Overview of the Erie Railroad
In the first video of this series, Allen Keller introduces the Erie Railroad of Harold Werthwein. As a young man, Harold rode the Erie, watched it, and loved it. This affection for one railroad evolved into a lifetime of study and exploration. Then he modeled the Delaware Division between Port Jervis and Binghamton, New York in HO scale. This series of videos is a tribute to Harold and his impressive work.

File the plastic stubs from the original stirups then drill holes.
Thanks for posting…. I had these videos in VHS… it’s been a while 😂
Somebody needs to tell Borat that that’s a cattle car, not a box car. However, very nice technique.
I want Borat to narrate my videos too
Sounds like a Swedish accent
I think I would change out the wheels first
Man this brings back memories. Great Model RRs HI Allen.
A truly wonderful layout, I really miss Harold.
Anyone know what's become of the layout since his passing?
I've never done model trains, but I love this
How did you get sound effects

Thanks, why you did not push the car to travel free, see if it was accurate. You helped it.🤔!
[thank, you for youre great helpful video]👍
[thank, you for you're great helpful video]👍
Very nice.
Looks fantastic! Excellent work!
it still exists 😊
Great tutorial!
Great video. Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Huh, odd that the trucks are only 2 axel instead of two 2 axel bogies. Is that prototypical?
I actually thought this was a full size train at the beginning
I tried it, all it did was wear out the piece of wood. Guess I'm not understanding your technique
Love the background sounds !!
They should’ve went west through Salamanca!
Hi Allen
Oh and second 😮
Great video

@@ModelRailroadAcademythat’s ridiculous, why is it so hard to just say the name of the app if you guys made the video??
👍
Thank you!
[youre, welcome.@@ModelRailroadAcademy
Oh wow, wasn't expecting that result with the roof. That's wonderful and will definitely be trying that!
Thank you!
Looks interesting
Thank you for watching!
Wow. A real insight….😅
Of the many videos I watched, this is tops. The curb detail is new to me. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Cork is inexpensive really its really expensive 😂
So glad to see this layout is still around, I love going through dad's old back issues of Mr and looking at the pictures of it. So awesome to see it in action!
That’s awesome ❤
Thanks. Takes me back to the early to mid 2000's when I first got in the hobby as a little kid. It's been 20 years of being in the hobby now, and I am on my 3rd layout - proto-freelance industrial layout in 1980's Oregon (Coos bay area).
Very good tips. I've got one flatcar that I put 3 hydrocal castings and they were already covered; all I had to do was paint them with some olive green paint to represent the tarps that covered the load. I used black thread to secure to the flatcar deck. Another thing you can use is very thin strips of electrical tape. I already knew about the CA & baking soda. Now I'll have to give the styrene putty trick a go. I guess one could use the left over sprues to make the liquid styrene. I have a Lionel Texas Special that has the cutout for the reversing lever but it only goes forward. I used the baking soda and CA to fill the gap and then sanded and painted the repair. Came out looking great! Cheers from eastern TN
Can you imagine George’s reaction with his named misspelled in the video?
Well I looked at MRR tutorials and there were no free card stock kits to download. I've gotten a few from Clever Models, i.e., the signal tower in HO & O scales, the Haunted House in O scale and the Silver City tool shed in O scale. Since I've acquired enough rolling stock and engines in Lionel 027 scale I decided to begin modeling in O scale. A few years back Clever Models had a Taylor's General store that I downloaded and built in HO scale and another house in HO scale. Those models taught me how to add relief to a flat card stock model. I'm watching your video to refresh my memory of skills and techniques to use when modeling with card stock. I've incorporated a few tips you've given me over the years like using a single sheet of plastic corrugated material for a mold using Elmer's glue (PVA) and peeling off the layer of glue and using it instead of buying plastic corrugated material every time I wanted to model corrugated steel in HO scale. I always scratch build all my fencing for both scales. Cheers from an old modeler in eastern TN
Thank you for watching and for keeping tabs with us over the years!
Excellent information, thank you
Great video! I love Martin!
Thanks!
thank you, I will try it. !
Enjoy!
Thank you. Looks real good.
Thanks so much!
I too used 14 AWG solid wire for my bus which has runs of around 45' and 20 AWG solid for my drops. My bus wire is household wire and the drops are bell wire from Lowes. Home Depot would work too.
Would be nice if you have the space
