- The Union Pacific Railroad Geneva Subdivision is an N Scale model train layout in its 11 year of construction. The layout is built for operations with many fun ops session successfully completed and many more yet to come. In addition to realistic model train operations, the layout strives to follow the actual Union Pacific as prototypical as possible.
This episode features scenery work just west of the BNSF/UP crossing in Rochelle. Special effects are used in merging the end of the BNSF tracks and a road into the backdrop.
Daryl,
You did a great job of forced perspective there. Enjoyed the cab ride bonus!!
That's cool how you placed the trees to force the view you want to show.
Looks great, really like the photos blended into the backdrop. You can’t tell they are there and did a great job. I’ll have to get creative like that in a few areas of my layout when I get to scenery. Thanks for sharing. - Steve
Daryl, Great job blending the two photos into the layout. It's amazing how trees can help break the viewpoint and add to the blending of the backdrop. Nice job! Tony
Daryl, hope you and the family have a great Thanksgiving holiday. I thought I could hear the " Party" all the way from here.Cheers, Chris Perry.
LOL The Del Monte plant !! I have spent many an hours at that place as a Truck driver. For La Grou Distributions, which is located at the other end of town. Nice people to work with while loading or unloading at Del Monte. THX ...
Yep. The real warehouse is about 10 time bigger than the one on my layout. Glad you recognized it though!
really nice blending of the modeled portion into the backdrop. Many times these don't stand up to realy close scrutiny, but they really don't have to! The mission is to fool the eye of a casual observer, and your work does that VERY well. It really adds the depth to that scene, which is important because the famous crossing at Rochelle draws attention.
Daryl from time to time in the past you've done "How I Do" videos .. one day in the future when you plan on adding some photo backdrop as you've done in this one would you consider doing a how to on that project? The process of capturing, manipulating and then using a photo from google earth or wherever you capture it from would be very interesting. You surely pulled off a great photo used backdrop in this video..well done. You should be proud. Tom
Daryl, You can tell it's a great day in Paradise when you post the latest Geneva Sub video. The latest scenery work is way above my pay scale. Just magic. Cheers, Chris Perry.
Being retired and working on the layout whenever I want is pretty awesome and seems like paradise. Sometime I feel guilty :)
@@EvanstonSub From a selfish standpoint .. I'm glad you are doing well on retirement.. your videos.. are even better than they were when you were working.. Thanks for retiring..lol.
@@EvanstonSub Daryl, Don't feel guilty, just enjoy it. If your snowed in today you might have time to run some trains.But trains from West Colton this morning are running about 4hrs. late to start the run east. So you might not see a train for awhile. Cheers, Chris Perry.
Pulled off that tricky backdrop really well...keep up the cool scenery I love it
Thats crazy how the road, and tracks look good from one angle and not the other.
Excellent video bud!
Daryl, they look great, you did one heck of a job and it really paid off can't see any reason to look for any other way you could have done it, like the cab ride too, just wondering what kind of camera you are using....thanks for sharing....Jack 😃
coole!!!!
Hi Daryl. Is the caboose at 9 mins 30 secs part of that house's garden?
It's a BnB.
What Happened To The BNSF Loop?
What camera did you used for the cab ride. Great video.
