Amtrak - California Zephyr on the Mojave Sub in HO Scale - Layout Update 2021

[@bencashman1017]

Not that great? Your scenery is some of the best HO scenery that I’ve seen! I wish you would please please PLEASE do a tutorial on your desert scenery (ground surface textures, colors, desert vegetation, etc). I’m looking to do a similar southwestern desert theme with oil pump jacks, shallow washes like you have created here, and things like that. Also curious: is there a reason why you prefer to not weather your rolling stock? Just wasn’t sure if that was a personal preference, something you haven’t had time to do, etc?

[@coffeebuzzard]

Great detail - lots of hard work there. Well done!

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Thank you very much🌟 If I only would have more time….

[@markdeschane4467]

Very nice and spot on! I live in Minnesota, on the eastern end of the BNSF railroad although not the Mojave Desert. Your Amtrak and BNSF equipment looks great going through your scener5y!

[@daveb.trains7019]

Wow, beautiful trains on a beautifully scenicked layout! Do you plan on adding a photo backdrop to further enhance the excellent scenery?

[@SimSummer]

bro this guy is taking video of real railways and acting like they are models, cringe,

[@bruceskehan251]

Very nice…..Thanks for sharing. B

[@justinelnicky2498]

Excellent work on the scenery. I haven't seen a more convincing Mojave sub. Keep up the good work.

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Oh wow - your comment sounds amazing🔆⭐️ Thank you very much🔝

[@redbarnz]

The wind is a significant element of this successful recreation. It gets quite windy in the desert!

[@jamesherring4480]

Beautiful layout, nice prototypical train opération, great sound. 👍

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Thank you for your amazing comment⭐️🌟🔆💫🔝🔝

[@LoneRanger5150]

Love this!! Such an incredible job!! I love the curve out of the tunnel. Now, I need to work on my fascia lol

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Thank you Thomas🙂 If I only would have more time….

Great to see a video again! The work is exceptional per usual! What track are you using?

[@shorty9055]

Stunning scenery. Would love to see more of this layout

[@Orionneb]

That modelling is A grade ..congrats to the person who did the desert bridge part.

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Thank you very much for your comment- I appreciate it 💫🙏😇

[@sandysmithvideos228]

Desert scenery seems simple but VERY difficult to do right, this is some of the best I have ever seen.

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Thank you very much🙏😇💫

[@redbarnz]

Exceptional!

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Thank you🙂

[@AmtrakFanatic]

This layout is absolutely beautiful! Where is this?

[@Denniss7420]

"....my layout is not that great". Man, it looks Great! What color is the blue paint on the walls - it is a perfect sky blue.

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Thank you very much Dennis🔝

[@virmico1]

Stunning....

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Thank you🔝

[@firvedamodels]

Parabéns. Essa maquete é do caralho. 🤜🤛

[@bertcresta6685]

Those Amtrak P42s are Kato units, if I’m not mistaken , correct?..how do you like them?..cars are also Kato, again if I’m not mistaken. Great video!

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

You are right 💫 Everything here you can see is Kato. Well, the Genesis locos are ok, not that detailed but they run great - even in dcc when one decoder is controlling two motors of one engine…💫

[@bertcresta6685]

@@BNSFUPRailroader …good to know. I always wondered how they ran since they have two individual motors per engine. Thank you for the response! I think Kato still makes the best chassis out there. 👏👏👏

[@Orionneb]

Hi , i have the Kato Ho scale superliners , they are the best ..They all have interiors and the quality is amazing ..lighting them up is easy with the Kato lighting Kits 7-504

[@richardstuart6226]

Absolutely Awesome layout! Please do many more videos than you have been!!!!

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Thank you - and as soon as I will find more time, there will be new videos. The problem is, that I can only show you parts of the layout you already knew very well….I have to finish the Mojave Desert scenery first before I try to make a real new video…. People ask me to do a new tutorial video…. Well, I would like to produce it, but I NEED more time…. Best regards, Volker

[@jalbhagwagar3353]

Just too good 👌🏼. It’s crazy. Please keep posting. Thank you very much.

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Thank you and I will try to post more videos on KZbin😌

[@brtree74]

Brilliant work. The new Mojave scenery sections look amazing. Awesome trains and incredibly realistic scenery.

Wow - thank you very much for your kind comment🙂🌟⭐️🔆💫🔝

[@brentnicol6391]

I have about 12 powered diesel locomotive and 6 stem locomotives. Got no idea how many wagons and other things I have. Wanted to build myself a good layout but never got that far. Will do so soon and watching videos like this just makes me want to do it. Thank you for sharing.

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

You are welcome - thank you for your amazing comment🌟🔆🔝

[@derekalexander4030]

I have subscribed with the hope that you will release videos more often. Are you on a different platform or just don’t post that often? You are very talented and have an incredible ability for scenery. Do you have a track plan and where are you located? Looking forward to more.

[@ianroberts6929]

Ganz toll, die neuen Szenen und auch schoen, was neues von dir zu sehen! Darf ich Fragen: wer ist der Hersteller von den Amtrak-Modellen? Kato etwa, od. vielleicht Athearn? Auf jeden Fall die sehen ja super aus! Mit Gruss aus England, Ian

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Hallo Ian, danke für Deinen tollen Kommentar😇 Ja, die Wagen und die Loks sind alle von Kato. Die Genesis P42 Lokomotiven habe ich nachträglich digitalisiert. Viele Grüße nach England, Volker

Fantastic video. I'm very happy that I stumbled onto it. Immediately subbed. Not only does your layout look magnificent. But your filming and editing, it just looks professional. The lighting, the sound, radio chatter . . . great stuff.

[@jeffschultz4715]

What did you use for your bushes there???

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

The bushes and trees are all “scratch built”….

[@jeffschultz4715]

@@BNSFUPRailroader that's a lot of work. I just use Woodland scenics bushes
