  • Take a look at Tim Dickinson's wonderful HO Scale Burlington Northern empire as we follow a grain train, with manned helpers, over the mountain and through numerous yards and staging tracks.
    While the video shows an overall view of the layout, it's difficult to get appreciation for the quality level of this railroad without actually seeing it in person.

    Absolutely great. I worked on the Northern Pacific as a boy, then in the 70's as a welder on Welding Crew #3 on the Burlington Northern. This layout reminds me of the Western Montana area, starting with picking up helpers west of Helena to push the load over Mullen Pass. Very enjoyable...thanks!

    My apartment is about half the size as this layout. Worked my whole life to find out that model trains live better than I do! Thanks for sharing.

    Love the BN switcher - I have never seen one like that before. BN has always been one of my favorites.

    This is a work of great beauty.

    And thanks to the people who clearly put in many, many hours of diligent work in creating the little world there, and for their generosity in sharing the sights and sounds of their labors.

    @SP_Oregon_Division Před 12 lety

    Awesome is right.
    Awesome layout, the motive power, rolling stock, scenery, super-detailing, the list goes on.... best part is the people that make it all happen at each operating session. Thanks to layout owner Tim for sharing this masterpiece, and Craig for documenting / posting!
    Good times, no doubt.

    This layout is more impressive than anything you've ever accomplished in your life, thus far. This model railroad overshadows your negative comment. Goodbye.
    Also, my props to the people who created and run this layout. Awesome job.

    @Spoon200 Před 14 lety

    Great work!!! I wish I could build something like that.... I had one before, not as beautiful as this one but I told myself that I will build another one when I retire from work and looking at this video makes me want to start building now. This is incredible... Gives me lots of ideas...

  • @ACLTony
    @ACLTony Před 13 lety

    Jaw dropping scenery, ballast and track work, beautifully weathered sound equipped units, realistic dispatching, locomotives performing as if they were hauling TONNAGE..............this is as sweet as western model railroading gets!

    @BlackWolfessUSCM Před 15 lety

    I got sucked into model railroading with my hubby's garden railroad when I met him in HS. We've been into HO and G ever since. We model BN after his passion for living near the Chicago-Aurora Racetrack line. I grew up originally near KCS. But My passion has become BN aswell.

  • @Class1aNScaleModelRailroading

    This is probably one of the best operational layout I have seen in a while.

    Burlington Northern had an incredible paint scheme. It's too bad that when the railroads combined to make BNSF, that this corporate scheme was not retained.

  • @zaphr89
    @zaphr89 Před 14 lety

    Wow, that is so cool :) I was part of a N-scale rail association, when i was 12-14, located in a safe room which i think had about 300 meters of tracks. Up until then i had used H0 but changed to N so i could run trains on the railway. Havent used/built or seen something like this in over 10 years, brings back memories. And H0 looks cooler to be honest.

  • @jimritem
    @jimritem Před 12 lety

    I like the casualness of this video. The reality gets awesome and then a giant head pops up - oh that's right it's a model. It is fun how you made use of the space and how the contrast between HO space and the basement is evident. OK so some will say this detracts from the realism and that may be true but it is an interesting ingredient to entertain.

  • @michaelmohrmann
    @michaelmohrmann Před 15 lety

    I'm very impressed by the work done on this layout. And what's more, although I work in N scale, you've still provided me with plenty of inspiration for my own model railroad project. Thank you.
