[@johnlazar7582]

It all looks so good Anthony! The abandoned mill looks a lot like some of the old textile mills in the town where I currently live. Most have been demolished by now. I love what you are doing!

[@georgiasunbelt]

thanks John…appreciate it…the ones in my home town were turned into markets and upscale condos…some left to weather the storms…

[@FredE528]

[@SchuylkillRiverValley]

Fantastic job on the abandoned mill Anthony - really fits the part! The layout's looking great. I love how the little details make such a huge difference. Cool wood ship hoppers. Nice that Ray & Joe got to visit, but I am a little jealous. One of these days I'd love to see your layout in person.

[@georgiasunbelt]

thanks a lot John…appreciate you viewing and commenting…enjoyed having them stop in…hopefully you can get here someday…if I ever get back to Philly, gotta come by and see you

[@mattausterberry2323]

You definitely have a knack for scenery and building placement too. That's one skill I haven't mastered yet.

[@georgiasunbelt]

thanks Matt…majority of ideas come from looking at photos of different scenes on the web that I “try” to model…I never try to duplicate…just model the “flavor” of the scene…

[@blackhillsandeasternrailroad]

Outstanding update! Almost too much to mention in one YT comment section! I really like the direction you're taking the layout. Lots of details but not overpopulated. The abandoned mill is a really nice touch. With regards to your visitors... Pardon my old pop culture reference... Hank Williams Jr was playing in my head after you said about people coming over to look at the layout... "All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight!"

[@georgiasunbelt]

thank you…hope your rowdy friend enjoyed your layout 😊…yeah, tried not to overdo with track…and balance believable of details is all new to me…first layout…

[@davebnsfnscale4433]

[@RonMontagueSWRR]

😱 Wow Anthony, the abandoned mills scene looks great and all the town structures fit in nice 👍🏾. I think you are referring to F and N hobbies. I've been trying to contact them about an order of hopper loads and they never answer or respond to messages. Don't know what the deal is. Thanks for sharing this update.👍🏾

[@georgiasunbelt]

thanks a lot Ron…appreciate ya…yep, F&N hobbies that makes loads…purchased from him before however, sounds like their are some issues arising…
