Correction on my note about the real bridge! The real Steubenville Railroad bridge connects Ohio and West Virginia. Guess I needed more coffee… Even RBP makes mistakes!

[@katherinemorey6517]

That's okay, everyone else can make mistakes too. And I am sorry about some viewers being rude to you when they mention the line, CAN YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT?

[@katherinemorey6517]

I forgot to tell you that I would like to see the trains running from almost inside the truss bridge for a different angle.

[@BCoFD510]

One benefit of a mistake: your learning

[@jtbassgambler2594]

Bridge is bridge I've seen similar bridge from ohio and Pennsylvania they both got the same bridge

[@janemarkham4133]

Great bridge CRIS. lOVE N.&W. TRAINS. We've road on a few when we were kids for real out of Ronake Va. !! We shall never forget it. wonderful memories!! Your friends, Howard & Jane M. 😊😊❤👍👍🚂

[@exarkun42]

Haha, I understand your collector pain. Recently, I went the the New York Central Museum in Elkhart, Indiana with my Dad. After that, my dad decided to take me to a local hobby shop in the area. Walked out with an SP Cab Forward. Beautiful engines. Love that Berkshire. Didn't know that an unshrouded J class was a thing.

[@DoctorBerb]

I watched this the other week and wondered if I had ever seen that bridge as the in-laws are right in that area. Sure enough I drove right by it yesterday on the way in from a few hours away for the holiday! Pretty cool, looks great

[@appleorangeline]

Bridgezilla!!! Looks great in action along with your new trains and rolling stock.

[@stevenmiller5696]

Thanks for making the hobby so fun and enjoyable! Bridge is incredible!

[@MemoriesRR]

The meet and greet at York was awesome. Thanks to the four of you that arranged it and the clubs that provide the door prizes. Correct me if I’m wrong but it was the TCA and the LCCA. The young 7 year old who won the first drawing was sitting directly in front of my wife and me. Your announcement of the meet and greet was what got my wife and I talking about making the trip to York. Thank you.

[@RBPTrains]

Thanks for coming to the event! The LCCA donated two train cars and METCA provided the third. Was a great time!

[@rperras706]

Incredible trestle, looks totally amazing

[@josephmassell9922]

Very nice bridge chris. Looks great with the big boy running on it.

[@VirtualRailroad]

That bridge is a marvelous piece of model engineering and that bridge really gives your layout a touch

[@theflintlockhunter5423]

Great bridges, really add to the layout! Shout out to Seaside Hobbies, great shop and my go to place for repairs!

[@robertbradley8309]

Great video, Chris! I am a huge O scaler, 2 and 3 rail. Lot's of giant steam engines. I love the big bridges!! Reminds me of my childhood in New York City in the 50s and 60s!!

[@kylestevens6925]

And they say that drugs are a problem, make sure to always check up on your model railroading friends.🤣 Nonetheless Chris video, the bridge is a real eye catcher and even some eye candy, you definitely didn’t leave unhappy. Thanks for sharing!

[@spur0bahner264]

Hello Chris, the bridge is super great. I'm really impressed. We have the beautiful Rhine bridges here Greetings from Cologne Germany Michael

[@johnstup4479]

It's amazing how all those trains followed you home Chris. LOL The bridge looks amazing. I saw that in the booth. I always check out there bridges every year and keep thinking where I could put one. Just might have to replace my MTH bridges with one of theirs. Someday....

[@stephendrivick840]

I like the rebuild....really opened up all the sight lines to the tracks.

[@sarge4455]

That’s a big bridge!!! You have a nice big room for your layout man that looks fun

[@katherinemorey6517]

Hello Chris, I am here to tell you that I am thinking about making my wooden railroad have some 1 ft curses to replace my 6 inch curves for the double track mainline partly inspired by you. Now I can double the speed and length of my trains to make my layout better and more exciting than ever! Thank you so much for the inspiration and the amazing channel. Cory Mears

[@JohnJohnson-wt8zc]

Wow very awesome bridges ! It really takes your layout to the next level. Beautiful engines that you purchased at york also.

[@kerrykonecny7677]

Awesome bridge!!!...and great new trains!!!

[@captainandys3railo-scalela203]

Wow! That came out great! Works really well for your layout. Guess I’ll have to find some room for one!

[@tomrogers5516]

What an awesome bridge! This is great for a main feature for the reimagined layout, Chris! It completes the new loop with style. Very appropriate for the Big Boy(s) to inaugurate the Big Bridge. Glad you had a great time at York and picked up such great models to expand your collection. Also good that you could meet and greet so many friends and fans! When you chose to run lots of steam, I'm all in. No complaints here. Keep up the good work on the layout and featuring your progress on KZbin. Look forward to it.

[@angeloavanti2538]

Whoa. Fabulous. All the new goodies are dope! You made me take my 2k era TMCC 759 Berk off the shelf and run it. So much fun. So little time.

[@princenoah1950]

This brought my whole inner child back to life,I am smiling ear to ear,the bridge looks awesome!

[@Tomeleck]

Wow. Your layout has really grown since your early days. Looking terrific. Many thanks for posting.

[@leterguyschroeder4919]

What a great addition to the layout, the bridges are fantastic, keep it going.

[@davidkoehler136]

The Bridges look even better on the layout , than they did at the York display! ....For those here that dont build scale models, pound for pound these model bridges are stronger than the prototypes .

[@JMaxRC]

Outstanding Chris. Amazing to see a great layout get even better.

[@andrewedmunds4583]

Here I was thinking, you know, since the big boy won the poll, it would kinda be cool to see both of the big boys that you have cross the bridge at the same time. Here I am now, pleasantly surprised.

[@katherinemorey6517]

Hi Chris, I am just letting you know that I have named one of my engines after you because I admire you and your work on the layout.

[@luvindemtrains]

MASSIVE! I'm very familiar with the prototype and walked across it several times. Great haul from York as well. Will be watching out for your layout updates. Yes, train collecting is definitely addictive. Thanks for sharing.

[@keith142]

Thanks for the bridge video. I passed the Steubenville Ohio railroad bridge on West Virginia Route 2 every Saturday for over 30 years. I still pass the bridge when I visit my hometown. Thanks for the memories.

[@santinotrains]

This is so cool and the 765 is one of my favorites and it looks amazing 🤩

[@neosystem852]

Such a great addition to the layout. Super exciting!

[@brandonpittman4778]

The layout tools really cool with the new bridges

[@jimmelchin1531]

We all knew the bridge was coming. We all knew it was 8' long. We saw a glimpse of it at the show....but Hole E. Cow...the way it looks on your awesome layout.....speechless ! Congratulations on your new bridges and your show pieces. Terrific ! Thanks for the video.

[@automotive_gamingtech1895]

That Nickel Plate Road whistle gives me chills!!

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

Chris, those bridges are absolutely magnificent, both the shorty and the eight-foot "monument." I can't help but call it a monument, that big bridge and the big steamers complement each other perfectly, an incredible "Big Iron" tribute to a time when the US was at the height of it's power. Just stunning! And those are some great finds you made at York! Well done!

[@Fridge56Vet]

The bridge looks great! I may keep them in mind for my (hopefully) future layout bridge needs.

[@ogaugesantafeandbnsf1157]

Wow simply amazing. Been a while since I last posted, things have been crazy with work. I will have to check on some of your previous ones. I am sure they are top notch. Excellent as always

[@ChrissTrainsandMore]

Wow the bridge looks amazing and you found a 765 I’ve been looking for one congratulations on both and thanks for a great video

[@TZrailfaning]

WOW! That’s an awesome layout! The bridge is also a great thing to play limbo with!😂 but jokes aside I think that bridge is an amazing detail, and you can run more trains!

[@RBPTrains]

Haha, yes it is!

[@SNER333]

I'm not sure how many Seaside Hobbies there are - but if you're referring to the one from Delaware - then I also highly recommend checking them out! When I go to the beach, I MIGHT look forward to visiting that store more than the actual beach! XD Still feel bad about passing on the O gauge 612 last year. I'd say hopefully she's still there, but probably not.

[@kenbtheman]

That bridge is awesome. They did a great job on it. Fits the layout real good to. Good luck with it and the layout. I'm always watching. 👍

[@seanstraindepot]

That bridge is fantastic. They really are craftsman. Looks awesome.

[@davvonmckenzie3911]

Layout's looking good even with the new bridge!

[@carlmiles8655]

Chris anytime you share another you tube video with the rest of us fellow hobbyists its ALWAYS A GREAT WEEK GLAD YOU HAD FUN AT YORK PA I gotta go up there my cousin lives in AUBURN PA ;-) And yes I have been to Nicholas Smith trains in Broommall PA upstairs

[@rogerstrate5727]

Definitely not a sickness but just plain fun, after all a man can never have enough locomotives and trains. BTW, I love your new bridge it is beautiful.

[@alleghenyshenangorr2017]

Nice bridge, it looks awesome, you can watch trains from the top, both sides, and my favorite...from underneath 😲 nice NS OCS set, if you don't do anything else to the layout, it is a big improvement, Congrats!!!

[@andypants97]

Killer additions this year sir. The bridge is amazing!

[@ronaldjoyce7374]

Congratulations Chris, OMG those are stunning, almost looks like a twin that’s over the Mississippi that I’ve been over and under. Great scores for your collection, can’t wait to see the reviews. Ron

[@bobconrad5632]

That bridge is phenomenal. Great addition to your layout. I love the changes.

[@davevan8864]

A few notes: The layout mods make the layout better. Sometimes mods just crowd things. Yours made it better 765 great catch. Rode behind the real loco over the Horseshoe Curve!!!! I'd love one. I do laser cutting myself. That bridge has $1000 of JUST CUTTING ALONE in it. I know it was not cheap.......but Laser+materials+labor......worth it I bet! Thx

[@mfog5543]

Amazing.....thanks for sharing.

[@rick1716]

Great video and new bridges. Are you going to add another bridge section, where you currently have the wooden stand between the bridges? All the other engines and cars look great also! It looks like you don’t need Christmas this year! 👍👍

[@katherinemorey6517]

That new bridge would be awesome! Cory Mears

[@nsrailfan0677]

That bridge looks amazing!!!! I hope that one day I can have something similar on my planned layout!😁

[@MattyCtrains]

Awesome finds Chris! Glad the bridge made it home safe and around, looks fantastic!

[@jbatman5092]

Your new bridge is a magnificent addition to your layout, Chris! Love all the steam engines you run. Thank you for sharing your layout with all of us 🙂👍

[@byronpeterson795]

Man, now I have bridge envy. Congrats the layout is looking great.

[@neelix139]

[@benc.5863]

Those F3’s are beautiful, I just picked up the New Haven F3 set and I love it. Congrats on the new additions, the bridges look amazing

[@jimdavis3913]

Bridge looks fantastic Great job Chris.

[@kennymcgowan2880]

Hey RBP Trains, the addition of the bridges makes your layout just that more awesome to look at and watch!!!!!!!

[@scottfrezza3573]

Can’t wait to see the OCS , I was fortunate enough to also find the DAB set as well this year!!!

[@RBPTrains]

Very cool Scott!

[@michaelrushman4659]

Great video Chris, the bridge and layout look awesome, great job

[@ozarkmidlandsouthernrailway]

Hi Chris, man that new bridge is something else. Big and beautiful for sure! Your railroad renovation is really coming together. Truly enjoyed spending time with you and the other fellas at York. The "mixer event" Saturday morning was really special. You guys all did great! Bill B.

[@RBPTrains]

Great hanging out with you at York too Bill! The people there are always my favorite part!

[@seanstrains6090]

Wow! Can’t wait to see this all done and finished your layout is looking amazing. That bridge is beautiful.

[@gohan21ir]

I used to live in York and sadly I have never been to the public side of the show. Maybe when my son gets a little older, we will take him to it. He was 3 months at Christmas and already has his first train set, the Thomas the Tank O scale from Lionel.

[@Avrenac]

Well done Chris, it looks amazing. Also, thanks for dropping the names of some good retailers. I will be check out their online stores!

[@Dfendr96]

What a great video Chris! It looks like you really cleaned up at the show. The bridge is amazing! They did a truly awesome job with it, and I'm sure that the video doesn't do it much justice as to its real life presence. Keep the videos coming!

[@CSXtrackworker]

That's an amazing bridge. This new configuration makes your layout look so much better!

[@dagryffynhobby]

The bridge. Wow. Such a beautiful piece. The trains ain’t bad either! Nice additions. Great seeing you at York.

[@RBPTrains]

Great seeing you too Dave!

[@adiddle7267]

Have to admit you made the changes to the layout so far are awesome but the bridges well its like the cherry on top, it completes everything. You have to be very excited Nice job and good luck and cannot wait for more

[@jeffstrains]

Wow, I’ve seen trains run across the Steubenville bridge in real life many times.

[@d.cthehobbyist2252]

Awesome bridge. I'm glad you snuck the Katy behind the big boy for the bridge shot. When I think of your channel that's the railroad I associate with.

[@RBPTrains]

Had to sneak The Katy on there :)

[@eal8645]

Love this episode! A total enjoyment. 👍👍👍👍

[@joshbautista7725]

It’s an amazingly awesome bridge love the details on the design of the bridge and your layout is the most wonderful on video or in person I’ve ever seen and it’s just getting better!

[@jamesbartelheim6124]

Chris, what a nice video! And so glad that you run both high tech equipment and traditional . Love your blend of talk, humor, and train running. I model both American and international trains. Keep up your very entertaining videos! James

[@RBPTrains]

Thanks for watching James!

[@LITOWB]

Never a dull video with RBP Trains! You never fail to make me laugh bro

[@katherinemorey6517]

I agree with you on that. Cory Mears

[@NgaiOlaudah]

otherwise, this was a great show with GREAT bridges! great work, young man! thanks...

[@betsy662]

Those are certainly beautiful bridges, and the layout is looking great as well!

[@stevenemeigh4820]

Chris ! It was so wonderful to meet you. The Q&A + Meet and Greet was a great success. I ended up with that beautiful MTH Premier Katy also from Bob!.

[@RBPTrains]

It was great to meet you as well Steven! I saw that Katy engine on display. Very cool.

[@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877]

Very cool bridge Chris , massive...

[@GlennFresch]

We saw it in person at York. Pretty sweet!

[@davebennett8434]

Amazing! Have a good holiday!

[@jackoszuscik6669]

Excruciatingly Awesome yo! Sweet layout!

[@doctordeath.5716]

I remember that boxing for Lionel for those train cars and the '80s totally Rock

[@therosejewelrailroad489]

Very nice. Now all you need is blue color carpet to look like water below the big train bridge. Just kidding! Your wife is saying no! We’ve spent enough money in the train room already. But seriously everything looks nice. Thanks so much for keeping us in the loop.

[@TrainBandit]

Like the big boy going over the bridge

[@railchief74]

The bridge looks great man! It reminds me of the railroad bridges designed by Clark Dunnum studios. The York show was also really epic last Friday. Glad you got a chance to meet Craig a the seaside hobbies both. hope to catch up with the rest of you guys at the next one. 🚂

[@markslioneltrains]

Fantastic Chris.! BIG Bridge BIG 👍The best very expensive sickness I can enjoy for life.!😊

[@lvrailclub]

It was so nice meeting you at the TCA show. Love the new bridge. Can’t wait to see you at April TCA 2023 show. I will be setting up my layout for April show. Come by and see the layout.

[@RBPTrains]

Great meeting you too!

[@FFDmh2223]

Nice pick up. Thanks for the info on the bridge builders. I got to climb into the real NS OCS train before they sold it. Full tour as well.

[@TheMarkaorso]

That’s a beautiful bridge I am jealous now I better get one myself boy a few years ago I wanted one of those wonderful brides but it wouldn’t fit in my car enjoy many years of excitement

[@VirtualRailroad]

Thanks for putting my es44ac on the tracks I love him

[@enforcer0175]

Ah... I should've gone, I live in York, but A: I had to work, and B, I dont have room for an O gauge layout. I probably would have bought something I couldn't use. Oh well I'll try harder in the spring. The bridge really seems to expand the layout. Looks great!

[@katherinemorey6517]

Hi Chris, I have just made braces for my new trestle that I made last night. The trestle looks like a suspension bridge and the arch is stronger than ever. One of my inspirations is the huge bridge on your layout. Cory Mears

[@doctordeath.5716]

Chris I like your train layout set up alot

[@charlesmcclure5994]

Well it looks like you came back with a nice hall the bridge looks fantastic but don't forget to put a sign on it caution low bridge 👍👍

[@victordandrea8697]
