[@rogerhuber3133]

Spectacular layout. I like the pale green fascia and valance treatment as it compliments the layout coloring well.

[@chadmartin1528]

Thanks, Chad. My goal is to include experts and talented people on the channel. The hope is that if I achieve that goal, people will be inspired along the way. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Great layout, thanks for showing

[@louanderson1264]

As fantastic as the layout looks in the video, it is stunning i person. I've had the opportunity to operate on the WP 8th Sub- an experience I will never forget.

[@robertdarby7197]

Glad I visited the layout during the SLC WP convention in 2018! Another Grrrrreat layout!!!!!

[@robertsiebenrock3997]

Very nice layout and presentation. Enjoyed every moment and what you did to get the most out of what you have to work with!

[@jimmyjames2022]

"...instead of something that's in your basement." You achieved it alright! This WP 8th sub layout is awesome- from the intricate buildings, lots of various interesting industries and foreground sets to the lifelike back drop artwork. Cedar Creek Canyon is a neat idea forcing viewpoints. I love where the layout goes into the back drops at roads and crossings, seamless. Good job Rob and team. Nice camera / production work as well.

[@douglasemerson9017]

Very nice layout. Well done.

[@jefferykeeper9034]

Great job!!!

[@Perfusionist01]

Really nicely done. I appreciate the philosophy of the layout. I, too, have used the concept of a partial building along the fascia with the back simply flat along the fascia. I agree that not all the industries need to be fully modelled. Great layout, thanks for sharing it with us.

[@hansandersen4106]

Thank you for the Tour from Denmark 😊

[@bnsfbuff]

Beautiful layout! Glad I’ve had the chance to operate on the WP 8th Sub.

[@lacking2010]

Very nice - great explanations

[@Bntrainmaster1]

Absolutely phenomenal layout with some fantastic ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@ryankruchowski1951]

Outstanding video and layout.

[@mikerolf8648]

That waterpipe is a great Idea.

[@marklander5141]

Ron, you nailed it.

[@markevans8262]

Really great layout built by a master modeler. Well done Robbie.

[@railroadbob55]

Thank you Ron and John for a great video. Great tips on operation, track, and scenery.

[@sparky107107]

layout is well detailed, for area and era

[@BevanCranston]

Weathering is some of the most realistic I've seen

[@contracostaexpert]

Extremely well thought out and executed, really enhanced my enjoyment of your line

[@TrainSpotterFromHuapai]

Great layout. Excellent use of different kits to create your industries.

[@streetfightinmanrs]

Love the hidden turn-back, it’s such a unique way to transition between scenes. The farm scene and creek are superb.

[@friedrichshausen_spur_n]

Wonderful layout and great detailed info - very inspiring!

[@riogrande5761]

Great to see a new video featuring Rob's wp8thsub. This layout has been an inspiration for the layout I am currently working on with what little hobby time I have. I've already learned a few scenery bit's from Rob on the MRH forums that he used to frequent including how to make scrub brush from paint stripper pads and river bottom colors to simulate shallows or deeper areas. Thanks for presenting this video and it's nice to see the industry building feature here. There is a lot of food for thought - so many excellent elements to create scenes that look real. There are definitely some great idea's that I can take into consideration as I work on my own layout based on the D&RGW at Grande Junction CO and west into Utah!

[@AllenCNW441]

Like seeing the use of Caboose Industries switch throws.

[@markdeschane4467]

Thanks Rob, very nice layout!

[@PhilBender612]

Great layout.

[@chrispearson8163]

Well done structures, scenery and backdrops - very convincing and realistic. I started following the WP in 1980, and by that time even the modern paint scheme locos were starting to look tired! The lack of upkeep on the rolling stock told its own story and visually foreshadowed the merger with UP. Anyhow, great layout and video, thanks for sharing.

[@deweyhall712]

The hobo union approves of this video....❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@canadianlocomotivelogistics]

Another great video!

[@bobainsworth5057]

Very very nice layout. What is size of room?

[@wp8thsub541]

About 30 feet square.

[@WasatchGarandMan]

Oh thats funny. There is actually a WP GP-38/2 being repainted at the UTA's Frontrunner shops in Salt Lake. A church buddy of mine showed me pictures

[@steve5526]

What did you use for the Black Ballast?, I need that for a DRGW layout. You have such a beautiful layout!

[@neilschwerdt3493]
