Excellent and Fantastic Operation. Above and Beyond!!! 20 to 22 operators, that’s got to be a lot of pizza and beverages!! Yes, lots of inspiration to make any of your sidings a gem on any layout.
An absolutely fantastic model railroad. Everything about this layout is first class from the design, to the construction, and to the end result. John Parker has taken model layout design and operation to the next level. Thank you for an informative video. Five stars! Mike Armstrong
THIS is what makes model railroading the "World's Greatest Hobby" indeed ! Utterly SUPERB the fantastic imagination that went into this every man's dream layout professionally run during operations. It must be overwhelming to behold such a masterpiece, BRAVO !!! Brilliantly executed indeed !!
I have to admit that this is one of the most realistic model railway layouts I have seen. I would love to film it one day if not take part in this exciting operation of this model layout. I love the BNSF trains. Thanks to John Parker for this masterpiece. Respect from Ireland.
Howzit : I was privileged to visit JP's Layout during the 2017 Narrow Gauge Convention ( Denver ) and to this day; I remain in awe and admiration for what has been achieved; a truly and completely overwhelming experience ! 🤙 PS : As a MR-er of many decades; I have no shame to admit that I got pleasantly LOST during the visit and am certain I was not the first and will not be the last ! 😁
BNSF Is my favorite RR, I’ve seen several people video your model rail road, this is the first time I think you personally talked about your RR, beautiful layout, design,detail, practicality, I would love to come and just watch the trains run, during a session 🙏🏽❤️❤️🙏🏽
Outstanding layout. John, your layout is my all time favorite. Bill, The Track Planner, made my track plan and mentioned your layout to me during the design process my track plan.
VERY impressive layout -- I love the use of modern technology in manifesting, communications, signaling, etc. Obviously takes way more money than usual, but a beautifully done, interesting layout
WOW John I am really impressed. I saw the layout progress several times years ago and now it has evolved way beyond what I saw previously. It is astounding. Great video.
Thank you TCG and John for the tour. This is an amazing layout. John said it best. You need the resources and skills to manage a large operating crew, volunteers, and the construction.
Having had the honor to see this layout three times including once operating on it, I have to assert that this is the hallmark of model railroad grand style to me. John and his gang have created a stunning example of just how far you can take it in this hobby. Good stuff!
Wonderful layout. Well measured and constructed layout representing modern railroading. Thanks to the John’s for bringing it to us. Tim from Perth, Australia.
Just listened to you on the "Around The Layout" podcast and had to come see what a mushroom layout was. Definitely not what I had pictured in my mind. Great video of a most impressive layout.. Most clubs I've been to have nothing on this one.
Just when you think you have seen some fantastic railroads, you guys arrive with this, OH MY WORD this is something else words fail me. The software, electronics, cctv, dispatch setup. I would love to know how you get the announcements to work. Not to mention the scenary and bridges are beautifully done. Take a bow guys this is pure genius 👍👍
I've never seen this design concept before where there are two separate elevations of the floor for segmented viewing. Pretty elaborate and very effective. The finished model railroad operates great and the benchwork is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Wow!! Thanks so much for this video. It's amazing to see a model railroad of this size. Everything is so well thought out. Love the long runs they are absolutely beautiful.
Model (??) railroading on the grand scale ! The real thing ! I bet it takes a full year of learning and training to operate safely and smoothly. Great layout, great accomplishment . Awesome !
Mr. Parket, this is the most impressive layout I have ever seen. I was wondering if BNSF or UP, ask you to start the training process for new operators. I worked on the old Penn Central during a summer college job. The railroad never left my DNA. I will recommend this layout whoever expresses interest in the railroad as a career. I teach as a Sub in Chicago area, and a lot of kids are looking for alternatives for work. If they see this and maybe a similar layout, might pique their interest. WELL DONE.
Holy cow, I have seen some huge layouts but they were cramped and too busy. This is next level compared to everything else I have seen. The time and money spent must be staggering.
If I had to choose a word to describe the layout it would either be, "elite" or "amazing." Thank you for sharing your layout and providing inspiration.
You do have a great Large HO layout. It is one of the best I have seen on TH-cam. Excellent video and would love to operate on it. Mike HO from Australia
Wow!! I can't wait until the technology offers mini color cameras which would be placed inside of the cabs of the power units: Imagine running a power unit, imaging from a computer/desktop/laptop/tablet/phone - watching and controlling 'your' train, viewing as it would appear from the cab. ON that note, my gosh - what a layout!! Thank you for the video.
Wow, yes, but perhaps not quite to that level of sophistication, perhaps still mini hand controllers (or the kb) from a tablet, but yes, super! Thank you. - @@tsgmultimedia
Ko mi è piaciuto moltissimo il tuo plastico la tua spiegazione è stata molto interessante hai veramente un gioiello di tecnologia poterlo vedere in pieno funzionamento che meraviglia bellissimo il convoglio trasporto binari un saluto sante è ver
Wow! Incredible layout! Love how serious you guys take this. This isnt just a hobby. You can actually learn something. Man, you put some MONEY into this layout! How much do you think you've invested in this layout to date?
I love this layout I’m going to build the same thing like is layout UP and BNSF and CP/KCS my layout is go to be Texas and Los Angeles California it’s going to be ho scale
Excellent video!! Excellent layout!! 2 questions (and you may have answered them in the video and I missed it), 1) how often do you have operating sessions, and 2) can you run a train all the way through the layout by just yourself wout anyone else being present?..
We try to operate monthly. That usually happens. A train can be run around at anytime. The layout is designed as a large “loop,” so trains can be run through staging and back on the layout. No one else needs to be present.
@@bnsfbuff …that’s my din of layout. Congrats!! You’ve done a superb job. If you can in the future, do show a complete “around the loop” train. It would be interesting to see it, and see how long it takes. Again, congrats!!! 👏👏👏
Excellent and Fantastic Operation. Above and Beyond!!!

All of us that want a empire such as this should be so fortunate.
Agreed, that is my dream someday. May it happen to us all.

Unbelievably thorough. I felt like I was at work

very very impressed . makes me want to get out and work on my layout some more and keep getting it fully built
This is absolutely amazing, looks so fun to do the operations on
Legit layout. The best private layout I’ve seen.

Fantastic. At first I thought this was a club layout
Wow! Very impressive! Nice work, John!
This is amazing! Probably the most realistic layout I've seen! I don't ever remember seeing anyone model a welded rail train!
This guy is not messing around. Wow. I'm surprised I haven't heard of this layout. This needs to be in all of the magazines. Maybe I missed it...?
Wonderful, John. I can't wait to share this with the members of the Boulder Model Railroad Club who haven't been to see it yet.
Sounds great!
This was an awesome tour John! Thank you for sharing this amazing masterpiece with us!
Thank you for the great show and so many new ideas form Germany.
I've never seen this design concept before where there are two separate elevations of the floor for segmented viewing. Pretty elaborate and very effective. The finished model railroad operates great and the benchwork is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Just magnificent. Thank you TSG for recording this work of art
Thank you again John for allowing me to come visit your layout yesterday with George, Jerry, and Jimmy. Truly a spectacular layout.
Totally mind blowing! I could only dream of having such a layout with all the technology included.
What an incredible layout! I can’t imagine what went into doing all the wiring.
Wow!! Thanks so much for this video. It's amazing to see a model railroad of this size. Everything is so well thought out. Love the long runs they are absolutely beautiful.
It seems like John has thought of everything, doesn't it?
Such an impressive layout, thanks for sharing your experience with us. I'm excited to build something like this when I'm older.
You can do it!
OMG! i waited ages for something like that! this is AWESOME!!! huge respect to Mr. Parker and thanks for making this video TSG !
Simply breathtaking. Well done!

A beautiful layout and one of the best operations layouts period. Bruce Friedman CSX Philly Sub.
Beautiful layout
It really is!
your layout is absolutely awesome I love it god bless give us more videos thank you so much.
Very cool! Great looking BNSFs!
Really well done - I think the best I have seen.
Very impressed. Over the top and wonderful.
Glad you like it!
Great video John ! Was a pleasure visiting it during your open house. Amazing job.
Holy cow, I have seen some huge layouts but they were cramped and too busy. This is next level compared to everything else I have seen. The time and money spent must be staggering.
Just Wow. Love this RR.
A cab ride on this layout would be phenomenal!
Stunning layout, sure looks huge and is well thought out!
This is insane how much work had to go into this project. How could anyone possibly top this?
That was the most beyond impressive layout I have ever seen whether in person or video!!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent layout sr brilliant idea concept realistic in every way 👏
If I had to choose a word to describe the layout it would either be, "elite" or "amazing." Thank you for sharing your layout and providing inspiration.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Anyone who has an opportunity to participate in 1 of your sessions is lucky indeed.
Fantastic layout. Thanks for the video... Would be nice if the TSG logo was a little less obtrusive, though.
You can thank content thieves for the watermark!
I would love to visit this layout. I don't have my own layout. But I primarily run BNSF/MRL on my local club layout.
Impressive work of art.
You do have a great Large HO layout. It is one of the best I have seen on TH-cam. Excellent video and would love to operate on it. Mike HO from Australia
Excellent layout. Thank you for sharing.
Incredible! Beautifully done.
Wow!!!! Don’t know how I missed this video. Awesome layout John , I’m really going to do my best to get out there and see this masterpiece in person.
What an awesome layout, love BNSF!!! -Ken
Fantastic trip. You have a great layout.
예전부터 보던 레이아웃인데, 자세한 설명 한국어로 천천히 오래 보도록 하겠습니다. 고맙습니다~^^
Insane detail and locomotives, love the layout
Such an awesome layout, love the BNSF Fall River videos. I wish my layout looked half as good as theirs!
Wow!! I can't wait until the technology offers mini color cameras which would be placed inside of the cabs of the power units: Imagine running a power unit, imaging from a computer/desktop/laptop/tablet/phone - watching and controlling 'your' train, viewing as it would appear from the cab.

You mean like this?

Since the Fall River Division is not far from the OC&E, I'm sure we could arrange a visit of the camera car and a ProtoThrottle.@@tsgmultimedia
@@billkepner6972 Thanks Bill we always look forward to spending time in Colorado!
Nicely presented & a really cool layout 🚦🚂 👍
I am in awe...OMG, incredible..
Beautiful layout, thanks for the update.

What a great out , BNSF the best to model in USA prototype
Would love to know where can get the rail wagons and loads from
Cheers from downunder
This is awesome 🙏
Fantastic!!!!!
I would love to operate on that layout
NICE LAYOUT
My Favorite!
Wow! Incredible layout! Love how serious you guys take this. This isnt just a hobby. You can actually learn something. Man, you put some MONEY into this layout! How much do you think you've invested in this layout to date?
Awesome presentation on this beautiful layout John! Thank you for sharing! Will yoj be attending the nmra show in Dallas?
Thanks! I’ll be in Dallas the entire week….
@bnsfbuff excellent! Hopefully we can run into each other. I'm hosting a clinic on Saturday but other than that I'll be running around lol
Looks awesome how old were you when you started and what got you started
I love this layout I’m going to build the same thing like is layout UP and BNSF and CP/KCS my layout is go to be Texas and Los Angeles California it’s going to be ho scale

Awesome layout. It looks like endless fun to operate. One question, what do you do to keep all the track clean?
I keep the layout room clean (finished ceiling and carpet helps). I occasionally clean the track and all wheels using mineral spirits.
Any info on wiring the E switch for a key to unlock mainline switches?
Wow
All my switches will be electric locked on my main cus CSX mainline switches can only be activated by the dispatcher
A+++
I WISH WE WERE NEIGHBORS
