Central Valley Model Works Model Railroad

A beautiful model railroad layout of the Northern Pacific set in the late 40's to early 60's era of steam locomotives. This layout was This layout was built by the late Jack Parker, and now operated by his son Jeff, and his wife Heather.

Super good

Thanks. So happy to find video on Jack's layout. The build quality is truly first rate. Probably one of the best layouts ever and my favorite big steam era layouts (I'm biased - NP and Montana fan). That brass Z-8 and A-4 are amazing. Then spotting all the rare brass steam models in the yards and engine facilities, painted and weathered to perfection, perfect trackwork, etc... - so jealous. Central Valley products are first rate too. Besides the bridge kits I have already, I have to get a few dozen of those NP flatcar and stockcar kits.

Jack was a fantastic modeler, engineer and built many great cars for the NP modeler: the NP stock car (which I have built 8!) and the NP flat car (which I have built 4!). Jeff has carried on the baton at Central Valley Model Works!

Great layout and clip. Thanks for the post. But why no 480p? I remember this layout from the cover of a Great Model Railroads issue from the 90's. You think you can do a "regular cabride" clip of the whole line of this layout? (hopefully without any people in the camera view) That would be so rad. Thumbs up man!

Too bad none of those N&G Railway Signal Company Model 2A semaphores are operational.
