It has been quite a month here at the channel. I have been doing a ton of work behind the scenes. This includes one of my biggest single video projects I have ever done. I can finally tell you, my patrons and channel members. My HO scale layout that I am currently building will be able to fold into a space that has a footprint of 2 feet by 4 feet. This will be coming in July or early August depending on a few things.

Another thing that should happen in the next month is the completion of phase 2 of my new N Scale layout. I have one module left to detail and this phase of my layout will be complete. I do have more expansions planned, but I have not finalized those details yet.
The next thing is that I have been dipping my toes into Z scale and I can firmly say that MRRThree will be a Z scale layout. This is a scale that I have never worked in before and it should be an interesting build. I am looking to start this sometime in September.
In addition to all of this, I will be doing an Op session with the layout complete, plus a review of the latest release of the ScaleTrains N Scale AC4400. I am also starting to get serious with my HO Scale reviews with another Broadway limited Steam review, the PRR B6SB. HO Scale reviews will be separate from Regular episodes and Coffee and trains. These will include their own intros and not adhere to any schedule since I plan to stick primarily with N Scale.
Lastly I am getting back into the models of the month. My incident with the nosebleed wrecked my normal design time. I will be delivering 2 models this month.

Awesome update Jimmy! Lots of exciting things. I'm really curious on how your building a folding table layout. That opens up so many storage possibilities. Always look forward to seeing your videos & have a great day!
Thanks for info Jimmy looking forward to seeing all the cool stuff on the channel
Thanks for the update. Glad you are past the "nose bleed" episode. When all the train stuff is chuggin along (see what I did there)...I'm still hoping for those videos, etc.,. on 3D printing. Take care and be Blessed.
I am intrigued by the foldable HO layout. I want to build one but I don’t have the space for a permanently displayed setup. I like the idea of a collapsible layout that I can wheel into a corner when the room is needed for other purposes. Looking forward to seeing it.
