Today I'm in Chicago on 12-15-17 and sharing the Garfield Clarendon Model Railroad Club that is celebrating their 70th year anniversary.
I’m speaking with President of the Club Dan Gould as he shares details of the layout.
Every area on the layout is complete. The engines, cars, scenery on the layout are of the highest quality, and many items are custom and hand built.
This is just a wonderful experience to view.
The Garfield-Clarenden Model RR Club Operations is located at 4501 N Clarendon Ave, Chicago, IL 60640 and for further details go to www.garfieldcentral.org
Enjoy.

Hi Aaron, Happy to read you enjoy this layout :-) Good news! Here is a link to a playlist I created of model train layouts & trains for you to enjoy, Lou ruclips.net/p/PLkoIzmOYXcchOyKhEHn_2-NqjpNFq64U3
@@loucostabile Thanks a lot.
My Mind blown away by the railroad
Happy to read you enjoy this layout :-)
My dad worked for the Milwaukee Road from the late 50s until it's demise. I love that you have the new Hiawatha train. I grew up in Hampshire, IL which was on the Omaha main line. I used to watch the Cities Of Denver and San Francisco every day whisk by my back yard. I only remember the UP yellow paint scheme. Great layout.
Hi John W, Thank you for viewing and sharing your wonderful memories :-) I've created a playlist of trains for you to enjoy, and here is the link, Lou ruclips.net/p/PLkoIzmOYXcchOyKhEHn_2-NqjpNFq64U3
I love the long passenger trains & the CNJ represented.Most layouts only cover the big railroads.
Happy to read you love the passenger trains.
I visited a traditional model railway store in the town of Landshut, Germany earlier this week. I spent a good half hour there, not only looking at the models, but also remembering the many hours I spent building models when I was a young boy. The store was packed and, I’m afraid to say, I was probably the youngest visitor. I’m 51. What was once a popular hobby amongst young boys has now become a pastime for older men. This is a real shame because building models teaches many things; patience, attention to detail and skills in researching to name only three. All have stood me in good stead building my career. To the video. I enjoyed watching the locomotives running at scale speed and background soundtrack,
Anorak fact : railway “ties“ are called “sleepers” in England.
Hi Andrew Graham, You're right, some wonderful memories with the trains. Did not know the ties are called "sleepers", thank you for the tip, Lou
Very well planned & great track work & rolling stock. Absolutely fantastic.

Glad you finally got around to interviewing a fellow who could explain the layout.
:-)
Wow! All hand laid track! That is major commitment!
Glad you enjoy the details and hard work on this layout Phil Rade, Lou
GREATINGS from Venezuela, thanks for showing always the passing of the trains on the bridges and tunnels. (It is a BIG BOY working the way?, GREAT) . That's a nice big town with. cable car. Mr Costabile you do an EXCELLENT on this video.
Hi Mr. Grillet from Venezuela, Enjoy reading the details you see on this layout :-) Appreciate the kind words on this video, Lou

I love the train layout vids! This was very cool! Love seeing the trains n my favorite is hearing the whistles... I just love that! Makes me smile!! So many little details to enjoy, takes time to see it all... I love all the signs and billboards, such fun to see... The old Pepsi sign on the store is very neat! It looks so realistic with all the trees n buildings, even hideaway cabins, and under bridges, and just makes you feel like you've visited, and had a bit of a ride with the sound n sights.... I love it, great fun! Thank you!
Hi WickedFireFly13, "Makes you feel like you've been there" I like that :-) Thank you for sharing outstanding details, and you're welcome, Lou
wickedfirefly13 ah
For me, the greatest advance in model railroading was introduction of DCC sound. And I’ve been in modeling trains since the 1960’s.
I lean therefore toward what I remember most as a kid in the 1950’s, the sound of a steam locomotive, especially the whistles. To me, diesels always seemed like buses with the diesel smells, the horn sounds, etc. Steam here on Long Island was also the pounding of the ground as a train approached, the beautiful sound of the whistle at a grade crossing, then the aroma of coal smoke.
wickedfirefly13
You should make your own
This may be my favorite video yet of Lous.
Thank you for the kind words Doc Hogan. Have you see some of the other model RR's? Like this one? Enjoy, Lou ruclips.net/video/cvyRTdNsQSE/видео.html

Incredible Layout Billy LI N.Y.
Happy to read you enjoy this layout :-)
Really looks nice, a lot different from when I was a member there, back in 1997 thru 2001.
Glad you enjoy the looks of this one, and hope it brought back nice memories, Lou
This layout is NUTS!!!! I wish you would focus on the trains a little more! I love how you capture the layout, but would like to see the same amount of love on the trains moving or not moving just to really showcase what's on the layout!
Hi Cody Seybold, GOOD NEWS! Here is a playlist I've created for you of trains where I focus on LOTS OF TRAINS! Enjoy! Lou ruclips.net/p/PLkoIzmOYXcchOyKhEHn_2-NqjpNFq64U3
I agree with the others who have commented on the camera work...slow down and stop darting around from here to there in quick succession. Let the trains in and of themselves be the movement. Getting your camera on a tripod will help you to achieve slowing down as well. I am not trying to be picky, just some advice for a better video . The better your videography work the more enjoyable will be the experience not just for you but everyone else. It is a great layout and just love that hand laid track...brings back lots of memories of the past for me when I did that. Much more realistic and can be made closer to the real thing. Pity (at least for my sake) there had not been a few more seconds of video showing close-up shots of those great turnouts! Having said all that, many thanks for your effort for without it I would never have been able to see it! Fan from Down-Under.
Hi Fan from Down-Under, Good news! Here is a link to a playlist I created of model train layouts & trains for you to enjoy, Lou ruclips.net/p/PLkoIzmOYXcchOyKhEHn_2-NqjpNFq64U3
Don't move the camera so quickly. I am sure it is a nice model railroad but I'm getting seasick.
:-0 Thanks for the tip.
Ive lived here all my life and never knew this place existed. Great video Lou, i'll have to look into this place now.
Hi mercenary454, Glad you enjoyed the video :-) I'm sure you're going to enjoy your visit, Lou
so speed ! we have'nt time to see !
:-(
Simply Superb !!! Bravo!! Gretting from France !!!
Hi RAILsIMAGES from the US :-) Glad you thought this layout is "Simply Superb !!!" :-) Lou
Camera back and forth- we get a great overview and interesting enough we learn what the visitor will be looking at. More importantly though: since this hobby is right in the community center of a troubled city: does the YOUNG generation show interest? Is this place being promoted? It is a great idea allowing the action in this center.
HI Thomas Wilhelm, Glad to share the layout with you. Here is a playlist of trains I've put together for you to enjoy, Lou ruclips.net/p/PLkoIzmOYXcchOyKhEHn_2-NqjpNFq64U3

Hello Lou, thanks for the link, i'll look , into my channel every 3 days in exchange, german trains in nature, and then model train, i build trains in model from the original, german trains, east german trains, europe trains 'You can subscribe me, and you can see everything about model train in Germany , best regards Harry
You have some fun train videos too :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing.
Its hard to watch as you stop on a scene and your camera tries to focus but you move away to something else. I have several of the same buildings you have so thank you for some modeling ideas.
Hi david barrera, Unfortunately as a Partner on RUclips I get a 1/2 hour to video, and with a layout this size, I do the best I can to feature an area and move to the next and get it all in in a 1/2 hour. Many times I'll do a 1 of 2 & 2 of 2, or an "extended cut" but did not have that time on this one. Glad you were able to get some ideas. If you'd like to see all the model RR layouts, type into RUclips search "Lou Costabile trains" and the videos should come right up, Lou
@@loucostabile Better to do the layout in several parts than to have to look at this trash.

Hi Irfan Khan, Sounds like your Friends Dad had a fun layout too :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and adding to the story, Lou
Hi guys. Question. I have 315 ft of track with 3 mains on the layout. 12x20 do you think I need a power booster. Have NCE power cab.
Hi Joseph Franceshetti, I have no idea, however hopefully a Viewer can share knowledge, Lou
Love it. Have my own modelrail name KLEINBAHN from Austria.
Glad you "love it". I'm sure you're having fun on your railway too.
Yes I have.Lou

exelente gracias y compartido
Hi Vito Bertaubeau, Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Lou
Have to wonder how many Clarendon Park taxpayers know they are footing the bill for these guys to play with their toy trains (see mercenary 454). The cost of building the venue pales in comparison to the cost of maintaining the place. Seems hard to believe, but stuff like this tends to escape public scrutiny. Now, I gotta know: if this is truly for the community, can I walk in and put my hand on the throttle?
Not many Taxpayer know. No you can't, unless you're polite :-)
Way too much camera movement.
Hi Dennis, I checked out your Channel. This video has more views than all of your videos combined. Maybe you should speed up your camera movement :-) Stay well, Lou
Very cool layout.
Glad you enjoy this one Dan :-) Lou
Tonight’s model rail road is just that what?
Just in Chicago
How did you do all that in that layout just asked question.

Do you happen to live in the New York area? If so, there is a beautiful layout up in Carlstadt NY by the railroad club, New York Society Of Model Engineers. There is an O gauge and Ho gauge layout, and we have open houses on Wednesday. Just wanted to let you know. Great video! Talk to ya later!

Happy to read you enjoy this layout :-) I'll work on holding the camera more steady. Lou
Can you hold the camera correctly up down, left to right, I can’t see the whole train

How many Engines do you have on your layout?
Not sure, however if you look at the text of this video, there is a location and I hope you can stop by.
YES YES YES
Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Did you see this one I posted yesterday? Enjoy, Lou ruclips.net/video/Su8woltxi2A/видео.html
DANG I THOUGHT I SAW RICK GRIMES THERE FOR A SECOND
Not sure who Rick is....
Never heard of this club... let's get the virus over so we can go!
Sounds good !
nice layout camera man needs to move slower
Rather see more train action
Hi reggie hathaway, Glad you enjoy the layout :-) I could move slower. Good news! Here is a link to a playlist I created of model train layouts & trains for you to enjoy, Lou ruclips.net/p/PLkoIzmOYXcchOyKhEHn_2-NqjpNFq64U3
HO scale gauge??? What's that?
That's how you get different people searching different ways find and view this video :-)
@@loucostabileoh lol I gotcha man thanks!
One thing I learned when I was in school.I worked at a Television station in the days when nearly everything was live.Slow down on your movements with the camera so people can see what your doing ,on your zooms especially,the essence of good camera work,let others enjoy your work so slow down for petes sake!
Hi Robert, Yes, a good tip to slow down. Lou
OMG this is a great layout or it could be. The photographer needs to take lessons on so many things. 1. Get a tripod. 2. Learn how to use it. 3. learn not to move the camera so fast. 4. learn not to zoom so fast. Such a bad video I couldn't see much of anything.
HI David, OMG so glad concerned people like you comment! To get those things you requested like the tripod will cost $, so here is a link to my Patreon, and thank you in advance, Lou www.patreon.com/MyCarStoryWithLou
At this moment I see that there are 6 model railroaders from other clubs who are jealous of this video....lol.

Not sure, however if you look at the text of this video, there is a location and I hope you can stop by.

70 Years cool. what state is this in. and city?
Hi Harlan, Chicago, IL. The info you're looking for is in the description / text on this video. Hope that helps, Lou
How many steamers you run?
Not sure, however if you look at the text of this video, there is a location and I hope you can stop by.
I would to say that you pan & zoom much to fast. Also you had the Prez right in front of you. Tha would have been a good time for a walk and talk.
Otherwise very nice layout. I would love to come and play with my trains there!
Hi Harlan TILLMAN, Thank you for viewing and sharing a tip. Here is a recent model RR layout I videoed, and hope you enjoy this one, Lou ruclips.net/video/v_96H56DaZ4/видео.html
BEAITFUL how long did it take to build K
Glad you enjoyed the layout. The Club has been around since 1947.
this is not the largest permanent layout the largest ho scale layout is in hamburg germany
Hi andrews trains, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou

Behind the blue door
They mystery behind this "blue door" has been solved :-)
Lou your camera is way too unstable...its difficult to watch, with way too much blur!
Its too bad how you ruin such lovely railroads with your camera works!
All digital captors (CCD & CMOS) have lots of problems keeping light in order and will pixelate a lot under movement
1) Stabilize your camera,...if a tripod wont fit, at least with a monopod which will go anywhere..
2) Make a zoom, a pan or a tilt...its ok.... but never two or three together....and please quit the rocking, back and forth, thats a NO NO! Ideally, stop the auto-focus and make your own manual focus as you go....there are many good rigs out there that are not too expensive to control focus as you shoot
3) In DOP jargon, pans or tilts are always shot at 7-8 seconds rate for each 35 degrees, less if possible....more than that makes people dizzy!
4) Make a lot of B-roll wide shots with camera on a tripod, then you can mix it in edit to connect scenes or fill gaps....its NEVER a good idea to try and edit as you shoot
5) Use 2 mikes: one camera mike for background and another boom mike for the details, like engines...nothing wrong in shooting first , then going around with only the mike to record close ups of engines running...since no one is talking, it is super easy to add the proper sound in edit! Also for your own voice-overs, duplicate them later in post and remove the originals, that way you will be able to mix the sound levels properly...
6) All sound levels, voice, effects and music score should not exceed -10db with peaks at -6db...avoir 0db to 3db at all costs since computer speakers canot take the over load
Sorry I may be rude, but I see these mistakes so often on RUclips that it gets frustrating
Cheers and good luck!
Andre
Hi André Bériault, Thank you for viewing and sharing some tips. Lou
Looks like a very nice layout, but people who imagine they can just pick up a camera and start filming a masterpiece on their first -- or tenth -- try are deceiving themselves. The filming of this is dreadful. It made me nauseous. Get a professional if you're going to do it at all. Otherwise, you'll have no audience whatever.
Hi David, Thankfully my video which has at the time of your "critic" has 188K+ views. I'm so pleased when you, who are clearly a "real Expert" comments. I'm eager go to see your Channel so I can how it should be done! OHHHH MY THERE IS NOTHING ON YOUR CHANNEL! Well, well, I guess people will just have to deal and watch my (in your opinion) subpar video until you start posting. Stay well, Lou
Lou You should come to Kitchener Ontario here in canada and go around the model train club I belong to. The time you can get in is March 23-25 I'm not to sure. Send me a message on Facebook at Matt Brinson and we can work something out. My picture is a tow truck with Christmas lights on it
Hi Matt, Thank you for the invite! I'm sure you're having fun with the trains and that Is what it's all about. Sounds like you have a cool tow truck too. Lou
