Layout Update 2018 - New Scenery, Rocks and working Grade Crossing Signals

Welcome back to the UPWFOL in 2018. After a long time I will show you some scenery update... - First I am going to show you a new tunnel portal, which I have built from scratch and new rock formations. Than you will see the ground cover of my new desert scenery and in the end I will show you my new grade crossing and a working grade crossing signal made by Details West...
Enjoy the Video!

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Thank you very much for your kind comment 😇🙏💫

[@Kevin-ev7hw]

Great Job on your Layout. People don't think to model those Rock Fences, That is a Cool way that you scratched a Fence. I also like your Grade Crossing.

[@JoeyBPhotography]

Oh man that tunnel portal looks spectacular! Great work

[@jimsmoter4510]

Your layout is looking fantastic. Your attention to detail is amazing. Thanks for the video update Try not to take so long between videos

[@n-scaleunionpacificevansto6569]

Absolutely stunning! I really like your work. You have definitely captured “the feel” of a desert layout. ...Roy

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Hello Roy, thank you for your great comment! I like your N work as well ;-)... Volker

[@SteveJohnson-SD70MAC-747]

Really nice work. The tunnel portal, rock formation, and crossing look very prototypical and real. Great detail in what you've done.

[@jalbhagwagar3353]

Genius! Period! Thank you for posting. Please post the latest.

[@08trader]

[@railfan220]

Great update! Your scenery is impeccable, and it's all progressing nicely. -Cam

[@25mfd]

this is one helluva nice job. the pic of this vid looked REAL. that's why I clicked on it because I though it was a vid of the prototype. really nice job here.

[@QRoutback]

Fantastic work on the tunnel portal and the desert scence

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

[@trainzrailoperations2670]

Nice job that tunnel portal is superb!!

[@ColdCityRailfan]

Absolutely amazing! Looking forward to seeing more.

[@christopherkingsland4604]

Really glorious looking!

[@jacksonrailfan3179]

Amazing work!! I like the trees, maybe even 2 or 3 smaller ones on the top of the portal hill would look great!

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Hello Jackson Railfan, thank you for your comment. You are right - but the scenery isn't finished at all - so more trees are coming soon... ;-) - Volker

[@jarrodjesser1953]

Your layout is amazing. I have used your rock carving techniques on my layout recently and love the results. It really cuts down on the work time. Keep up the good work!

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Thank you so much!!! It makes me glad that you have used my rock carving technique...;-)

[@jefferykeeper8112]

I like the work you have done. great job

[@railvideosbc]

Great work👍 Nice layout

[@wolfgang548]

The scenery is coming out nice. I enjoyed the 2 videos of how you made the rock formations. Looks a little time consuming but the results are worth the effort. And those pine trees near the tunnel portal look great. I'd love to see a how to video on you making one.

[@guyparkerson5437]

WOW, great job, and the quality of your videos are greatly improving! Amazing job with the editing.

[@jerrysmith1929]

[@merrimackvalleyrailroad3657]

Amazing work! Keep the videos coming. :)

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Great progress on the layout

[@MaxSupercars]

Beautiful work! 😊

[@sparky107107]

wow love the details,, rock fences are a big thing in Canada. and yours look great. i have never seen a grade crossing that looks like that, but you show the prototype and ya you got it smack on right. fantastic the wiring looks to be the hard part of all that. thanks for the update.

[@realmagicjon]

Bravo! Thanks for sharing.

[@daveolliemetalhead]

Great work it looks real

[@sdrailproductions]

Nice job, love the details

[@giulius7176]

Looks Amazing!!

[@chriscrawford1958]

I’m just starting to build my very first layout. Will definitely use your “rock” plastering technique. What plaster did you use? Did you ever post a “painting rocks” video?

[@DerrickODea]

Amazing work!

[@peep4evr565]

Haha bin ein alter Schüler von ihnen... rly fantastic channel👌

[@donaldgilbert6739]

Great job!

[@railfan220]

Question: are you planning on doing a backdrop at all? I've honestly considered not doing one because I can't decide if the pros outweigh the cons. -Cam

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Good morning Cam - i have the blue painted backdrop all around the layout. I will not paint scenery or clouds on it. It was a very difficult question for me as well - but in the end it is a question of believe...?!?! I hope that I have answered your question. And by the way - your layout is amazing and your pictures on instagram are fantatic as well ;-) Volker

[@celineschuler2230]

Cool

[@kyliekenyon8944]

WOW! i love the detail work! you ballast is amazing, looks so real. What ballast colors did you use ? Can you tell me what brand, that looks really nice ... thanks so much for sharing :)

[@hdspringer2561]

Das hast Du wirklich super hinbekommen. Ich glaube an Realismus ist das nicht wirklich zu toppen. Wo hast Du die Teile für den Bahnübergang besorgt? Gibt es die auch für gebogene Gleise? Bin schon auf eine weiteres Video gespannt. Dauert dann hoffentlich nicht so lange.

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Hallo Springer, tausend Dank für Dein Lob. Die Teile für den Bahnübergang habe ich direkt bei Atlas bestellt (Atlas vertreibt ja jetzt die ehemalige Produktlinie von BLMA). Ob es auch gebogene Elemente gibt, kann ich Dir leider nicht sagen... Grüße, Volker

[@hdspringer2561]

BNSFUPRailroader Hi Volker, danke für den Tipp, werde mich da mal schlau machen. Gruß Dirk

[@Vman7757]

Love the look of your trees. Did you make them? And if not who makes them?

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

The trees you can see in the video above are made from Anita Decor - all the other trees you can see in the other videos are made by myself.

[@Vman7757]

@@BNSFUPRailroader You should do a video on how you made your trees. And a link on how to get the Anita Decor trees. They are very good. Thanks for sharing. I keep looking for your post. I made my rocks using your instructions. Thank you very much. V

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Hallo Vincent, here comes the link to Anita Decor: www.anitadecor.nl/c-1205040/willkommen-bei-anita-decor/ The guy is a freak coming from the netherlands but he does speak english very well! His Name is Eddie and he is a cool and smart buddy 😊 ‼️ As soon as I will find some time to do more videos, I will do a „how to“ tutorial for scratchbuilding trees... Greetings from Germany, Volker

[@fsk_hrtm]

das sieht echt realistisch aus!!!Ich fand es echt cool wenn du mal zeigen würdest wie du den rest der Landschaft so gestaltest z.B. die wiesen oder das geröll

[@BNSFUPRailroader]

Hallo Felix, tausend Dank für Dein Lob. Ich denke, dass ich ein "Geländebau-Tutorial" demnächst in Angriff nehmen werde. Grüße, Volker

[@fsk_hrtm]

BNSFUPRailroader ja super danke!

[@ChristianBitter]

[@BNSFUPRailroader]
