  • Welcome back to Per Laursen's spectacular modern UP Texas-based model railroad! Dubbed “earthworms” by railfans because of how the long string of brown cars look when rolling down the rails, they are found across the united states. Enjoy as we follow this train across the UP Fort Worth Subdivision.
    Thanks for watching!

    I like the tamping machine. I hadn't seen a functional one in scale models before. Your layout is impressive too.

    Per Laursens is one of the very few layouts I'm impressed with. Its not cluttered with redundant track everywhere, curves followed by more curves, decently fast trains and modern era of course.

    Crossing gates malfunction at 2:06 better notify BNSF maintenance . Lovely layout, and the story of the train and more. Crossing gates a little slow at 4:20 LOL

    Arguably the best HO scale layout I’ve ever seen. Love the modern feel and keeps the track to scenery and other aspects real and not overcrowded.

    It's so refreshing to watch a model train being run at a realistic speed for a change! Putting aside all the trains we see at shows which are run too fast, what I'm getting tired of are all the operators who run their trains too slowly! There's some sort of false sense in the hobby that the slower you run your train, the more "serious" you are.
    Yeah, but no.
    This video shows the correct speed.

    • @AbelG8781

    If this was a Houston to Fort Worth train, it most likely wouldn’t be loaded unless it was coming from the PTRA North Yard. From there, it would be G-PTNNYF. However if it came from the BNSF Houston Yard it would have been empty and thus X-HOUNYF.

    What recommendations do you have for fixing the brake hoses on cars that keep getting caught in switches or stopping on crossovers. I have several cars giving me issues and I can’t get them to bend out of the way and was hoping to fix them for flawless running

      Bend up the tips or cut them off. They make a pair of plyers specifically to bend things like this.

      I disagree, I think the dubbed sounds help add immersion to the video and realism to the layout. Also it hides anyone having conversations in the background that would definitely distract from the art of this gorgeous layout.
