It's nice to see the last of the good days of the B&O and a little street running. You've brought history to life with your impeccable layout.

Man, that is one of the most realistic urban switching scenes I've ever seen. Excellent work both on the layout and on the video. Very impressive. Great work.

These cars are beautifully weathered. The best!

I have never seen a more realistic industrial street running area. Everything down to leaning fences, cracks and imperfections in pavement and sidewalks and amazing undergrowth. Weathering has been raised to an art form here. Just amazing.

The attention to detail made is so realistic I felt like I was there. I could smell the creosote of the cross ties. Great video. Fantastic layout. 👏

I remember riding my bicycle downtown in the early 50s to watch Street work of the Springfield Suburban switching several places. Was originally an interurban streetcar line. Picked up cars at an interchange NYC on one end and DT&I at the other. My grandfather rode the inter urban to work with his carpenter chest. Sure brought back memories, thanks BobS

To Don.. I do not know you but I have watched this video and read the comments and please let me say honestly I have just had my mind BLOWN! The retail on this layout to the streets with manholes and concrete slabs to the buildings with the Rexall neon sign and the cars and trucks! The perfect weathering of EVERY aspect on each car perfectly done I must say and then to top it all off the soundtrack... Like I said before my mind was

Do you know, I swear I saw one of the figures move. Great lighting, looks just like cine film.

[revealingfactsall]

Honestly it's hard to tell this is a model. Remove the crew figures and I don't think you could tell. Incredible craftsmanship... what a pleasure to watch.

Beautiful of been a lot of fun creating this yard area on your thanks for sharing 👏👍

[Stevelikestrains]

This is as realistic as it gets, both video and especially audio wise and well worth viewing. With the name Fairmount, is this layout in the Philadelphia area. Thank you for sharing. Excellent work.

Excellent job of switching Allied Chemical. The industrial tracks are very realistic looking with plenty of junk strewn along the sides. Great buildings, scenery and equipment! Mike

[UnknownIdaho]

Looks beautifully industrial and the sound is great! I bet it took more time to synchronize the sound then to perform the actual switching!

I remember seeing this kind of switching as a kid in San Francisco: giant, noisy machines through concrete canyons…

[garybarnett]

I always loved switching. Especially when it was street running.

This video you can watch over and over and not get tired of watching it

[pointstrains]

Yet another of many incredible detailed video's! 👍 Nothing but respect for the time, artistry, and dedication it takes to create this.

Exceptional piece of highly detailed work, detail is very realistic, sound effects match actual equipment, even the background & lighting for the time of day is visually amazing. I've worked on a switch crew in the past and not to be critical but one thing noticed, was during street/building switching situations, there is always a switch/ brakeman mounted on the end car with a radio or lantern, unless building or dock clearance will not permit when the engine is shoving from the opposite end and visibility is not 100 %, done for obvious safety reasons.
