It's rather refreshing to see this period modelled, in O gauge too, large steam locos with long trains of a bye-gone age, wonderful!

Ive been watching your channel for some time now. The content is great and your work is amazing. 6k subs seems low for the quality you bring to the hobby. Hopefully 10K is right around the corner for you. Happy New Year.

Wow. 6 thousand. And I'm one of them!

I am so miserable and old guy, BUT, not even I can deny the amount of time and effort that is going into this project. If only I had this skill.

Its like your standing there 60 some years ago. Keep up the great work Norm! Someday I'll have a similar set up!

Congratulations Norm, with content like yours you should be killing it on Subs!! I'm an HO modeler, specifically Conrail but I love seeing those those Decapods, Mike's and especially those PAs roll thru a scene, being born in 65 I just missed the end of those PAs, FAs and F units being run on a regular basis!!!

Congratulations 6 g awesome scenery

A work of art, as always! Happy New Year Norm! Your layout is a trip through time and truly one of a kind.

I never tire of watching your layout. It's like watching the past come alive again. Thank you for what you contribute to this hobby.

Amazing detail. Beautiful locos

Great editing! I liked it! I just like the timely transitions. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations on 6,000 Norm!!! I love the PRR action!

One of the best things about this channel is I can go railfanning any time from any where haha

Outstanding modeling thru and thru!!

Just as beautiful as scene’s from real life. Honestly I’m glad your layout is in 3 rail o gauge. I need to find that middle rail in your videos to know it’s not real. Also nice to see a diesel locomotive on your layout. Please keep them videos coming.

Congratulations Norm! Awesome layout.

Congratulations Norm. Happy New Year🎉. Your work is fantastic!!!

Looks and Sounds Awesome !

Great video, great camera work, the numerous shots of the various engines was great. I really liked the double header, and those shots from inside buildings are really amazing. Thank you for no distracting background music. Great mix of mainline and yard work too. If I could give more than one like I would. It’s like being transported back in time. Really amazing.

Absolutely phenomenal, Norm! Well done. Happy New Year to you and yours!

Congratulations Norm! Very well deserved! Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year Norm. Great way to start the New Year! Thanks for sharing looking forward to more videos. Congrats on 6K!🍻😃👍

Another excellent video, Norm! The sound is great too, heard this on headphones and it was even better that way. I think a few of your subs might be from my recommending your work to others. I always pass along the good stuff I find, and this is the finest 3-rail layout I've ever seen on video. I especially love the concrete work around 14:41, that's some of the best modeling for concrete slabs I've ever seen

Congratulations on 6K, be safe and Happy New Year's.

Beautiful! Hope to see your Hudson again soon :)

Norm, you layout is simply fantastic! Been watching you for a long time and never get sick of seeing your Pennsy steam. Just great! Would love to see something SP on your layout one of these days

Always a pleasure to watch your "running sesh" videos on your beautiful layout. Thanks for another great video.

As a former Pennsy modeler, I eat this stuff up. Your work captures Pennsy in a way that I don't think anyone else's does. If I had it all to start again (and a bigger basement), I'd seriously consider doing 3-rail this way! I'm always excited to see that you've posted another video. Excellent, excellent work!

Congrats on the 6K milestone Norm! Love watching your layout in action. Take care and Happy New Year!

OUTSTANDING. ! WELL DONE. 🇺🇸

Congrats on 6,000 subscribers! Great stuff as always! Hope to see more excellent videos from you this year.

Happy new year and thank you for sharing all of your videos with us. I’m sure your channel will continue to grow because of all the great work that you do on the layout and on the videos.

Norm, Happy new year! Once again thank you for sharing your totally amazing video, of your work. 10000 subscribers is right around the next bend.

Thanks for this great New Year's run, Norm! New sub here. You have a fantastic layout and especially the great detail of everything on and around it. Happy New Year to you in all good health!

I’ve said this before and will again, your lighting, weathering, background, and attention to the smallest of details, makes your layout second to none. It looks so absolutely real even on my 70” big screen, I would love to see in in person.

Really incredible and inspirational work. Always been a fan of the Pennsy. Used to watch their trains go by on the NE Corridor.

Beautiful layout! Top quality camera work too. Certainly a work to be proud of.

Coolest video of 2022!! HAPPY NEW YEAR Norm!!

Congrats on 6k!! Deserve many more. Best layout on KZfaq!

Wow your layout is beautiful amazing 😀

Wow ! What an artist !!

excellent scenery! awesome!!!!

This is an incredible setup. Subbed.

Beautiful layout and trains 😊👍

Hey Norm, What's the plan for the upcoming year? New locos, bigger roundhouse, sell the wife and kids and turn the house into a layout??😆

Happy new year Norm! Thanks for sharing so many great videos of your layout this past year. Truly inspiring content.

hoping you have some how to footage of painting your backdrops. love the dark blue, light blue, whites melding together but the sky allows the other folliage, buildings, trains to shine thru. Recollect you hung masonite, taped & mud it, did a grey or black primer then blues. did you airbrush to get that...sponges to get the clouds. Definetly would appreciated a video with detail how to on your skies.

Congrats brother Norm!

beautiful

Great job 🚂❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you for the video it's great

The ALCO PAs in freight service were a bit of a surprise. Will you run the centipedes again sometime? I prefer steam, but everything on your layout is top notch. This was a great Happy New Year to everyone. I can't get over the detail including wheel revolutions to chuffs, something I just learned from you recently. I was watching that as you went in and out of the roundhouse. Something I never would have noticed before. Also, the classification lights turned off. Two things I've learned from Norm's Trains. Thanks.

Glad I was pushed this video. I dropped a sub in the first 10 seconds of this video.

Awesomeness! 👏😌

Happy New Year.

Your weathering, both the engines and the cars, seems I'm watching the real stuff. Please do some how to's, starting with a simpler box car or tanker. Few creators do such weathering tutorials and you are gifted. Please think about my suggestion. Ogauge rolling stock has become very expensive, so we need some mentoring in detail, usually unavailable

Thanks norm for the video

Amazing video as always. So in 2021 you achieved what most model railroaders dream of - a completely finished layout. Where does one go from here? I see emply space in your basement. Perhaps an expansion with a longer mainline and more relaxed curves?

Happy New Year!

Guess what I got Norm Lionel's 1990s 1st scale model of the Alco PA with A-B-A set in the colors of the Denver & Rio Grande with 15' in aluminum cars of the California Zephyr. I have a Lionel PWC series Western Pacific F3 A-B-A set that can pull the train and make it prototypical just like how the real Zephyr is handled. The only engine I'm missing is a Lionel Burlington Route F unit.

Impressive!!

Art imitating life..

If you go to a bait shop look for small spells of copper wire for timing Flys and use it on your telephone polls it gives your layout a more realistic look

Very nice

Very artistic

God your layout has to be one of my favorites I've ever seen! I'm curious, with such an immaculate attention to detail you have on your layout, why is it your engines don't have any steam effects? Is it not offered on the engines you have or is there some other reason? Either way, your layout is stunning! Great work!

have you messed around with any of the automation software you got a great layout for it

How did you get your backdrop like that? The clouds look so real!

What you use for your ballast/cinders along the track? Looks great

Beautiful layout norm. Question with the scale couplers can they still open or are they fixed closed?

I'm new to your channel so forgive me for asking this question but what is that engine at the beginning of the video like it and it's tender look very interesting

What Pennsylvania engine was that at the beginning?
