In Part 2 from 2012, it starts with a musical montage as Tom McComas talks about what headlines are featured in this program.

The first layout in part 2 of the nearly 10 year old series, is the third visit to Chuck Brasher in Grass Valley California. Chuck Appeared in Great Toy Train Layouts of America Part 2 from 1989, and also on Lionel Nation Part 1 from 2008. He still has the same Standard Gauge locomotives, sets, accessories, and tracks, even though he still extended his room over the years. A response from MTH President Mike Wolf is included. As always, Brasher cares about the original original models from the Prewar years. One of the new additions to Chuck's layout is the Ives Circus set. The set with its original backdrop not only appeared in I Love Toy Trains part 8 from 2000, But the Value of the Backdrop itself was sold for only $20,000.
