Nice video, Bill. Loksound sounds great. On another note, your Kingsbury Branch layout was a big time motivator for me to switch back to N scale.

Nice, Bill!  But now that you've built it, will someone release a production run?

Excellent scenery! Some of the best I've seen...right down to the weeds in the sidewalk and paving cracks! :o The grassy areas are exactly the look I'm after on my layout. Care to share your techniques? I'm assuming a static grass applicator played a part.

Thanks. Yes, just standard application of static grass.

Looks awesome. Will you be producing castings? I will pay $1,000,000 for one.  ;)

Best wishes, Dave
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Bill,
Thanks for sharing the video.  I think the Kingsbury branch may be the most realistic N scale urban layout done to date.  Several photographers who were customers of mine had loft studios in  buildings in that area back in the early 80s- so I spent some time there. Someone once asked me how accurate your layout was, I said the only thing you left out was my white econoline van and a couple guys in green shirts unloading a backdrop.  What year is it set in?

I am going to have to make layout building a full time job in retirement to get anywhere close to what you've done here.  Great work.

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.
