  • Welcome to Tim Dickinson's BN model railroad. In this video, we take a close look at operations on the layout and follow 2 mainline freight trains as they make their way over the mountain pass. Thanks for watching!

    As a non modeller this layout is mind blowing. I have no idea how you could conceive and build such a thing. The narration and filming does justice such a wonderful piece of art.

    I first met Tim in Kindergarten at Sunflower Elementary School in Glendora. I don't remember our first conversation, but I'm sure it involved trains. Tim gave me my love of trains and model railroading (and my first kitten!). He opened his heart and house to so many model railroaders. He is greatly missed. R.I.P. my friend...

    Dang. So sad to hear of Tim's passing. He was definitely a master of his craft and his beautiful layout really does the Pacific Division justice. I wasn't around in '76, but I really feel like I'm transported back there when I see this layout.

    I’ve literally watched videos for years of this layout. Was one of the big reasons I got so deep into BN along with my SF diesel fleet. Bittersweet to rewind 50 years on my new layout but I’m sure I’ll have an excuse to run them every so often

Still in the planning stage on my n scale railroad which will be based on The PRR and the line from Bellwood PA through the Altoona yard and shops, Horseshoe Curve and on to Tunnel Hill. I will be running steam on up to modern equipment. The bench work will be starting in the fall. Anyways, Please keep the videos coming¡

    @jeffreymcfadden9403 Před rokem

    Back about 1990 on a siding track north of Lebanon , OHIO(ex PRR) rested a locomotive that was used for switching the line.
    It was a "pure" BN RS11.
    No alteration of the paint job at all.
    Have often wondered what ever happened to it.
    For many years former C&O GP7 operated this line. I&O GP 7 55 is the oldest operating GP 7 in the USA.

    @dennisjones8991 Před rokem +1

    The audio for this is amazing. To catch this, Tim must have been either a railroader or a very active modeler. The way the sounds are represented are mind blowing, from the sounds of notch 8, the air "snaps", air horns and the dynamic brake noises of the locos, though the high pitched whine of metal upon metal in the curves along with the rumble of empty cars and the rattle of wheels across the jointed track. Love this! I worked as a crew transporter for BNSF, UP and Amtrak and smaller roads in the Pacific NW.

    • @beeble2003

  • @johnniewelbornjr.8940

    I didn't realize he had passed away and I recall this sense of loss when hearing of modelers I grew up admiring during my active modeling years in 80's and 90's. Such modelers are far and few between... You were quite fortunate indeed to capture all of this beautifully detailed layout that was not only superb in appearance but also exceptionally interesting from an operating standpoint. The old Alcos, first and second generation power (a hodge-podge after the merger, of course), the lighting (from overall to the signs and signals) were simply incredible. Thanks for sharing this.
