Doug Ramos On3 Layout Tour for NNG 16 Feb 2021

Doug Ramos shows his O scale modeling masterpiece of a train layout, called the "Poverty Gulch & Opulence RR." The presentation includes pictures of his many detailed buildings, trestles and scenery, and includes tips about his modeling techniques and design process. At the end there is some interesting Q&A with the live audience.
This clinic was part of the third in a series of layout tours, clinics and vendor presentations that are being presented by a group of avid narrow gage modelers around the world calling themselves "National Narrow Gage" (NNG.groups.io). We have started this series of presentations called "Off the Beaten Track" to capture layouts located in remote areas that are not likely to be included in future in-person model railroad conventions that may occur after the pandemic is over, as well as informative clinics and vendor updates of interest to the railroad modeling community.
The video was recorded on 16 February 2021, and edited by Burr Stewart. For additional videos in this series "Off the Beaten Track" see the rest of the section of this TH-cam channel. If you enjoyed this presentation, consider joining us at groups.io/g/nng.

I’m so glad to see another On3 layout in California! We sure are fair and far between

This is great incentive for me as I'm just getting started building my own On2 SR&RLRR. Would love to visit your layout sometime!

This is some of the very best scenery and structures I've seen. It's amazingly realistic and each scene can stand on its own. It really captures the flavor of a mining area.Your attention to detail looks realistic and natural. The track layout looks realistic and purposeful. I'm out of model railroading now but even in my prime, this is far beyond anything I ever built or imagined. You have wonderful lighting and photography skills too. This layout has a big WOW factor!
