      I agree this is a total masterpiece...this guy is doing magic turning nothing into this absolute masterpiece of a layout..I never knew how amazing and real N gauge looks but in HO scenery...absolutely stunning and nothing short of magic.

      Wow.... I like how you put that... N scale in HO scenery. Cheers. -grant

    Inspiring. I've never thought about having so many elevations like a highway above the rails which are above a river. Thanks and continue the fantastic work!

      Thanks Tom. Fortunately the area being modelled offers the opportunity to include highway three above the railroad running along Summit Lake. Appreciate the visit. -grant

    Great scene… I like the aspens mix with pines, I looking forward to more videos covering scenery techniques.

      Thanks John. There are a bunch of detailed scenery videos in the members section covering various topics. In addition to the current backdrop series you can find topics such as rockwork, rip rap, river beds... tree placement for visual enhancement etc. Feel free to pop over and have a look at the channel. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. I really appreciate the comment. -grant

    Grant your layout proves that N scale is just as good, if not better than HO. Gentler curves, longer trains, etc. I always say if you get the right rolling stock in N its just as good as the HO counterparts. Really nice to see someone spend the time and effort to modifying N scale locos/rolling stock as well! We need more extremely prototypical N scalers like you and I!!!

    • @SouthernAlbertaRail
      @SouthernAlbertaRail  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey thanks! N scale certainly has it's advantages when it comes to curves and long trains. The cost is all the mods that have to be done to get trouble free operation. Products are getting better and better though so I find I'm not having to chop up the new stuff quite like I had to in the past! Cheers. -grant

      Thanks Boomer, still piles of work to go of course. Taking a breather before painting foreground trees and tackling Highway 3. And yes the nursery is at capacity. About 180 Aspens ready to hit the foam once the time comes... -grant

    I used to take the school bus from Sentinel to Coleman every morning, it's surreal to see it miniaturized like this. Amazing work. This makes me homesick.

      @SouthernAlbertaRail  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks, very cool story. The Crowsnest sticks with you. It's one of very few places I've been to that feels like home. Make sure to stop back in when I start work on Sentinel! Cheers. -grant

    Wow, great job! Looks amazing! I have been trying to figure out where you got your very scale peterbilt and Kenworth semi trucks. And also the "doubles" trailers. Are they kits or scratch built?

    • @SouthernAlbertaRail
      @SouthernAlbertaRail  ปีที่แล้ว

      The tractors are Trainworx special runs offered by Prairie Shadows. The Super B’s are scratch-built. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. -grant

      I spent many years looking down the hood of a 379 Pete and was blown away when they were offered. They are fantastic models. A future project will be tearing one apart to re-create the last truck I drove!

    Looks great Grant. I especially like the way you blended the scenery to the backdrop on the far side of the Hwy. Is that Hwy 3?

      Thanks John. It is indeed Highway 3.

    Looking good. A great visual blend between foreground and the backdrop. Always a difficult thing to get to look realistic. 3D to 2D is tough.

      It will when it's done. Far from finished at this stage. Not even paved yet!!
