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...

Idk why but I’ve always loved the look of the PRR engines. They always look so hefty

Wow!
I loved the big band music. From Pittsburgh and the “feel” was there. Horseshoe curve was nice
Got the right music too. Heaven.
Super. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
That is one amazing layout and PRR to the core 😁 Stunning
Impressive video of a great layout.

'GORGEOUS LAYOUT, BUT GLEN MILLER'S "IN THE MOOD" SONG LOCKED IN THE ERA ! NOSTALGIA S E L L S !!!
Beautiful layout!
My friend you hit a grand slam. I’m speechless.
Great video and music.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice music. in the mood Glenn Miller
Big Band music fits well.
Amazing, if the cars and people moved one would easily believe it to be the real McCoy.😊

SWEET!
If I was not modeling the Upper Midwest the the PRR would be the only other thing I would want to model.
What's left to say after "absolutely breathtaking!"? 😊😊😊
Beautiful layout and wondering where this layout is and all, amazing and curious how big it actually is
It's a privately owned layout in Allentown, PA
Layout is 27 X 43
How many locomotives are running on this great layout?
A lot! Easily over 100.
About 110 on the layout. The other 170 are stored in drawers and boxes, some reside on the top of a piano.
This is a fantastic layout. I am new to HO. Could you tell me what is the manufacturer of the tracks?
Atlas
@@landonthetrain thank you
I should have asked you how big is this layout?@@landonthetrain
27x43, it takes up the gentlemans entire basement
thank you.@@landonthetrain
Amazing layout. Anyone know the loco at 3:45?
Thank you! I could be wrong but I think it's an E6 Atlantic.
@@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...
@@parkerbrown7970True, a D16 is a possibility but I don't know for sure.
@@landonthetrain Thank you, that was a good lead. I think it is an Keystone E-5s
Where is this layout; heaven?
Yes it is!
Where is this layout?
Privately owned in Allentown, PA
@@landonthetraindarn. Oh well. At least there are clubs in my area
I’m just going to be honest. For a READING T-1 on a pennsy layout, it just doesn’t fit right.
