Excellent layout and two thumbs up for the video work.

This is narrow gauge on the grand scale, showing what mountain railroading really is ! Sober but gorgeous scenery .

[@mytdck1]

I love the fact that most trains seem to be running at prototype speed; no slow motion trying to make the scenery seem bigger than what it is here!

[@rhealsabourin5650]

Prototype speed? Beg to differ with you on that. As an O scaler narrow gauger those trains were running way to fast. Mountain railroading is a slow, plodding affair. Even modern trains take it easy.

Terrific layout and wonderful video!

[@williamschlenger1518]

Amazing layout.

[@elleryparsons5766]

AMAZING !!! Thanks for sharing !!!!

Wonderful video! The two remnants of the old Rio Grande narrow gauge empire, the Durango and Silverton, and the Cumbres and Toltec, are relatively near me here in Colorado, and I have enjoyed many trips on both railroads over the past 40 years. Your layout and video tributes to the incomparable John Armstrong are truly inspiring. You have captured the mystique of the historic Colorado narrow gauge genre and the rugged beauty of the San Juans very skillfully. I hope to see more videos as the layout progresses. I gently suggest that you have someone with local experience and topical knowledge proofread and edit your captions. Examples: "Chama" not "Charma", "Gunnison" not "Punnison", etc. Also idiomatic usage dictates that trains are "crossing" a bridge, not "passing" it. There are other examples, but you get the idea. Naming a village "Nophire" is linguistically clever. It made me smile! Well done! You are a master modeler and a skilled video Grapher. Gleich Gesund!

Great Video and great content keep up the great work my friend thanks for sharing it with us enjoyed watching your video

[@louisfavre04]

The layout is built in O Scale. The gauge is On3. No special effect lense has been used. The layout uses available space generously

[@joeweider4896]

AMAZING

[@Mercatoyd]

very nice..

[@404BOOMER]

I like the fire in the firebox underneath. How was that done with the flickering.

[@JSVideoUTube]

the ZIMO and Tsunami decoders used have a feature to set the mode for each Function output. Firebox flicker is one of them. A high intensity red LED is connected to one of the Function outputs and the mode set to firebox flicker. JSVideo for On3 Trainbuffs

Magnificent! Ausgezeichnet! Aber wo ist "Punnison?" Did you mean "Gunnison?"

[@JSVideoUTube]

The Layout was designed by John Armstrong as a free lance prototype. So all the names used are similar to actual names Punnison, Charma, Nophire etc.. JSVideo for On3 Trainbuffs

[@leoceta2127]

Hello, what brand is the K-27 locomotive?

[@JSVideoUTube]

the are MMI modified with Faulhaber motors, ZIMO or Tsunami decoders and LED. JSVideo for On3 Trainbuffs

[@rhbeadlejr]

"at the helm"?

[@germanshepherd13]

why does it look like deer antlers above the light..

[@andyevans9369]

germanshepherd13 because that is what they are, quite common addition in those days

[@rhbeadlejr]

They are on backwards!

[@jamieprater3398]

Does anyone know what code track this is? It looks fantastic.

[@JSVideoUTube]

Code 100. JSVideo for On3 Trainbuffs

Layout and trains are awesome, but trains are running to fast, slow them down.
