WOW, the story about the layout, and the detail is top shelf all the way.. thank you for sharing....

I think Hyce needs to see this and see if they can use these in some of the 3d train video games they are making.

These are precisely the True Line Trains MP36. It looks like Atlas just bought the tooling from them. The TLT MP36's did a better job of fading the silver to the blue. Aaaand, now you just mentioned that. I owned 4 of the TLT models. They came in a foam case, like kato locomotives. They were pretty nice.

Thats an amazing organization. That engine looks great. Thanks to all the volunteers who work there.

The absolute model railroad madness that I watched with great interest yesterday and today. 👍 Unfortunately, my English is not so good, so I could only follow your explanations to a limited extent. I'll have this text translated by Deepl Pro so that everything is perfect. Deepl is also working on translating spoken texts in real time, so I can finally follow the explanations in a foreign language. Back to the layout: an incredible masterpiece, what you and your friends have created. I have seen many American model train layouts on KZbin, but this one is more than fantastic. A long time ago, I saw a video that presented a huge layout in a museum or something similar. Your layout reflects reality very perfectly. I looked at a few prototype pictures and compared them to the structures on your layout. It's incredibly realistic. The prototypical speeds, the acoustics of the various locomotives... phenomenal! I really liked the acoustics with the water crane, the lowering/raising of the water arm, the realistic filling noise, great. I would be very interested in some technical details, for example the dimensions of the entire layout (length, width, height), how long you worked on this masterpiece, etc. I would be very happy to receive some information. To keep this comment from getting too long, I'll just end by saying how thrilled I am with this amazing layout. Are there more videos of this model railroad ? Model railroading greetings from Cologne, Germany. Reiner 🙂

As a new member of modeling 2.5 inch scale there’s a lot that I need to learn. Brakes is definitely on my list.

Awesome interview thanks for your continued content

Thanks

LGB 1:22.5 is the best. Popular but expensive.

That was a fascinating bit of information about dual gauge Ys. Congrats to Doug on a fine layout.

Thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and layout. Regarding the Laker freighter: US Navy Armed Guard personnel would have embarked on US-flagged Merchant Marine-crewed ships during World War II for self defense on the gun mounts against U-boats or surface raiders. US Coast Guard was well-occupied in other duties, such as Port Security, domestic harbor defense, surface patrols, lighthouses, lightships, navigational aids, buoy tenders and law enforcement. US Navy History and Heritage Command can provide additional information for those interested.

Love to see the live steam engines. Don’t find the diesel replicas that interesting. Thanks for bringing this to us.

Cool to see trains so close to home

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. ❤

learn how to run a steam train, brakes? sight glass.. um, ya I don't run trains on other peoples RR's. I break stuff , and I see a run away happening.. OH BOY

that is quite the look out over the cliff. this is going to be a nice series for you, field trips are always fun.

What’s the minimum radius curve? Their own website doesn’t even say.

Thank you. It’s always fun to watch “where is John this time?”

The CSX car is B&O, not C&O as you stated.

With all the Tangent 86 footers I did get a few Class One Thrall 86 footers for variety from the first run but I'm not sure how many more 86 footers I can fit on my layout.

No conspicuity markings on these cars, so pre-2007?

Super nice door detail

Never heard of this brand class one looks like they do very good detail John thank you for the review

I was first to like. Two more liked before typed reply. Love your channel.

James, I had no idea. I mean I knew you were talented but wow. Should have come as no surprise I suppose. Loved every bit of it.

Nice Video! As a model RRer who lives in Sedona, I approve the shirt James had on!

This is what the Rio Grande was all about ! Great layout and fabulous rocks. Love those GP30's.

Whats that steam loco over there

Any idea how I can get a Utah Railway in orange livery? I have the gray but I like the orange a lot. I have no artistic skill and can't make my own.

the pink foam for the bottom footings of the trestle is a good idea that I will do because the rotting thing is what has prevented me from making my trestles. Have a lot of raised track.

Very nice

i REMEMBER WHEN THEY WERE NEW i BOUGHT 3 THANKS FOR THE REVIEW

Bonjour Très beau réseau et bravo pour tout ce travail ! Compliments depuis la France!

Very nice and practical layout. I like the sound features

I like it !

Woww fantastic railway sir . I wish I could have something like that. From you uk 🇬🇧

The rock work is superb. Lovely layout. Are you sure the wife's happy about it 😅

The attention to detail and the rocks are just fascinating. What an incredible railroad.

Negotiations to get some land rights. hilarious we’ve all been there

I've driven that section from SLC to Grand Junction so many times in the past 30 years! Your modeling is superb! I love the canyon work you've done!

Very interesting to see what goes into making the models. Thanks for sharing. Very happy with the product and wish you all continued success.

Thank you for sharing, you did an excellent job on the rock exposures.

You didn't take off any points for the couplers not being the correct height. You're slipping John.

Great video

wOOO-WOOOO!

Absolute DREAM pike! Top execution ! Colors and textures are spot on! Rocks are perfect!
