As a kid (2nd-4th grade back in the 50s) I actually lived in McKeesport. I remember the steel mills and riding the RDCs to Pittsburgh. Thanks for sharing this beautiful layout. (If you film another it would really be good to cut out the background chatter, and maybe add a bit of narration to give us some information about the club and what we are seeing.)
Very impressive- train layout, design, "small touches" , and camera angles. One of the better videos of trains, I have watched. Bit jerky on the cam, at times, but (big deal).. You showed great angles, on a most impressive layout. I thoroughly enjoyed i.
Really cool vid, this was National Tube that was in McKeesport? I went on a road trip to Pittsburgh about 20 years ago, all through Homestead, Duquesne, McKees Rocks, Aliquippa, McKeesport. I was taking pics of any industrial remains I could find. I desperately wanted to go into some very old buildings in McKeesports old National Tubes buildings, but there was very tight security. I saw what looked like a very old house or wooden building mixed in very old brick buildings that looked like old, original buildings from before National Tube and US Steel Corp. They were across a very large concrete open area, close to the river. Security was so tight I never could get into see those buildings and would bet they are long since torn down now.
Thanks. Its a representation of National Tube, not a meant to be an exact model. It represents various aspects of steel making in the Monongahela Valley in the 1950's.
Finished pipe. We model a pipe piercing mill. Since the layout is loosely based on McKeesport and the surrounding Mon-Valley area, our fictional "Falk Works" mill is based loosely on US Steel National Tube Works and an amalgamation of a few US Steel blast furnaces in the area (such as Carrier Furnace for the old USS Homestead Works).
@@mikepilyih6524 Oh wow cool. I am retired from the former Bethlehem Steel plant in Steelton, PA. I was a railroad rail straightener/inspector. 35 total years at that place. I also worked at the Pipe Mill at that plant.

👍🚂🚞🚞🚞Gorgeous layout👌
ÇOK GÜZEL OLMUŞ ELLERİNİZE SAĞLIK BU BİR EFSANE
the entire steel industry was legendary- you might say- a railfan's dream....
Wow really nice layout and steel mill modeling. Question: At 1:52. Are those billets/blooms and/or rails in those gondolas?

Wow.
I only came here to watch the iron ore trains
Nice
Actually I had a hand in starting this
Again, good detail everywhere except weathering of rolling stock.
Thanks. But it takes time to weather 1200+ car inventory, we're working on it.
That would’ve been an awesome video if it weren’t for the jibber jab in the background.
