Baltimore & Ohio, the Ridgely Division

Really fun to watch with sound! Nice weathering on the engine. Reminds me of some of the old Soo Line engines that the CP has never bothered to repaint

The scenery and structures look very, very nice, and the weathering and rust staining on the locomotive is most realistic. Perfect. Great job.
I do think, though, the train runs a little fast, and the starts and stops are a little abrupt.

Background is well thought out and executed.
Lots of small touches I really enjoyed.
Congratulations

Excellent scenery detail. Weathered vehicles, hole in house wall and roof. Smooth operation of well weathered loco. Enjoyed the clip.

great scenery great weathering very nice layout

Well done operations and excellent scenery.

This is a very well done layout with excellent track work and well tuned rolling stock. Isn’t it more usual to have loaded hoppers waiting under the tipple, requiring the train crew to set them out somewhere so that the empties can be spotted for loading? After that the crew collects the loads for the return trip. This requires a bit more drilling of cars but adds more interest to the operation and makes it more efficient

I like how the video shows the work being performed by the train. I suggest that horn and bell signals be added to enhance the video. For example, three short blasts to indicate that the engine will be backing up from a stopped position, etc. I hope to see more of this type of video in the future.

great layout

Very nice! I noticed the C&O caboose on the B&O train. I guess that it must be after the merger.

Great video.! Good attention to scenery and details. Fantastic job! chocho Dick

Excellent background scenery and foreground detail. A good rendition of a rural mine area. Also good weathering on the locomotive if you like them tht way. Maybe somewhat repitious on the car movelemts, but this is my first video to critique so I have no valid standard. Non-video Foot note: Do we really need to be told not to use offensive language? What kind of people are we anyway? RKR

Very nice. Thank you for sharing.

beautiful put together video Road switcher very well suited for the job with sound very good .wish you were there type viewing. keep it up.

The weathering, the scenery, the equipment all come together to remind me of what I saw of the B&O/C&O merger during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. I can’t go back in time with my HD video camera, but this is the next best thing.

nicely weathered loco nice looking layout

Nice! I like your layout and your weathering models

Man, that looks and sounds like the real thing. I looks like he has some good scenery too. Good work.

Thanks to everybody for your positive feedback.Hope to have another video out sometime in the near future. Also thanks to Model Railroader for posting the video on their newsletter.
