Per Laursens is one of the very few layouts I'm impressed with. Its not cluttered with redundant track everywhere, curves followed by more curves, decently fast trains and modern era of course.

My favorite HO Scale layout - undoubtedly. Just so incredibly realistic on a modern timeline.

Crossing gates malfunction at 2:06 better notify BNSF maintenance . Lovely layout, and the story of the train and more. Crossing gates a little slow at 4:20 LOL

I like the tamping machine. I hadn't seen a functional one in scale models before. Your layout is impressive too.

I could watch a full length feature film of this stuff.... Excellent!

Arguably the best HO scale layout I’ve ever seen. Love the modern feel and keeps the track to scenery and other aspects real and not overcrowded.

If a bit more light was added to make it seem like sunlight then I wouldn’t think it was models. Excellent video and excellent work😊

This layout, and the way you film it, makes me feel like a kid again, filled with wonder and imagination. Thanks for posting!

Beautiful job and I think the realistic sound just make the model look more realistic

So fun to railfan!!! Thanks for the awesome video!

This might be my favourite layout to watch your videos on. Per Laursen really did a fantastic job on his layout. Those buildings and details really make it come to life.

This is one of the best layouts I ever seen...!

I like the longer shots of the full train, no skipping or switching scenes. Really cool otherwise, great work

Very cool. It is so real it's crazy.

Beautiful layout. Thanks for sharing. Dave

Nice one Josh...good to see the Utah Belt action. All those fast food signs and places, sure make a railfan hungry. Next time.....Later 👋

I'm a UK modeller and this was so fun to watch! I appreciated the voice over explaining what was going on - so thank you! I was recommended your channel by Western Signalman and it hasn't disappointed!

Great! More footage from one of my favorite layouts.

Love the layout and your scenery and detailing. One of my subscribers mentioned your channel. Glad I found it. Lots to binge watch. He also mentioned you have a good video on making an abandoned track. Could you post a link? I’ll look for it also. Thanks. Looking forward to watching your posts. Paul B

❤ Awesome 👍😎

Awesome 👍

This one with John Parker are my 2 favorite layouts

my emd brain cannot comprehend the amount of gevo's in this video

BNSF grain train is my favorite cool layout

Great sound editing. Love the GE rumble 💪

Another great video , Per's layout is amazing . Thanks for sharing !

Hi Josh. Really enjoying this series as the coal train works its way east. Have an awesome day!

I like it just the way it is. Miss my HO set up , sold it all when I needed my first car. 😮‍💨 .

Very nice video Josh. Just a quick thought, when will the next video on your layout be next? (No rush or anything, just wondering)

😂😂😂The MOW ! Nice

1:28 I don’t know why but the train just seems so real, and I thought you added a real train in the background while you had the trucks laid out in the grass😅

MUY BUENO...EXCELENTES LAS TOMAS SE VE MUY REALISTA. LAS LOCOMOTORAS SE UTAH ESTAN BUENISIMAS. DESDE ARGENTINA TE SALUDO, SIEMPRE MIRO TUS VIDEOS. SOY FANATICO DEL ESQUEMA NORFOLK AND SOUTHERN.

That ballast tamper looks awesome!! Do you know who makes that by chance? -Will

We nicked named these grain trains earthworms a long time ago. We still had cabooses on the rear of the trains.

Nice

How much does the Model Earthworm weigh? The layout looks incredible. Love the cinematography!

I thought I've seen that layout before

i want a layout like this so bad now 😭

It's so refreshing to watch a model train being run at a realistic speed for a change! Putting aside all the trains we see at shows which are run too fast, what I'm getting tired of are all the operators who run their trains too slowly! There's some sort of false sense in the hobby that the slower you run your train, the more "serious" you are. Yeah, but no. This video shows the correct speed.

I see these loading at ruffrail!

Is it just me, or does the scaled velocity of the BNSF loco seem a bit fast? A few railroad crossing barriers had timing issues, too!

i work as an enginer for wisconsin southern i am formerly a CP/DMNE eng marquette iowa

Great job and the sounds are awesome 👏

❤

that is summit model train videos layout

Griswold at 2:01.

Hello ,very amazing layout ,nice trains.One question please; I use JMRI for my locos in DCC,but it's impossible to synchronize the same speed for 2 locos ,always one run faster .what systeme you use for run exactly at the same speed ? thank you so much for your answer ,have nice day ,at all modelers ,see you soon .

Hey Josh

If this was a Houston to Fort Worth train, it most likely wouldn’t be loaded unless it was coming from the PTRA North Yard. From there, it would be G-PTNNYF. However if it came from the BNSF Houston Yard it would have been empty and thus X-HOUNYF.

What recommendations do you have for fixing the brake hoses on cars that keep getting caught in switches or stopping on crossovers. I have several cars giving me issues and I can’t get them to bend out of the way and was hoping to fix them for flawless running

Do you ever run midship DPUs on the grainer???

All the sound effects, are they from the built in speakers in the rigs or are there additional speakers within the benchwork that supplement or produce the actual sounds?

Where did you get the mow service train at ?

Hey hope this message finds you, do you know what can motor scale trains uses in there locomotives or where to buy them, I have contacted scale trails but no luck. Thanks!

Does it go through Bastrop?

Who makes the working tamper looking to get one for my layout

What power plant is that coal train headed to?

Where is this layout?

Waffle House and a Dollar General @ 5.30 or so. Now that's attention to detail that sells it!

There's police in front of the Waffle House. Another incident? 😛

Live train sounds dubbed over annoying and takes away from the model aspect. Otherwise the layouts are amazing

There's only 1 thing missing the graffiti on the grain cars..only because I see it every day at work🫡
