Thanks! If you care to know, I made those boxes from brown paper lunch bags. Cut them into a plus sign, fold up the plus around the middle, then smash it up a bit.
Very nice view of the layout. I really like all the track side details you added, the scenic work around track adds to the feel of a real train ride. My favorite part is coming into the towering structures and the “canyon view” you created, lots of details again, the trash is nice touch, well done!
This shows off the great track work, as well as reminding me why we detail the BACKS of the buildings as well as the fronts. Love all the details and 'junk' strewn about the trackside. Thanks for the ride-along, John, it looks great!
I enjoyed the cab ride along the Beer Line, John! The layout looks great and you can really appreciate the detail from this view point and perspective. Thanks for the ride-a-long. Mike
Nice video of a fine layout. This video helps me locate the "where are we" of some of the switching videos. Your layout really does well of sticking to its theme. The layout also looks fun to operate. Thnks for sharing and inspiring.
I've got to say certain parts of this especially along the elevator as well as the scene with the storefronts I sure felt like I was actually on a locomotive because the realism is so close. Excellent job for taking the time to detail this Unique Piece of railroading
Clever perspective to view your layout. As a kid at family events, I would say I saw Ballantine, Rheingold (grandfather's favorite), Piels, Schaeffer's, Schlitz, and of course Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Considering there aren't many times you would run a camera along the Railroad, there are a lot of areas with details- weeds,pallets etc,that one wouldn't normally see 👍 Your camera car ran beautifully, a credit to your great track laying 👍👍
It's a GoPro Session, kind of old as far as things like that go. My son commented after seeing this that I ought to invest in an updated one. Lol...easy for him to say.
Finally figured out the way the long passing siding (by the big window) works. Does the power cut off on the main and head into the “powerhouse track” and back up around the train to shove the train (most of it) to the end?
Such great fun to see the Beer Line from that perspective! I love the scenes and details behind the structures. How many linear feet is it from one end of the line to the other?
This is a great layout! Love the details like trash and an open cardboard box along the tracks. Vary well done! Thank you for sharing. :)

@@beerlinemodeler Thanks. That's a great idea. :)

Thanks John! Only in this hobby do we all appreciate trash! Lol...
Very nice. I saw a couple of classic 1963 Thunderbirds on your layout.
Great video, really like cab rides like this, and the dog sounds were amazingly realistic 😂
Ah yes, our beagle Leia. She probably thought she saw something. Lol... (Arooooot!)
Excellent work. Great scenery.
Outstanding job on this!
Thanks Rich!
Your layout looks just so finished.. nice to see it from this perspective.. It even has a realistic dog barking..take care.. DD. 😶
Lol...Dave, yea that was our Beagle, Leia.
Thank you for watching!
Love it very much, amazing scenery!
Well done

Thanks Paul!
That's a beautiful layout.
Lovely!!! Thank you for sharing ..
It’s always really amazing how much you’ve accomplished in such a relatively small space here. The details and trackwork are superb, as well.
Thanks Amanda!
@@beerlinemodeler Seeing your videos keeps making me think about starting my own series for what I model, too
John Dick-looking good brother! Great video

Enjoyed the ride…nice track work and I really like your perfect road crossings…the brush / wooded scenes looks great
Thanks!
Well done!

Wow MilwaukeeRoad switch stands!!!!!
Nice layout
I would reccommend that you put in a turntable to turn your engines around, so you don't have to by hand. Good luck with the layout.
Yes, well done. I enjoyed the ride. I like that the camera was focused the whole time. What camera was used?
It's a GoPro Session, kind of old as far as things like that go. My son commented after seeing this that I ought to invest in an updated one. Lol...easy for him to say.
Nice!
Awesome ride. Have you published your track plan anywhere?
Thanks! I actually do not have a track plan.
Finally figured out the way the long passing siding (by the big window) works. Does the power cut off on the main and head into the “powerhouse track” and back up around the train to shove the train (most of it) to the end?
Most of the time, yes. It’s also a run around for the Pabst crew so they can start switching. Plus a meeting place.
Such great fun to see the Beer Line from that perspective! I love the scenes and details behind the structures. How many linear feet is it from one end of the line to the other?
Thanks! The layout is 47’ end to end.
They let the dog be in the locomotive? I would think that’s a big safety problem. 😅
Hey, my little brown eyed floppy eared sweetheart can ride in the cab whenever she wants!🤣
Very nice. Is there any place we can get a drawing of the track plan???
Thank you David. Unfortunately I do not have a track plan. I had made a rough sketch in the beginning then made adjustments as I built the layout.
@@beerlinemodeler Thanks for getting back and OH FOEY!!!
Didn’t MRR do a beer line project way back when?
It might be better without the fisheye lens
