Just a GREAT layout! Good camera work Fred...

At last, a very nice video of a great looking layout and NO TALKING. Love it.

[@fredeisen7401]

Thanks! From both me and Dave.

Very nice looking layout. Terrific looking equipment. The WM paint scheme is not the easiest to do. Great job.

[@johnkawczynski2488]

Simply amazing. Having been to the High Bridge area both from the road and a cab ride, that scene so incredibly captures the prototype.

[@fredeisen7401]

Dave's attention to detail is amazing

Beautiful representation of the WM! I lived just a couple blocks from Walbrook Jct. as a young boy in the early/mid 1950s. Whenever I'd walk with my mom to the Acme Market we had to cross the Poplar Grove St. bridge over the WM. I always wanted her to wait a few minutes on the bridge to see if a train was coming. Guess that was the start of the WM being my favorite RR. Riding train excursions on the WM in the 1960s and '70s was always a treat!

Right on, Shortliner! Thanks for watching. My current project is getting the automatic block signals working between Westminster and Edgemont. D. Hughes

Those Western Maryland SD40s were a classic. The layout is very well structured, nice. Western Maryland Railway up close and personal. Beautiful.

[@jackcurran1122]

I am a Marylander who grew up with the WM, some of your scenes like Glyndon and the high bridge north of Thurmont are very accurate

[@Dokkensound]

Inspiring layout! Thanks for posting.

[@fredeisen7401]

Rob, Glad you enjoyed.

Hi Fred - Excellent video of a beautiful model railroad. Dave Hughes has done a spectacular job of memorializing the memory of the Western Maryland in HO scale. Thanks to you and Dave for the opportunity to watch and enjoy this great layout! Mike

[@BAS19.6]

Nice video! I am friends with mr. Hughes and I sometimes go over there to run trains while he has open houses.

[@michaelricks1618]

Beautiful layout. great filming. Thanks so much to you both for sharing.

[@fredeisen7401]

Thanks for your wonderful comment!

[@yrunaked4]

This layout is a work of art

[@jeffbaker2897]

From a WM fan, beautifully done layout and thank you both for sharing it.👍

[@fredeisen7401]

Thanks! Your welcome!

[@briteidea08]

This is beautiful! Nicely done!!

[@fredeisen7401]

This is Dave's first attempt at a model railroad. Pretty remarkable for a first time!

[@CSXGP38]

Awesome video and extend to Dave an excellent job on his layout. So many scenes just nailed almost to a T. Makes my attempt at the Emory Grove bridge look juvenile

[@josephmurrill3644]

I like that athearn genesis F7A locomotive in the circus colors.

[@garbagemanify]

I LIKE THE LOOKS OF ANYTHING in the red/black/white

[@terrellhoward5231]

Dave's Layout is awesome, I really would like to personally see this beautiful masterpiece. Hey Fred I just can't believe that he did this type of work on his first layout, it took a few Layouts for me to get it almost right.

[@fredeisen7401]

So true. We will go see his layout soon.

[@ZFRANK59]

Awesome work Fred! Your hand painted backgrounds are blended into the scenery very well. /Frank

[@tommythomason6187]

Wow, gettin' more awesome with each clip. Love the detail on that first big bridge - the rust spots trickling down the cement beams. Now that's detail! Nice, warm colors, too, which keeps things positive. Some go overboard with their urban scenes- make them too grimy. And, Old Reliables - straight SD40's (not SD40-2's) on the point.

[@fredeisen7401]

This is Dave's first layout and, he as you can see has done an excellent job!

[@musicman8942]

@@fredeisen7401 This is his first layout? Impressive indeed. No HD video only 480P? This layout really needs HD video.

[@fredeisen7401]

I agree but I only had my cell phone with me. I was disappointed in the quality. My previous videos where I used the cell phone looked better. I think the video editor I used was the problem.

[@Kmaster2007]

does he let people come to his layout, or was it something else...Nice video!

[@fredeisen7401]

Yes, he lets people see his layout.

[@Kmaster2007]

Fred Eisen how can you get a tour? I would love to see this masterpiece

[@fredeisen7401]

Dont know where you live but, I can take you over to his place it is only about a 1/2 hr drive from my place.

[@Kmaster2007]

@@fredeisen7401 im in hanover, and thanks...I might be able to do that

[@fredeisen7401]

@@Kmaster2007 Cool! I could also take you to see Howard Zane's layout if you want.

no missing ties, buildings go all the way to ground,cars dont have wheels in the air. I can't find anything I don't like

[@fredeisen7401]

Thanks Reggie! This is Dave's first attempt at a model railroad and his attention to detail is great.
