Nick,
Very nice job. I hope to see more as your layout continues to progress.
Norm
Fantastic.
Nick, you sure put a lot of work into this video. Very professionally done!
Nick,
The layout is looking superb. Your weathering of the Fastrack really allows it to "blend in" seamlessly with the surrounding scenery. It doesn't look like sectional trackage at all.
Great work.
Mike
Nick,
Ditto on the fastrack! It looks so good! I guess the trick is to cover most of the plastic roadbed. The scenery and detail is amazing. I also like that your family is present on the layout.
Fred
Very nice indeed! I am always interested in modeling Pittsburgh, Horseshoe Curve, and other Western Pennsylvania locales.
Nick,
Thanks for the update on your absolutely fabulous layout, you're a true craftsman.
Everything you did on this layout is simply beautiful. Allan Miller, this layout need's to be featured in OGR magazine!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nick will you be at York this week, if so please stop by the Korber models booth in the orange hall. I'll be working in the booth Thursday and Friday all day, I would like to meet you in person.
Thanks,
Alex
You guys are too kind! Thank you again, much appreciated! 
Mike & Fred - Thanks for the compliments on the weathered fastrack. My method is this: I take elmers glue and basically paint it on with a brush on the sloped sides of the fastrack, and then sprinkle on the ballast. Later I spray watered down glue over the track to harden it all even more. Another step I did later on was, I took some watered down black acrylic paint and a sponge brush, then applied that mixture to the center of the rails and to the outside of the outer rails. It gives it a nice grimy mainline look!
Mark - Thank you very much, always nice to hear from someone local!
Alex - First of all thanks for the very kind words! I wish I was going to York, work isn't permitting it for me currently. I would love to meet you another time. It was nice of you reach out to me. If you're ever in Pittsburgh give me a shout! Its always fun runnin' with someone!
Alex - How could I forget....OGR magazine would be simply awesome!!!! 
lol

What are the dimensions of your layout. It looks like you have managed to get a lot in a relatively small space.
