Narrow Gauge Model Railroad, one of the best you will ever see.

[@johnwoodall3791]

This is truly amazing railway modelling, I can't get over the brilliant attention to detail on these layouts, I look at the buildings and bridges and I am in awe of these people and what fantastic Videography as well to show us these delightful layouts in such closeness and detail, Superb stuff.

[@barrysmith8193]

I keep coming back to this layout for the amazing representation of forest floor litter and clutter. Excellent presentation. Mine is a small yet highly detailed logging layout. Only 4’x8’ and is movable on wheels, tipped up it will go through a 2’4” door opening when removed off the wheeled frame. I’ve seen way too many excellent workmanships that have to be destroyed to get it out of the building. Thanks for this posting.

[@tonyromano6220]

4’ x 8’ to this level of detail is amazing in my book!

[@MartinLong-y1b]

I have enjoyed your video and it really helps me with my recovery from my brain tumour and stroke as I try to get back to my modelling I mention my illness so you know who is watching and why thank you 😂

[@tonyromano6220]

I wish you well.

[@thekingsservant1104]

I can not begin to comprehend the commitment something like this requires. Absolutely stunning!

[@rogerking7258]

Wonderful. There is just one thing missing to complete the illusion, and that is to film it in natural daylight, but that's probably not an option.

[@davidorr8682]

This is excellent! Hats off to the owner and to the presenter! If my layout is 1/10th as good as this, I'll be really pleased!

SImply stunning! When I read the title my thought was this is just a "lets get as many clicks as possible" ploy but upon viewing I am in solid agreement. I, as I'm sure many others am captivated by the late Geoff Knott's work and this is right up there with it! Thanks for sharing. Love the "hundreds of tree's concept"! Will be revisiting this vid many times for inspiration for my own project.

that scenery and those trestles are amazing and so are the sound effects of the birds etc.

[@faronf2006]

WOW , simply Amazing the skills that some modelers have . Between the realism & the sounds , it makes the viewer seem like there are actually there . Could watch over & over , so much detail . Love those old Steam Locomotives . Thanks for sharing .

[@frankgiunto3600]

The most beautiful layout I have ever seen

[@MrWestburyiii]

I had to watch this video full screen then watch it again... It reminded me of the time I spent in Tuolumne ... No trains.. but the tracks were there to guide the imagination of a young man.. Great work.. top to bottom... Now to watch it again..

[@Tracksidemodelrailroading]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Marcikutyaful]

Really, this is one of the best!

[@ralphmiller2620]

People who build train layouts with this level of detail are nothing short of being master artists!! I wish I could do this. I am good, but this is a whole different level. Absolutely incredible. Thanks guys so much for sharing.

wow top notch as usual excellent craftsmanship complements from canada,

[@Dug6666666]

Stunning modelling. What really sells it were others lose out is how steady the train moves, giving a real sense of weight and inertia.

[@muss1951]

You boys down under just kill me. Its like you guys went into the past shot a video of a day on the railroad came back to our time and posted that video. You guys leave nothing un done, the engine sounds, the scenery, the over all everything, is just mind blowing. You people have inspired me from the first time I found one of your video. This is absolutely as perfect as you can have it. Job beautifully done, THX

A really outstandig sample of great 'Waldbahn'.

An excellent video. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. ♡ T.E.N.

[@jackwright2495]

Absolutely incredible!

[@dougvalmore7389]

Beautiful modeling, exquisite use of sound effects (not just trains sounds but birds, chain saw, etc) & above all camera work that does not spoil the realism! Most videographers never heard of a tripod or slow dissolves.Other aspects worth noting are eye-level views, great depth of field & not shooting "off set". Outstanding work by all!

[@davidzamora4423]

I love all the soinds. The birds chirping.

Great work. So many details and realism. . it takes you back to a slower paced day. Thanks.

Just stunning I am in awe and envy .

[@jeanneuzarhudson8207]

I am only about ten minutes into this and what I have seen and heard is stunning. You know the modeling is fine when you cannot discern what scale it is. The sounds of the Shays you use, I have that recording and I play it while my big Bachman Shays on my layout. My wife, profile photo, knows when I am in railroad heaven when she hears them Shays grinding and hammering away on what was the Cass lumber company.

The scenery is so well done that in the initial shot I thought maybe this was a garden RR. Ronn

[@nathandeal9703]

Now all the scene needs is for the engine to smoke, and maybe some dialog with the crew.

I was able to see this layout at the Narrow Gauge Convention in Seattle a few years ago.

Awesome!

Love the layout, and the fact u used audio from cass

[@neilstephen6761]

A superb layout

[@muss1951]

I think the biggest problem with this layout is, its not in my basement, other wise it is truly one of the most realistic I have seen. I am like you I love thick forest and yours is so real looking, I am so awed by the trees you make. Do you have a video on the tree? The turntable bridge and your buildings are a perfect stress look right on money I love this layout thanks for sharing

Well, I think the title of this video is accurate!!! Amazing!!!

American narrow gaugers really do set the top mark that's for sure!-Amazing work.

[@robyntaylor6596]

This was built by an Australian modeller

[@fuzzcopter467]

Australia is just the deepest part of the American south.

[@Tracksidemodelrailroading]

@@robyntaylor6596 Hi Robyn, credit can not be made to Australia this time. This layout was built in my home town of Spokane WA, in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. It was crafted by a few very talented modelers in the basement of our local hobby shop for a train show in Seattle WA. There are some amazingly talented people in the USA too, we have filmed over 200 layouts just in the Pacific Northwest alone.

[@robyntaylor6596]

@@Tracksidemodelrailroading sorry, my mistake it looks similar to a layout called Leigh Creek. Wonderful modelling and a credit to those involved in its construction.

[@gregsmith1719]

Very nice. I've seen this many times. Very nice. But, I wish the focus was on and the sound was synchronized. All the best!

We agree, this was some of our earliest work and we didn't have the lighting and video gear we have today to make the shoot better.

[@vwbugracer]

Was the sound part of the layout or added in after? In any case it sounds amazing. The whistles sound like Cass Scenic whistles.

[@Tracksidemodelrailroading]

All sounds were dubbed in using sounds from a few different prototypes.

[@thatonetrainguy864]

What monster puts the cool side of the shay out of view??

I'm curious, what scale/gauge is this. I certainly runs very smoothly.

Why didn't you name the model railroad? This is Hangman Creek Lumber Company, for those wondering. Built by Jess Dozier, Jim Smith, Stan Oxendahl and Tom Jennings

just WOW.. 😊😊😊😊 from which manufacturer are the log car..??

[@Tracksidemodelrailroading]

Not sure, I know Jess casts a lot of parts so he may had made them.

[@steamrocks]

Are you sure this is all narrow gauge? At 0:39, you show a Climax with Walcharets valve gear. I believe this was only incorporated into the standard gauge Climax locos. Until 1915, all Climax Locomotives used the Stephenson valve gear. At this time it was replaced by the Walschaerts valve gear on all sizes of forty-five tons and larger. I do not believe there were any forty-five ton Climaxes built for narrow gauge. I would be very happy to be wrong because I freelanced a small narrow gauge Climax in G scale live steam with Walcharets valve gear and would love to find a prototype matching it.

Maybe it’s me but the sound of the locomotive seems to be out of sync with its speed.
