Roy is greatly missed. I got to meet his brother on my last trip up to PA. He was really nice and said their mom is doing great. A friend that lives there was able to meet her a couple of days later. It was a real treat for both of us. Thanks for the comment and stay safe out there.

Sorry you don't like the music, but if there was no music, there would be a lot of emptiness. I would like to have the music there to feel the voids. Easiest solution is turn it down, as I have already edited it to an acceptable volume for the video. Thanks for the feedback and sorry that it bothers you. Stay safe out there.

I believe he had running fast to keep from having to clean it and worry about wheel slippage for the show. He was to walk around at the show as this layout ran smoothly all day. At one point he even said it was a racetrack, so he might just like having it as a fast freight. It is all about having fun. Thanks for the comment and stay safe out there.

Great stuff!!!! After a heart attack 5 years ago, I dug out all my old trains. There is now an old school Ho layout in a garden shed, insulated with ac. It's based on models from the DC with a toggle switch panel. Full scenery. Love to take video clips of it. Also built a micro 22"×44" N scale twice around with scenery. Also old school. All rolling stock I have had since 1968 on. Revell 0-6-0 ran immediately after all these years.I bought it in 1969 with some Christmas money. Original postage stamp train is running though Loco needs some attention, mostly storage damage. Bachman GP40 is running and pride and joy Atlas 2-8-2 is running very well. Having fun after years of trying to be a serious modeler. Thanks for you video.

Engine #44, named "Judy K.", was built in 1923 by the Vulcan Iron Works at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Cedar Point purchased the locomotive in 1968 as a 0-4-0T. Upon purchase they converted it to a 2-4-0 with a tender. That was a great question and made me do a bit of research. Thanks for the questions and I am glad you N-joyed. Stay safe out there.

It is a hobby that many have had since childhood here. Some of us have collections that took years to find, collect, and build. Some of us have small collections and spaces. The main thing to take from any video is inspiration and motivation. Many of us remember being at the beginning and wondering how to get to this level. The thing to remember is, it takes time and to collect 1 piece at a time. Collections like these take years to cultivate. Thanks for the comment and stay safe out there.
