Best video ever brings me back memories! 😊

[@v12productions]

Thanks for the comment! My layout is freelanced, so I basically draw my inspiration from whatever peaks my interest. Whether it be the elevated railroads of Chicago or New York, streetcars in Philadelphia or more mountainous terrain in places like W. Virginia. Also, in this video, I drew inspiration from Germany in the architecture of the station. My layout is 109.5 square feet. Thank you for watching!

[@wingsmumbo4643]

this is great but can u make the trains a lil dirty and leaking water

[@dimidomo7946]

Absolute eye candy! Great video skills along with realistic scenery, sound and trains, etc. Wow, what an impressive system and your skill-set is second to none. Thanks, I've bookmarked this upload.

[@yungjj5884]

used to watch these all the time when I was like 6-7 years old

use to watch them when i was like 8 or 9 o_o

[@NC_YT_123]

Same here!

[@brandontylerproductions2202]

Me too!

[@v12productions]

The platform section is kitbashed from parts made by various manufacturers. The area where the tracks sit is made by Faller, and came in a kit for making a German elevated station. The platforms themselves were cut out of styrene, and the platform shelters came from a Walthers kit. Each platform is surrounded by highway fencing made by Faller. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

[@WhiteRiverRails]

That is one of the coolest layouts and station!! I love how you animated the cars and the time of day. And all your wonderful camera angles!! It looked so real. This is one of my favorite ho videos. Amazing job!!

[@v12productions]

BNSFguy 617 Thanks, I really appreciate that!

[@TrainsNStuff]

It did look real, forgot to mention that.

[@mjarail]

Your station is such a change from the usual "shoebox next to the tracks" style station.

[@novelyo]

Liked your video, the mix of motion, sound, and lights. Very nice elevated station. Liked your Amtrak NE Corridor HHP8, and train, along with the other trains.

[@zhiracs]

I am beyond impressed by the quality of this video--it's almost cinematic. Rarely do I see this much effort put into one video--even the frickin' CARS move! And I'm equally impressed by the impressiveness of your layout and trains. Superb job! ...Is there any chance of a behind-the-scenes video?

[@v12productions]

Thanks! If you want to see how I shoot my videos check out ""Heritage Through the Eras" Behind the Scenes HD" and "Operating the Layout HD." I may post some more behind the scenes stuff soon.

[@v12productions]

Thanks for the positive feedback, I really appreciate it!

[@v12productions]

Thanks! I got most of my inspiration for the project from German S-Bahn stations, and from stations in New York.

[@v12productions]

Thank you! I did the automobile shots using 1:18 scale cars moving over top of a green screen that I keyed out while editing.

Hey budd I love the layout!

A very nicely-done job. Though I've been a confirmed rail nut from a very young age, I'm still a relative newbie when it comes to model railroading.

I really like your city scene. A lot of videos that ive seen have been too cluttered but yours is just right! and I love the Heinz plant you have

Thanks!! Those sound like good models to ask for for Christmas!

[@HotShotDesigns3D]

I finally found this video after 6 years!

[@v12productions]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@v12productions]

Thanks!! Yeah, I looked at a few of your videos, you've got some great Amtrak heritage equipment!

[@Boohpoop]

This is the neatest thing Ive seen in a lo g time. Its beautiful! Thanls for sharing.

Is this a real train

[@prorobo]

I always enjoy your vids and this is no exception! Great stuff.

[@v12productions]

That's awesome, I'm glad I could provide some inspiration for your layout!

[@v12productions]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@jlwii2000]

nice vid. what do you use to make the camera so smoothly?

[@haroldalexis4200]

This layout is fantastic! Half the fleets i am viewing I own AMTRAK BI LEVEL PASSENGER COACH BY KATO, HHP -8 BY BACHMANN F 40 PH anyones guess they're are so many of them except ATHEARN who've manufactured them. This is the first HO scale elevated layout that looks extremely realistic. The vast majority of elevated platforms are on KATO N scale. Great videos part 1 & part 2 👍👍✅⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@v12productions]

Thanks!

[@akwesi100]

Excellent editing.

[@floppaeditz123]

This video was my childhood, i vividily remember thinking the added cgi cars were real and telling my dad how i wanted to add my own...

[@v12productions]

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

[@alandvaemergencyresponses2883]

I used to watch this when I was little

[@v12productions]

Thanks! For most of the shots that had movement in this video I used a jib arm, which is basically a small camera crane. For more basic shots (pan & tilt), I use a tripod with a fluid head.

[@v12productions]

Thanks!

[@georgeferrer23]

love that over pass with the station platform.

[@v12productions]

Thanks!

[@CaseysTrains]

I like your station, it gives me ideas for my layout. If it had catenary it'll pass for a Philadelphia station. (Im modeling SEPTA). Btw, I love your BCTA Commuter Train! I love it when people put their own commuter rails on their layout. I got one called Bridgerissa Commuter, already painted a F59PHI for it. I'm at lost for what I'll uses as Coaches.

[@v12productions]

Haha, yes it is. Thanks for watching!

[@v12productions]

Most of the models in the video do have sound decoders, but I did add locomotive sound effects to those that did not.

[@trainboy45]

Excellent video. Really good sound as well.

[@irelandbloke]

Very impressive !

[@v12productions]

Thanks!

[@v12productions]

Yeah, I use the Digitrax Zephyr which allows me to operate DC trains and DCC trains simultaneously.

[@zedaanagha6525]

Great video, man! I love how you have the nice variety of trains!

[@v12productions]

Thanks!

[@v12productions]

Thanks, I made it myself from various kit parts.

[@suelinerr]

Excellent work. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!

[@Gleiswanderer]

Cool, I came here, because I'm looking for a second, differnt type of elevated Station (Faller 119 und 551 and a arched sektion without platforms is alread on my layout) and thought, 'Hm let's see what US-manufacturers provide, maybe I can order something from US', and instead, I saw some well knows products from my home country again... Funny. But you have done a great job, to make it looking different.

[@acela2030]

Awsome layout, great station, id love to have one, i've got a prety sizeable amtrak fleet myself, very nice mix of trains. :D

[@ClassIRailroader]

shouldn't it be light at 8:00 am?

[@seberry99]

very professional video, amazing job

[@grits3d]

Beautiful work. The night shots are especially effective. Did you use a steadicam, or fix the shake in post? The camerawork, esp. the depth of field, really adds to the realism.

[@LRF152]

First clip, my first though, "Amtrak, on time? This isn't realistic at all!" Hahaha, nice models in all seriousness.

[@v12productions]

I never put a decoder in it so I just have it showing red lights since I mainly run the train with the locomotive leading.

Kirito Kirigasha It's fictional. I based the paint scheme on the old New Haven colors.

beautiful

[@CIRCUS1944]

The video was excellent. I was just wondering were you got your inspiration from. I saw lots of different railroads from all over the country in your video. Was the layout entirely freelance or did you have a general area that intrigued you? I myself have a freelance railroad but I have a geographical location I like as far a scenery. Just wondering. Also how large is your layout?

[@mostwantedjames]

This is awesome!

[@NorfolkSouthernES44AC]

Great video!!

[@Zeffers716]

Excellent Video! Liked and Favorited!

[@v12productions]

Thanks!

[@chrislareau7460]

The reason why Amtrak is late sometimes is because they have to make way for freight trains who are given first priority over the railroad tracks

[@TheUPmodeler]

Are the trains in this video equipped with sound or did you play real train sounds over them?

[@ronaldhowell7427]

This cannot be the only part of your layout. Would like to see the whole layout.

[@sunrayuk]

really cool man you should check out the faller car system, then you can have cars that actually move :)

[@Sirsammy345]

How did you make that station? It all looks amazing but I'd just like to know about the platform part of it; I don't plan on making mine elevated.

[@UPES2018]

Who makes those Amfleet cars? Did they come with the red markers or did you install those yourself?

[@v12productions]

They're made by Bachmann and have the red markers and interior lighting installed from the factory.

[@Dan-lf6bo]

+V12 Productions some come with knuckle couplers right? (BTW LOVE THE DCC SOUND AND THE QUALITY!!!)

[@v12productions]

Thanks! I think they do.

[@BobFierro]

I really like the production side of the video. But where did you find cars that drive by themselves? LOL. Nice job!!

[@v12productions]

+Bob Fierro Thanks! Yeah, I used a green screen to put the moving cars into the video.

Is this a 4x8 or a 10 x12 layout? I was trying to figure it out by the video but couldn't really tell.

[@v12productions]

+Jeffery Murray It's around 10 x 12. It's L shaped though.

[@kernanhosea2024]

love it how do the cars move an how many ft of track do have. K
