Tour Kirk Thompson's Mullan Pass layout, an HO scale model of the Montana Rail Link's crossing of the Rocky Mountains. We have featured this layout before but share many new photographs of it. Kirk's operations mimic the MRL's handling of BNSF trains. You'll enjoy this unique layout and its impressive views of the pass, as well as switching in the city of Helena, Montana.

It sure is! The layout is pretty big, he built a building that looks like a depot to house the layout in. On top of all that has another HO Scale layout in his basement to boot that is about half the size or so :)

Super nice railroad there and an equally nice video; the prototypical speeds and sounds only enhance the experience. Tiny observation: having modeled a couple of the Klemme Coop grain hoppers (gotta love that pink paint scheme) in N scale, I've always had to scavenge from one decal set or another to find the comma that goes on the rib after "Klemme" (alas, some of the manufacturers who have produced models or decals for Klemme Coop have overlooked the comma). Look carefully and you'll find it on the prototype. Thanks for the upload.

What another beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful layout I am absolutely stunned I have never seen a railroad look so real if it wasn't for the lights on the ceiling I would have thought that was a real scene very nice work to detail on this layout and each railroad car probably cost you $100 a pop at least you can sometimes get them on sale for $55 $65 depending on what it is. But I have a Question what where those Bule locomotives in the Middle of that train at around 7mins then watch from that ponit on you will see bule engines what are they?

ok, how did you guys reduce the film grain? I've been filming on kirk's layout for quite some time and I always get grainy video and it's always super dark on my end.

@Tracksidemodelrailroading Жыл бұрын

We've been filming model railroads for over 10 years, over time we have bought a lot of equipment that allows us to shoot railroads even when good lighting is not there. Our first 4 years were grainy, and not very bright as well. Over time we figured out how to combat this issue and we shoot everything in fully manual mode, we don't allow the camera to do any auto-corrections.
