Jones Island Project Railroad

What are your thoughts for the project layout? 
I'm thinking it has been a dud. Not sure if it was a victim of covid or too large or a project to tackle. 
Wonder what is next down the pipe for Model Railroader...

At least for me, the article about the yard office gave me the idea to finally get one build for my own layout. Still in process, but still it is progessing. (MIne is inspired by a completely different prototype but the article gave me a start.)

Did it really needed to be renovated? We never get to see in videos (except 1 or 2 ) and project reviews.

Are they going to rid of Wisconsin train station that represent what it look like in the 1990s before it was replaced/ destroyed.

I believe that Jones Island is a different part of the layout.  I don’t think it has ever been shown during product reviews.

I always enjoy watching Cody and David work, and I am enjoying the series. Yes, the episodes have been infrequent recently, but I blame that on Covid. They are all forced to work at home and the layout is in the office. It is no wonder that they haven't been able to produce new episodes.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

This has been a painfully slow, but very enjoyable series.

I have liked the improvements/changes that they have made.

I really hope that July 4th can mark a change back to normal... I am completely over this new lifestyle.
