- Jim Bowers is a fantastic modeler and kit basher. One of the most talented kit bashers I've ever come across. His HO scale layout although modest in size, approximately 14x20ft has a tremendous amount of detail and action. Unless you saw an overview of its size you would think it is much larger layout by watching the video. We will also visit a layouts Jim built for a friend in an upcoming episode . Jim also helps out at the train store Drauger's Derailments also featured on the channel. Please subscribe to the channel to help support it. There is NO cost to do so simply hit the subscribe button and like the video. If you need help with your layout you can contact me directly at alpug1@verizon.net
That is a beautiful layout. Wow. Mr. Bowers is very talented. Thank you both for sharing. I really enjoyed your video. I'll search for others. I also love your knowledge of H.O. building kits. HA! that's great. I remember all those too! Thanks alot.
Wow. That's just unbelievably incredible! What a layout. Not one square inch was overlooked.
That’s just stunning. The backgrounds are so clever and believable. Really beautiful work.
I'm surprised that the Code Enforcement guys haven't cited Joe's Garage for all the junk on the town street. Nice job, Al.
What an unbelievable talent. It is so realistic and detailed, almost beyond belief.
That is flat out the best background I've ever seen. I know you explained how you got the layered effect with the bigger background buildings, but there has to be so much more technique, perception and skill involved. I'm not going to say that other skilled modelers backgrounds are inferior, but I've not seen one yet that truly captures the realism and the perfect homogeneous mesh between the building structures and the photographic background images. It's like comparing a Hunter Biden original work de art to the Mona Lisa. It falls just a tad short! VERY well done, Jim!
Fantastic layout! Every Sunday morning I like to watch model train videos and much to my surprise I am hearing names of places near my hometown of Myerstown! Decades ago my grandpa and I frequented a train shop set in a back alley in Annville.
I think when nobody is around little people come out and live there!
Outstanding. fine tour. thanks.
WOW !!! I also model city railroads. Jim Bowers layout is a masterpiece. I love the details and mini scenes
The amount of never ending tedious detail places this piece of art work among one of the FINEST layouts ever...Right up there with the South Manchester Hampton.
Stunning!
Wow a lot of time involved in that layout looks amazing hopefully one day mine will be that good
Beautiful layout
Very, very nice looking layout. I really appreciate your videos and listening to the modelers who build their layouts. I always come away with new ideas. And the willingness of the people who explain how they build and create things. It’s certainly made me a better modeler. Thanks
The backdrops and the overall attention to detail are absolutely amazing!
Super nice layout with a lot of cool details. Jim Bowers did an excellent job...
The video is very well done also so Kudos to you both.

How awesome. That's gorgeous 💕💕
Absolutely fantastic a talented model railroader
amazing work.
Born in Altoona, PA and raised in Pittsburgh(McKeesport and Homestead areas), this reminds me of both of them.
Amazing scenery and buildings....but the B-52 flying behind the backdrop takes the cake! That is the definition of a "MAN CAVE"!
I love flying as much as trains. It’s a Boing 737-200
Wonderful layout, very atmospheric and realistic!
Very nice layout. The jet aircraft that looks like it is actually flying is a 737. A 727 would have an engine on each side of the fuselage on the tail section, and a third engine where the tail come up from the fuselage for a total of 3 engines. A 737 only has 2 engines, one mounted under each wing.
Drop dead gorgeous layout and design,,excellent godliness details,,thanks for sharing..😊
On my pike, I’d have a railroad cop standing back while the taggers scrub the walls clean - with caustic cleaners.
Gorgeous!!
Hello, very nicely designed layout, congratulations and greetings, Toni
That’s awesome !! Love it
Great detail, awesome!!!
AWESOME LAYOUT
Fabulous!
Fantastic layout. Well done Jim. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice work and well-done layout, a lot of hours in that.
Great video and incredible layout!!!
Thanks for sharing
Beautiful layout.
Thank for sharing
Thank you for the video. Very well made layout. I hope to see it in person one day.
Nice layout. Coal mine rocks.
Nice
Incredible layout. Love all of Jim’s scratch built buildings. Where did he say he found the photos of the tall buildings at the back of the layout?
Don't know hopefully he will answer
Anyone know where to get that steel mill backdrop? And no, that IS a 737.
737 true 🙂
Fantastic, but, where is it ?. Maybe we can visit him one day ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Would like to know a little bit about his signaling, train detectors, and the power source/throttle
All I know is that it is all dcc controlled
Was a Boeing 737!
Can you buy or get Butterfly Trees?
I have not seen them offered for sale but they are harvested in the fall and Jim and I may be able to make a batch check back in September
That was not a 727. 727s have 3 engine at the rear.
