  • Welcome back to the layout. In this video, we take a closer look at how the Paper Mill Local, P31, operates. This line is based on the NS "T-Line" from Asheville, NC to Canton, NC and the Evergreen Paper Plant. Thanks for watching!

    I love the old "southern" lettering showing through on that beat-up high hood SD40-2! Great video, and thanks for sharing with us :)

    This layout is one of the best on TH-cam. I particularly enjoyed this video because a main part of my new layout will be Georgia Pacific's Plattsburgh, NY paper mill. Most of the local and through traffic will be wood/paper as well. Love the real train sounds! Keep up the good work.

    This is really one of my favorites on the channel! I love how you added the view from the Chip View Barbecue with the dishes clinking in the background. All you need now is some figures then you’re good to roll! It’s really cool that way since you get to see different realistic views of the trains as they pass, and not just trackside! You’re actually going out of your way to show different places you could be as they come by. By the tracks, in a restaurant, walking down the street, even on a dance floor like you showed us in an older layout tour, lol. You have the best way of making different views of the trains passing through. That’s what I really love about your operating videos! Keep on going. Also, I can’t wait for the next tour, and tutorial video to come out. You rock with that!

    Great video, great camera angles and lighting for the scenes, realistic speeds and I'm happy to see those wonderful SD40-2's moving rolling stock. Living along the NS in WV, I get to see a number of those old SD's yet today. Besides the coal movements here, intermodal traffic along the Heartland Corridor is great to watch especially traversing the Ohio River near Kenova, WV.

    Just wanted to say that I absolutely love your layout and hope to have one even half as detailed as yours at some point. My grandpa who was my father figure was really into model railroading and he had a huge layout. I would always love watching him run the trains on it when I was young. Sadly, he had to sell all of it when we moved. He recently passed and I have picked up the hobby as a way to remember him and feel close to him. I have a huge collection of antique locomotives and rolling stock I’ve found at antique stores. I am just waiting until I have space to start my layout. Your videos are giving me great inspiration for what I can do with my layout. So thank you!

    I'm pretty sure your layout could be studied by a mathematical physicist. Their analysis would probably conclude something in fantastical equations,, but for regular people, they would probably explain it in words in a scientific paper somewhere...like , "Observing Scaled quantative density combined with natural light, distillates and equals reality when perceived by those scaled observations."
    Or something to that effect. Well done bro. You've completely blown my mindset.
