    One word....STUNNING! Okay, make that two words....INSPIRATIONAL!!! Just incredible brilliant work, thank you!

    Maybe one of the best layouts that has been built. Merging relatively small space with a port as the main theme is just great. The detail and the over all is dead on, and how that back drop adds another dimension to it.

    OUTSTANDING, Lucas/Hollywood level work. Loved how you showed how you built items from scratch, a true lost art. Thank you.

    I recall seeing the port of la modeled in a model railroader magazine back in like 1990. It was a small h.o. modular layout, and the track plan stuck in my head as the best switching layout id even seen.

  • @mikel9567
    @mikel9567 7 лет назад +3

    Wow!!! My hat is off to you sir, that is beyond impressive. That isn't a model railroad, that is true work of art.

    Bernard, your attention to detail is truly impressive. I am not a fan of 'modern era' modelling but this clip has had me glued to the screen!

    Fantastic work -- the attention to detail is awesome. Some of the time it was hard to tell the real from the model.

    @justindeclemente1130 7 лет назад +5

    That is some damn fine modeling-damn fine. I spent years running freight trains in the Los Angeles basin, and was the Senior Engineer for the PHL (even chose the paint scheme), and this layout hits the bullseye by capturing the overall feel of the entire Port. Nicely done...

    • @BernardK
      @BernardK  7 лет назад +3

      Great job on choosing the PHL loco scheme. It's one of my favorites.

    Wow. Awesome model trains. I drove for 12 tears for JB Hunt and picked up a lot of shipping containers from the port of LA. Brings back memories. You even got the graffiti on the cars, too. Very nice.

    Wow, I hadn't heard about this. I loved your steel mill layout. I've been going down to the harbor for many years. This does look just like it. Especially that area for the slab train pier.

  • @schleusenmeister

    Hi Bernard, As soon as I saw this, I was reminded of a great model from the early 1990's in Model Railroader! This is awesome, I struggled to tell which segments of the video were real or model. Regards from England, John E.

    • @BernardK
      @BernardK  7 лет назад

      You are referring to Bob Smaus's layout. It was a very cool little project that demonstrated the potential of that area for a model. This project is much larger and oriented on model railroad operations.
