grades. Something I won't miss on the next layout.

I don't known what just happened, but I did something wrong. No big deal, Denny. You somehow hit the quote button. I'm not 100% sure but I think you can duplicate a post if you click the post button but think it didn't work and click it again. I will experiment and see if that happens. It's interesting that you watched a video and built the layout. Model Railroader made a video narrated by actor Michael Gross that showed how to build a 4x8 HO layout. I didn't build the layout but I learned a lot by watching the video.

I had no idea what to do and since the TV was right there it was easy to watch then pause it and do what I had just saw. That way if I wasn't sure about something I could play it back to make sure. I actually stunned myself. I'm a city boy that grew up in a high rise. My idea of working with wood was picking up a stick and throwing it.

There are so many people who will never try something because they think it's too difficult or they just don't have the talent. You gave it a try and found you had abilities you didn't know you had. You just needed someone to show you how. You did an excellent job on your layout. It looks great.

I've always worked with my hands so all I need is to be shown how to do it.

Look at all the time you save too! I always say do what you like to do in the hobby and save the frustration. This Hobby is for fun! Now is there anyone that can come over and hook up my Z1000 switch machines? You should hire Max.......this is Max helping with traditional Lionel switches and an SC-2.....but then he followed this up with helping me do 24 DZ1000s conversions of Atlas O switches into 3 AIUs.
