The mixed use of bridge types and rock formations make this very real as it feels like the train is really traveling across the country.

Not only is the layout first class but the video is as well. Would love to see the track plan.

I like the way you rolled car into the grade shot. it gave it a little realism.

This layout is amazing.

Awesome layout. It has some great details, great variety of motive power(covered wagons!), New York Central rolling stock, the Penn Central trailers on the flatcars, a Volkswagen Beetle with a split rear window. BN 1976 is a beautiful unit. Great stuff!

Definitely one of the best layouts I've ever seen. Good shooting, too.

That is one nice layout! The gates really surprised me when the gate itself had the marker lights on it. You dont see that to often as far as ive seen! Really impressive!

Great layout and model work by Tim Dickinson but even BETTER videography and editing by Craig-M and crew! Shout out to Mr. DeeDubya Federiconi!

VERY nice, looks almost real!! 👍🏻

Great stuff!

Absolutely fabulous layout and workmanship. I loved the run and look forward to more. Mike Fifer

I find it hard to believe that there are people that thumb this wonderful video down.

So very realistic & great detail.

this is definitely a layout that you can visit numerous times, look at the same spot in the layout numerous times, and still see details you missed the first time! very nice!

Very nice detail.....Well done....Ride along's are always a way to enjoy the time put into detail you may not see at all from layout viewing....Mark

Nice railroad layout and train!

Some very nice details with shots of track signals, drainage over passes etc . Thanks for sharing.

Awesome layout! Superb camerawork!

This railroad is astonishing. The videography is just terrific. I mean, it looked so real! Automobiles coming to a stop as the trains moved through. That was very cool. But, as a newbie looking for ideas, I wish there had been an overview of the layout. Something to let a rookie see the scope of the layout. I really have no idea what this layout looks like. A few more minutes at the beginning or the end showing the layout at a distance letting us see it would have been wonderful.

Hats off 2 U gentalmen, layout created 'n' 1976, Simply beautiful, God bless u............

Great layout of one of my most favorite railroads. I’m an N scaler, my model railroad is the Pacific West Coast model railroad. My railroad will cover & focus on the entire West Coast from Tijuana,Baja California Norte to Vancouver, British Columbia,Canada & it will cover the last 25 years of the 20th. Century from August 22, 1974 when I arrived in San Diego for duty aboard my second ship in the Navy and all the way to the end of 1999.

OMG, this is as real as it gets. I feel as if I was standing beside the tracks watching the action, this is one awesome layout!

Finally another video, been waiting a long time for this...

Incredible and so realistic!

Exc modeling, particularly the track work and track-side.features. "Low" camera perspective lends a lot of credibility, especially without the shaky lens, super-speed pans, and back ground babble we get from most offerings. . Terrific examples all around.

Awesome job on the train layout and video. Would love to see this in person.

Very breathtaking layout! We are a new club that are in the process of constructing our first model farm and model train layout. We love watching train videos on here. Please keep posting more videos. Thanks so much for posting it.

One of the best HO sets I've ever seen

I would LOVE to get back into this hobby. Needless to say, the detail work is absolutely amazing on this particular layout. The bicentennial must be a rare model to acquire, and to see it heading two units in the standard green livery was a great touch. Nice video.

Beautiful layout, I really love all the detail.

Incredible shoots, so many of them !! A masterpiece from 3.24 to 3.39 that impressed me the most.

One of, if not the nicest layout I've ever seen. Exceptional camera work as well. Who in their right mind would give this video a thumbs down?

Beautiful layout and excellent camera work.

This doesnt look like a model railroad.. It looks like a real railroad. Excellent Job on this.

Nice work guys!

Very nice layout and operation. I grew up living next to the mainline BN track in Prairie du Chien WI. Between Mini/St. Paul & Chicago. Watched a lot of real cool stuff roll thru from the mid 70's to late 80's!

Fantastic layout Tim. I can really appreciate all the wayside and subtle scenery details.

Great video of an outstanding layout. Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to seeing another video.

07:35 - the river is awesome! Very cool model layout, pretty good details - love it.

Good work guys thanks for sharing. I especially enjoyed the cars coming into the scenes. Nice touch.

Nice video. Excellent layout. Thanks for sharing.

This is absolutely cool!

Nicely layout!

Very good job on this layout. I especially like the crossing gates, they move at a realistic speed and the flash pattern is spot on. Keep up the good work and always have fun doing it.

This layout is amazing! Probably the best I've ever seen.

nice detail with the grass

Damn! I could watch this all day!

Truly remarkable detail. A fine work of art!

Great model railroad! Excellent detail. Im suprised about how few BN model railroads I see on KZfaq. There should be more. Again great job. Thanks for this video.

GREAT Video! Thank you for the hard work to make us aspire to create and remember these wonderful railroads.

Very cool video, thanks for sharing.

I've always found it quite odd how so many model railroaders work so hard on their layouts when it comes to all the fine realistic detailing that they do, yet very few hardly ever string the utility poles which I've found rather easy to do. I think the utility poles being wired adds so much more reality to the layouts and yet so few actually complete that part of the detailing??? This is a wonderfully detailed layout and the operation is very realistic. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!! I hope we do this again soon!! I love this!!

Enjoyed the videography & the layout. Thx for posting the video.

Nice. Lots of work in this. But a great job.

What a fantastic layout. You have a wonderful eye for detail. Thank you for the tour.

nice job I thought it was real at first

Superb layout! And the effect of the auto pulling up to the grade crossing at 7:20 is really nice. So often, vehicles are just totally static from one scene to another. Good job!

The "B" train! Great setup.

Amazing!

nice layout and nice video!

Just awesome

Very nice layout my compliments sir and thank you for sharing

Very cool. I love it. Great detail.

I have watched your video many times. Love your layout!

A very fine Video Production! Presentation of model trains, speed, background, eye interest, ( appeal ) and sound were beautifully coordinated. This model of video performance should receive an award, and some day, KZfaq may consider establishing awards for really quality workmanship in many categories.

VERY nice landscape. I'm impressed. Very realistic. En very well filmed, too. TOP JOB !! Great video and great track.

wracają wspomnienia gdy byłem u swojej babci wchodziłem na balkon i patrzyłem na pociągi naprawdę to robi wrażenie

Thumbs up to this!!! Great stuff!!!

awesome layout details rolling stock, my compliments Sir

Hi Graig Great video and fantastic layout. Well done to all involved. Regards Rod Warren

I really love this layout. Good work!

Looks so real keep up the great work love the BN railway and today BNSF

Nice job

7:11 "TORNADO! **EEYAAAAGHH**--no, wait...never mind." Seriously, though--what a brilliant work of art! With all of the incredibly minute details, that layout is nothing less than a masterpiece.

Somebody make that man a YT Channel bravo!!!!!

awesome train video

Tim used to work with you at UPRR West Colton Yard. Nice set up.

Beautiful!

Nice level of detail.

Well I might as well quit working on my layout ,you did everything I would have done (perfect)

Very Nice.

Who are the fools with the thumbs down. I bet they are greenies and think the railroad will disturb the slumber of the "Great Horned Owl".

Very Realistic!! :)

So cool

this is very impressive work

I am at a loss for words and that doesn't ever happen.

Great vídeo.

beautiful!

BEAUTIFUL

Will create playlist on my channel for your great videos.

Very realistic :)

Awesome, no other word for it... obviously you're a perfectionist so how do you know when to say stop, enough detail already?! if I could place myself into your shoes I'd most likely spend all day just on exhaust pipe(s) of that green vw van @ 4.20 mark! As for the addition of smoke a lot of people seem to think would be the ultimate final touch, you're a thousand times beyond my experience in modelling, but with my limited knowledge and just going by what my older brother tried on his model set 30+ years ago, smoke/steam never looked right as there's no wind, breeze, etc., if anything it made the experience of using your imagination less so, so my two bits? no smoke... all is perfect anyways.

I love the videos of this layout! I really wish we could see the track plan though. Someone seriously needs to do an article on Tim's layout in one of the trade publications.

Great details, not overdone, thought it was rael at first glance!

DAMN (-!!!-) 😨 That bleep looks REAL... effin 🎆AWESOME 💥

whoa.....words escape me...

I like the up loco

I love it

I told Tim next time we need brake lights on the auto at the road crossing.
