Tour one of the best garage sized model railroads ever built 5 of 5

[@davidcowan4705]

I like how he creates the sound of the screeching flanges of the wheels in turns.

[@JungleYT]

This gentleman reminds me of the old Model Railroad pros from the 1970s, when the hobby was still thriving...

[@BrewPub]

Amazingly realistic. The opening scene could easily be mistaken for the real thing.

[@krisdesaedeleer4357]

Absolutely right, is amasing real

[@normg2242]

What blows me away the most is the incredibly well-done background art!

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

The super elevated curves and trackwork is excellent.

[@Shelvington_Railway]

Amazing! So realistic. The sky effect is brilliant! Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Andy

[@jbw9999]

What a nice guy. And a very nice looking layout!

[@sernajrlouis]

The beginning of the video had to look close. Looks so real. Cool video

[@adriengadson3544]

This video came up again in my feeds. Listening watching and listening to the background sounds really sale the scenes on this layout.

[@sierrahobbys1883]

Amazing layout and great with the sound effects and ambient sounds. 👏👏

[@micnorton9487]

Yeah those sound effects are almost surreal while you're looking at a model railroad... Guy's like the Michaelangelo of model railroading,, give him a gymnasium and $250 grand and make the 5th wonder of the world set...

[@Tracksidemodelrailroading]

@@micnorton9487 This made me laugh! I'll let Mike know!

[@monsvillerailways5736]

Well done. Very impressive. Stay on the tracks 👍

[@markarnold8160]

That's a great layout. The soundtrack really helps it come alive.

[@jacksanzone_]

Paved roads look fantastic

[@albertofranchi6408]

GREAT WORK...,THE SOUNDS OF FREIGHT CARS AND BIRDS FANTASTIC👍🏻👍🏻

[@hartmutlorentzen9659]

Very nice layout, great sounds, Thanks for presentation, from Germany

[@kenweidemoyer2221]

Wow and thanks it looks real.

[@jasonrackawack9369]

The colors and lighting make the scenes look like photographs 😮

[@edwardmiessner6502]

This guy is good! That first shot was so realistic I was fooled into thinking it was prototype! The rest of the scenes were just as realistic but I couldn't get fooled again. This is the perfect layout!

[@simpleman8937]

Beautiful attention to detail, I don't know what it is about the world of miniatures, but we can't help loving it ! Excellent workmanship

[@michaelwray1034]

Utterly fantastic and you remind me of jimmy stewart.. 👍

[@simpleman8937]

The detail is truly monumental !!!

[@markhayes6407]

[@Gfysimpletons]

C’mon……..killin me here…..bravo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@stevenikitas8170]

Excellent detailing...

[@swiv99]

sweet layout, the natural light and sound fx really sets this off...well done.

[@geordieceltic2]

Some of those video shots look like real life web cams. It is good to hear from the modellers. Great video and railway, thank you.

[@georgejackson2255]

Absolutely amazing. When I first watched this, I actually thought it was real. The attention to detail is outstanding a real labour of love.. can’t wait to show the grandkids 😊 keep up the good work and videos.

[@mikelehkamp7827]

Sounds are amazingly real!!!!

[@dv7057]

Nicely done,,thanks for sharing,,,😊

[@tracksidemike]

Wow that’s amazing layout thanks for sharing new here 😎 Have a great day and enjoy 🚂 TSM

[@samuelplew5630]

Great stuff! Very realistic layout (I don’t say that much). Loved the in focus low down views, looked just like my spot for a roll by…22 years-I know what it looks like well. Rail color was bang on, at least where I am. Some of the car weathering was shockingly good(adm car, tanks), pipeload was fantastic.

[@Pkilznah]

Great layout and video 🚂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Tracksidemodelrailroading]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Bruno.Trains]

wonderful video, Greetings from France

[@johnwoodall3791]

Great Layout, Really well Detailed as I think someone has said. Beautifully Designed and Built. Really great Video and Narative. Respectfully.

[@davidg813]

That's a beautiful set up it looks so real the only thing missing is the hobo on one of the trains and Graffiti On the boxcars

[@randyj6245]

Nice layout

[@gerlandkent6377]

[im. in to the same hobby. I, own a 2 story house and I've got every bed rm. upstairs filled up with HO scale model railroad. I, love the hobby]👍

[@gerlandkent6377]

thank, you

[@jimkammerer5240]

AWESOME GOOD VIDEO THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH ME JIM KAMMERER OF PHILADELPHIA PA 👌 😀

[@marcelichgebedochhiernicht8079]

Thanks for this great layout compilation! I‘m getting more and more interested to build after finishing my Swiss layout a US layout!

[@JamesCox-py9on]

very nice!

[@Tracksidemodelrailroading]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@robertmadison2752]

Nice sound editing!

[@Tracksidemodelrailroading]

Thanks Robert, Glad you think so!

[@shellysmith1037]

yes it is .....

[@BRIANumber7-RCandModels]

Very nice! I like the realistic sound dub, just like I do with my stuff.

[@Tracksidemodelrailroading]

Really enjoyed your UP train in the snow.

[@BRIANumber7-RCandModels]

@@Tracksidemodelrailroading Thanks! I liked how close to the real thing this layout you featured was

[@ghoster3078]

And yours are so amazing!

[@robertfish6617]

Bonzer Mate!!

[@marcosbortoletto7192]

Fantástico.....!!!

[@rrrrrrtt1]

Wow! :)

[@deltaray3]

Where are the birds flying around? This is amazing.

[@mikegross6107]

I'd like to see it POV some day; possible?

[@bjlanc]

Where does the brake squeal and sounds of grinding while the cars go by come from? The sound of cars like that is missing so much to me now on my set!

[@roaringleo57]

Are the wheels creaking over the rails sound effect in the box car or how does that work?

[@simpleman8937]

I would string some across the phone poles, it would create even more realism !

[@simpleman8937]

Measure the length. Between the poles, utilize model cement to glaze the string, put the weight droop to the string let it dry, then attach it between the poles and it will have the necessary glaze to the wires and add to the realism !!!

[@simpleman8937]

It's an old movie trick.

[@simpleman8937]

Black thread works wonders on giving the illusion of phone pole wires..

[@glenbard657]

Very neat. My only criticism is that the handrail on Santa Fe 3332 is bashed inward.

[@Tracksidemodelrailroading]

Didn't notice that ;) good eye!

[@carpenterabc]

since you got so much beautiful detail here...I did want to mention that the car parked near the railroad crossing has an expired sticker, just wanted to warn you so it doesn't get a ticket!!!

[@thomast8539]

Mike doing his best Jimmy Stewart impersonation as he describes his layout. Unintentionally, of course, but his voice does subtly echo Jimmy.

[@jeffreywhite4962]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@michlo3393]

1:24 You wouldn't be able to put the Santa Fe unit 2nd out on that train as there would be no way to run the HEP to the cars.

[@Tracksidemodelrailroading]

Lol, you are right! Good catch!

[@michaelhband]

👍👍👍❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂

[@diegohorton869]

More graffiti on the cars and it’ll be perfect. I see it every day at work.

[@robertcornelius3514]

Not very realistic. I didn't see one Homeless encampment.

[@Tracksidemodelrailroading]

Well at the time frame he's modeling that wasn't like it is today.

[@jovetj]

LOL!

[@ScratchGlass9]

Fantastic 🇺🇲

[@halhenryg]

Absolute amassing detail patina! Only thing missing is the graffiti on the unites.

[@j.s.hutchens7623]

Even the black tank car was bulged and sagging a little in the middle like the real thing. I noticed there are not a lot of 'mannequin' people and animals seemingly frozen in time while the trains pass by. OK for still pics but not so good for videos.

[@glennhofstetter9409]

Why don't the modelers make the track "Not Bumpy"? The jittering that the box cars show ruin the entire effect.

[@aureol40012]

Urgh, I hate dubbed model railway footage.
