WOW! I believe you have my number 1 favorite layout. Day time, night time, lightning; animated signs, many trains. What an inspiration. Incredible! That had to take years to build!
@Vaderd2k9266 жыл бұрын
Fabulous layout. Not only is it extremely well done but it sports its own personality. The street running aspect makes it unique. Can you imagine the impact the addition of the Faller Car system would have here? The cityscape and roadways are so well done they’re ideal for at least a partial Faller enhancement.

Very detailed and realistic scene. The 'live' sound of the trains and environment make it really come to life! Love the night scene, with the yellow neon light and the wet streets.

Mr. Smith. That was ABSOLUTELY one of the BEST LOOKING MODEL RAILROADS I've ever seen on YOU TUBE! YOU HAVE A NEW SUBSCRIBER!👍🚂🙂 Videos like yours, make me want to GET BACK INTO MODEL RAILROADING. At 47 years old, I still turn into a 3 year old kid, watching the NORFOLK AND WESTERN roll on the old VIRGINIAN LINE in my HOMETOWN of NORFOLK VIRGINIA. Today living next door in VIRGINIA BEACH, I still LOVE to watch the NORFOLK SOUTHERN coal drags roll in and out of LAMBERTS POINT in NORFOLK, or if I'm in CHESAPEAKE VIRGINIA, watching the STACK TRAINS at PORTLOCK YARD. Anyways, THANK YOU for creating such a WONDERFUL LAYOUT! Time to DUST OFF my NORFOLK SOUTHERN SD40-2's AC44W's and so on, and plan my first layout in YEARS! THUMBS UP, on your MAGNIFICENT CREATION!👍 🚂🇺🇸🙂

This is an amazing layout that I have seen progress in its infrastructure and photographic, audio, and video presentation. This could be any of the five largest urban areas of the U.S.: Chicago, L.A., New York, Washington D.C., and Houston. Very cool. The street scenes remind me of the scenes in the beginning and ending credits of Welcome Back Kotter or the album cover of Shakedown Street by the Grateful Dead.

Hi! I just flew into Knuffingen Airport, I’ve got a 48 hour layover while maintenance repairs the jack screw for the elevators on the FedEx A300. What’s fun to do while we’re here? Who knows when we’ll see another stretch of down time this long again! BTW and FYI: One hour of regular human time equals two hours of miniature time! So this time tomorrow we will have had two days here in mini-city, while in your world it’s been one day. Don’t think about it too much, it’ll keep you awake at night!

Amazing realism and scale of the buildings. This is the best, modern, "big city" I've seen; very realistic. But, I think there would be more neon and lighted signs at night but that's a very minor criticism. It certainly gives the "atmosphere" of a big city. The sound effects add realism, too. Very well done!

Cool layout I think I’m going to do something similar but have the septa el train as my mainline with trolley cars on the streets below , I have to ride the el from bridge and Pratt and take pictures of the stations , buildings, and street layouts below . I wish I could do it from memory because I would like to capture the 1980’s when I lived near the Allegheny ave stop but I was only 9 years old in the mid 1980’s so I don’t remember much but if I do enough research I’m sure I can come up with enough material to get the general look of the era.

Thank you for posting. I will be replaying a few times.
