As a Pennsy fan, this layout is a real treat. I appreciate the way Mr. Reynolds has stayed true to PRR practice of only running like model diesels with each other; a practice which the PRR continued until 1963. On the other hand, Elvis Presley and other 1950's rockers might have been more appropriate music background than 1930's era Big Band music. Some of the equipment shown (PRR shadow keystone from 1955, Reading T1 leased in 1956, and Reading Speed Lettering also 1956) indicate a layout in the late 1950's. Beautiful layout!
Great looking layout, however there are many old Fathers of the P & LE line rolling over in their graves. PRR screwed over PGH and western PA on freight charges in the 19th century. The same freight from Philly to PGH was LESS than PGH to Philly. It was cheaper to send crude oil to Cleveland and refine it there, and ship out from Cleveland. The B&O were very helpful in getting freight out of PGH at a cheaper rate, especially on the south shore.
Congratulations on another well done video. The combination of still photos and action shots presents this amazing model railroad in a realistic way. Plus the music adds to the enjoyment. Keep up the good work, Landon!
Hey!! Pretty neat. I liked that you have the RDG T-1 4-8-4. You remembered that the PRR leased some of these from the RDG. Do you have the leased ATSF 2-10-4's as well!
@@landonthetrain Thanks for your answer but I don't think it's an E6. The domes don't look quite right and the boiler on the E6 looks larger to me. The mystery continues...
