The only Class missing were the Centipedes[BP-50],and I was lucky enough to catch one on the Middle Division in 1960! Awesome engines,and totally unique! The old PRR,really did set standards,and the NYC,wasn't any slouch either! Thank you 😇 😊!

There was a couple pairs on the layout, unfortunately I did not have enough storage space to video them. I'm sure it was incredible to see them! I wish I could too.

I do have a layout walk-around tour, but I'd have to get permission before uploading as there are a few people in the video. Thank you for the advice

Well done Landon. My favorite era. Big steam and 1st generation diesels. I like the music very much! Curious though. Are the steam engines equipped with sound? Especially the T-1s.

@@philthompson3415 All of them are sound equipped! I edit music in to block out the talking and cursing of the other operators lol.

Very nice. I plan on modeling the Pennsy in the steam era (1940s-50s), though I very much doubt mine will be even close to as large (or detailed) as this.

Fantastic! Love the MG tower shot. (Although the light helpers should be going east not west) Also, I believe on the 4 track mains, freight always used the inner 2 tracks and passenger used the outer 2. But what do I know? Still beautiful.

Sometimes during the operating session we have to go a little outside of reality to make the railroad run well, over 30 trains were run in 4 hours with almost all having pickups or drop-offs in the yards
@Lawrence-cc4wb8 ай бұрын
The helpers have been cut from their shove and will x-over at the interlocking to the number two track, then down the hill on number two. When it comes to the Pennsy,...never say never. :-)

That’s a great looking layout. Honestly, though, I think those two yellow Great Northern reefers were too new; the large silhouette mountain goat logo wasn’t adapted until the mid ‘60s.

@@landonthetrain no worries then. I’ve lost count of how many “period” layouts and dioramas I’ve seen with a Pennsy K4 or GG1 hauling Conrail enclosed autoracks or CSX double stack container well cars, right behind a Lackawanna Phoebe Snow boxcar.
