There are lots of great Model RR channels on here. Some really talented guys. I really dig that you took the time to showcase this clubs efforts. There is so much skill, talent, and dedication there and most people are too afraid to "nerd out" and appreciate it
This video was relaxing to watch, or at least it was for me. ; ) My brother and I would play with our train set all the time. It was fun and frustrating. The tracks didn't always like to connect nicely with each other and the trains would either stop or derail, but when everything worked it was hours of fun. I would try to place one of my Hot Wheels cars in front of the trains to recreate scenes from Back to the Future 3.
matthgmdude1 Haha. That's awesome. Good thing you never succeeded in traveling through time. Could have messed up the future big time!! Yeah but we had a set too. it was so much fun!!! We made it go to fast all the time and it would derail. Going off the rails on a crazy train!!!
13:22 Simply amazing how realistic this shot felt. It didn't look like a model at all. Except for maybe the water not moving, but WHATEVER! Still awesome.
Great video Matt, I got lost somewhere in the middle within my mind just thinking of how I would construct something like this. What town I would base it off of, how I would be able to put it together and take it apart for shows such as this. My mind was on full overload. Not to mention what scale I would build. I always seemed to have a thing for the smaller scales like N & Z scales... super small! Just so I could easily build a larger world around the train. Watching this video I dug deep into my memory banks and recalled having a train engine when I was between 5-7. The engine came with a special oil you'd drip into the smoke stack and it would puff white smoke as it went down the track. I can still to this day remember what that smoke smelled like. So weird how the mind works. I hadn't thought of that train in decades.
Wave your Nerd flag loud and proud! I love model trains too! Ever since I could form a sentance i've loved model trains. I swear I want a model train setup at some point in my lifetime. I think I will end up being that 60 year old bachelor with a train town setup in the spare bedroom of my home taking up the entire room at some point. My own personal Land of Make Believe! Except mine won't have creepy puppets... no. Especially the old granny puppet Lady Elaine Fairchilde, *shivers*
I really enjoyed your video because it brought up memories of my youth and trains were an intricate and everyday part of my life. I grew up in a small town just a block and a half or so from a railroad switching yard. No trains went speeding thru (they moved at what seemed like a snails pace when I was in a hurry to get somewhere) but the sounds of the trains were as much a part of my life as breathing; One of those things you don't notice unless it stops. If I was late leaving a friends house or I got side-tracked on the way home from school I had a lot riding on if the tracks were busy or not (if I was late getting home I'd be in trouble. I was 16 before my father finally bought a car so we walked everywhere; It could be a real pain coming home with a heavy grocery bag and having to wait on the train, feeling really small standing so close to those gigantic huge monster train engines; you could feel the rumble in the ground underneath your feet; some days I'd worry about "what if it tipped over" with me standing there. Guess I'd really be late getting home then. My other "train memories are about a yearly journey aboard the train on the way to or back again from Canada visiting a family member going to school there. It was Eastertime, usually cold and it took a day and a half or so. We always got layed-over in Chicago's LaSalle Street Station which stands out in my memory. I loved riding the train, eating in the dining car (its where I first "discovered" two of my favorite foods: cinnamon toast and pecan pie. The dining car was a rare treat we could only afford once or twice. I loved the time aboard the train because I had all kinds of time free to do stuff like play "Old Saul" or read as much as I wanted without my mother making me stop to do something boring like washing dishes. My time was my own for a change in my own world without the usual demands. . I especially enjoyed the part of your video showing the little kids playing on the merry-go-round. I remember the city park and swimming pool which are part of my best memories. Yours is one of the most enjoyable videos I've seen lately. It got me wishing it was possible to go back to those simpler days. Its true that time sometimes seemed to crawl by back then but people had time to talk. It was before the advent of the curse of texting. THANKS FOR HELPING ME REMEMBER . .
Awesome. Thanks for sharing so many good memories with me. So glad the video could help you remember and reminisce! I didn't grow up around trains but I have lived by them and traveled by them in my adult years. Love it. So much fun. Also Hurrah!! for Cinnamon toast and Pecan Pie! So delicious.
I already checked out your "Somewhere in Time" Videos - way cool. You have lots of interesting stuff anxious to see what else you have. I'm heavily into nostalgic pieces and Somewhere in Time definitely qualifies.

Awesome video Matt. My son thought it was cool and he's going to b 18 in a couple weeks. 😔 I wish he was still 8. I mailed letter to u & Ashley on Sat. Hope u get it soon. Talk soon Tina.
Ur welcome. Yeah he's still pretty cool but the teenage yrs r definitely the rough ones. That's when they try u the most. Lol.😂 Tell Ashley we said hello. Can't wait for June 30th 2 get here!! Minnesota we r coming Back. 😀💜
i totally dig this. if only you could have filmed it faster so that it wold look slightly slower and to scale, that would have been cool! Regardless, Rad video Matt!
nintendolunchbox Haha. Yeah it was after I left and realized I had taken over 200 plus different shots. then after I "Tested" one scene with realistic sounds I knew I had to do the whole thing like that. But oh well. labor of love.
This is great, thanks!
the cinematography is great on this.
Good lord. Can I live with you please to just sit and watch this beauty?!
Fabulous, so relaxing to watch
Such a great video. My kids loved it
Very well done night video on the layout!
This is so lovely. I could really chill and relax watching this just run and run.
Brilliant ❤️
I love it! The lights are so beautiful and the sounds you put in really set a great mood! 👍🏻

Woah!!! I never would have imagined a miniature carnival. Wow!
nintendolunchbox Yeah I thought that was pretty cool too!
Super sweet
Amazing job on the sound effects! I can tell you had a lot of fun with this one. Right down to the pig snorts and trickling waterway.
Haha. Yeah I did it up! I could have kept adding sounds, but at some point I had to stop and just upload the darn thing.
This video was relaxing to watch, or at least it was for me. ; )

ReviewsTechNow Thanks! These are some of the best model trains I think I've seen. Thanks for watching man.
Another great editing job!

I thought the same thing when I was watching it back. This was the first shot I tested with real sounds and ambiance noises. Looks so real.

Thanks for sharing this Matt! Awesome video! And who doesn't like model trains???
ThumpnFig Right!? What's not to love! Thanks for watching!

It was a special treat finding your video Thanks Again - I haven't found any other videos that come close.
Awesome! Thanks! Hope you take a look at my other videos too!
I already checked out your "Somewhere in Time" Videos - way cool. You have lots of interesting stuff anxious to see what else you have. I'm heavily into nostalgic pieces and Somewhere in Time definitely qualifies.
Nice. Check out the Abandoned Drive Inn Movie Theater one. That one's pretty nostalgic.
this was great! I always enjoy your subject matter however your video and edit skills are over the top professional. once again good job sir.
Fish Thanks fish. Appreciate it man! Wasn't sure how people would react to this one. so far so good!

crazycatlady Thanks! I appreciate you noticing things like that! Not everybody does. so THANKS!! :-)
Pretty impressed you don't see layouts at night anywhere else.
8:47 Holy crap I laughed so freaking hard! LOL
Yeah Haha. Who was the weird guy? Looks like a pretty scary movie.
Awesome video Matt. My son thought it was cool and he's going to b 18 in a couple weeks. 😔 I wish he was still 8. I mailed letter to u & Ashley on Sat. Hope u get it soon. Talk soon Tina.
fibro butterfly Awesome thanks so much for your letter! Yeah I hear they grow up fast!! Sounds like he's still a pretty cool kid! ;-)
Ur welcome. Yeah he's still pretty cool but the teenage yrs r definitely the rough ones. That's when they try u the most. Lol.😂 Tell Ashley we said hello. Can't wait for June 30th 2 get here!! Minnesota we r coming Back. 😀💜
i totally dig this. if only you could have filmed it faster so that it wold look slightly slower and to scale, that would have been cool! Regardless, Rad video Matt!
Brian Buckley Yeah good idea! Maybe I'll have to try than sometime. Good thought.
Man. You spent A LOT of time audio mixing on this treasure of a video
nintendolunchbox Dude. you have no idea. Haha. it took forever to add all the sounds. but it was just so darn fun to add them. I had to do it.
+MattsRadShow was it before going there or after you got there that you knew you had a week of editing to do ?
nintendolunchbox Haha. Yeah it was after I left and realized I had taken over 200 plus different shots. then after I "Tested" one scene with realistic sounds I knew I had to do the whole thing like that. But oh well. labor of love.
super well done. you even got the engine timing right.
It wasn't like when I was a kid
Seriously dude. Lots of clips here could be b roll footage for tv shows. No one would catch on its miniature.
nintendolunchbox Thanks man! A testament to their craftsmanship too.
