I am a member of trains.com and have been watching Mid-day Modeler from Feb 2023, the beginning of the free-mo layout. I enjoy the off handed comments and joking that your team interjects into the video. Keep this going,
I would love to see you extend the Yard Drill track to the benchwork interface so if you ever decide to build another module you could eventually bring the drill track back into the Mainline, eliminating the switchback operations when working the Yard.

Really enjoying watching the layout evolve. Just a couple of points:
1. I watched the Feb. 2 Midday Modeller recorded video (I’m in Australia so the live timeslot is difficult for me). Then I made my way through all the earlier recordings off the webcam . Because of the way they are presented (“Up Next” at the end of each video) I had to watch them in reverse order. Is there some way I can watch them in the correct order?
2. Eric and Steve are very naughty, not wearing any ear protection when using the drop saw or the circular saw. Not good for them, and sets a bad example for others. (As someone who’s hearing is deteriorating, I’m a little sensitive to this, so please excuse the lecturing.)
