    LAYOUT INFO: www.bnsfrr.net
    Welcome to the BNSF Fall River Division Layout! Today we'll visit and tour a spectacular modern HO scale BNSF railroad. I could've spent hours sharing countless details about the layout, but this brief tour will give you a general overview of the layout and how it operates. Thank you for watching, and please let me know if you have any other questions in the section below! I'd be happy to help. Out of respect for the layout owner's privacy, please refrain from sharing it's location if you know. :) Enjoy!!

    I had no idea model railroading could be this extreme. Holy crap this is impressive.

      The begging city background looks like Kansas City, went there a bit ago and the background looks so similar (prob not in KCK)

      Bro, this is an amazing layout and it’s mild compared to some of the stuff out there. I’m talking layouts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars or more!!

    I’ve been model railroading for over 35 years and never have I seen such a well put together model railroad, I can’t find the words to tell you how I feel about what I’m seeing. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

    The level of detail on this layout is amazing! Working on the real railroad for 20+ years, missing details on model railroads really standout to me. Extra details standout too; all the signs, signals, culverts, debris around industries, really makes a difference.

  • @DimensionMachine
    @DimensionMachine 4 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    The amount of time, effort, and dollars involved defies my grasp. I have no idea how one person, even with some help can pull something like this off. Surely is impressive!

    The forest sections and that rather broad river crossing--absolutely STUNNING

    wow! my dad is using his HO trains again. after 30years of being unused, and he feels like a little boy while watching them go... I just showed him this video for less than 5 minutes, because it's pretty late lol and we really thought this was a museum!
    Congrats on this amazing video and layout!! I have no words!!! my dad was pretty impressed too! he just couldn't believe it!
    greetings from Mexico!

    Thanks for this Josh. During my trip to the US in 2015 , I was very lucky to be invited to Mr Parker's house to see this wonderful layout. John is a true gentleman and Fall River is an amazing railroad and it was a highlight of my trip to the States.
    Cheers Gregg.

  • @stevehewitt4190
    @stevehewitt4190 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This layout illustrates it is the care and detail that are needed in modern modelling. What turned my eye was the river details at 8:56, the river looks wet and the bridge is real. Congratulations to the modelers of the whole scenic view and the trains just knit it all together.

    The welded rail train is unbelievable.If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and someone told me it existed, I'd of called them a liar

    • @WrightCraig01
      @WrightCraig01 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was fortunate enough to operate the welded rail train during the Rio Grande Historical Society Convention a couple of years ago. A spectacular layout that ran as good as it looks.

  • @lancered4234
    @lancered4234 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It's an inspirational layout but I groan when I think about the number of hours and dollars that have been spent getting it to this stage, but as we all know that a layout never really gets completed, there's always something that we want to change.lol. Credit to it's owner. Looking forward to seeing the trains running on this layout.

      I ran trains on the V&O of Allen McClellan. his layout was set in western Va. Close.
      I Began in the late 70s and ran there into the late 90s.
      His layout was even more detailed than this. Allen focused on lighting as a very important part.
      Considering this was over 40 years now. I miss those days. so much fun. BTW, Allen was made a MMR. Master Model Railroader.

    I really enjoy viewing these model railroad videos. I'm amazed, as are most folks, with the details and effort put in to making them look so realistic. Sure makes my under the tree train I have look "dinky"! Someone mentioned the expense of model railroading. I guess this money could be spent on other things but, we all need a vice, right? Mine is 54mm toy soldiers. A similar hobby that can run into some money. Very nice setup on this video.

    Most videos I watch, I can appreciate the time, effort, put into their "4x8"layout. (or L shape or what have you)
    But this... this was MIND BOGGLING! And people think the pyramids are a wonder... I'd love to know how many man hours went into this layout, it's absolutely stunning!
    I have to add- the commentator was... amazing? incredible? knowledgeable? outstanding? well spoken...well spoken does not give him justice, but his descriptions of what we were looking at, brought the scene to life. So kudos to the commentator, as well as the builders. Are there any videos/pictures of the layout being built? I would LOVE to see the construction side of such a massive undertaking!

    Really, a marvel for its dimensions and its operational options. It has a good and clean design. But surely the program to operate that layout will require a lot of people; unless it's computerized. Congratulations!!!!. I really enjoyed it. Thank you and greetings.

  • @yrunaked4
    @yrunaked4 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Clearly this was designed and built by a higher power. I now have to go out and try to find words to describe this and then try to put them into a sentence the begins to scratch the surface of just how amazing this model empire is. In my minds eye, I cant even begin to imagine the footprint of this layout, let alone the track plan. Thanks for sharing, Rob

    • @nightfury8440

    Unbelievable!
    I'll bet there are short lines that have a shorter length of trackage than the ACTUAL length of rail in this incredible layout.
    Thanks for showing it, and the link to (I assume) an operating session video.
