Several of these guys appear to have worked on the original locomotives 🚂

This is just wonderful. I would love to see this in person some day if you allow the occasional visitor.

Thanks Glenn. And yes to a visit. Send me an email off line to [e-mail]

I have enough trouble with modern day knuckle couplers, these prototypical for the era ones would drive me insane. I've done lots of ops sessions, but never thought about having an old hardware store type apron like that. I'm always misplacing cards or paperwork, pens/pencils, skewers.

[@thomradice8680]

Thanks for watching Link & pin couplers and way bills were the early day tools of the trade. Clearly not for most operators; those that do however, have an affinity for the era.

So I have a friend who's looking to get a one off brass model made of the 4-10-0 El Gobernador of the CPRR. Any chance you guys might be able to help us out? We have a lot of the drawings for it to be built from.

[@thomradice8680]

I personally did not know anyone for a project as yours. Perhaps another viewer can help out.

very nice and artful ,,however ,,it would be nice to see a video of this layout without all the people in the way ,,,it destroys the feel for the scale detail

[@thomradice8680]

Thanks poor boy. If you go to my channel, the next most recent video does just as you ask.
