Thanks. I need to update again. There are more changes since this video. For example at 0:48, in the large open triangular section I installed Candlestick Park and a fantasy monorail station. It was the old location of the San Francisco 49ers. I hope to update it really soon. Thanks again for viewing.
OMG! Your imagination and sharp eye for detail surpasses incredible. That layout is filled to the rim with action from the carnival, street cars, monorail and railroad whew! My eyes were exhausted from trying not to miss anything! I too am a major fan of commuter, passenger, and mass transit rail (subways, subways, SUBWAYS!! I'm from NYC) so when I saw your BART video, I instantly subscribed to your channel and man am I happy that I did! LOVED everything about your layout and every second of the video. Loved those vehicles (I see that I have to buy more for my proposed NYC subway layout) and those buildings! Incredible work, BRAVO! Excellent camerawork, lighting and backdrop. I MUST share this on one of the Facebook HO modelers group page and leave them blown away by this superb display of creativity. My hat is off to you Sir!
Mark 'BhigDaddyMark' Ferguson thanks for the wonderful words. Surprisingly there is still more to do such as adding more people. Afterall San Francisco is known for being congested with people, buildings, and traffic. I still plan to update a later video displaying a night show when I finish adding streetlights, station lights, etc. Thanks again for viewing.
blakrootz One quick question, I shared this video on my Facebook page and also on the Facebook HO Modelers group page and someone asked if the monorail was in N-scale? It looks like the monorail at Disney World in Orlando Florida, is it in N-scale?
Mark 'BhigDaddyMark' Ferguson The model stores are from eBay. There is a guy on there who custom makes them. The seller's name is (ansky98). He created all of my stores: Safeway, Ross, Planet Fitness, Jenny Craig, McDonalds, Jack In The Box, etc.Please click the following link: www.ebay.com/itm/302192959977. When it opens, then scroll down the page to "sellers other items" and you will see the great things he has to offer. I have another person on eBay, (Ernest), and he is very patient and skillful when he built my Victorian homes. The monorail is HO Scale and a hard to find item on eBay. "E R Monorail"...it is modeled from the monorail system in Sydney, Australia which has been discontinued. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/ox4EG4KGATA/видео.html. All of the amusement park rides are again from eBay...search Mr. Christmas or Lemax Carnival Rides.Lastly, anything else was kit bashed or scratch built like the freeway, train and monorail stations, drive in theatre, etc. Thanks again for viewing and sharing.
HNL Bus 522 Fan the best way to find them is on eBay. In your search..type "lrv streetcar" many options usually appear and you may be able to find one there. If not check back periodically someone usually has one up for sale every now and then.
The back drops are fantastic.
