Very cool, well done layout!!

[@djarnold74]

Love watching your videos. Your layout would be my dream layout. Very nice

[@MSRTA_Productions]

As a Philly Sub railfan I just wanna say this... I love your layout! Ever since I saw a tour run almost two years ago I fell in love with it. Keep up the great work! And kudos to the people who help with the layout!

[@brfriedm]

Thank You for your kind words.

[@danstrunk8828]

Fantastic video tour of your layout. Over the years I've attended many of your open houses, never realized you modeled West Yard or that there was a track to Coatesville!! Always enjoy watching.

[@brfriedm]

Thanks Dan. Be well!

[@jmcin100]

Great video , obviously makes me envious since I have not had my own layout in a few years. Your layout is an inspiration to get me stated building. Thanks again.

[@brfriedm]

Thanks James and good luck!

[@step2191]

[@brfriedm]

Thank you for a wonderful 3-episode tour of your layout. I envy the space that you have and really like how you have made great use of it. Congratulations on your entry into Model Railroader. From what you have shown it's an accolade well deserved.

This layout is incredible - love the East Penn Railroad! Local railroad guy - your attention to detail is amazing! Sorry if this has been asked before but Do you ever give public tours, live in Fort Washington area !

[@brfriedm]

I am usually open in November 1-2 dates for Model RR openhouse month but am not doing this in Covid. Hopefully next year but who knows. Thanks.

[@jeffreyknoop5363]

Wow Don did a wonderful job! Don was my boss at Coatesville. He's a great dude. Great boss and great railroader

[@brfriedm]

He is a good dude! Thanks

[@chrisshoulders4066]

Awesome layout brother keep up the good work

[@brfriedm]

Thanks Chris!

[@wehearttrains8479]

Awesome video! Suggestion: Do a video showcasing your entire locomotive roster. Maybe line them up in a massive power move and go down the line. Would love to see your whole loco fleet.

[@brfriedm]

Thanks for the ideas.

[@jeffbaker2897]

[@brfriedm]

Thanks and good luck!

[@bertcresta6685]

Amazing! How do you keep all that track clean, in particular the ones where it’s hard to get to?..incredible layout. Going to go look at the other two videos…👍

[@toddw6716]

Beautiful

[@brfriedm]

Thanks Todd

[@CentralPALocos]

I feel like I’ve definitely seen you at Wilsmere Yard sometimes. You drive a Subaru?

[@brfriedm]

I am sure we have crossed paths for sure. I am down at that yard often.

[@CentralPALocos]

@@brfriedm sweet next time I’ll say hi! And if you ever need operators at your layout I got a 32 car DSEX cut im working on weathering and decaling...

[@brfriedm]

@@CentralPALocos Thanks. Will keep this in mind LOL

[@unionpacificcascadesubdivi6477]

Very impressive staging yards with a lot of equipment! Do you do all of your own weathering? There are some great looking cars floating around in there!

[@brfriedm]

I do some and others done by other folks. Thanks

[@unionpacificcascadesubdivi6477]

@@brfriedm If you are ever in need of some weathering to be done, keep me in mind! I have done some things for others in the past and will occasionally offer models on ebay. Nevertheless, thanks for these layout tour videos! Really appreciate seeing the whole empire!

[@denveroutlaws06]

How do you figure out what freight cars need to added and taken away?

[@brfriedm]

I railfan the Philly sub all the time so I know what runs and what does not. Thanks
