    Nothing like 2 rail O scale,scenery right up there with Howard Zane Erie RR and the F&SM RR George Selios. Beautiful work.

    The Chevy Impala at 2:00 looks in good shape. Is it for sale?

      Exactly Cam.....I made this vid many years ago and a lot has changed in this scene...especially the backdrop. Need to make a new one!

  • @michaelhendrickson5287

    This the absolute best layout I have ever seen. I can almost smell the coal dust and diesel fumes of my youth. I'm surprised I missed it earlier.

    Thank you. both the layout and filming were very well done. I visited my gr great grandmother in Sharples mid 1960s when I was 6 or 7 and she lived very close to the tracks - I felt like I was traveling thru time watching your video.

    haha this actually FOOLED ME! I thought I was watching a real film of a train. my first thought was, why in the hell are the houses that close to the track? wow.. I didn't notice the pictures on the wall haha I was looking just at the engine.. when it stopped and pulled back, THEN I realized it was a model train display. haha pretty good. GREAT DETAIL!

    Growing up in Baltimore in the '50s and '60s, I remember the B&O coal trains which always had an empty B&O boxcar before the caboose as this model RR accurately shows. I understand the boxcar was to help block blowing coal dust from the caboose so as to help keep the dust out of the eyes and noses of crew members as they watched over the moving train from the rear.

      I can’t believe you filled the basement with a train layout....my wife has usually gotten to them first 😅

  • @brental1
    @brental1 Před 5 lety

    Very nice; detail is amazing. Do you know the location of the shanty at 0:18? Sure looks like WN Tower in Cowen, WV? I worked there almost 50 years ago; so a little hard to remember!

    This is the most realistic setup I’ve ever seen lol, realistic engine sounds, realistic car sounds, and realistic weathering on everything, even realistic speeds to scale. Amazing layout .

  • @mosesknows2062
    @mosesknows2062 Před 6 lety

    Nice video of a realistic scene... I browsed and subscribed... If you have a sec. give my channel a look, though eclectic, lots of train content, model and real... Take a peek at my club video, >>>"CHERRY VALLEY O SCALE, 2017"<<< (about #30th in from new, large and detailed, "two-rail" layout)... Thanks so much, Moses...

    I'm not sure when Iv'e seen such amazing detail in any model railroad. This is fabulous. I loved the original pictures in the beginning, too. There's something about places like that which gets to me. I know WV has been hurt badly by the loss of the coal industry. I feel for them. I liked the Smoke Chesterfield billboard, too, as if those guys don't inhale enough toxins working in the mines! :-) Thanks for posting.

  • @Gumbo72203
    @Gumbo72203 Před 7 lety

    Some dude in Model Railroader years ago had an O scale layout that I think was B&O based, but it was a coal hauler and I'll never forget, it was HUGE and it had the most epic mountain scenery.... Lehigh Valley maybe? I seem to remember the engines were silver....

    • @donsmith3069

      +bigdadday bubblejomay I used an MP3 sound track from a real train vid I found on youtube :)
