Superb On30 Model Railroad Layout “Mara Harbor” by Martin Welberg

[@TheUAVpilot]

Some of the best aged woodwork I have seen.

[@WHJeffB]

Absolutely stunning! Goes to show what a talented modeler can do with off the shelf rolling stock, locomotives and track. The scenery and structures are fantastic! Truly inspirational...

[@elnabjelland-hughes8172]

Fantastic layout ! So realistic it’s hard do you believe it’s a model train layout ! The detail is exceptional the grass , the buildings, the boats in the water and the people-amazing! 😁💕

[@applicareinc]

Your attention to capturing detail is wonderful.

[@muss1951]

You did a remarkable job on everything, especially the shrubs, the weathering, your little people, very well done

[@gregcoates4305]

Wow what a awesome layout. The detail is amazing and the way you were able to photograph the scenes was simply beautiful

[@BootsShamrock]

Beautiful layout. I love the weathering of the buildings and the work on the grasses were amazing. Another great find. Thank you 🙂

[@raymondrussell500]

Landscaping is fantastic on this layout.

[@JamesWillmus]

I was watching the forum thread this railroad was posted on as Martin built the line, it looked spectacular!

[@lwilton]

Wow! That is an amazingly well detailed layout!

[@ewoodrailway]

What a fabulous layout

[@ewoodrailway]

Lovely detailing, thanks for sharing

[@Bruno.Trains]

Quelle merveille. Tout le décor est très beau, très soigné !

[@normbass1695]

Very nice, Great scenery and weathering on the buildings.

[@virmico1]

Well done. Very Frary & Hayden "Thatcher's Inlet".

[@jeff9104]

Great stuff, incredible detail !

[@lescobrandon3047]

Top notch figurines and scenery. Thanks to Bachmanntrains, narrow gauge O Scale has boomed. I would love to see and hear this layout without the crowd sounds which would probably require permission to visit when no crowd was there.

[@lifeisagift.cherisheverymoment]

I agree. The video, the layout, the modeling and everything else about this presentation was excellent. The background noise was completely distracting and very annoying. Very sad for an otherwise "professional" attempt.

[@SimonTog]

Really great video of Mara Harbor

[@TNRailProductions_01]

Really like it!! It was funny to me when I saw that the valve gear on the 4-4-0 was stuck😂 but they layout looked awesome

[@CreativeRails]

Beautiful Layout!

[@williamdickman7917]

Nice layout, especially the scenery and structures! One thing...if you want realistic US operational look include cabooses on the trains.

[@jrtrains1126]

That was great! I enjoyed your video and trains. Thank you.

[@gordonrobbins5843]

Thank you. God bless ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@durrainsnow8455]

Wow that's neat

[@SammyBFilms]

Gorgeous railway! :-)

[@jimharbour5775]

nice layout

[@MineMountModels]

Beautiful scenery and rolling stock. Just a couple hiccups in the track.

[@lescobrandon3047]

Yes, but prototype NG was not always perfectly built or maintained. Narrow gauge was popular because it was cheaper.

[@jockellis]

Heck, I’ve seen some modern shortlines that you would think had derailments daily.

[@Milosz_Ostrow]

I like the working turntable at 2:35, but, unfortunately, the video cut at 3:04 did not show it rotating with the engine and tender. I was thinking it was electrically controlled remotely, but perhaps not. It might be a job for a microstepper motor and a microprocessor to provide smooth acceleration and deceleration, reasonable angular speed, and precise stopping when the tracks are aligned - a tricky problem, indeed. Moreover, how was the power for the locomotive transmitted to the turntable rails?

[@pilentum]

Hello Milosz! Please, take a look at www.martinwelberg.nl and ask Martin about the turntable.

[@gerardrenoul1271]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤magnifique,bravo❤❤❤

[@TrainsandDioramas]

Amazing railroad and a wonderful cover!

[@mrhearse777]

This would be sensational , except that there are engines with no-one on the footplate ! I know it's nit-picking , but the rest of the layout is exquisite . It's just a detail which lets down the overall impression.

[@sspence65]

Details amazing. Background noise is unfortunate.

[@SaxonIVKGames]

Fantastic!

[@emelydayanajahuirapinazo2260]

Me encantó el vídeo está muy bonito el paisaje 😊😃

[@guillermocruz2440]

I don’t think the Chuffs are quite accurate, but what an exquisite layout!

[@gilheuss7830]

Your engine # 18 apparently is a wood burner from the load of wood in the tender. Why isn't there a spark arrester stack on it? Out standing video though.

[@thomasforest3681]

Fantastic layout, just wished someone would teach him how to adjust the chuff .

[@igorgavrilov8140]

Интересно и поучительно!

[@lescobrandon3047]

No 300 scale mph switchers? Awesome.

[@carmium]

For something eight metres long, I wish we could have seen more of it!

[@skeets6060]

I wish someone would do these videos when there was not a thousand people making noise

[@Ban_miki]

森林鉄道 （woodrailroad）good！！

[@RRIA_America]

4:48 does anyone know what sound module that is?

[@lescobrandon3047]

Most of those locos seem to sound like how they are sold by Bachmann. There may be at least one that sounds like Wow sound.

[@jeanbonnefoy1377]

A really nice layout, sadly part of its poetry is totally wasted by the background noise... You really should use a directional mike when filming those modules at toys or railway modelling fairs...

[@pilentum]

The best microphone in the world does not help if there are 100 visitors behind the camera :-(

[@billluxford9353]

A nocely done layout with people all around but none in the loco cabs. Why? The locos demand populating too.

[@markframe7027]

Me like very much Right on

[@АлиАлекперов-ж9в]

👍👍👍👍👍😁😀🌹

[@rhbeadlejr]

Those boats weren't tied to the docks! 😁

[@alialekperov1003]

😁👍👍👍👌👌👌😊🌹

[@williamdickman7917]

Very nice start to an American style model however some critiques; American trains of the era modeled would have a caboose or waycar on the end if the train, boats would have been tied to eachother and then a dock, there would be fishing nets and buoys around all over the waterfront, locomotives would have engineers and firemen in the cabs, poles and phone/electrical lines should be in evidence in this era, handbills and adverts would be anywhere that they could be nailed up, cast off junk and trash should be seen in appropriate areas. Signage advertising the business in a building would be displayed plus smaller window adverts would be normal, groups of drums and barrels should be seen in various places, used tires and other cast off items from automobiles would be normal in areas. These are things, as an American, are noticeably missing from a typical American scene. Collections of junked parts, sea birds, and trash, as well as railway personnel really make a difference in making a believable scene. There are a few of these in evidence but not near enough to be representative of American depression era scenes.

[@phil36310]

A faint à la Troels Kirk Coastal RR. It completely misses an 'atmosphere'. Cold

[@dennisschell5543]

Track dirty? Loco jerky... 🤔

[@pilentum]

...yes!

[@steffenrosmus9177]

Superb layout impression is darkened by the poor performance of the Bachmann engines st slow speed

[@JimHeil-sf8dc]

way too much back ground noise spoiled the video

[@ioanekirarahu951]

Beautiful layout, and wonderful work. It is just a terrible shame that it isn't done in On3 instead of On30. 30 in gauge was terribly rare in the old American west, whereas 36 in gauge was by far the most common. Ever considering widening to 36" gauge? People go to great lengths to have historical authenticity, but then ignore something as glaring as the correct gauge. Too bad.

[@MrMarkusloos]

Das Gelabere im Hintergrund finde ich immer Schlimm. Macht die ganze Atmosphäre kaputt.

[@pilentum]

Keine Frage, da hast Du absolut Recht. Aber was soll ich machen? Es ist ja eine große Messe mit tausenden von Besuchern. Und eine extra Tonspur zu hinterlegen, scheitert daran, dass ich kein Audio-Archiv von US-amerikanischen Lokomotiven besitze.

[@MrMarkusloos]

@@pilentum Die Bildqualität ist Umwerfend und das das Wichtigste.
