I'll have to say I've not seen a better video with a matched soundtrack with model railroading & life-like train sound like this one. An extremely well made video!
Though an O-gauge man myself, if I was gonna go small, is step down to N and bypass HO altogether. What you/these guys are able to accomplish in this scale is astounding!
I like the splayout, fantastic. The sounds are real, I’m an N scaler myself. I recently made a municipal tower for my N scale Pacific West Coast Railroad. I’m in the process of doing my next 2 projects for it which are an oil tank for the steam locomotive SP Daylight 4449 & a Railroad water tower which will be made from empty Progresso soup cans, dowels for the water tower & pizza box for the tank holding cradles & the oil tank pad area.
I watched this video the other day at work,and couldn't comment. I had to watch it again. I am glad you know how real Rail-roading really is.The meets ! That is where it is. It is common to see double mains,it used to be that way but not anymore.I look forward to,hopefully see more from you. That is a great layout! Thanks!
I love the Mojave rail area. especially as it follows highway 58 by my old house in North Edwards. Those engines would fly across that flat desert right there.
Yes, they are from Interail, which was my company! I designed these models.They are Thrall LO-PAC 2000 cars, vintage 1980s, especially equipped for refrigerated containers for APL (American President Lines). The blue set following them is also an APL car from Interail for dry containers. I sold the tooling to Deluxe Innovations in 1997, but they have not yet re-released these models. - Paul Ingraham
Well,this weekend ,I'm going to 5 different good train areas ,including the Tehachappi loop ,and bring my recording equipment with me. This is a great job at syncing up great audio to a really nice N scale layout!
This was shot at the Golden State Model Railroad Museum in Point Richmond, CA. It is one of 3 layouts at the museum and you can view them Sundays, between April and December -with special holiday shows - please visit: GSMRM.org
A Excellent effort in catching the " feel "of big time Modern American Railways and also perfectly reproducing the look of the countryside. Best of luck for continued success with the Layout.
A very prototypical operation,I'm very impressed with the sound and realistic road speeds in general,the only thing missing is weathering of the cars,engines,rail ties.The signals are awesome,the scenery in general is outstanding. Now,if you were to get into"superdetailing",you could possibly add wires to the telephone poles and add some cell towers.
Hello Jpaufsc, Talgo set comes from Spain brand. In 1990-1992 Ibertren(the brand which made the model), but after closed. Anyway, nowdays, you can find it on Arnold.
Thank you, yes it's a club layout. the layout is about 10 feet by 30ish or so. i believe there was only an issue with NP cars featuring photos on the layout. i have about 10 or so engines, some people have them in the hundreds :P i could say i'm prominently passenger...
Fantastic video and audio! I really appreciate how the rolling stock speed seems quite authentic to scale. I see so many videos with trains traveling at very over the scale speeds. Congratulations and wishes for future success and happiness.
Your attention to detail is outstanding, to say the least.The rock-work on the layout is definatly over the top sir.I'm really impressed at how prototypical your paint-work and detailing on the locomotives are as well.Very nicely done.Would really be interested at getting a quad-set of CN SD70ACe's,as well as some SD40-2's done up by you in the future.Thank-you.
Hi What a great video top looking scenery,love Santa Fe and UP my layouts coming along slowly must put up a short video on it some time anyhow you have a very nice set up there many thanks for showing it. Glen
beautiful layout one thing I noticed the track work from a roadbed to a bridge transition is very uneven you can see the track bulging and the locos/cars going up and down
Beautiful layout! This would be more impressive if it were in focus. As it is, depth of field is so limited only one small area is in focus in each shot. Try shooting this with a camera that has "aperture priority" and close down the aperture to increase the depth of field.
Hey ,there is always a better way,but someone ,especially on CZcams, tries and rains on your......trains! It still is a great job,and next time ,do an even better one,I've seen his,I like your layout better. Keep it up!
Here's a perfect example of why tripods were invented. Take heed, videoers. This is a great video and I enjoyed watching it a lot. A steady camera lets us enjoy the wonderful modelling. It's N scale, for goodness sake, and I still watched! Please join me in my campaign to rid the train video world of shaky, wildly panning and zooming videos.
Hollo hier ist der Rainer aus Erfurt, in Germany, also so wie ihr die Videos erstellt ,habt mit dem herrlich passenden authentischen Sound einfach GENIAL!!!!!!!! wünsche euch weiterhin viel Erfolg und Spaß mit eurer Anlage, Gruß, Rainer
For all of the realism and beauty there is one critical flaw. Where oh where is the caboose. My dad was the Casey Jones of the Illinois Central Rail Road. Started shoveling coal in some of the last steam locomotives still around after WWII. Yes they still had some in the deep south. He worked his way up to engineer in a few years and at the end of his run had seniority from Memphis to the mouth of the gulf. I guess for 40 odd yrs he pulled mile long freighters from Jackson , Mississippi to New Orleans. Any way, he never left the round house without a Caboose tied to the back.
The travelling sound of the railcars is always the sound missing on model trains. You have captured it well. Your scenery is also very good. The focus of the shots need to be more clear though. Nice post
Nice trains but too many closeups. Would like to have a couple shots of the overall layout scenery. What can be seen looks good. Would love to see it all.
Nice layout, a lot of thought and detail went into it. But the thing that always bugs me about most layouts in all scales is the builders don’t accurately weather the power and all of the cars. I’ve never seen and immaculately clean rail car or loci. And yet people build these amazing layouts, yet run toy like mobile equipment on them.
Sound is great, but the depth of field is way too small. you need to get it much larger i think and it will make the video more enjoyable to watch. Nice angles though
Good scenery work and video! Just curious about what looks like one of the German army's Leopard tanks on that depressed center flat car, about the 17 minute mark. ;-)
I'll have to say I've not seen a better video with a matched soundtrack with model railroading & life-like train sound like this one. An extremely well made video!
Though an O-gauge man myself, if I was gonna go small, is step down to N and bypass HO altogether. What you/these guys are able to accomplish in this scale is astounding!
you captured the aspect of the mountains dwarfing the trains perfectly.

Awesome added video. I also love it added to the old color movies someone made from trains in Utah or Colorado.
I love the Mojave rail area. especially as it follows highway 58 by my old house in North Edwards. Those engines would fly across that flat desert right there.
I agree with Bo Hector....really awesome effects and masterpiece layout....

Always a great looking layout, Really nice detail on scenery. I really enjoyed watching all of the action on the railway today. Thanks for sharing!!
That is so stunning. I'm at a loss of words. You're creativity is something else.
Very nice RR. Nice scenery. Thanks for sharing.

You’ve captured some realism in both the video and the model building/scenery; excellent work friends!

The BnSf in green is Awsome love it!

+1 the audio. The sound really makes this video. Very well done.
I just found the channel and I love this train in N scale! Thank you for such a great vidoe!
Hello Jpaufsc, Talgo set comes from Spain brand. In 1990-1992 Ibertren(the brand which made the model), but after closed. Anyway, nowdays, you can find it on Arnold.
This is what I dream about when working on my layout. Awesome sound mixing effects!
Nice touch with the Talgo
Excellent layout, but what really impressed me was the awesome audio. Well done!
Operation is AMAZING!!
That is in Richmond California at the golden state train museum, I have driven my trains there before
Thank you, yes it's a club layout. the layout is about 10 feet by 30ish or so. i believe there was only an issue with NP cars featuring photos on the layout. i have about 10 or so engines, some people have them in the hundreds :P

This looks like the real thing; it's truly amazing!
Love the Operation very Productive.
always have been more into ho scale but this is amazing. the sound, scenery and trains are awesome. excellent job
Nice train.
LG Gert
Ok, thanks I will check it out! I've been looking for a cascade train set forever, I have to say you did an amazing job on it!
Top kwaltijd, mooie baan, goed materiaal zijn voor mij belangrijk maar jullie hebben het allemaal !!

Amazing layout! A lot of work put into it.

Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
beautiful layout

Well that's some amazing work you have there.
I really like the scale speeds, don't often see n-scale trains moving slowly....
Beautiful layout! This would be more impressive if it were in focus. As it is, depth of field is so limited only one small area is in focus in each shot. Try shooting this with a camera that has "aperture priority" and close down the aperture to increase the depth of field.

Great layout,I love your video.
Great shots, too!
How cool is this layout!
BTW, I love the real railway sounds you dubbed in...makes your video very realistic
Incredible layout. Very authentic
I need to take a trip back up to the layout it has been years since I've been up there.
Here's a perfect example of why tripods were invented. Take heed, videoers. This is a great video and I enjoyed watching it a lot. A steady camera lets us enjoy the wonderful modelling. It's N scale, for goodness sake, and I still watched! Please join me in my campaign to rid the train video world of shaky, wildly panning and zooming videos.
Nice, Very Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Very good video, the sound is great. Thumbs up!
@Daniel Pfeil The trains are running at a realistic scale-track speed.
thanks! they're all from real rr clips!
OUTSTANDING!!! If my layout turns out even 1/3 as good as yours, I will be happy!! Thanks
we used micro engineering for visible areas, and peco for the hidden staging yards, etc...
Nice sound affects. Well done. Thanks
This is a really awesome layout!
Fantastic Layout if I hadn't stated prior. Really enjoyed your video
great vid awesome scenry
Hold UP! who made that amtrak cascades set, I honestly would kill for a cascades set made in N scale.
spezial Video
Hollo hier ist der Rainer aus Erfurt, in Germany, also so wie ihr die Videos erstellt ,habt mit dem herrlich passenden authentischen Sound einfach GENIAL!!!!!!!!
wünsche euch weiterhin viel Erfolg und Spaß mit eurer Anlage, Gruß, Rainer

Where have you been?? Under a rock somewhere?? U.S. railroads haven't used cabooses for decades....
Sehr schönes Video. Toll!
Amazing camera work! I'm hoping to build something like this layout one day.
Wonderful sound editing!
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for posting it.
Wwow what a great video, very impressive layout.
Nice talgo set :) - cool looking layout
That is a great layout and a really nice job videoing it!!! Keep'em comming!!!
Thanks!
Cool. Thanks for the info.
Really nice layout!!!
I like the billboard sign
VERY GOOD VIDEO...
wow great job,, and a cool sonun on the trains, to like ur lay out... too and how big is it...
Amazing looks great!
this is a great video
Great Layout, Great Video !!
california, primarily the mojave sub, and donner pass
very nice video !!!
Thanks dude!
The travelling sound of the railcars is always the sound missing on model trains. You have captured it well. Your scenery is also very good. The focus of the shots need to be more clear though. Nice post
Very nice layout.
thanks jamie!
i believe we used the simple plaster/rubber mold technique...
Who made the Talgo set?
Nice trains but too many closeups. Would like to have a couple shots of the overall layout scenery. What can be seen looks good. Would love to see it all.
Nice layout, a lot of thought and detail went into it. But the thing that always bugs me about most layouts in all scales is the builders don’t accurately weather the power and all of the cars. I’ve never seen and immaculately clean rail car or loci. And yet people build these amazing layouts, yet run toy like mobile equipment on them.
thanks dude!
The DOF (Depth of Field) issue, is that because it was shot using a DSLR?
Excellent art.
love the camera angles and views.spectacular scenery.so realistic. where are the sounds from?
Whoa! The white train at 18:03! That's the lowest I have seen!
It is a model of the Amtrak Cascades. they are single level cars that are pretty low slung.
Who made your well cars in the beginning?
Perfect!
How were you able too get an old style CN dash 9? I havent been able to find one for my layout at all.
Sound is great, but the depth of field is way too small. you need to get it much larger i think and it will make the video more enjoyable to watch. Nice angles though
the meet on the 12:00 min is awesome!! can you put a draw or pic of the entire layoout from the top?? amazing!!!
Good scenery work and video!
Just curious about what looks like one of the German army's Leopard tanks on that depressed center flat car, about the 17 minute mark.
