@@jackbeam56 I'm talking about trains that appear to be somewhat modern like a 1970's train spray painted with graffiti in the opening theme of the show Welcome back Kotter typr trains...……..it's realistic rather you believe it's not a good thing. I see graffiti on ancient rocks in New Mexico and it's protected and called Native art. But it is just a Indian 200 years ago doing graffiti on the rock.
For me, the features that set this video apart from other great model train layout videos are 1) the realistic sounds, 2) the simultaneous running of 2-3 trains at one time, and 3) the mixing of steam engine trains with diesel engine trains, each with a different sound signature. Magnificent!!
I was born in 1940 in a very small town with a railroad a few blocks from home. It was taken out right after WW11. But i remember when a troop train came through and hearing men on the train singing as they passed. My mother told me the men were headed home. Now my home town is huge and i no longer live there but watching this video of the wonderful layout brought back those early memories. thank you so much.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed this preview of Howard Zane’s incredible masterpiece. I offer a complete 2 hour documentary with choreographed train movements to a story line, an in depth interview with Howard not only about trains but his life, a full panoramic overview of the entire layout, and other specialty segments. Please visit www.nacesvideography.com for this and other award-winning model railroad programs.
The layout is superb. But I will take a moment to give proper credit to the cameraman, Mr. Nace. Would be videographers take note. There are basically two types of shots here: 1) "locked down" shots, where the camera is absolutely still, with little or no zooming. Watch most model videos. Waaaay too much needless camera movement. But here, the videographer has resisted the urge to constantly "look" around with the camera. Rather, he chooses a spot, and stays there, allowing the train to move through the scene. 2) Pan shots. Where the camera does move, it is a "pan" shot, where the camera tracks right alongside the locomotive, in a very smooth motion. The very first scene opens with a very high quality pan shot. The end result of all this is that the viewer is able to enjoy the scene unfolding, without the distraction of unnecessary camera movement. Perfect video!
If the trip to this model train layout would not be so complicated and expensive, I would have filmed it myself. But flying from Frankfurt, Germany, to the US (with all the camera equipment) is very expensive.
Thank you for your compliments, greatly appreciated. Yes, I basically limit myself to three types of shots, similar to what one would capture if videoing real trains as you described above, with the cameras always mounted on tripods, boom arms, slide rails, or sometimes a train on a parallel track. I am glad you enjoyed it.
enjoy watching these videos of trains. the only thing i don't enjoy is the artificial train noise that is repetitive and distracts from the actual work that goes into these amazing sets congrats to the camera work.
Paul, I remember you well....one of my best employees. Where are you living now? If close by....please stop in for a visit and tour. Much has happened since the old hobby shop days.....all good! Thanks for comment.
This has to be the most incredible and beautiful layout I've ever seen. I love the dawn of the diesels time period. The foliage, rock, road bed, and weathering is all perfect. Great video.
This layout has a really nice nostalgic feel to it. It almost makes you feel like shrinking yourself down to that scale so you could walk around in it. Thanks for sharing it.
I had to leave a comment altho its been 4yrs since this video posted! Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pa(Edgewood)it looks just like what I saw & heard several times a day&night. I loved hearing the trains at night in bed even tho we lived a few blocks away! The faded wine colored cars especially & the buildings & houses & the BabyRuth sign really did the trick!
I´m driven to tears w/ this overwelming artistry me having been as a young boy presented w/ a Markling train and tracks which entertained me for many years and at 73 these models still make my heart pound madly!!!!Lovely footage,many thanks V v Z
+PILENTUM - Yes! I concur 100 percent! Absolutely stunning layout...reeks of authenticity! Of course...the videography was equally impressive!! Overall...extremely well done!!
I am in absolute amazement! Such detail, such sound! Grammy worthy! This might be one of the most beautiful layouts in the country! 10000000000000000000/10!
That table is totally great..no matter where you look there's art and beauty. so realistic, I have another table to add to my bucket list...you Sir are an artist and magician...just a grand table.
Thank you Andrew. I do offer a 2 hour video showing all scenes of this 2,850 square foot model railroad, as well as interviews and other specialty segments. Please visit my site at www.nacesvideography.com, thank you, Forrest Nace - Videographer
The Erie is my favorite railroad to model. Mr Zane has done it so well here. A showcase of craftsmanship and brass! That procession of Erie boxcars at 7:15 is art!
Very few were built in real life, and only by two railroads - the Erie and the Virginian. They were known as Triplexes. They were built to haul extremely long, heavy coal trains up steep grades at very slow speeds (the one in the video is moving faster than any of the real ones probably did in their entire lives). Sadly, they were all eventually cut up for scrap.
Your collection of extraordinary, beautiful, highly detailed steam engines is second to none! The layout and the camera angles shot from make this video one of the very best I know of! Simply Incredible Workmanship.
Because they are either extremely jealous or the anus of a skunk, one or the other. There is absolutely no other reason somebody could "dislike" something as incredible as this.
I am particularly impressed with the subtle, yet visible weathering and shading applied to the freight cars and engines. Great job of not overdoing it. I guess this layout depicts a time before graffiti was considered a legitimate art form.
Exceptional and FANTASTIC video. Thought I was seeing, and hearing the REAL Loco's. The Steam Giant's sounded like how I REMEMBER. Thank You for this view of what was . . .

Wow. There's nothing that get's my juices going more, than a labour of love turned into a work of art. That's way more than a model railroad. All it's lacking is moving traffic and animated people and the eye would be completely fooled.
Thank you! I use ESU/Loksound for the steam & diesel locomotive sounds plus some railroad sounds, and actual recordings for many of the other sounds in the program such as the turntable spinning.

Excellent! I came here originally because I thought this was based on the Erie Piermont Branch, but was amazed nonetheless at the attention to detail and variety of rolling stock. Well done layout and video.
I agree with all the very complimentary comments made here. Another thing I liked was the contrast of city, country, and rural scenes which made it always interesting and refreshing. A truly exceptional and extraordinary layout.
Incredibly beautiful never seen A set up so beautiful Makes me go back to my childhood always wanting a train Set or nice looking bike but my Parents could never afford any of those beautiful toys
Very nice HO scale layout. I also model the turn of the 19th century in HO scale. Still working on building turn of the century rolling stock which were mostly based on the truss rod flatcar. Cheers from eastern TN

Hello John, the layout is 2,850 square feet and we ran 80 different trains. It is in a private home (basement) in Columbia MD. It is not open to the public, and that is why I have begun to professionally document these incredible works of art. Please visit my web site at www.nacesvideography.com for information on the now award winning 2 hour documentary I have available. Thank you, Forrest Nace - videographer
The used train speeds adds to the realism, as does the lack of unrealistic train movements like off scale shakes and stutters. This video is a pleasure to watch !

Fair statement. Graffiti became popular with the advent of the spray can. There was rather little graffiti during the period depicted her 40'-50's.

It looks so real ! A few times I forgot it was a model set.
I worked for Howard Zane in 1973-4 at Columbia hobby and crafts in Columbia Md.
I learned so much from him about weathering .

Just the opening shot of the main steam engine chugging along, and the sound to go with it, was absolutley Gorgeous!
Howard Zane, you are a true artist. Thank you for sharing.
Oh yeah, this is what we called a perfect & realistic train model. Fantastic job guys....loved it..!!
Wow, the level of detail and realism is insane! I would so much love to see that in person.
Best model train STEAM LOCOMOTIVE video I've ever seen. Great scenery and Great sound. Unlike many other videos, I Had to watch the whole video.

The fading on the cars, engines and even the shingles of the houses make this so realistic.
You really have to be there. Howard's layout is most amazing and breath taken layouts I have every seen, it big and beautiful.
I would like to be there! Who pays me the travel expenses?
I am in absolute amazement! Such detail, such sound! Grammy worthy! This might be one of the most beautiful layouts in the country! 10000000000000000000/10!
That to me is an amazing work of art. I keep asking myself. What kind of people can click unlike on a video like this. Unbelievable.
Those who can, do - those who can't, click "unlike" is what it amounts to.
STUPENDOUS !!! ... Trainspotting on a sunny day. The amount of detail and realism is astonishing. Amazing layout.
That is the nicest lay out I even seen. Beautiful.
Only thing lacking is smoke and steam!!! Beautiful layout.
Unbelievable! The detail is mindblowing!

Remarkable artistry in this video. I visited this layout about15 years ago when it was a bit smaller but just as beautiful.
This has to be the best way to spend a weekend and a cold day outside , thanks for sharing I love it .

Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much Mr zane.
that would be a fantastic layout to go see.
So realistic that for a moment I wondered if this was just a tricked version of some real life places wow...BRAVO!
It is real, the people are 6 foot cardboard cutouts
Very nice HO scale layout. I also model the turn of the 19th century in HO scale. Still working on building turn of the century rolling stock which were mostly based on the truss rod flatcar. Cheers from eastern TN
Tremendous layout. Video and feel of pike is enhanced by the scale speeds. Great details, weathering.
great model railroad layout with superb trains.
Wow what a beautiful layout takes my back to when I was a kid and trains like that were real 😁 GREAT job
