[@timspiers6225]

Nice video but the first thing I noticed, as a Brit, is the Cricket bat.

[@RetroMikado]

You're right! Good eyes! If you can see it, there's actually a card of the player who owned the bat hanging on the handle, his name was etched into the wood and we tracked down whose it was. There's also a vintage Cricket ball out of shot sitting by the bat. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed it!!

[@timspiers6225]

@@RetroMikado I did notice that. Who is it?

[@RetroMikado]

@@timspiers6225 Gentleman by the name of R.J. Giles

[@ddotcdot6892]

That Dreyfuss is slightly out of quarter, FYI.

[@RetroMikado]

Haha the help is appreciated, this was shot over a year and a half ago and the problem was remedied quite quickly :)

[@Non_Of_U_business]

Great vid but no Diesels...only steam :(

[@railchief74]

Not bad, the intro is slightly different from ILTTs but not exactly the same. The Norfolk and western j that Brendon has is almost the exact same one that we have at our club down in shelbyville

[@RetroMikado]

Yep that was the idea! I wanted to make it more original while still keeping the same vibe. And yes, Brendon has a beautiful Long Stripe 746. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@masonallenbuskirk5648]

@3:29 Were those B&O P7 Pacifics actually in those colors in real life?

[@RetroMikado]

I personally have never seen a color photo of one, but I have seen several b&w photos of President Harrison and it does seem to be wearing a scheme like the Lionel one. They often go by historical writings when doing these schemes. I believe only one or two of the P7s wore those colors. So yes, it is accurate! Thanks for watching!

[@ducatifriedrich2910]

Nice vid, but for my taste, too much time was spent close up and we didn't really get to see the "layout" ... the track plan, the scenery, etc.

[@RetroMikado]

Thanks for the feedback! I would definitely go check out the layout owners' videos for a more in depth overview of their track plans and layouts. I have links to their channels in the description. Gives them some views and you can learn about them from those who know best!
