One of the most beautiful layouts I have seen. The design, the details, it is all very realistic. A lot of work but also a lot of pleasure radiates from it. Greetings from the Netherlands!

I agree, they did a beautiful job. I wish I lived closer to this club. It’s a 3 hour drive for me to get there. I can’t wait to go again. ( I first posted this reply to you after you commented, but for so reason it posted as a comment, not a reply??)

That's an amazing layout! Loudest open house I've ever heard!lol

Thanks again for stopping by our open house this year! Your video turned out great from it. It was good to see you again and include all of the shenanigans throughout the day. Feel free to stop by again. I'm glad I didn't cause an incident at 15:12 unlike Norfolk Southern in Ohio... maybe I could get a BCOL engine as a reward for not derailing anything?

The Rochester junction area is very well done. Thats an amazing model the depot that, unfortunately, no longer stands. I do appreciate the efforts of the volunteers who do their best to preserve the real place as a park. The club did a good job of modeling the actual location given having to compress it. The Lehigh Valley lives on!

Just wondering why they don't paint strips on the roads for the cars but every other details are spot on ?

I not sure. I can ask one of the members. If I remember correctly, the layout takes place around the 1950s. Maybe they had less lines back then?

Great footage! What a beautiful layout, thanks for sharing! Didn't realize there was a sale associated with this as well. Did you pick anything up?

The sale was only on Saturday because the church had to use the room it was in on Sunday. I would have been interested in those Walthers Power Line towers if they were at a good price!

Hey Mark! Nice video editing from pan still shots to video, back and forth. Did you see Otto up there? I think that's his club layout . Nice to see Victor NY. Once again, hauled bulk milk from that neck of the woods into Buffalo NY Sorrento Dairy. Thanks for posting this, real cool - Bill.

If your only goal is to be negative about someone’s video then stop. Appreciate the time and effort people put into bringing videos for other train enthusiasts to enjoy.

Howzit : What a GREAT Layout; with scenery; structures and detail of absolute note ! Which makes the lack of weathering on many Locos and items of Rolling-Stock being most surprising and indeed; a tad disappointing 😔 .. The overly clean; * Shiny Plastic * trains being such a contrast to the passing high quality everything !🤙🚂

I believe this open house was have fun and run whatever members would like. For example, they don’t normally run Thomas stuff, but it thrills the little kids who came to visit. I was told when they do operation sessions they have era specific trains and I’m not sure how that rolling stock looks. Overall though, it’s a beautiful layout and a fun club!

It was an Open House event, not a private tour. What you can do is, put the video on and turn off the volume. Then have a second device and have it play a video of train sounds. Problem solved.
