Cars and locomotives are beautifully weathered and the trackwork is phenominal. I was born and raised in NJ and all I can say is "if I had known then what I know now" I would have definately visited the original terminal. I'd definately like to see a video of the engine entering the engine house especially with that "removable crossover". Keep up the excellent work. Totally awesome.

Is it hand done or decals? If it is the latter could you let me know the supplier please as I've more or less finished a model of this loco in S scale. I realise that the lettering could be a bit on the small side, but is far better than I could do by hand. I notice from your video the lettering on the loco. Is it hand done or decals?

I`m interested in carfloating too, since I contact the websites of Phil about BEDT etc. I`m constructing a H0-model of the PRR-yard at the North 4th St/ Kent Av in Brooklyn (10ft long and 1,5ft deep). It would be kind if you will mail me length and depth of Your layout. With kind regards Joerg Hallo Tim,

All around enjoyable. Just a couple questions - why did you have to circle the warehouse for the second cut of cars? Why not just take the cutoff track you used to bring the light engine back after setting out the first group of cars? Is there a clearance issue or was this prototype practice?

The camera picks up lots of ambient noise from the room so it could be just about anything. Especially irritating is the clicking of the DT400 throttle! Next video I will have to remember to shut that off. Chris,
