REALISTIC BNSF/UP Trains Over Tehachapi (HO Scale) - La Mesa Model RR Club

[@TheBowassassin]

being a engineer for 14 years for CSX on the CV sub I can say this is the most realistic looking and sounding model I have ever seen keep up the good work

[@wolfgang548]

+travis hensley Model manufacturers are getting so good at what they're producing today that if they make them any more realistic companies will rely on models like these instead of the real ones. LOL.

[@dollin9515]

the sounds are imported from real life they aren't the models themselves and you can tell because of the wind sounds not being possible in a building

[@DatTrainGuyProductions]

Yeah and HO scale wheels don't squeal like that

[@whiteknightcat]

This has got to be some of the best audio effects I've ever heard on model equipment before, and I've heard several.

[@michaelsullivan3581]

Outstanding! I could watch hours of this! The shots, the sound, all of it... great job!

[@JasontheFolf]

I like the weathering affects

[@sebradfield]

I've seen several models of the Tehachapi Loop, and thanks to the close-up shooting and the sounds this one is by far the best. Watching this is better than looking a the model itself.

[@HiVoltish]

That is just the most amazing layout ever!

[@TrainLordJC]

Amazing! Superb artwork on the backdrop. I wish I had the talent to do the backdrop at our club layout like that. The real sounds are fantastic.

[@jeffcarr7771]

beautiful layout! Nicely done. I live in Bakersfield and have driven to most of the legal roads to watch the trains. My buddy has a house/ranch in Caliente right across from the tracks, great viewing spot, plus its cool to walk over and talk with the crews while there waiting for trains coming down from the loop.

[@saidbakr]

Sound effects are so great! specially, those related to the movement over the track.

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Outstanding video! Those weathered engines look amazing!

[@InvertLogic]

Looks prototypical. very beautiful! I also wanted to do N scale but ended up doing 2 x 4 N scale. this hobby is great.

[@daltonbelcher5510]

Oh my god. No words. Simply amazing.

[@bnsfnortherncalitrains6684]

wow! That's a really good video. love the sounds you add to the video.

[@CTK1201]

Man...I felt like I was really looking at the real thing. This is absolutely Superb!

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Great rail fanning of the layout. The sound editing was top notch making it more entertaining. Loved every minute of it. The layout sure has amazing scenes.

[@daviddurbin808]

Awesome video Josh! That is a huge place and layout. Thanks for sharing!

[@markhayes6407]

this layout has always been superb but adding the sound effects has made it even more so. Very nice video.

[@DF6254]

Great HO Rail fanning video.Awesome layout and models, thanks for uploading Josh.

[@randypiasecki4161]

Very nice video! Great track side shots of the trains. Great job on editing sound into the video! Randy

[@TheChicagoL]

The prototypical searchlight signal detailing and functionality truly adds to the realism of the appearance and sound of this layout. I honestly don't think there are many model layout videos that can match this one. At 5:48, the RED over GREEN indication matches with the way the points are set for a diverging movement......absolutely MARVELOUS!!!!

[@iatif1995]

Holy crap! I clicked this without reading the title and I'm like: Wow these are nice catches! And thought it was real.

[@meleekegarrett5017]

That's a excellent layout everything looked perfect

[@aidan285]

I gotta know where these sound effects came from and how you matched them so well, this is amazing!

[@dallindavis7905]

i'd be really bummed out if these consists were going a hundred miles an hour with all these awesome curves and what, good job on making all this realistic!! thanks for post

[@wolfgang548]

+Dallin Davis I've notice that's what some modelers do. They operate them in an unrealistic manner.

[@TransTaey]

Dallin Davis, if I recall, the highest speed limit on the La Mesa line is 40, and dips down to 15.

[@csxmodeller1]

Great video, i enjoyed watching it so look forward to your next production. Regards Greg

[@longrider50]

Nice video. Keep-em coming. You had a bunch of great shots.

[@sparky107107]

nice layout , real detail to the scenery , nice op video thanks for sharing

[@DarkTerritory71]

I really enjoyed the view standing by the Blue locomotive in the middle of the video when the two had the meet! Great video! Thanks!

[@Amtrak90222]

+Mark Turner That was a CSX SD70MAC

[@austin_McAdams]

+John Robinson actually an ES44AH.

[@DarkTerritory71]

Really doesn't matter. Just making a comment about the scene in the video. It really made for a great watch/view. I think people make to big of a deal out of counting a rivet. Everyone is capable of making a mistake, and I never had anyone to give me one red cent, because I could look at a loco and tell them what it was. But thanks for the comments. God bless you both.

[@Amtrak90222]

Austin McAdams I couldn't tell, my first guess was a CSX ES44AC/DC/AH... It was hard to see.

[@DarkTerritory71]

Guys. Don't take this too seriously. You will kill the fun. Doesn't matter if it was a pump cart. It was a great video.

[@kenc4240]

Absolutly awsome !!!!! Everything About It!!!!

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

please do run by shots of the entire trains, I would love to see how long they are and how many cars they have.

[@motorTranz]

Absolutely stunning 😍 Thank you!

[@thairatcatcher]

superb video, realistic speeds, excellent weathering *****

[@3006USMC]

Added to favorites.... Shared with many!

[@MultiMusicianman]

Great footage.

[@fjwp573]

Impressive! Realistic speeds, smooth curves. Well done. Hope to visit once.

[@sydneymyers1019]

[@renel.2548]

Great, greetings from Germany

[@BrooklynPerson30000]

wow the aging looks perfect, and this is my favorite model train video because you are the first i've seen to put graffiti on at 1:43

[@azcharlie2009]

So cool! I can't believe that amounts of money some of you guys spend on this hobby!! When I first saw the BNSF line in central New Mexico, I thought I had to have a model train set up like that. HA! I can't afford even a few cars like those! Lets' see... 3 HO locomotives, almost $1, 000! Each car of rolling stock, about $30 - $50! It might be cheaper to buy Berkshire Hathaway stock instead.

[@wolfgang548]

As always Josh has done an outstanding job.

[@cichlidman559]

Straight awesome!!!

[@sonnydean3187]

The audio dubbing is fantastic!

[@justinvoelker99]

Awesome Video Jason loved the dubed sound!!

[@zaezaespencer9768]

Justin Voelker 1

[@artkemberling7764]

Love seeing the NS unit!

[@swayteca]

Are you using Paragon 2 or 3, the sound package is OUTRAGEOUS!

[@terrymcfarland886]

The CSX unit on the head end is a nice touch

[@nostromosolo7957]

great video, but would of been nice to see longer clips of some of the engines

[@azmike4202]

Excellent video of an awesome layout

[@AdvancedApproachVideosLLC]

Absolutely Amazing

[@Tiredoldchannel]

2:10 love that shot

[@AmtrakTBL]

Great video!

[@Grainexpress]

Oh you had to ruin Tehachapi by putting that NS crap in at the 8:08 mark. ;) Excellent video angles and sound! They really nailed the scenery and track bed. Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@KRAZYKUZTOMS]

Grainexpress Norfolk southern baby!!!

[@70humdinger94]

Not unusual for foreign power to show up on a railroad. Either the NS unit was borrowed from them (UP needed extra power) or the unit is being used to pay back for a UP unit used on NS turf. Hours of usage have to be equalized.

[@MBTAMoreRailfan]

Grainexpress NS RULES

[@stuartsherman5975]

I love the realistic sound effects. I'm new to the hobby, can you tell me your sound setup and point me to any resources for me to add this to my HO layout? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[@markhayes6407]

Just really COOL!

[@bobgilray8308]

Great video. Thanks!

[@geraldratte9254]

love the realistic sound effects and layout, have you thought about adding Cajun pass to it

[@cboisits]

Incredible!

[@shaunchisholm11]

Fantastic video!

[@doug383]

Wow outstanding !

[@sheilakirby949]

AWESOME LOOKS SO REAL VERY NICE

[@cw7784]

is the sound the locomotive sound installed when you operate it. or is it a recording of a real locomotive then played while you operate your locomotives

[@andyjackson3127]

Did you guys also have Santa Fe Ry redo your tunnel portals for the double stack trains? >)

[@ericthered1140]

So glad to be a railroader....GoUP

[@wyb80]

Fantastic!👍🏼👌🏽

[@RailfanDaniel1997]

Nice video, Josh!

[@cw7784]

awesome video

[@ColoradooscaleOrg]

Very fabulous

[@TheSupradude26]

This is my favorite layout that I've ever seen. Question, about how many cars are needed for the train to pass over itself on the layout vs the real life loop? Thanks!

[@austin_McAdams]

TheSupradude26 about 40 cars in model and 50 in real life.

[@johnredinger5537]

Is that a soundtraxx decoder in the locos?

[@DarkHorseI]

Very authentic!

[@TheNomadicRailfan]

Amazing video!!!!

[@russellalder3123]

like them sounds one section y'all got birds chirping were they real?

[@robertm.guernsey5603]

I can't wait until I build my H.O. Train LAYOUT. I have eight big boxes of new train gear.

[@cw7784]

Is it an earthquake at 2:19 ? lol

[@wolfgang548]

+Clinton Wurzbach I'd say about a 2.1.

[@CarmineRC]

Well, it IS Southern California!!! :P

[@cw7784]

Lol

[@timkronenberger9994]

Clinton Wurzbach 9

[@jesusmadrigal9648]

What do you use for the sound

[@SMOBY44]

Great vide, great shots. Only thing I saw that stood out as unrealistic is the complete lack of graffiti. Can't get away from it in the real world.

[@samschaeffer8236]

I saw at least 2 spots with graffiti, on a BNSF GEVO at 1:45, and on some box cars at 4:20.

[@DariusBell732]

awesome vid! also man u should get a instagram

[@jonnerztube]

Excellent video, looks quite realistic. One tiny critique, a tripod instead of handheld. 100% otherwise.

[@gandalfthegrey7874]

That one locomotive had graffiti on it. 😂 Way to keep it as realistic as possible. Lol

[@sappy4happy448]

I saw that too! I was wondering how painful a decision it was to do that while also admiring the realism. Some of the weathered locos also looked freakin awesome.

[@russellebnet6715]

nice video

[@willlinsoniii6091]

NICE!!

Fake! Or, in this case, real! That is a real train moving through southern Quebec, north of the Saint Lawrence Seaway. I am not fooled!
