Red River Run 2023

[@vettebecker1]

Got the chance to talk with Mr gross a few years back about railroads, very knowledgeable and doesn’t let the fact that he was an actor factor into the way he talks with people. So many actors do. Awesome setup here

[@Mike-tg7dj]

I kept looking at Mr. Gross and thinking, " I have seen him on T.V. & movies ". Sure enough it was Michael Gross!

That’s what Model Railroading is All About Friendship meeting and Greeting Different People who Love this Hobby.

[@quintonthomas983]

So everyone is just going to ignore the fact that Michael Gross aka Steven Keaton from the 1980's sitcom Family Ties and Burt Gummer from Tremors, is a railroad modeler?! I knew EXACTLY who he was as soon as I saw him!! Incredible!

[@derekalexander4030]

Very nice. I’m in. Subscriber number 761. Great videos. I especially liked the Big Boy videos. Thank you for doing and sharing them.

[@MidtownSun]

This video was exceptionally well done in terms of content, flow, and other areas. Absolutely loved it. Thank you for sharing.

[@robadams5799]

I used to live by Chicago Midway Airport and attended the Great Midwest Train Show in Union, Illinois. Now I live in Georgia and haven't attended a train show since I moved.

[@jimbrent8151]

Quiet town my s**.. you people are a bunch of rowdy railroaders. Well done ;-)

[@mastergunnerysgt1258]

For the best of the best has been put here and I love it all. Old Master Gunnery SGT USMC.

[@carcaridon]

I totally love this ! A great community to share knowledge. What I wouldnt learn going to just 1 of these events

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

To see the realistic scenery and all the Fallen Flags - Road Names, makes me appreciate this hobby so much.

[@bradjustad3527]

Very nice presentation I hope to get to Deschler NB for a future event and to see the Gals and Guy's of Spring Creek for their weekend get together

[@seanpacificrailroad3700]

A lot of great Trains, and amazing modules. Did an awesome job putting has been out together. 👍😃

[@tomschmidt3165]

Excellent presentation!

[@jalbhagwagar3353]

great stuff overall, but that gorge at 13:19 was outstanding. great guys. thank you all.

[@skywatcherca]

I love this modular segment construction! Fabulous.

[@FishplateFilms]

Great video Bart! I have to confess, I don't watch a lot of "train show" videos, as I'm sick of trains running either poorly, or at "slot car" speeds! This video was a breath of fresh air , with trains running at realistic speeds...so a big thank you to all the operators for that! Also your interviews with the modellers was terrific , as was the set up sequence. Thanks for taking the time to show people , how "professional" model railroading can ( and in my view) should be:-). Cheers Gregg.

[@echohunter4199]

Exactly! At our train club (SAMRA) we have a beautiful and well maintained layout and we remind newer member that it’s not a racetrack and thankfully, they don’t have to be policed about this concern. But we’ve all seen some people who just love to hi ball their locos, lol.

[@sernajrlouis]

Awesome video. So many cool scenes. The crane, the station, the gentleman's club 😂. Awesome locomotives and rolling stock. Great video

[@michaelgross487]

Very nicely done, Bart, and a great memory of that weekend.

[@bh1701]

Thanks, Michael! Glad you enjoyed the video. It was great to meet you and the rest of the California group!

[@michaelcudby787]

Wow, Nice to see you sir. The name of the tv show escapes me, for the moment. You & Michael Fox .Great stuff. Thankyou Michael NZ

[@ItzYaboiDupz]

Best layout in the world❤

[@53KJB]

Up until I watched this video, I had no idea in what Free-Mo was or, therefore, how it worked. I grew up in a house that sat 30 feet from a railroad track and had the pleasure to watch the daily trains run back and forth to the area Iron Ore mining operations. I had made up my mind when I was 7 that someday, I was going to be an engineer for the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. But as I got older, the Fire Department grabbed my interest and to this day I am still a die-hard firefighter. I NEVER did lose my interest in model rail roading though and still watch trains whenever I see them. I'm too old now to start growing a layout, but I watch a lot of You-tube for train related content. So keep it up, folks! Who knows what the future will bring! (Keith Berg)

[@garypyke1576]

Great video! Throughly enjoyed watching it. Lots of great modeling and variety of trains.

[@anthonygermano9363]

Beautiful, Just Beautiful. What else can I say, What a Great looking layout. Love The Freemo Standard. Thanks for this video, lots of great info in it.

[@davidmihevc3990]

[@kcsthebetterway]

Well done Bart and thanks again!!

[@daviddane4931]

Fantastic presentation Bart! You hit that out of the park. Thankyou

[@pacwest1000]

Awesome setup gentlemen.

[@jinipworld3804]

Nicely done. Great.......

[@Tmstrains]

Bart, your presentation was absolutely fantastic! You knocked it out of the park, and for that, thank you! 😄 It's hard not to appreciate the joyous expressions of fellow modelers and how they share our love for the world's greatest hobby. Hats off to you for such an enjoyable experience!

[@bh1701]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@H0DCCJakub]

great railway successful meeting 👍🙂

[@elleryparsons2433]

Love The Video.

[@davidandyvonne06]

This is VERY, VERY NICE! Keep up the great work!

[@rickestabrook4987]

Outstanding. A thorough, engaging, well constructed review of a unique, improbable event. Thanks!

[@beertruk2429]

Brilliant, interesting and bloody well done. Cheers Matey.

[@bh1701]

Thank you!

[@HOScale-bd1yd]

[@WhiteRiverRails]

Fantastic video Bart

[@bschremp]

Well done.

[@normanthidemann8310]

Great job!

[@northernutahlivesteam]

Pretty fun ❤

[@robytherobotwhiteversion]

Wow!

[@echohunter4199]

I hope mike is able to keep cancer at bay and be able to enjoy his hobby. This group has a very nice layout!

[@eligebrown8998]

Railroad or older kids moving back home? Kids can get a job. Great video

[@Arch007]

Nicccce ✌

[@antonbruce1241]

I would definitely include Band-Aids. In my history of model railroading, these things simply do not come together and work right unless they have drawn blood. It's the same thing when I build up a P.C....

[@robadams5799]

8:05 - Yellowbonnet!

[@WH33LMAN18]

Holy crap that's Bert effin gummer

[@wmjwell]

Fantastic gathering! I am working on UP’s 2014 historic run to Promitory Point. Would it be possible to have the owner of the 2014 in your club give me a car list? I am having a hard time finding all of the cars. Thank you!!!

[@riogrande5761]

Great hobby. Been a train nut since I was a wee lad. Looks like someone took liberties with a non-standard California Zephyr.

[@travisjodyh.842]

Any freemo modelers in the Phoenix area?

[@andreschnaidt2476]

Ребята...я сам как вы, смотрел с открытым ртом...сам имею Märklin, Piko, но у вас серьёзно. Пишу на русском из Германии. Удачи и здоровья всем.

[@bh1701]

Большое спасибо

[@varshavora9935]

What name is this engine at 6:13

[@bh1701]

That is a General Electric U50 diesel locomotive.

[@Planes_n_trains]

Was this not a public event? I'm local, and never heard about this..

[@bh1701]

I attended the 2022 and 2023 Red River Events. Both were "private" events. I think some of the main reasons are that the modules and people's tools are readily accessible and there would be a concern with theft of valuable items (tools, trains) and potential damage to trains and modules from little (or big) hands touching them. Plus, there are lots of wires on the floors under and around the modules which would be potential trip hazards.

[@craigmoyer8552]

Nobody noticed that was the dad from Family Matter!?!?!?

[@bh1701]

He was actually the Dad on the NBC comedy Family Ties. At the event, we all knew who he was, but he was there to be a model railroader so we pretty much kept our conversations with him focused on that. He is a very nice person and very down to earth.

[@Fearless-RG]

We just gonna ignore that burt gummer was in here?

[@michaelpugliese2715]

The strippers at the gentleman's club are cute. What's their phone numbers?
