Very nice scene, locos looked/sounded great, just a mild touch of weathering. It would have been perfect if the signal repairman turned when the horns sounded (ah, but to live in a drams?). Would like to see the rest of the layout especially if it is as good as the scene. Keep up the good work

very nice looking layout and locomotives. Sound really nice as well.

Fantastic! Great job, would like to see more. Thanks for the look-see.

Let’s see more!

I drove the 917D at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola, Ca. A terrific experience!!!

Beautiful Loco set, and weathering. Looks like a nice layout, w
ould like to see more and operations. Only thing I would change is more momentum and slower start. Got to rev up a bit before moving, eh?

Very very nice. I really like what you did with the trucks

This scene is most typical - good job! I too would like to see the rest of the layout.

Beautifully detailed scene.

Great looking consist !!

As a WP fan, all I can say is…WOW!

Very realistic video clip. I would have liked to have seen more.

Great looking job.

I agree with the above kudos. I needed a second look to understand what Mr. Stewart meant about the trucks. Nice!

good video clip on WP

Amazingly real!!!

Just remember the “REAL” Western Pacific 805A exists at the Western Pacific RR Museum in Portola, CA! How do I know this? I was involved in the restoration and repair of this locomotive. I was Superintendent Of Operations for 10 years at this museum! Great job on this model. Looks good. Only problem with the video is the “Sound” was terrible!

FINE JOB ,GOOD DETAILS , LOOKS REALISTIC !!

Wonderful weathering on the locomotives. They have that look that shows use but they are washed sometimes. It’s a difficult look to achieve. As nice as the locomotives appeared I want to see more of the scenery!
