Really great hearing from the ME folks! Equally great to see Joshua!

[@tommckee4442]

Hello again from Northern Ireland another great show. What a difference to Joshua without the large facial hair.

[@robertlewis7237]

GREAT SHOW TO WATCHING EVERY TIME THANK YOU FOR VIDEO

[@iannarita9816]

Good to hear good news.

[@mels1811]

Thank you for another brilliant What's Neat This Week in Railroading Ken and everyone 🙂😀😎

[@klbird]

Congratulations to MEW on the move to a small town in Missouri. I have lived in one since retirement in 2005 and would never go back to a city again. The people are great, the business climate is good and the work ethic and family values are in the old AMERICAN tradition .

[@willannand9988]

That building reminds me of the old Kenner "Girder and Panel" toy from the 1960s. We used to use them with our HO trains.

[@daleshipman7139]

This is great news with Micro Engineering and the hobby!

[@ThundercatDarklion]

Awesome!!! I use to live not too far from the EJ&E in New Lennox Illinois back in 2005. Now I live in Rockford Illinois not too far from from the former IC Chicago to Iowa line also the former CN&W line that use to go to Janesville Wisconsin but got cut when Rockcut State Park by Machesney Park Illinois was made and the rock cut the CN&W went through is under the man made lake.

[@scotabot7826]

So glad to know Micro Engineering is going to be OK. I've been looking for a #83 ladder system for a year now. Hopefully I will be able to order before too much longer.

[@ronaldrondeau7870]

Great show again and Joshua is back. Hope your hand will be ok soon

[@johnadams1762]

Scotty Hicks mentioned he found someone printing the Baldwin center cabs. Can you put me in touch with him or give me the address of the individual doing the printing? Another EJ&E fan. Grew up in Gary and had a neighbor who took my dad and I to the Gary engine facility where I got a ride on a center cab from the roundhouse onto the turntable. Brings back memories.

[@yrunaked4]

I am also interested in the center cabs, especially the late EJ&E rebuilds

[@Perfusionist01]

Thanks, this bideo explained why I keep seeing "out of stock" on my track suppliers' web sites

[@jackoesterlejr.3454]

I'm retired @ Chrysler! I'm building an auto assembly plant! I might look @ Walthers @ their assembly plants! Not Ford!! 😁

[@wamozart9573]

Hi Five, Ken!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Best of the best -

[@randydobson1863]

[@larrydemaar409]

Actually, all railroad pocket watches are required to be lever set, not just Hamilton.

[@sparky107107]

they wouldn't like the video i did for their ladder track system, I had 3 switches just fall apart, other people say great track and system, I must of just got a really bad batch

[@randymcneely4983]

720p? For a show about modeling DETAILS?

[@themarkwiens]

Not enough sponsors to afford better quality.

[@daviddryden8088]

Probably some of the worst sound I can remember on WNTW. Good show other than that. Pulling for M.E. The hobby needs this company to succeed.

[@Kensart55]

Your comment on sound.. LoL Lol.. It was perfect!

[@DamonGaskin]

I was a little "hot". I'm watching it right now, and there was a bit of clipping. Not horrible(not as good, as spoken above comparing typical WN/KP productions), but a little off.. The content still was awesome as always!
