Deleware Lackawanna should be nicknamed ''The Alco Saviors!''

Poor NC taking it on the chin. If you look at a map, the Outer Banks protrude out into the Atlantic. I've been down that coast as far as Cape Hatteras. Beautiful.

Great model railroad! Love it! Dirty model railroads are realistic. Clean railroads are more like collectors railroads and or toys. So I'm a fan of dirt!

A very nice video and layout. I have plans to expand my own HO scale layout (I'm looking to model a mountain town served by the PRR in the 1940s-50s), though I don't believe mine will be quite as large as this.

WHAT A NEAT TOUR!!

Donny 'C'......... 'The' Alco Doctor !!! all us old guys are out to pasture now, I wonder if he played his piano for the guys on the tour ? !!

Another great mine tour is the Sterling Mine tour in Franklin, NJ. This mine was a zinc mine. My father-in-law's father was one of the miners killed in a mine accident there.

Several years ago I had the pleasure of visiting this site. I drove the Centenary cross country team to the park for a field meet and had 4 hours to kill so I walked up to the McDade mine and took the tour. In the gift shop I purchased the history of the Knox Mine disaster. As a boy I read of the incident in the Easton Express newspaper. Our family had friends in Sugar Notch. Thanks for the coverage.

Just came across your page, I know this man and the layout, myself and my best friend have run trains at his home before, he is a very nice man and an awesome e modeler. Glad you did a video on it. O and your GVT bob Storch shops tour video was awesome.

Very well done great job on all details thanks for the video c' rr

Muy buena maqueta, muy profesional, buenos detalles de la vida real. Buenas estructuras IHC , DPM, etc. Felicidades. Me es una motivación. Gracias por el video. Muy realista.

Heard what you said about sounds, it uses more power and signal is very important. I model in N scale and most time I run silent just use horn and bell. Full sound is for shows. They do run better without sound

Wow very nice , starting work on my own layout of the Erie Lackawanna and D&H Scranton and Binghamton area. But also freelance

Very nice

Very Nicely Done Love the Layout.

This is a modeled railroad not just model railroad. It may not be prototypical but it show much love and attention to detail.

Great video!

Wonderful tour thanks for sharing 😃

Im going to double down on "Old scchool"., Things worked When you have a threesome of EMD Series running point on power and at a mid train keeping the train tight and not beating the knuckels from taking a beating All is left is to roll off this power and let the air on the main resivior build to90 psi and ready to roll out!

nice layout ! Yes Modelling the Erie and the Lackawanna sure is great. My layout is a piece of the Erie Lackawanna in Pennsylvania in the late 1960s , but in the smaller scale of N . Great video ! thanks !

Cheers for the tour of this layout...great to hear how it all came about and the banter in between.

How big is the layout?

I like this layout,a lot of loving and creative hard work went in to it.Thats what model railroading is all about ,its historical, artistic, and simply fun.I am still working on my layout it is also freelance, early 1960s to now, PC, EL, Pennsylvania , and Norfolk Southern.

Such a worthwhile undertaking by UGM, to restore and preserve an area attraction of such historical significance. New generations will get to experience what is was like to work in a once bustling industry that employed thousands , resulting in thriving businesses and railroads in Scranton and other regions where anthracite coal was mined. Please show your support and appreciation for these enthusiastic volunteers who work earnestly in this endeavor. I can’t wait to see the finished product!

Great Video Thanks for sharing your time and Knowledge

So you are up in Delaware area

Agree with the other posters, wonderful presentation.

Best 45min. Of Americana locomotives. Thanks for the great info

Love this video. I used to see, love, and even get cab rides in the 4068 when she was working the Lamoille Valley Railroad in Vermont . She is the only one of the five LVRC RS 3s that was not scrapped. I would love to hear about her overhaul and how she is running today.

MORONS WEARING MASKS.

Excellent video -- I learned a lot. Thanks for recording this incredibly informative shop visit. Long live 4-axle locomotives! Long live Alco/GE!

Very interesting!.

I enjoyed both 1 & 2 parts immensely. Very informative. Keep the old girls going as long as possible. Thanks for explaining everything. I have learned so much.

Awesome video, thank you.

I retired 1-4-2011 after 36 years in engine service. I ran #86 Richmond, VA to Wash. D.C. and #95 back with one of those techno turds from GE. All that tech crap, 4,200 hp to move 7 Amcans at 70mph, what a waste of money. An RS3, or RS11 could have done the same job without breaking a sweat.

Any of those RS3's have dynamic brakes?

In this crazy world whoever came up with positive train control really hit the nail on the head

Some things should be left "Old School" They were simple and worked

A lot of knowledge right there

Damn that wind

The Alco Doc

This video shows that DL's locos are not going anywhere soon!

Drinking game: Take a shot every time the mechanic says "ya know"

That right there is the man who I would most love to meet in the entire country, The Alco Doctor! I have heard though his Piano from the old shop did not survive the move? Any truth to that? Great video!

This guy this railroad is a National Treasure.

So let's recap... old school is the only school...

Thank God for the Alco Doc !!! : D

The most informative and enjoyable shop tour I ever witnessed. Wish I had been there.

wow i never knew Fairbanks morse owned ALCO. I also never knew they were still making parts for these good engines. Great video!
