Layout Tour/Bob Prehoda's Beautiful HO Scale Model RR

[@georgesullivan5711]

Too cool.....I really enjoyed listening to him again and I envy the train display. Very nice to see Mr. Prehoda! 5th Grade 1979....I always remember our desks being set with our backs to him and I may have been reprimanded a few times, lol. Anyway that crew of teachers at Sickman Elementary were the best! miss those days

WOW! Bob was my 6th grade math teacher over 30 years ago! I has the pleasure of operating this railroad once as a youngster! Great video and RR looks as great as ever Bob!

[@bobprehoda4478]

Thanks for the nice comment. Great hearing from you Jim, contact me at [e-mail]

[@kellygordon103]

Hey Jim. I think I was in his class with you.

[@13thBear]

One of the nicest, sceniced and operated RR on KZbin. The many model RR's are usually incomplete, toy-like and just run around a loop. No attempt at operation. Excellent work!

[@bobprehoda4478]

Thanks for the nice comments on my railroad. I love the operating sessions, don't do much on the scenery anymore!

[@bobprehoda4478]

Nice hearing from you George, and I still remember you!! You were a good kid and I hope you are doing well!!

[@williamschlenger1518]

Beautiful layout.Great job on scenery 👍👍

[@suelinerr]

Excellent layout and video. Thanks for sharing.

[@jimmybraum942]

I've run on it countless times. Great layout

[@bradfordgordon6552]

Hi Bob, how are you? Thanks for coming by the CFRRM club yesterday in Orlando. It was real pleasure talking to you. Your layout is very beautiful and I noticed your using NCE. I liked those 2 - Fairbanks Morse H24-66's in the staging area yard. I would love to run my switchers in those yards. Thanks

[@1bearven]

Great Job Bob.

[@ACRR46]

Very nice layout. Great video tour.

[@PhotoTraxx]

Wonderful layout, operations look fun too. Great music to boot!.

[@jrcrawford4]

Beautiful layout and really good explanation of some model rr operations principles (such as staging yards, car cards, etc.). Thanks!

[@bobprehoda4478]

Thanks, glad that you were able to get some useful information from my video.

[@TheSteamChannel]

Nice video and beautiful layout!

Your HO Scale Model RR is BEAUTIFUL

[@charlize841]

"It is a moderate size railroad" (its in a room just slightly larger than your house.) lol. For one just starting out, it is just overwhelming. My railroad is going to be 5 x 2 and will have one turnout, service one industry. But with this, I can learn how to build a building, do landscaping, wiring, make trees, and roads, and a stream, how to weather. Conceptualize how to 'run' a railroad. At every point I am going to take a picture of the model with the sole purpose of having it look like the real thing. Until I can accomplish this on a 5 x 2, I'm wasting time and money on anything larger. Still, I look at railroads like this one in awe, and for inspiration.

[@mpeterll]

For one just starting out, that's a very realistic way to look at things. I suspect that with your attitude towards the hobby, you will enjoy it for a long time. Wanting too much too early is an easy way to get disillusioned and lose interest. Post some progress reports from time to time and ask for comments. That way you can get more experienced model railroaders' input.

[@bobprehoda4478]

Don't be discouraged, I started 50 years ago with a small layout that was 4 x 6 feet. I learned everything related to construction, doing scenery, weathering and train operations from reading Model Railroader magazine.

[@MrOldCrow]

wow, this must be the most hardcore model rail I have ever seen...

[@88123z]

beautiful - do you create all the landscapes and buildings yourself?

[@Siryn]

Awesome layout! I also loved the music! :)

[@bigfourroad]

Very nice operation and good job on the video but I could not hear the trains for the music.

[@mikeggg5671]

I LOVE the layout - but I would have preferred no sound as well - I wanted to hear the locomotives

[@charlize841]

+matt m I turned it off.

[@angicolon2445]

Awesome!

[@hapiestar7164]

If it's at all relevant. I enjoyed the music.

[@BNSFNorthwestDivisionNScale]

Thank you. That's nice to hear.

[@waterfordrs22]

I'd rather hear the sound of the room than Billy Idol. Nice layout.

[@kenworthcustomlogisticstru8096]

Is your train layout ho scale or n scale

[@bobprehoda8767]

The layout is HO Scale

[@tracyriddle2010]

Be nice if the music was deleted.

[@sharkheadism]

Uh oh 8:27 run-through switch

[@billfusionenterprise]

14:27 as well

[@TheChewie38]

Billy Idol was a NICE touch

[@misfitsandi3730]

Billy idol and trains dont mix sorry, it would have been nice to hear the trains. nice vid tho.

[@TheChewie38]

You realize the trains are models right ?

[@memadmax69]

Some of them have sound...

[@ojsefg]

That sounds super complicated. Why can’t you just turn it on and let it run?

[@davidcurtis5398]

Love the road in al ways. Hate the music. How about RR related music??? Better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@billconserva1461]

The music is not needed! Basically it SUCKS, to be used with a video like this.

[@andyevans9369]

Bill Conserva ah, lighten up on the music bitchin' I have always had music playing during every train session since the 60s. But I'm sure YOUR videos are perfectly produced.....oh, you don't have any?
