Poor NC taking it on the chin. If you look at a map, the Outer Banks protrude out into the Atlantic. I've been down that coast as far as Cape Hatteras. Beautiful.

Great model railroad! Love it! Dirty model railroads are realistic. Clean railroads are more like collectors railroads and or toys. So I'm a fan of dirt!

A very nice video and layout. I have plans to expand my own HO scale layout (I'm looking to model a mountain town served by the PRR in the 1940s-50s), though I don't believe mine will be quite as large as this.

Another great mine tour is the Sterling Mine tour in Franklin, NJ. This mine was a zinc mine. My father-in-law's father was one of the miners killed in a mine accident there.

Several years ago I had the pleasure of visiting this site. I drove the Centenary cross country team to the park for a field meet and had 4 hours to kill so I walked up to the McDade mine and took the tour. In the gift shop I purchased the history of the Knox Mine disaster. As a boy I read of the incident in the Easton Express newspaper. Our family had friends in Sugar Notch. Thanks for the coverage.

Heard what you said about sounds, it uses more power and signal is very important. I model in N scale and most time I run silent just use horn and bell. Full sound is for shows. They do run better without sound

Such a worthwhile undertaking by UGM, to restore and preserve an area attraction of such historical significance. New generations will get to experience what is was like to work in a once bustling industry that employed thousands , resulting in thriving businesses and railroads in Scranton and other regions where anthracite coal was mined. Please show your support and appreciation for these enthusiastic volunteers who work earnestly in this endeavor. I can’t wait to see the finished product!

I retired 1-4-2011 after 36 years in engine service. I ran #86 Richmond, VA to Wash. D.C. and #95 back with one of those techno turds from GE. All that tech crap, 4,200 hp to move 7 Amcans at 70mph, what a waste of money. An RS3, or RS11 could have done the same job without breaking a sweat.
