- This is an interview with the layout creator /owner Jim Brewer who is taking us on a guided tour of his incredible 3000Plus sq ft HO scale Shenandoah Valley Norfolk+Western HO railroad. Jim explains many of the layouts features and shows us many of the custom scratch-built structures built from actual prototype photos. The track planning and operations on this layout fully capture the flavor of what Jim is modeling and the scope, size and detail seen is incredible. We end our visit to this fabulous model railroad with a night time light tour of some of the impressive industrial complexes modeled and the town of Luray Virginia .
Absolutely mind blowing detail and historical accuracy
I remember seeing the article on building the Rayon plant in
Model Railroader some time ago, what a magnificent layout, thanks for the tour, both
of you, Al and Jim!!!!
Wow, all the years of hard work for this work of art.Truly a beautiful lay-out and the owner with his friends made something special.Bravo
This layout is what everyone dreams of having but few achieve it. He has done such an amazing job building and detailing the layout. Outstanding.
Thank you Jim for giving us a private tour ! Fantastic layout
I am really speechless. Thank you for sharing this master piece. I can only imagine the bonds that were built and fellowship amongst Hobbyists while working in this. Absolutely beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed it
This has a spectacular feel to it! Thanks for the full tour of all the finely detailed industrial locales and the terrific scenery and creeks and towns of the area in 1956.
There are many good model railroads and a few great model railroads. Then there are masterpiece model railroads of which there are just a handful. This is one.
Wow, speechless with that bi level station in Waynesboro. This is extra cool for me because about 3 years ago I became inspired to do this very thing although I am modeling modern time period of these exact same places
Outstanding layout for sure, I am a N&W fan, my grandfather retired from the N&W when i was about six years old. he got the drive one of the new diesel engines just before he retired.
I am in AWE over this Layout . I have been into HO Trains for almost 50 years , And have put together 17 layouts in my day . My last layout I donated to a fella that worked with Church Kids . Simply beautiful in many ways . 🚋🚆
Thank you for watching hope you subscribe to see more
Yes, you guys are correct. Industrial greatness. This is why we have railroads in America. The reason we should have model trains. IMO we should all model more industries. That’s why trains run.
And yes, that was one impressive staging area.
Bigger than most model railroads!!
One main question.,
How much for this whole layout?
Is he independently wealthy??
Thank you for sharing.
Wow….
It is not for sale . To have something custom built that size to that level would easily exceed 300 grand.
I am completely speechless! OMG!!! 😊
Really a beautiful layout, just magnificent. I seem to recall years ago someone built an entire layout based on that rayon plant, possibly in Railroad Model Craftsman.
wow that's mindboggling.
Very nice,aloha
Stunning work of art.
Amazing layout and content, great job Al
incredible layout. Well executed!!
Amazing ❤
I can attest to the stink from American Viscose/Avtek Fibers. One of their last projects was work for the Space Shuttle program. Then the EPA shut them down.
Please tell me you are making provision for this to be preserved.
I do not know but this is one reason why I do the channel as we have already lost way too many works of art
Don't know but nice ready made ones are online
Beautiful layout Jim wow😮😮😮 excellent 👌 job.. your on my top 5 for greatness.... did you build your own fences at 29:08 on the white board... I'm trying to make chain Link fences? Thanks, joe
Fences are made with brass wire and the stuff that women put under dresses to fill them out.
Brass wire and ass? Lol. Sorry, couldn’t stop myself. The layout is amazing.
Thule...any fabric store will have it@@derekalexander4030
I only knew him as a comedian. Who knew he was modeling trains??
