The difference between an artist and someone who plays with toy trains has been defined. This is the most impressive creation I’ve seen in 58-years; scale speeds, consist greater than 15-cars pulled by 3-engines, sound that doesn’t sound like a video game and a cohesive geographical appearance - well done young man, I suspect there is some good parenting behind all of this..?

Still Really Nice-looking layout got going on. DPU's are on their way-out PA here don't even use DPU's on mainline anymore unless if it's a massive load running up-grade or on HSC, mainline 140 cars at most, thinking NS learned their lesson with the Ohio State derailment and Bethlehem PA head-on collision aka Steel City.
