Layout Tour - BN Pacific Division in Amazing Detail HO Scale
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2024
- Take a tour of Tim Dickinson's incredible Burlington Northern model railroad, recreating the BN Pacific Division from Seattle, WA to Spokane, WA in the 1970s. From end to end, this layout is packed with detail, unique operations, and amazing scenery. The HO scale layout is a private model railroad that Tim and his friends have been working on since 1984. A huge thanks to Tim for letting me visit and share it with y'all! I also wanted to thank Paul Federiconi from Details West for his time and help in coordinating this video. Check out his business here: www.detailswest.com/
Also, a big thank you to Matt Wiles for helping me with the information and narration on the layout!
A few additional notes / corrections:
- Though the mainline is Code 83, other tracks are Code 70 and Code 55
- The rathole is not technically a "branch line," just the name of the switcher that services it.
- 12:20 location name is known as "Moxee City"
- The coal cars in Fruitvale are not for a power plant, but rather for a cement plant. My apologies!
As always, thanks for watching.

At the risk of sounding corny, but offered completely heartfelt, this layout is not merely world class, it is Universe class. Few, few can compare.
The only thing that is not done well are the power/communication lines along the track. Way too tight.
I concur, wholeheartedly.
and you have to be very lucky to get to see this layout too could be a dream one day to get to see this layout in person
@@jonruehle9186 you're going to criticize that are you kidding me
@@vicdeandrea8112 Nope. Not kidding. The layout is near perfect. The communication lines are amature at best. I have never seen lines that tight, and never will. Except on a model RR layout.
Amidst everything going on in the world right now, I hope this video can give y'all a quick break from it all. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your loved ones. :)

NSmodeler24 Dear Jose, I escaped mentally from this virus scare through your video of this model RR. I’ve viewed many model RR videos, but this one has the most DETAILS. No one ever adds the wires to the ‘code’ poles (telephone poles), these guys did! I might be wrong, but I think I saw a cockroach inside the train station in the NE corner. So impressed with the details, saw mill, track switching, trees, RR crossings, etc. Thanks, Dennis, San Diego
Very thoughtful, and thanks so much for you kind and caring words!!!!!
Scotabot You’re welcome Josh. Dennis.
Every little bit helps. Keep up the good work.
@ClearlyCaribbeanReb You too CCReb! :-)
An outstanding layout. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
I couldn't handle the amount of dedication it takes to build a layout based on a real life location during a specific year. Insane.
You do the best layout reviews of anyone on the web.
A Green BN locomotive will always find me of my childhood.
Tim being a railroader is another reason for the level of detail, he has had access to a lot of things most aren’t privy to, add to the authentic operating practices. One of my favorite layouts, I’ve once met Tim at an NHRS convention, which one escapes me, but a super nice guy.
When I saw the BN F units, I had an inkling that maybe I'd seen this layout before. That diner confirmed it, because I'd seen the vid where the Bicentennial SDP40 had stopped for a crew lunch. One of the best layouts I've ever seen. I subscribed years back on the strength of that video with the Bicentennial unit.
Those are the best looking power lines I've seen in a long time.
"E Z Line" They make all kinds of colors.
Wow! What a mix of BN fallen flags power in the first seen!
Very cool! Thanks for the tour!
A marvelous layout back to front. Thanks for a great tour.
I never tire of model train layout vids, thanks. Yours is one of the best.
Tim's attention to detail is second to none. Really enjoy the ride and tour.
WOW! What a great layout. Thanks for sharing!
Great job filming and describing this awesome layout - thanks!

Great video! Loved seeing those realistic early BN power lash ups! Also it was cool to hear the familiar names of Moxee and Fruitvale!
Beautifully detailed.......
excellent work, lots of attention to detail went into it. Great work makes me wish I lived closer so I could operate it.
Great video on an outstanding layout
Nice layout and great Narration, thank you so much...
Love the use of period correct tractor trailers! Beautiful layout.
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing and happy modeling!! -Jason
This is really amazing. Perfect timing too as I've become interested in modeling BN myself, in mountainous Pacific NW style. Your method and style in doing overviews is really amazing. You are a credit to this hobby and spreading it to others.
What a absolutely fantastic layout. This is such a inspiration for my layout. You can see the love and dedication to the hobby.
Wow! Terrific video. I'd like to see more of this fantastic layout.
Amazing layout! Hope you and your family the best through this horrible time.
This is truly a great video and appreciate the effort taken to produce it. I've had the pleasure to operate on Tim's layout. For those of you not lucky enough to see it in person, this video captures the essence of realism as if you were there in person. Tim and those who've contributed to the design and implementation of this masterpiece are artists in every form to their contribution to making it a functioning railroad. VRY
Gorgeous layout.
Beautiful layout. Thanks for the tour. Be well.
Outstanding layout. Love those C-415s
Love this one! One of my personal favorites.
Nice narration and smooth slow camera movement. Enjoyable!
Wow! What an amazing layout with details such that the eye does not go wanting.
Wow! I haven't seen a wigwam burner in years. What a great layout. Thanks for sharing.
Looking into the details of the era truly bring one back. So many attention to detail items make this such a wonderful step back in time. The ice machine outside the station is just one of thousands of carefully thought out attributes to this incredible undertaking. To all involved, Bravo!
another great video which was a pleasure to watch. thank you for your kind words, hope you all stay safe and well god bless Al.👍👍👍😊😊😊
This is a gorgeous layout! I can’t imagine hand-laying all my turnouts
Another great production!
Looking forward to the CTC video!
Love the old NP and SPS boxcars and other rolling stock. Reminds me of my youth in the Pacific NW. Great layout.
Beautiful layout. Great video.
Incredible work! Very impressive. I am modeling Montana Rail Link in O-Gauge and I can truly appreciate the mountain scenery . Outstanding detail and what a use of space ! Thanks for the tour .
Amazing details! The one detail that really impressed me was all the telegraph wire strung along the tracks.
Arrrrgh that hit the spot on this rainy 🌧 New years day 2022 in Oz !
A new model train scenery vid !
Thank you cop my subscription!
Happy new year !
WOW, I have seen many HO Layouts, but I think this one really wins the Trophy 🏆 BEAUTIFUL!!!!
This is Amaizing I love e everything about this layout and I love the little Grayhound Bus too,I use to have one as a Kid a little bit bigger but just seeing that bus took me back to 1970 so cool.
GORGEOUS! :) I cannot wait until the day that I leave this house that I rent, and actually BUY one! Then I can FINALLY start setting up a proper model railroad, and unpack the thousands of dollars worth of cars, track, and locomotives that I bought years ago. It won't be anywhere near as cool as the layout in the video, but it will still make me very happy :)
Beautiful. Great job. How can anyone gives a thumbs down on this beautiful set up?
This is the finest video of Tims great layout that has ever been done.Thanks Josh!
Thanks! :)
One of my favorite layouts - would love to visit sometime. Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks John!
Such a beautifully detailed layout... The super-detailing and subtle weathering is superb, not to mention all the code lines and even drop lines down to equipment boxes. You did a nice job with some of these shots, as well, for shooting down low at a prototypical height really did those scenes justice. Well done and thanks for sharing. Now to go take a look at the more recent video of this excellent layout!
My word, what a layout!! Bravo to everyone and for everything included and involved with this layout! The narrator has a fine diction and enunciation, as well!
The autos on layout amazing. Tons of them and all highly detailed. All period correct, too
I dont understand how anybody could give this a thumbs down... this is an incredible layout... awesome trackwork... superb A to Z, would love to see in person, what a treat, great narration THANK YOU
Wow, beautiful, well done, both the entire layout and the tour. It must have taken gazillions of hours to build this! I take my hat off in respect.
Absolutely a GREAT model railroad! Nice tour Josh! Really appreciate every aspect of this RR and video!
Thanks Michael, really appreciate the kind words!
Stunning. I've been an architectural model maker for 20 years and I'm quite impressed. Wish I could participate.
Just after I expand to add a BN line to my collection/fleet, THIS video comes out. How cool is that?! Great job by the builder. Professional and articulate by the narrator/camera man.
I too have been collecting BN, CB&Q and SP&S. I have a BN B30-7B (cabless) Overland brass on it's way, it will fit into the BNSF merger as well.
Boy what a great video! Ive been into Trains since my 1st set Christmas of 1966 Iam 60 today and Im still into one of my favorite hobbies along with building model cars,ho slotcars,hunting,fishing,gardner,guitar player,photographer and a few others including lawn trail riders,karate,guitar builder,song writer... thank god Im retired since 2014 lol O and Im single also maybe thats why I have money for hobbies lol
I love your videos! Keep up your great work! 👍
Being from the Seattle area, I love this video!
Fruitville, I'm very familiar with that area. I frequently pass through that area while hauling contaminated dirt from the Seattle area. As a boy I also have fond memories of that town.
Thanks Josh, It is well done Railroad. Love the scenery work and the Pine Trees. Bob
That's an excellent layout. Yours is well on it's way to the same level. 👍
Josh, fantastic work, your videography skills are awesome. Huge reason I love watching your videos.
Thanks Vince! I really appreciate the feedback and the kind words mean a lot. - Josh
Some VERY talented and hard working people wow
I am visiting this ammmazing layout again after a few months. I notice so many beautiful, thoughtful details, especially the gravel/dirt road at 12:21. Its beautiful. So real. What a work of love and passion. Just beautiful. And yes, the trackwork is terrific. Thanks once again. God bless.
This is an awesome layout and just as awesome video
Watching with admiration and envy from Melbourne Australia. I was born in 1976. Still pictures in magazines don't do Tim's extraordinary work and skills justice. I look forward to the CTC feature next.
As someone who lives near Spokane and Seattle I think this is amazingly beautiful and accurate track
This is certainly a world class layout, but your commentary really brought it to life. Having a purpose for a layout gives realism, but your in-depth explanation of so much detail was fantastic. Great work all who were involved in this presentation. Cheers.
This is absolutely stunning. What an amazing layout. Wish I could see this in person, would be really fun to photograph!
Agreed! One of the best! -
I live in Spokane, it’s legit the exact same lol
Even better I live in hills yard, so I get train action
Jordan Axtman yeah

What a beautiful layout. At the top of any list of good layout design is that the railroad have a purpose. This layout certainly has that with several well detailed industries that it serves. The production of this video is excellent as well. The background music is appropriate and not distracting and the narrator enunciates clearly and is well paced.
Best layout tour video I have seen. Kinda looks looks a drone took the video’s. To me the thing that really stands out comparing this video to others I have seen is the quality of the narration. So many other videos I have seen are sometimes a little painful to listen to. The narration on this video was smooth as well as very informative. Great job.
Probably the best model Railroad ever built. This is incredible.
