Awesome layout, have a great day 👍🏻

I can’t wait to see more progress. You are doing fantastic so far!!

Super-cool, Dave!

Looks great !

Absolutely stunning. Love this!

Too bad most of this structure won’t be seen…it’s awesome…great job Dave

Saw you release part 2 …I realized I missed part 1…you do a great job painting and weathering structures…

This is some of the best weatheing I've seen, its absolutely brilliant.

Dear Dave, awesome Conrail Geep! Pity you had to have it repaired. Seems the reparation significantly improved the loco’s performance. The ‘Running ‘m light’ series truly is a great way to show this equipment. In all respects I humbly think this series stands out amongst so many review content. First of all because it isn’t a true review, secondly because with this kind of footage you are kind of visually ‘breaking in’ the equipment on your layout. That to me gives this series so much more purpose. Love the Conrail paint scheme and the way this Geep is looking. Very much interested in how you will weather this equipment in the future! Cheerio

Dear Dave, very interesting paint job! Love the way you added the seams on the furnaces/stoves. Considering the way you chose the truss bridge colors, I humbly think your style of tying in the smaller and bigger details with the coloring truly makes a difference. As you said, it may not be completely accurate prototype wise. But as you so clearly put, what does that aspect add to the ‘vista’ when it conceals the details and furthermore affects the illusion of depth? Exactly the emphasis of colors will either blend the way the model is situated/located in its surroundings, or it can underscore either its ‘importance,’ or its significance to the scene. Especially when we’re talking field of depth perception. Very curious for your ongoing process on this project! Looking forward to seeing your next episodes. Cheerio

Dave, your railroad looks nicer each time you share it with us. So impressive! I love the steel mill, what a marvelous structure. The colors you chose to use and your weathering really look great! Bill B.

Love it, Dave! That creek bed looks great! Looks like your ready to pour! Awesome short!!! Bill B.

Awesome engine Dave.

I love how you filmed this as well as your choice of music Keep emm coming.

Great looking engine! Hope to add a 3rdrail Sunset model to my roster as well

You've got some nice scenery.

Hey, Dave, that is a great looking CONRAIL geep! Sorry you had an issue, but it looks like #7163 is in great working order now! Looks great on your railroad!!! Bill B.

going to look great!

Great job on the colors and the application. Really nice steel mill to complement that backdrop.

Dave it looks great! Very realistic. Cool

👍👍

Hey Dave, the layout looks great 👍🏻

That is really looking great! 👍

Fantastic Son!!!❤

cool job !

Needs black soot everywhere

Take my $$ and build me one...lol

Thank you.

I am jealous of your layout and operation.

Pt. 2. I noticed they are 3 rail, did you just work on the bodies? How difficult was it?

Dave, did convert these locos? I notice the scale couplers and fixed pilots.

Layout’s coming along good.

Dave, the weathering and scenery are awesome as always!

❤❤❤❤Sweet

Great run 👍 love the views

Gotta love the SD45 - only issue I have with mine is that kinematic pilot doesn't play nice with anything behind it except another locomotive. Another project, I suppose.

Great ❤ luv the videos!!!

Hey Dave, Your modeling skills are next level. These bridges look real, and look especially realistic when trains traverse them. I also want to compliment your video recording skills and narration. Keep these great videos coming!

Hey Dave, what a beautiful layout! It's even more impressive knowing how young you are, and that you're accomplishing it yourself. Great job! I love the weathering of the trains, structures, and bridges as well as the general flow of the scenes. Looks very natural. My favorite thing is how the mountain and the backdrop blend seamlessly together. I also appreciate how the crossing gates come down and go up at the correct speed and that they activate in the proper timing when the train passes. Many layouts have the gates come down way too fast at the last second, and then they go up too quickly immediately after the train's gone by. Your narration is perfect - not too much talking, just enough to thoroughly explain everything. Next time you make a new video, let's see a passenger train in action. They're my favorites! Best of luck in your KZfaq venture. Perseverance is the key. Just keep putting out quality content on a regular basis, and your followers will come. I'm looking forward to your next video, and binge-watching the previous ones. God Bless You, my friend.

Where did you get this kit from? I can only find HO Scale.

Dear Dave, awesome footage. Love the weathering! Beautiful how this model of the J1A is looking. Especially where the cab seems to sit a tiny bit lower than the boiler, so that kind of ‘slanted’ look of the true to scale engine is accurately represented. Great pics from and around the new bridge piers. Cheerio

Oooh! That's really nice! Love the bridge detail and weathering. Mike

Those bridges are truly a masterpiece. You should be proud of how they turned out, so realistic. I enjoyed the detailed steps of how you went about this. Thank you and keep the videos coming.

Looks fantastic! The layout looks awesome. You've put a lot of time into your endeavor. Keep up the great work.

Great video. Like me

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽Awesomeness 💯🔥

The J1a is one of the greatest locomotive ever Mine is the pride of my fleet Do you weather your own cars Fantastic job

Wow this looks amazing! Great job.

Dear Dave, absolutely awesome how you’ve transformed the bridges! Love the moss color on the bridges and how this color enhances the field of depth, from the scenic vignette of the bridge scene itself, its direct surrounding area and the way the bridge scene ties together the different landscapes, both in the front, close by and further away into the distance, all the way towards the backdrop. Beautiful how you did the maintenance walkway, the PRR bridge railings and the 1/8” wooden beam along the track with the nuts and bolts detail. Great to follow, watch and see this entire bridge project come to life as you’ve shown us. Such a beautiful and great example of showing the entire process from ideas, to gathered elements before mounting, the different tweaks underway, effects after mounting, color choices, details and so forth. Definitely appreciate all the creativity, dedication and enthusiasm you’ve put into this project, both from the modeling as the footage side. Just a big thanks to you for all of this excellent and amazing content. Cheerio

Outstanding work Dave! T-Bone1214 here.
