it's a nice video i just hvae one thing to say about when he was talking about the Super C it was train 891 & 189 not 991 & 199.

Im very surprised that anyone would attempt to build Oahu sugar cane layout. I was raised on Maui. Always loving trains, I was kind of shocked at how the culture had completely erased any trace of the cane r.r. only at one crossing did i find the old rails in the concrete. Then in the 80s the tourist board actually buiilt a rail lime from Lahaina to Kaanapali. It was in service hauling tourists for about decade.

Incredible layout. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

A great video 😃👍

Another train show that goes too slow. Try track speed please.

What a setting. Wow.

Very fine layouts, museum quality! Alas sometimes ruined by trains doing a ridiculous 80 mph. These narrow gaugers are a real time machine into the past.

Why is the cab on the Alco sitting up off the platform?

Concerning all those automobile carriers at the beginning of this video: according to local news about 450,000 automobiles are shipped into San Diego every year. Thanks to the ports of LA/Long Beach being over crowded.

What is all that equipment hanging under combine 212? ✌

Hi Jim how are you doing today? It,s been a long time since I was at your house. I think it,s been about 8 years ago. I do hope you are doing well too. From Neil schwerdt in west valley city Utah.😊

Imagine the movie night at the museum but it was here

Did state belt operate entirely without cabooses?

I love the layout! Plus the collection!

This was awesome to watch, sad i couldn't be there!

A Kodachrome unit in 70's?

Some of these models are incredible. I'm also really interested in modular layouts so it's great to see them done in other scales than HO. The modular scene hasn't really taken off here which has been a shame. Seems like a great idea.

Thanks for the nice report! It was a pleasure hosting!

Great video! Hate that screechy whistle! Man, that’s high pitched!!! Great job on your production. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

Please tell the engineer that's running that train he's breaking way too many knuckles as he's hitting those cars way too hard. Lol....

Man. This layout is so realistic, it's very inspiring!!! Some of those shots look absolutely real. Your GP 7/9 looks and sounds fantastic.

To bad you cant keep them loud mouth inconsiderate people from talikg. It ruins the whole video

@12:00 The eastbound climb is actually compressed only by half~30` HO scale per mile, according to former museum director/La Mesa club member John Rotsart. The section from the top down to Mojave is considerably more shortened. One other interesting factoid: While the real Tehachapi grade is 2.5%, the club had to decrease it to 2%...lest the mainline run all the way up to and even through the ceiling (!) and it's about a 20' ceiling. Great choice too to skip the middle scenery and jump ahead to the loop. The original (La Mesa/Northern & Gulf) club guys are aging, and that gives them a chance to see the "signature spot" before they have to 'move on to other things.' I hope they all get to (or got to) see it.

No Freaking way!!! My Friend Kirk Henderson is in this video!!! at 2:41

That first train is not a manifest train. It is a unit train. It was only autoracks.

Would have loved to see some proper Amtrak trains for the 70's session. Some late 70's TOFC would be cool too. The TOFC shown appeared to be early 70's and had a lot of the old Athearn PFE trailers painted for many schemes. The club had to run what they had tho.

This layout is always a pleasure to watch on YT. Hopefully I'll manage to see it in person one day. Some of those F units have a fair amount of dust on the - you can see where it has accumulated around details except where handling has removed it.

That actual train had the quietest wheels I've ever heard. Not one flat spot! Is the scale operation HO?

Cool i like ho trains nd show

Remids me of childhood. So much S.P. and Santa Fe back then.I actually got to go on a ride along with the crew of a local up in Carpinteria to Goleta to lumber drop. Thrill of a life to ride in a bouncing F 7. Thanks Bradley. Little League coaching haf its perks.😂.

😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩

I'm impressed by the PFE train with 47 cars and two helpers in the middle. Most layouts seem to think that 10 is enough cars to run a train.

In my 60+ years of model railroading I believe the La Mesa Club's layout is the finest execution of prototype model railroading in the world. I visited the club several times in the 80's , 90s and 2000s and even had the honor of running a few trains. The life's work of an outstanding group of top shelf modelers and builders. Sadly, many no longer with us. I very much appreciate your good video and it is refreshing to see a new generation of modelers stepping up. Thanks very much!

Very very nice video

I'd expect you to get more grief for the double stacks than the passenger trains :-)

Cool layout 👍👍👍. Is this O scale, HO scale or O scale 2 track?

This layout is most unfortunately compressed at a ratio of 3:5 which explains the absurd height to width relationships (1:1 ...which is impossible) as is visible on the "hills". Using a threefoot rule, Rick Fisher dimensionally proved that statement correct by measuring all at at Ilmon.... a number of decades ago! The entire "Great Mistake" would have looked far more plausible, believable or simply truly realistic had DFW and AFA not gone "curve for curve" but instead selected specific scenes modelled to actual scale, and also compressed (or deleted) the in-between connections of those scenes thereby keeping the same available floor space. ----But WHAT DO I KNOW!?

Correction. The 3888 on the stock train. Is a 2-10-2. NOT A 2-8-2

Very nice.

Great video 👍 thanks for sharing, I just you would have stayed a little longer on one spot you were moving to fast,😊

This layout needs photo backdrops.

Either fast mail number 7 or 8

It can't be the 50's it has BN and NS on it.

27:26 That exact combine still exists too, it worked regularly on the Sacramento Daylight until a streamlined combine replaced it around '61. The car has been beautifully restored at Niles Canyon into its 1920's Pullman Green appearance.

At 4:56 it's actually a Santa Fe Type 2-10-2, not a 4-8-2.

Great video!

Some day when I grow up I wanna be Adam!

I grew up in Cloverdale, the tracks were practically in my back yard. 2 blocks from the old RR station in Cloverdale. Walked thru the tunnels many times as a kid.

I saw this in a magazine once!!!😃
