Amazing!!! I really liked the different views, ground level, front, and the rearview. I also like how you showed the different views of the other oncoming trains. The scenery is outstanding, you have current establishments, like Carl Jr's., Lowes, Dairy Queen, and modern vehicles. I did see some early model ones also, like the Continental Mark V, my grandfather us to have one like that. And the police vehicle and office that had initiated a traffic stop with the lights flashing was a great touch. Truly a great video, a testament to all the work you all have put into this rail line. Thanks for sharing with us all.
Your attention to detail and craftsmanship as well as the realism you incorporated into this layout makes it a masterpiece. Well, well done... not like my steaks though, since I prefer medium rare. Seriously, this is an amazing layout.
It's not just the train that look realistic, it's the details that bring it out the realness on the train. This takes years of making, and you not gonna finish it overnight either. What we need to see now is the automobile moving on the road instead of position stationary. And also put the little cameras on the cars. Of course that gonna take some works. I can watch this all day.
nicely constructed narrative. also - love the mirror-finish coal cars. reminiscent of the last time American railroads were operated and maintained with pride. is it really 70 years ago ? btw - impeccable - even preternaturally realistic - scenery and detailing. real artistry on display here. looks like photographs of an "idealized" real world - where everything was kept immaculately clean. damn. this beats even the world-famous Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg Germany. as awesomely detailed as that showcase is - its scenes would never be mistaken for photos of reality.
This is the best layout I have ever seen. So life like, right down the oil smudge in the parking slots of the parking lots and down the center of the streets, the video is excellent.
I had an N-scale, free-lanced Texas railroad: the sky blue and yellow Texas Central and Pacific. It was also modern era. Your scenery and trains are so authentic, that sometimes, it's hard for me to imagine that this not the real thing. When I scenicked my Texas topography, I was guessing sometimes because, though I 've been to Texas a few times, I didn't remember it all. Having seen your layout, I realized that I got it right. Thanks. Great layout. I've just started looking at You Tube model railroad videos, and this certainly goes up there with the best.
The town with the modern companies looks terrific . Cab ride cool and the street shots also good. Last engine with rear light on. prototypical and I wish I could figure out how to do that rule 17. Never works for me.
This is my 3rd time watching this one, since it's first release. Learned a lot about central/southeast Texas topography. I had modeled Texas on my own N-scale empire back in the 80s/early 90s. Surprised how much of it I had gotten right.
Beautiful! Easy to forget it's not railfanning. Sat at a crossing up in Michigan when the coal train went through - 119 cars - had nothing better to do so I counted!
I realize that but our natural frame of vision isn't constricted like that. The view from inside a locomotive would not have a black border like what we see in the video.
This Is Simply,,,, UNBELIEVABLE,,, Michelangelo May of Painted The Sistine Chapel,,, But I Can Assure You,,, He Never Built Anything Like This... So The Question Is,,,,, "Is It Live,,, Or Is It Memorex" ??? Just Outstanding I Really Enjoyed It... So Real
I wanna ask this though I doubt you’ll answer but for a 4 track eight crossing like in Wyandotte Michigan would it be complicated to set up crossings like that
The accuracy of detail in this layout maddens me. For instance, the Dollar General sign at 0:25 is correct in font, scale, color....etc. I've passed a few DG signs in my life so I know what they look like. I don't know if DG's are well known nationwide, but I assume most people watching this video have never seen a real-life DG sign. I don't know if those folks can appreciate this obscure detail like I do, so I'm here to tell you to! The other thing I found myself doing was trying to find inaccuracies. This just dissolved into nitpicking, so I gave up. But it wouldn't have taken much to fix the crooked street light at 0:35 before filming :-)
Hey I have a question because I wanna start getting into ho scale modeling what cars like not the train ones but the ones on the street I have matchbox but what are the ones you use?? Thank You!
Watch your Train Speeds to scale! They seem to be going a little fast for your layout... I'm clocking them at near 55 MPH... To scale..... What is track speed there on the real line?
Where you get your taco Bell restaurant I like it. How can I get one. Do you have any extra locomotives don't have any money to buy a new one. My locomotives been repaired I have two. Now I don't have any only passengers cars 6) I have two locomotives BNSF gevo n SD 40-2 Kato repaired and added sound. But n September. God bless you
If you use DecoderPro to program your decoders, it is pretty easy to set in "Function Table".This is also where you set it to leave the ditchlights and headlight on when you're backing up.
I noticed the “crossing power working” light on the grade crossing control boxes. Did you install those or did you purchase them? There’s an odd website called DW Newman and they say they make crossing boxes with power lights like these but their Facebook page is down And they only claim to make the stuff they’re selling! It may be fake. Where did your crossing control boxes come from?
The control boxes are BLMA and I installed the light. It is a 1,5 mm (1/16") fiber optic with a 3mm LED behind it, held together with heat shrink tube. It is pretty easy to make.
They are Tomar Indsutries H-863. They come as a pair with all the mechanics you need. You can get them direct from Tomar or from Modeltrainstuff.com, Walthers and other reatilers.You also need a detection/flasher unit to activate it. I use GradeCrossingPro from LogicRail Technologies, they work the most realistic.
List Price is $190, but you may find it cheaper at Modeltrainstuff.com or Walthers. Walthers have them on sale sometimes. The controller board LogicRail Technologies GCP is $43 and the ringer Circuit module is $35. I sell the modern Electronic bell sound module and older bell types, see www.summit-customcuts.com/homeproducts/crossingbellsounds.html

What a masterpiece of a layout. The camera work capturing the fine details is delightful.
Stunning attention to detail. Just amazing. Love the working crossing barriers / lights / bells. Wow!
Incredible attention to detail. WOW! The roads, sidewalks, buildings and all else. Just beautiful!

I've seen so many beautiful layouts that my head is spinning. I will never be able to have a layout like this in a mobile home.

never realized how expansive this layout is. impressive work.
Impossible not to like this work of art. I love the horn on the BNSF MAC too!

Outstanding keep this coming this let's us starter guys to learn from you, thank you. Dave
Beautiful network! Very impressive and very realistic! Bravo!
Awesome layout. Your modern structures almost make me want to start modeling present day instead of late 70's.

Amazing as usual .Most inspiring love the layout, appreciate the editing. Keep it up Per. Looking forward to the next one .
Great video, and your layout is absolutely stunning! Bravo!
@Summit model train videos I know I have watched this video 2 or 3 time before just now watching it again 😊
It's my favorite model train layout
That is an amazing coal train, and striking, contemporary structures and scenery.

Awesome video my friend. Your layout looks amazing.
I just realized that the second engine of the auto rack was the Golden Swoosh. Nice
amazing scenery! keep up the good work and keep making amazing videos!!!
Hello everybody (from north France ) rare beautyfull movies you have a very nice layout , thanks for my enjoy.
Fun cab ride , love the layout .. amazing
nice video. The train looked real
Absolutely stunning
An astonishing layout. The detail and realism is second to none!
It's unfortunate that half the video appears to be filmed through a mailbox slot.
It's a locomotive cab window
I realize that but our natural frame of vision isn't constricted like that. The view from inside a locomotive would not have a black border like what we see in the video.
The video is great as well as the layout is there more layout to be seen

WoW! so so perfect, amazing video
Loved the layout. I subbed
I LOVE this !!! It looks SO real !!!
Fantastic 👌
Fantastic. Just like the real thing. Inspiration for my modest layout in UK. Could anyone give me a steer for finding modern image pickups etc. Thx F
River Point Station makes HO modern Ford pickups
How did you get a Camera small enough to fit inside the HO scale Locomotive? I WANT ONE!!! Neatest thing I have ever seen!!!
Nice Control Point Taco Bell where it made the first stop!
Beautiful layout
I wanna ask this though I doubt you’ll answer but for a 4 track eight crossing like in Wyandotte Michigan would it be complicated to set up crossings like that
I don't understand the question, you have to be more specific
Who made the model trains and train cars? I SO NEED THESE FOR MY HO SCALE TRAIN TABLE
Just so you know, Canadian Pacific engines don't have flashing lights. Other than that great video!

Looks more like 40-45 to me

How did you come about putting Clifton (TX) on your layout? What's your connection?
What camera did you use? Amazing layout!
Epic video! May I ask how you got the rear light on the AC4400CW to turn on while the train was in forward?
If you use DecoderPro to program your decoders, it is pretty easy to set in "Function Table".This is also where you set it to leave the ditchlights and headlight on when you're backing up.

Excellent video, superb layout, probably have asked this before but do you have any passenger services?
Thank you. I only run the Texas Eagle, you can see that on the "Trains on the layout" video.

JT The Railfan that doesn't make any sense
Jessica Clayburg I was wondering how the get the camera where it is? The other part of this was I liked the video and buildings on the layout
Here is a link to the camera car: www.summit-customcuts.com/camerastand.html
I asked the same thing!
In real life, are the trailing units controlled by the conductor at the front or are they independent?
They are controlled by the engineer from the leading unit via a radio-data link.
Is Waycross, TX a made-up town? It is not on google maps, like the other towns are on this layout. It always wants to show me Waycross, GA!
