Awesome looking layout! Thanks for sharing it. 👍 Cheers ~ Boomer.
Thank you too!
Simply amazing. Hi from NZ
Thanks mate down there in NZ - good luck in the rugby World Cup!
I LOVE IT IT LOOKS LIKE MY HO LAYOUT IN THE BASEMENT
Thank you.
Yes a nice small detail great layout
Many thanks!
Realistic switching speed. Excellent!
Thanks!
Inspiring.
Thank you - very kind words.
Great sound! Nicely done!
Thank you.
Great video. Awesome details and layout
Thank you very much!
Fantastic work
Thanks jk.
Simply magnificent. I am in awe.
Wow, thank you!
Magnificent catches of the model train coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars, keep up the great work, my friend, i subscribed your channel, Greetings from Portugal to the UK.
Thank you very much! Good to hear from a fellow European.
@@antonyjerome7478 indeed
@@antonyjerome7478 i have some great videos of the Portuguese trains, feel free to watch and enjoy.
Obviously its early days for your channel, but off to a great start. Can’t wait to see more content.
Much appreciated! I hope to do some videos over Christmas - probably weathering new locos / cabooses.
Realism! 🫡
Thank you.
Very nicely done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Extremely well done scenery. I am just beginning my n-scale layout (I know this is HO-scale), first model train layout for me, having dreamed of doing this since I was a young boy. Your skill at scenery making gives me a very high bar to strive for. Thank you for sharing.
My other layout is in N scale: BNSF Horsethief Bridge czcams.com/video/Q38Iza_uPcM/video.htmlsi=4jhfeHjR3Gfg9_JS - I have videos of it on my channel. We tour that layout around the UK too. Good luck with your layout. If you have any questions - please feel free to get in touch.
Great video,excellent layout😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video. The fidelity of your layout is very nice. Locomotive and the sound was awesome too.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work ,your lighting is just right. And your track is superb. It’s impressive.
Thank you for your kind comment. The track is Peco Streamline - painted and dressed. Peco use photographs of my layout to advertise their track.
Magnificent! Even the speed is realistic!
Thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated.
Thanks Mitch.
Awsome switching layout! Just the right balance between trains and scenery.
It is nice to see some realistic switching action! Will subscribe for sure!
Thank you very much!
Excellent models, trackwork and scenery. Not to mention the filming, lighting, sound and editing. Subbed.
Thanks Xavier.
Miracle uncoupling again. Cuts in the video prevent us from seeing the giant '0-5-0' do the work of magnets.
I aim to do a video on the magnets. I’ll show real time uncoupling in it.
As a fellow Brit modelling US-railroads I must say I love this video. Superb modelling with great attention to detail and great ops! I’d love to see this in the flesh at one of the exhibitions. Subbed!
Thanks Ian. Hope to see you at a show sometime.
Looks like loco 4180 has picked up a lot of road dust. Very nice models. The scenery and roadbed is very well done. Switching was entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! Thanks for the great comment.
Show everything.!!!!!
Check out some of the other videos (and those coming out in the future).
Very nice, hope to see it at one of the shows if I can make it there.
Please do and make yourself known to us if you do so that you can have a look from our side / round the back.
See you at Macclesfield next April, I'm there with my HOn30 Smallville & Wilkston, could even help at Barnsley in November.
Brilliant. It will be just like old times!
PS - unfortunately we’ve already booked the expenses / hotels for Barnsley. I’ve told Graeme, as a southerner, he should treat the trip to the Barnsley show as a journey of self improvement.
The level of modeling and detail on this "touring" railroad is incredible! I'm in the US so highly likely I will be at any of the shows, although the Milton Keynes one would be fun as it also the cradle of building and testing of some of the Formula 1 race teams. Can we please have more videos and info on this BN layout? I is EXACTLY how I would like my efforts to turn out.
Thank you for the kind words Michael. I'll be doing some more videos over the coming weeks. Hopefully, I'll get time at the shows to also video / time lapse how we set up / dismantle the layout.
Very nice! BN modeller in NZ.
It's good to see so many BN fans around the world.
@@antonyjerome7478 I was modelling the Pumpkin era but the Green/ Black pulled me back :-) PS....I had to subscribe to your channel
@@bnrailfannz8262 I model BNBSF from 2010 to the present day in N scale. I am so glad that there are still war bonnets running around.
@@antonyjerome7478 I'm with you there :-)
Depressing thinking about the traffic dwindling. Sad when they tore up the shortlines everywhere in the 70's and 80's.. Pissed me off when they tore out the BN (hannibal and St.Joe) RR across N. Missouri..
Thank you for the kind words. My personal view is that railroads faced unfair competition from trucks (roads being heavily subsidised) and then in effect, the subsidised river barges.
Can wait till you display the set up on Building the layout
I’ll be doing some weathering videos of some Alcoa’s next. Then maybe laser kit building.
Nice modeling! I was wondering how you achieved the weathering on the white building with the pealing paint effect on the clap board at 3:40
Looks amazing.
Thank you very much! I stain the wood with Indian ink. I then put masking fluid on (with a cocktail / tooth pick) and paint over it using acrylic paint. I then rub it down using fine sand / emery paper which reveals the wood where I had applied the masking fluid. I’m going to do a video on it over summer (when I get some time).
Excellent work--- but 1 thing I notice--- and it applies to ALOT of modelers----no RR switches at 1 M.P.H.
Good point. Everybody wants to get home as soon as possible. It's a tricky one - what is right and what looks right on a model. I had to take out the tunnel portals on my N scale layout because despite being absolutely prototypical with the centre cut out at the top for double-stacks, they just didn't look right. I think it's similar with scale speeds. I use the Accutrack speedometer. This is something I need to work on / look at when we exhibit the layout this coming weekend. Thanks for the good point that you make. Certainly something I need to think about.
Excellent. Just excellent! What are you using for lighting? Very natural. About the best I've seen.
Hi David, thank you for the kind words. The lighting is an LED strip light - medium cold. I think the key is to light from the front. We are exhibiting the layout at the Folkestone Model Railway show this weekend (I’m typing this at the hotel on the Friday night having just set up the layout). So many of the layouts are lit from on top or even behind and the layouts are in silhouette. I’ll do a video tomorrow at the show on the lighting.😊
Thanks very much for getting back to me. @@antonyjerome7478
Awesome work , what brand and decoder is that?
Thank you. Atlas loco, pre-fitted early ESU Loksound decoder.
I like the realism. Your weathering is what I'm aiming for. What technique did you use?
Mainly airbrushed, with powders and staining. I will be doing a video of weathering some ALCO locomotives in the near future.
@antonyjerome7478 Nice I can't wait to see
What size is this HO layout. It looks fantastic!
Thank you! It is a switching shelf layout that fits in the car so that we can take it to shows. The scenic section is 9 feet long with 4.5 foot long stagings at either end. The idea is that I can then plug it into my home layout - when I move house, and unplug it when I want to take it to a show. The next video shows the overall length and how we set it up at shows: czcams.com/video/C3ReGqjPGMY/video.htmlsi=LPUGVuvlqaVOF6uQ
Where in washington state is your layout set in? I get a feel it looks like the palouse or maybe the goldendale area. Love what you did here.
Absolutely spot on! I’ve set it on an imaginary branch line that ran between the NP at Palouse and the SP&S at Lantz. I called it Kamiack - fictional (as opposed to Kamiak - a place that actually exists). Thanks for tej kind comment. Peco did a few articles on the layout in their magazine here in England giving the background. You’ve given me a great idea for my next video, which will be about the background / setting of the layout. I’ve just got back from exhibiting the layout at a show this weekend, down on the coast at Folkestone. Thanks again.
One idea for modeling the palouse. Feature a pea and bean warehouse. They where great industry to model as some got peas and beans in covered hoppers by rail from the dakotas. Then finished product out in box cars. Lots of switching. =-)
@@stanleepatterson95 Great idea. I am thinking of an extension and that might work very well. Do you know of any specific bean / pea warehouses that I could research?
Why yes i do. The two that come to mind are the one between the bell xings on south side of tracks in palouse. I believe the warehouse in steptoe also took bean by rail
Love the layout! Which model/decoder is this?
Thank you. This is the Atlas Gold version with (I think) and early Loksound fitted as standard. I now have the Rapido version and I’ve started on a video doing a comparison. In effect, the Rapido looks far superior and is the correct variant for the Burlington Northern - unlike the Atlas model. Also , the Rapido has lots of nice touches including the beacon - which is missing on the Atlas. However, the sound on the old Atlas is far superior and much more like the prototype. I’ve just started weathering the Rapido models.
Thanks! Had my eye on a Rapido but noticed the sound difference between your model and videos of the new Rapido version.
must get g scale
It’s Ho! I don’t have the space, although this Ho layout is actually smaller than my n scale layout.
