I gotta say, this is a really nice layout. Makes me want to visit Strasburg more than I already did. Edit: I have since visited Strasburg and can indeed say that this model is pretty accurate.
I belonged to the Belmont Shore MRRC, San Pedro, Ca.. long long ago, that invented modular MRRing.. (in N).. I though, never cared for modular, what I've seen over decades...But THIS modular Mod-RR is fantastic; best I've EVER seen, what with the complexities and confines of this type setup..And I'm a hard core 'point to point' man. (makes one have to run a railroad the way most really are).. The first, and the comedic second narration are a great addition here, as well. I laughed aloud ! Great to find the old MRRing sense of humor is still alive. We sometimes get a bit too serious about it all. Thanks to, TSMRR company..., camera and sound ....
It’s a shame I missed this event. This layout is incredible. I’ve set foot in every square inch of that complex over the years and the detail is fabulous. I always seem to get caught at the Caboose Motel crossing especially when I’m in a hurry. I like that you have still RDG 1187 there even though it’s just a memory at Strasburg now.
Could this be the only model railroad that has nearly every last bit of its prototype's trackage? Very detailed, too, and the rolling stock is a spitting image as well. Fun fact: #33 was sold sometime in the 2000s to a private owner and eventually wound up at the Walkersville Southern, where it was recently given a proper coat of Brunswick green.
I'm not sure about 1361, but #611 has been up to Strasburg a few times to reunite with her sister (N&W #475), pull excursion trains, and give people the opportunity to look into her cab. i was very, very fortunate to have ridden behind "the Queen of Steam" in 2019 when she first visited.
Jimmy wasn’t present for the SRR O scale but I posted videos on TH-cam of our SRR O scale display and the guys in the LEGO Division of our club posted videos on TH-cam of their SRR LEGO display
You can see Percy at 11:43 in the video to the right. Also I’m pretty sure you can see the engine strasburg uses for mavis in the video. As for rusty……. Yeah I don’t think they would’ve modeled him. Heck Tomas isn’t even accurate

I don't blame them for using the Hornby Thomas, it's actually really powerful

Excellent video, great skills behind the camera and your ride narration was top shelf. Bravo and thanks for sharing your talents with us.😊
That is one mind blowing layout. Thank You.
awesome layout. I hope I get a chance to see it, and the real railroad when I next visit.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

Hey, it's Dan from NVMR! I saw this video in my recommended and immediately recognized your voice! Nice shots.

only thing missing is smoke coming out of the steam engines.
Were 611 and 1361 up from North Carolina for a visit?

Nice
Will you be uploading video of the O scale and Lego layouts as wel?

19:58 Come on man, no excavator jokes? I was so expecting it only to be disappointed.
I’m not going to mock the railroad I’ve been modeling for 30 years with excavator jokes.
It’s not Straaaazburg as your saying. My gosh. Very cool layout.
Why wasn’t Percy, Mavis or Rusty in this
You can see Percy at 11:43 in the video to the right. Also I’m pretty sure you can see the engine strasburg uses for mavis in the video. As for rusty……. Yeah I don’t think they would’ve modeled him. Heck Tomas isn’t even accurate
