@@chucksmodelrailroad thanks for the run today brother! I feel very fortunate to have been able to enjoy your incredible layout one last time! Can’t wait for your new empire!
I have the same locomotive, actually the owners son watches my TH-cam channel and said my review of the engine made them want to purchase the one they have. Here is the link to my review: th-cam.com/video/VM7Htt0466A/w-d-xo.html
(This is Tom, not Sandra.) Great train layout!!! Thank you for posting it!!! Happy New Year to you in 2023!!! May GOD bless you and yours in this new year!!!! See ya !!!!
Great layout. Almost looks real enough to live in. It must be in "Small Town, USA". None of the cars have any graffiti on them. Thanks for the post. L8R daze . . .
Thank you! I sounds so good. I posted a private video you can hear it better in this one. It’s wasn’t full throttle but it just sounded great and the downshifting 🤤 lol Blue thunder spirited pull in front of police lol th-cam.com/video/wF8A7eDu7iw/w-d-xo.html
Some decades back a friends dad had an extensive train setup (bought house for the basement) and I believe once a month he'd invite friends over, hand them schedules (arrivals, departures, switch cars, switch trains, etc...), they'd run for an entire day with my friends dad overseeing everything from an elevated corner booth. ;-)
O scale (or O gauge) is a scale commonly used for toy trains and rail transport modelling. Introduced by German toy manufacturer Märklin around 1900. 1:48 - 1:43.5 scale.
Great video Nick! That is one awesome looking layout for sure! Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day! Happy New Year to you and your family! May it be a great year for you!
Thank you Vincent you’re too kind! Chuck built an amazing empire here and it’s going to be different but better I think. Happy New Years to you and your family as well.
Great to see you guys running some trains Nick. Chuck told me about his new plans. Hopefully this year you guys can make it out to the east side of PA to run trains here. Have fun railroading.
Lol yeah it was decent weather today so I got the cob webs out of it 😂. Want a better clip I have a few private videos: here’s one lol th-cam.com/video/wF8A7eDu7iw/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic layout tour Nick. Is the curved trestle bridge also on a grade, or is it just the camera angles? I would think it would be difficult to build one on a graded curve, but would be an interesting idea gor my layout I've been planning.
@@PghTrainFanatic somehow I wound up with something like 13-15 of 'em, but haven't run them yet (I nicknamed them "layout shrinkers") . Fortunately my loop is 072, with clearances designed for the overhang of a DDA40X, so I should be good there :D
I can't help but notice but the loco shed and switching house are very similar in appearance to some British motive power depot structures and signal box.
Yeah his reefer collection is probably the nicest you’ll ever see! It’s a mix of mostly Altas, MTH and some Kline. He does have an icing station but it’s gigantic and I think his next layout has plans for it. Stay tuned and subscribe to chuck!
I have seen a lot of phantastic model railroads in the US ( f.e Franklin & South Manchester, Pelican Bay & Navigation, San Juan Central) but this one definetly does not belong to them.
Happy New Years train friends! 🎆🎇2022‼️
You too
Happy New year brother.
@@chucksmodelrailroad you too

@🎉Braden Ahner🎉 your name is almost mine
It was funny to see that National Bohemian Beer box car. Their slogan was "Oh Boy, what a beer!". We used to say, "Oh boy, what a hangover!".
LOL that’s hilarious! Thanks for watching and for the laughs! Nick-
when i was a kid in the 50s we used to go to buel planitarium on the north side and see a gigantic train layout
that blue Conrail's smoke kit was amazing.!!
I have the same locomotive, actually the owners son watches my TH-cam channel and said my review of the engine made them want to purchase the one they have.

Looks like a lifetime of work…beautiful

A somewhat small but beautiful layout. Hate to see it go but the creative mind is calling him and met of us knows that means the eight day has come.
Love your GT-350! The sound is the best.
Thank you! I sounds so good. I posted a private video you can hear it better in this one. It’s wasn’t full throttle but it just sounded great and the downshifting 🤤 lol

It's Reefer Madness in there.
WOODSIDED REEFER MADNESS IS RIGHT! LOL

Just beautiful
Love the sounds of that conrail èngine
I want to cry already! What an awesome layout he has.
Honestly I do as well but it’s time to do something a little different and make easier on me. I appreciate you following me! Stayed tuned
@@chucksmodelrailroad I certainly will you can count on it! Thank you for what you do! Happy New Year!
I felt a little choked up yesterday too lol
I love trains and Amtrak trains and tri rail trains and fec freight trains and brightline trains
Wow. That is a really nice layout. Also I was watching the beginning of the video and recognized where you were. I used to live up in that area.
You drove right by where I live in the beginning. Parnassus triangle.
Well done! Happy New Years to all! 👏😏🍾🥂🎊🎉
Thanks buddy! Happy new year! 🥳
He has an amazing layout!
Thank you Randy.
Def A true craftsman Randy! Just those wooden bridges he hand built alone are unbelievable!!
@@PghTrainFanatic Thank you for the kind words Nick. That bridge is definitely one of a kind and I really enjoyed building it.
Love the bridge. That would be quite an accomplishment on a straight of way. So I can’t even phantom doing that on a corner.
Dakman had to love that steam engine!

I look forward to another amazing year of PGH Train fanatic! Happy New Year to you and your family! I also love Chucks Channel!
Thanks so much Randy! I hope you have a happy and healthy new year my friend!
give me 4 years and might be this close to level
Excellent video, likes from me ..
That is cool
Very nice!
Thanks so much!
The S1 looks great on his layout
Great video Nick! That is one awesome looking layout for sure! Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day! Happy New Year to you and your family! May it be a great year for you!

AWESOME- wish you had a bit more post war but that is a small criticism- AWESOME layout:)
All those local beer cars and no DuBois Budweiser? Nice tour of a great layout.
Awesome run Nick!!!!
Yes indeed Jeff! The last run is always though. It will be worth it in the long run
Thanks for sharing this awesome layout Nick! Happy New Year to you and your family.
Thank you Steven! Chucks layout will be never forgotten, and I’m sure what he does next will be equally as impressive! Take care and happy new year!
the layout looks awesome! Great video and happy 2022!
Thanks Davvon! Chucks layout is incredible!
happy new year Awesome video also sad to
Man I'd love to have that layout
AWESOME!!!!!
Wow
IKR!
@@PghTrainFanatic IKR?
I hear a 5.2 L flat plain crank voodoo motor…. Sounds like angry Chewbacca
Lol yeah it was decent weather today so I got the cob webs out of it 😂. Want a better clip I have a few private videos: here’s one lol
th-cam.com/video/wF8A7eDu7iw/w-d-xo.html
The only thing missing is the artistic paint spray can graffiti on the sides of the various cars.
I have never seen so many reefers in my entire life
Awesome video!!
Thanks for the nice compliment. His layout speaks for itself!
Fantastic layout tour Nick. Is the curved trestle bridge also on a grade, or is it just the camera angles? I would think it would be difficult to build one on a graded curve, but would be an interesting idea gor my layout I've been planning.
I noticed one of those monster 86' boxcars up on the ceiling shelf at 1:19. Have you had any operational 'gotchas' running that car?
I have a few of them in my collection. The only things I’ll say about them are you need at least 060 curves and the inside overhang is pretty bad lol
@@PghTrainFanatic somehow I wound up with something like 13-15 of 'em, but haven't run them yet (I nicknamed them "layout shrinkers") . Fortunately my loop is 072, with clearances designed for the overhang of a DDA40X, so I should be good there :D
Do you mind sharing where you got the train box or how you built it? Would love to have one!
It’s homemade but I didn’t make it. An old friend gave it to me as a gift a while back
Great run Nick! Happy New Year!!
Thanks John! Wishing you the best in 2022!
Beautiful layout love the blue engine looked amazing. What is Chuck going to do when he takes his layout down.
Very sad to see this for the last time
I can't help but notice but the loco shed and switching house are very similar in appearance to some British motive power depot structures and signal box.
I really like the refers. Are they Atlas and does he have an icing station?
Yeah his reefer collection is probably the nicest you’ll ever see! It’s a mix of mostly Altas, MTH and some Kline. He does have an icing station but it’s gigantic and I think his next layout has plans for it. Stay tuned and subscribe to chuck!
Nice layout! I see a lot of similarities to your layout here. Happy New Year!
Man I wish I had money.
Wow great 😊
How can I buy this train in india
In the description of the video it says "Chick has decided...". Is it Chick or Chuck?
Chuck! It’s in the title and I stated it during the beginning of the video. Thanks
I have seen a lot of phantastic model railroads in the US ( f.e Franklin & South Manchester, Pelican Bay & Navigation, San Juan Central) but this one definetly does not belong to them.
Diesel??? HOW DARE YOU, SIR?!?
Clickbait title.
It’s not clickbait that was the last running session with friends. He has already started to dismantle it. Thanks!
