BNSF FALL RIVER DIVISION PT III May 2017 Ops

[@m.m.truehart9363]

Thank you. The amount of detail and professional features in your layout is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing your passion with us.

[@arthurhouston3]

It is not my Layout John Parker is the owner. My Layout is the Grande Pacific Railroad. I have had privilege of operating on the BNSF Fall river division. and shot the video.

[@mrmax128]

This Mid-West type of layout is exactly what I see when I see trains there! Fall River has given me many good ideas and concepts. I would love to do an ops on this layout some day

[@nkimakowich]

Fantastic to watch this series, sir. The best part of following the coal run as you are in the video here, is the gradual scenery change from the plant to the mine. So great.

[@joejoebus8814]

This layout is a modelers masterpiece. Can never get enough.

[@JoeG-firehousewhiskey]

That rail train is impressive! Great series thanks for the video.

[@yrunaked4]

video starts with the barf bonnet in the lead, awesome, I managed to see that unit irl a few times

[@michaelchristensen6884]

I always called it the vomit bonnet

[@Tom.Gregory]

Great works, art, any videos of the other layouts you operated on during the event?

[@arthurhouston3]

Yes two more to follow one is the Granite Mountain

[@txrrguy1492]

Nice Video of a Beautiful model railroad. However, I would have the author under investigation for violations of appropriate and legal sounding of the horn. Horns used extensively where there were no known crossings and as well not blown appropriately through several grade crossings that were not protected. This can all be resolved at his next GCOR class. LOL! What a great layout, and what wonderful coverage. Thanks to all.

[@ultrametric9317]

Thank you for posting these videos - what a magnificent achievement!!

[@Drennan1]

IMPRESSIVE. Thanks for sharing with us

[@mason395]

Thank you for this video series. Would love to follow another train around next visit.

[@gregoryporter3753]

Greetings guys, I've been YouTubing going on about 2years now. And this is by far the best I've seen. I love trains so much so that if I was to be fortunate to retire. I'd have to really consider moving to wherever you guys are located and join your club. I'm gonna end on this note. Keep doing what you're doing. Take care, over and out.

[@arthurhouston3]

I am in SE Louisiana this Layout is in CO north of Denver. Grande Pacific always looking for new people to come play.

[@19scamps92]

i am soooo glad you did update videos on this layout mr houston! thank you so much! i am totally in love with these layout :)

[@davidhughes4448]

Oh my goodness. This is one magnificent, and apparently huge, model railroad. I am now exiting the hobby.

[@michaelhill5543]

What a great railroad. On your grain facility what colour grey and blue did you use at around at 7:47 into the video. I am building a similar structure and the colours look amazing. I have mine in a sandy primer at present but it does not really work.

[@theubaum]

As usual Art, AWESOME video! More, more! Thanks for sharing....

[@jimsmoter4510]

Love your layout, great video.fun fun

[@chrisshoulders4066]

Awesome video and layout my friend keep them coming.

[@scottphillips5388]

Great layout, it’s really coming along

[@disturbed1954]

Awesome video of a amazing layout!

[@lionellance]

Awesome video.. everything looks so real.. thanks for sharing and keep up the great work... Lance 🚂👍👍👍

[@WeedWhacker2010]

You can never have too many locomotives. I just bought three more......AND about ten boxcars,

[@WeedWhacker2010]

"Loads in, Loads out". WHEN I lived at my home that had a basement?? I was building a layout. Loads in, Loads out. I had a switching yard that was going to be hidden. I cannot re-create this layout. WELL maybe I will try again.......

[@railhunterproductions]

bnsfbuff# thx I love that place I was just in Estes park for a trip I wish the layout was public it incredible

[@Trashman702]

Man that welded rail train. Can we see it in operation ?

[@arthurhouston3]

What you see is what I have if get back up that way in a year or so will make sure to get it moving. May call John and ask him shot a clip with his cell phone.

[@Trashman702]

arthurhouston3 10-4. Thanks for sharing this amazing layout with us that will never get to see it in person.

[@williethomas1999]

For the 7 people that thumb down this video, I’m sorry but you couldn’t possibly even fathom what’s going on here...this model railroad is absolutely superb.

[@arthurhouston3]

Think the seven is about me and jealousy. Never get 100 % . Its a personnel thing with them.

[@ICELupin]

WOW I wish I could run trains there. I'm a big rail fan.

[@Bruno.Trains]

Awesome video.

[@jimsmoter4510]

If I remember right your basement is 3,000 sq ft with 2,700 for the layout , was your house built in mind with a massive layout like that or did you just find a house with a large basement ? At 22:30 or so the rail train ,were those rail cars custom built or did you buy them ?

[@arthurhouston3]

jim smoter he has web site shows the basement before the house was put in top

[@railhunterproductions]

I was just there on vacation wish it was public.

[@bobaroo58]

Beautiful!!

[@grandparails8858]

How long is an OPS session? Is the rail train custom made? Thanks for the video!

[@arthurhouston3]

this one was 4.5 hours think they go a little longer on his personnel sessions. to complete a schedule. This was a Sunday Moring and end to Rocky Ops started at 9 ended at 1:30 I was home in bed in Southeast La. By 2:00AM did not leave Den until 8:50 lost hour going home. time change I live hour form Airport

[@grandparails8858]

Wow and how often do you attend?

[@arthurhouston3]

John Dilley every couple of years this was a $600 weekend I am 1400 miles away. Done it driving its four days. Two extra hotel nights. Flew this time all went great.

[@grandparails8858]

Wow that's a lot of miles. 1400 miles that's half way for me when I go back to WV from Ca.

[@jossdeiboss]

The model is awesome, indescrivible. But you should improve how you take videos: especially with the trembling and the fact that some of the most interesting parts (like, for example, when the unloaded train waits for the loaded one to pass by) are not shown...which is litterally a shame. In any case, the job you did there is awesome!

[@arthurhouston3]

All shot during a very large operations session. Cannot do everything you want to do. Was going back shortly for op session but due to current situation CV19 was all cancelled.

[@jossdeiboss]

@@arthurhouston3 Thank you for your explanation. I can't wait for it! :D

[@mattroberts9569]

To bad there isn't a train club like this in Baytown

[@arthurhouston3]

For long time personnel experience this type of layout could never exist under a club environment. This a 100% private owned layout. It's all about owners vision and direction.

[@railhunterproductions]

I know a basement but were is the place located?

[@bnsfbuff]

North of Denver

[@amtrakpilots8947]

Do they have a track plan?

[@arthurhouston3]

Go to his web site. Www.fallriverdivision.com I think

[@robtman9199]

Not a good link, Art. www.bnsfrr.net/ hope this one works

[@railhunterproductions]

where is that?

[@arthurhouston3]

RailHunter Colorado

[@railhunterproductions]

thx

[@snafu3714]

what the brand diesel you are running

[@arthurhouston3]

John, I personnel do not run or own any Athearn they have two many problems built in and there are too many good ones out there to buy. I run Atlas Intermountain, Kato, Presion, Broadway Limited, Proto Power by Life Like. I buy all with sound and DCC installed. If you can only afford one engine make it a good one. Sell old stuff and get a few good ones. Many of these engines on John Parker Layout are Intermountain. The factory and offices are right by his house and many of the employees play with his RR.

[@davidcurtis5398]

Oh man !!!!! A great railroad, great scenes, great detail work - photographed very poorly...... I wish you could use a tripod like most video people that really care about their viewers would...

[@Tom.Gregory]

David Curtis , using a tripod during an operating session is not only very unpractical it's usually prohibited.

[@alanpollock3363]

Could use a monopode

[@arthurhouston3]

David Curtis no not possiable it would get in the way there 26 people in this space.
