Are those esu chips? And are you using a PT? The locos sound great! I personally went down the ESU/PT rabbit hole on my n scale fleet. Keep up the awesome work!

Great lay out 😊😊😊

The excellent eye for detail and scenery on this layout is also translated in the sound. The locomotives sound real, the illusion of weight and horsepower are what make this layout absolutely enjoyable to watch and no doubt operate as well.

Always great to see the units go through their paces as they move around some classic old boxcars and refrigerators. I always remember the long track closest to 3rd Street would get 40 ft boxcars for loading the spent grain from Pabst are there sure were a lot of Fallen Flags right up until the end of rail service. I do remember one other use for some of the small Milwaukee Road cars is that the shops here in the late 70s converted some to MOW bunk cars and possibly kitchen or bathroom cars. They were painted an oxide brown and I doubt if more than 12 were converted. While the SOO would have gotten them in the merger I doubt if any made it to theCP era

I just can't say enough about those Geeps John

Those Geeps are fabulous! Thanks for another fun Ops video!

Great video, John. The 567 prime movers in the geeps sound excellent. Thanks for another enjoyable switching session. Mike

Love your layout and that sound and the scenery is just wonderful!

Tsunami sound ?

Love the detailing and weathering on your rolling stock. Okay, and on everything else! I’ll be getting a Milwaukee GP40 soon and I think I will follow your approach with the weathering. Thanks for posting…great job.

Awesome John

Road construction scene is a nice touch

Amazing

Nice video. What sound is in the F-M units?

Geeps sound great

Great action & fine models, John. Your videography is superb as well

Flawless speed and the sound simply doesn't get any better than this.

Those Geeps look good running around your layout!

I got lost for a minute. Forgot I was watching a model. Thank you!

Good work.

Is that Soundtraxx sound? Sounds great

Nice job John.

I´m very happy I invested the 30mins to watch your video 🙂Great operations, great locos with amazing sound and beautiful details to be found on your layout!

The number boards on the side of the locomotive are interesting. Unique to the MR?

Great scene. What time era are you modeling?

fantastic video and layout

A nice selection of cars to be switched and that was a flashback when I first saw the multi-mark CP scheme on the newsprint cars. Far and away that is the most realistic sounding GP9 I've heard. Even though it usually was F units I do remember a few GP9s making a quick turn if they were short on power. Good old 316 that unit was a regular on both the local going up to Plymouth and also on the trains to Green Bay as I worked trackside just north of Canco. Great video!

Nice, John. The GP9's look and sound great. Excellent job on the spark arrestors. Thanks! Mike

The sound alone is worth the price of admission. I love the near flawless speed control. Proof that a layout doesn't have to be huge to be enjoyable.

This takes me back, for different reasons. I was always on Schlitz patrol when I was a teenager. Sometimes my dad would "forget" how many beers he had left in the fridge. 😀

Great looking equipment and smooth running. Scenery is superb. Well done 😎🚂🇺🇸

I really enjoyed the Tour! Do you have a schematic of the layout? The city details look great!

Love the Milwaukee Road. Nice layout. I really like the weathering on the locos and rolling stock. All the track side details. Great job, is a joy to look at.

Super cool video, well done.. FM locomotives are the icing on the cake 👍🚂🇺🇸

Magnificent catches of the model trains coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars. Thumbs up. Keep up the perfect work, my friend, I just liked and subscribed your channel, Greetings from Portugal to the USA.

Another beautiful switching session on that beautiful layout!

Ah that realism is just fantastic. I still remember those smaller URTX\MILW. Cars on the Pabst track being loaded by hand from those small trailers they had. After the brewery stopped shipping by rail they spent their final years hauling bagged silica sand from Portage WI. and sauerkraut in cans and jars from Franksville WI. I hope one is preserved somewhere

The Milwaukee FMs used to switch in Council Bluffs Iowa. From experience, I can tell you that you have successfully re created Milw Road railroading.

The H16-44's sound great and look right at home on the Beer Line. I really like the close-in camera shots as they add realism to the already realistic scenes. Another excellent video showing operations on your fine model railroad! Thank you, John. Mike

Fun! Those are some big locomotives! Your track work is probably better than the prototype was nearing the end. :)

The large open air building at the 24:55 time line is what building??? Looks like a regular building that you used as something other than it was supposed to be used for. I like it a lot!!!

Makes me nostalgic for my youth back in the 80s before they developed the Humboldt yards and decommissioned the line. Good work, keep it up!

Being a retired brewery worker I appreciate you modeling of these historic Milwaukee breweries.

Very nice airbrush work. Thanks for sharing & posting. I use my airbrush a lot for weathering, both of them. Acrylics sprayed through Badger 155 Anthem (.75mm bottom sucker) & lacquer sprayed through Harbor Freight Avanti (.3mm gravity fed). I've watched many a video on the Avanti with expert airbrush artists' reviews (A+) extolling its virtues, so I got one for $26.99 and it sprays better than the Badger. I do like watching airbrush techniques from modelers like you who take the time to pass on good information. I found and old pint can of Rust-oleum rusty metal primer which is lacquer based and I really had to thin it to run through the airbrush. When dried it looks like old rust & I use it on my wheels, couplers, truck springs & it's perfect for boxcar red oxide. I first tried it on my Tichy Train Group ore cars I built along with a 40' 50 ton flatcar & 40' 40 ton wooden side gondola. When modeling the late 1800's through the early 1900's one must build rolling stock from kits 'cause ya just can't find good RTR with K-brakes. Besides I love to build kits. Cheers from an ex-Georgian in eastern TN

Very inspiring layout. I like how you used Sanborn maps.

Great video of the back of your hand. Ever think to maybe move the camera off to the side so we can actually see what your doing with the brush?

And the blatz warehouse?

What paint color do you use for the shlitz bottling plant? Thanks.

Lance Mindheim would easily get a nervous breakdown for you not waiting 2mins after every move in order to have the invisible conductor run from one end of the train to the other 😂 (just kidding). Great switching video!

Hi. Beautful layout and very nicely done scenery! So many details to discover. Looks like a lot of fun for switching ops.
