    When you said "The layout will never be done," is what Walt Disney said about Disneyland, "Disneyland will never be finished." Great layout, thanks for posting......

    Been watching Eric since my earliest memories on the internet. I'm going to college in a couple month's and seeing him still making videos makes me so happy. Keep on chugging Eric!
  • @jlwii2000
    It's good to have a mate that supports you and works with you and not against you. Like the Seinfeld reference too! Happy Model Railroading Eric!
  • The amount of work and effort put into the layout shows how much you love the hobby. Keep up the great work Eric.
  • @herk8762
    I appreciate that your layout doesn’t absolutely represent any historical/modern railway. It embodies the oldest and truest form of Lionel’s idea of model railroading in my opinion, the idea of making it your own. Very nice tour and layout Eric. Also, great to have someone to enjoy the hobby with.
  • @Puddin_Pi
    Awesome! You found a train girl! Nice to see you happy. As a train girl, I approve
  • @RolandForest
    I can associate with what you said. I went through a divorce many years ago …it did leave me lacking interest in many things for several years. I didn’t care about the things I used to care about. It’s wonderful that you found someone to share interest and inspire you again to ensure your hobby. Great video today.
  • @HouseofWrench
    Congratulations Eric. going through that rough patch shows your persistence to push through. Thank you for the inspiration for collecting and sharing the joy of this hobby.
  • @bugsplus3878
    I'm not even half way through and this is by far top 3 coolest layouts I have ever seen. I'm in the process of building a n scale layout and I hope it can be as cool as this one. I hope your layout and girlfriend continue to bring you joy.
  • crazy to believe i was here about 9 years ago as a 13 y/o when the turntable was being installed. Happy to hear you’re doing better Eric and happy for you
  • @seanhobbs3624
    Eric, thank you for taking the time to make this all inclusive video. What a great showcase for your creativity and your dedication to the hobby. I’ve been working my 6 x 11 layout for two years and I feel better about the progress I’ve made. It always evolving and never finished. LOL. Great way to end it!
  • I just see this video fot the second time, and i don't no how people calling you a show off guy, you're doing all the work from scratch to finish, you're a single railroader, I think they dumb people should salute you for being on your own, I salute you Eric 👍
  • @catlover2534
    My dad use to watch your videos all the time and loved them.
  • Your lay out is awesome, and your photo voice overs are top notch. Love this video! Gets my stamp of approval.🌟
  • @The_Duggler25
    You know it's crazy to see how this layout has come along over the years I cant even remember when I started watching. Part of me wants to say 2013
  • Thank you Eric for sharing a piece of your life and a fantastic layout. For folks who have trains in boxes or riding the high rails of display cases, it’s always a joy to watch trains on a layout. I go back to your very early YT days and you have brightened a many day along those years. You have shared your knowledge freely and for that alone I say thank you even if a lot of us did not utilize it for whatever reason …, usually space limitations. God Bless you and your family. Although at my age I need it like a hole in my head, I did order from Legacy Station a Big Boy. I have made sure all of my Challengers and Big Boys have different road numbers. Toying with the idea of buying the largest Millhouse Roundtable and making an engine house diorama since I do not have the room for a suitable layout. Besides … I can always enjoy your excellent railroad. Thanks Eric!
  • You know when you ask someone, "how's it going?" And they respond sarcastically, "living the dream!" Well, Eric is certainly living the dream!!! Surely the dream I wish I could be living!!!! Great video Eric!!!!! Beautiful layout!!!!!!! 😊👍👍👍👍
