This is truly amazing railway modelling, I can't get over the brilliant attention to detail on these layouts, I look at the buildings and bridges and I am in awe of these people and what fantastic Videography as well to show us these delightful layouts in such closeness and detail, Superb stuff.
I have enjoyed your video and it really helps me with my recovery from my brain tumour and stroke as I try to get back to my modelling I mention my illness so you know who is watching and why thank you 😂
I keep coming back to this layout for the amazing representation of forest floor litter and clutter. Excellent presentation. Mine is a small yet highly detailed logging layout. Only 4’x8’ and is movable on wheels, tipped up it will go through a 2’4” door opening when removed off the wheeled frame. I’ve seen way too many excellent workmanships that have to be destroyed to get it out of the building. Thanks for this posting.
I agree with all the other comments; this is absolutely brilliant. I'm a life long model railroader and love what has been created here. Who wouldn't? My own favorite aspect of the video itself is the sound. Being a long-time recording engineer and film sound specialist, I well know that sound can make or break any production. And honestly, if I just squint a little bit, and with a good set of headphones on, I am right in the middle of the original, actual, full size scene of, what, about 130 years ago? I would not have been too surprised to see an actual person walk out of one of the buildings with a wrench and oil can in hand!
WOW , simply Amazing the skills that some modelers have . Between the realism & the sounds , it makes the viewer seem like there are actually there . Could watch over & over , so much detail . Love those old Steam Locomotives . Thanks for sharing .
SImply stunning! When I read the title my thought was this is just a "lets get as many clicks as possible" ploy but upon viewing I am in solid agreement. I, as I'm sure many others am captivated by the late Geoff Knott's work and this is right up there with it! Thanks for sharing. Love the "hundreds of tree's concept"! Will be revisiting this vid many times for inspiration for my own project.
I had to watch this video full screen then watch it again... It reminded me of the time I spent in Tuolumne ... No trains.. but the tracks were there to guide the imagination of a young man.. Great work.. top to bottom... Now to watch it again..
People who build train layouts with this level of detail are nothing short of being master artists!! I wish I could do this. I am good, but this is a whole different level. Absolutely incredible. Thanks guys so much for sharing.
You boys down under just kill me. Its like you guys went into the past shot a video of a day on the railroad came back to our time and posted that video. You guys leave nothing un done, the engine sounds, the scenery, the over all everything, is just mind blowing. You people have inspired me from the first time I found one of your video. This is absolutely as perfect as you can have it. Job beautifully done, THX
Wow wow wow I have ridden a lot of real steamers through the mountains but your layout looks more real than theres does. Great job I love your trees and detail work Love it
Beautiful modeling, exquisite use of sound effects (not just trains sounds but birds, chain saw, etc) & above all camera work that does not spoil the realism! Most videographers never heard of a tripod or slow dissolves.Other aspects worth noting are eye-level views, great depth of field & not shooting "off set". Outstanding work by all!
this shows shays . climaxes and heislers in all their glory. moveing at really slow speed. toqure and power rather than high speed is their game . thanks for posting 1000 points for thee.
I am only about ten minutes into this and what I have seen and heard is stunning. You know the modeling is fine when you cannot discern what scale it is. The sounds of the Shays you use, I have that recording and I play it while my big Bachman Shays on my layout. My wife, profile photo, knows when I am in railroad heaven when she hears them Shays grinding and hammering away on what was the Cass lumber company.
I think the biggest problem with this layout is, its not in my basement, other wise it is truly one of the most realistic I have seen. I am like you I love thick forest and yours is so real looking, I am so awed by the trees you make. Do you have a video on the tree? The turntable bridge and your buildings are a perfect stress look right on money I love this layout thanks for sharing
@@robyntaylor6596 Hi Robyn, credit can not be made to Australia this time. This layout was built in my home town of Spokane WA, in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. It was crafted by a few very talented modelers in the basement of our local hobby shop for a train show in Seattle WA. There are some amazingly talented people in the USA too, we have filmed over 200 layouts just in the Pacific Northwest alone.
@@Tracksidemodelrailroading sorry, my mistake it looks similar to a layout called Leigh Creek. Wonderful modelling and a credit to those involved in its construction.
Wow !!!. What really has impressed me most were the trees; they are awesome !. Would you be so kind in telling me how this trees are made ? or what is the company that manufactures them ?. Thanks in advance, and many greetings from Chile, John.
Oh man , If i lived in that cool little track side village and you were blowing the horn like that ... for sure you woulda got a rrock in the side of your face . Outstanding layout .
EXCELLENT, the first bridge the train crossed, was that model after any special bridge or is that your own idea, very cool, love your sounds great great job
Are you sure this is all narrow gauge? At 0:39, you show a Climax with Walcharets valve gear. I believe this was only incorporated into the standard gauge Climax locos. Until 1915, all Climax Locomotives used the Stephenson valve gear. At this time it was replaced by the Walschaerts valve gear on all sizes of forty-five tons and larger. I do not believe there were any forty-five ton Climaxes built for narrow gauge. I would be very happy to be wrong because I freelanced a small narrow gauge Climax in G scale live steam with Walcharets valve gear and would love to find a prototype matching it.
Why didn't you name the model railroad? This is Hangman Creek Lumber Company, for those wondering. Built by Jess Dozier, Jim Smith, Stan Oxendahl and Tom Jennings

I wish you well.
Wonderful. There is just one thing missing to complete the illusion, and that is to film it in natural daylight, but that's probably not an option.
I can not begin to comprehend the commitment something like this requires. Absolutely stunning!

4’ x 8’ to this level of detail is amazing in my book!
What a wonderful piece of art 🖼!!! Absolutely stunning perfect 👌 craftsmanship!!!!
This is excellent! Hats off to the owner and to the presenter! If my layout is 1/10th as good as this, I'll be really pleased!
Ambience is everything! Love the Mill sounds and cracking wood!
that scenery and those trestles are amazing and so are the sound effects of the birds etc.

The most beautiful layout I have ever seen
Extraordinary scenery. What piece art. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, the 4 guys that built this layout are true masters of the art of fine scale!
@@Tracksidemodelrailroading Thank you for your comment. This is museum quality and all the best ! Canada.
Buongiorno! Mi piacciono molto questi spettacolari paesaggi.super lavoro.complimenti
Encantado de escucharte disfrutar de las películas!
Really, this is one of the best!
Beautiful work! Love the sound effects. Really adds to the realism.

That is about as real as it gets, great model railroad, It's like being there.

Ross Waters - Is the website GONE? It's not coming up for me, after a few attempts...
Dang fine Layout! The title is right.

Wonderfully restful to watch.
Absolutely incredible!

An excellent video. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. ♡ T.E.N.
Stunning and so realistic!!!!! You are a fantastic modeler. Thank you for sharing!!!
Amazing layout
Great work. So many details and realism. . it takes you back to a slower paced day. Thanks.
wow top notch as usual excellent craftsmanship complements from canada,

I love all the soinds. The birds chirping.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
A really outstandig sample of great 'Waldbahn'.
Seriously how do you get such a pure sound on the locos and there whistles, there as perfect as I have ever heard
Wonderful artistic and realistic m,odelling..what patience, skill and time and devotion to create this magnificent layout.
Stunning modelling. What really sells it were others lose out is how steady the train moves, giving a real sense of weight and inertia.
Just stunning I am in awe and envy .
Wow wow wow I have ridden a lot of real steamers through the mountains but your layout looks more real than theres does. Great job I love your trees and detail work Love it
Fantastic job on detail!

😍😍😍 Vraiment magnifique !! Quel beau travail 😃
Excellent training. Cheers!
Man that whistle sounds amazing
Wow,that is impeccable! Plus fantastic camera work
I love this layout 😍 the different scenes are really Realistic. My favorite view: when the log train passes on a bridge under another one 👍
This is amazing
Thats really beautiful.
Incredible model railroad
I was able to see this layout at the Narrow Gauge Convention in Seattle a few years ago.
Awesome!
this shows shays . climaxes and heislers in all their glory. moveing at really slow speed. toqure and power rather than high speed is their game . thanks for posting 1000 points for thee.
wow that's really cool in model railroading
I am only about ten minutes into this and what I have seen and heard is stunning. You know the modeling is fine when you cannot discern what scale it is.

Thanks. Great Video and Layout.Mmmmmmmm
WOW MAN THATS AWESOME WOW
L&S enjoyed your work
A superb layout
Spellbinding !! ... "Hangman Creek" !! ... Love it !!
Very nice. I've seen this many times. Very nice. But, I wish the focus was on and the sound was synchronized. All the best!
We agree, this was some of our earliest work and we didn't have the lighting and video gear we have today to make the shoot better.
The scenery is so well done that in the initial shot I thought maybe this was a garden RR. Ronn
They've got some great whistles on these.
Love the layout, and the fact u used audio from cass
Sounds just like a Recording of the Whistles from CASS SCENIC RAILROAD and those Wonderful Shays they have.
So was von realistisch 👍 Klasse 👏🤩
Well, I think the title of this video is accurate!!! Amazing!!!
Phenomenal!

Wow just wow 👏 😍 beautiful
Now all the scene needs is for the engine to smoke, and maybe some dialog with the crew.
American narrow gaugers really do set the top mark that's for sure!-Amazing work.
This was built by an Australian modeller
Australia is just the deepest part of the American south.

Awesome seaney
it sounds good
very nice, I love your trees. Do you have a video on how you made them by chance?
😊 просто великолепен макет впечатляет
Love the bird song
Omg very nice amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
What scale is this layout?
O Scale
Beautifull
Absolutely incredible, I love the trees and the scenery, they are by far some of the best Ive seen. How do you make your trees?thx
At 3:20 on the video. What whistle chime was that. Cause I really like that whistle
Wow !!!. What really has impressed me most were the trees; they are awesome !.
Would you be so kind in telling me how this trees are made ? or what is the company that manufactures them ?.
Thanks in advance, and many greetings from Chile, John.
***** Thank you very much Ross. Pity this magazine is not available in my country, but thanks any way. Cheers, John.
***** O.K. Thank you. I'll do a little research. I'm from Chile (South America). Cheers, John.
Oh man , If i lived in that cool little track side village and you were blowing the horn like that ... for sure you woulda got a rrock in the side of your face . Outstanding layout .
The only thing missing is a little smoke from the locomotive
just WOW.. 😊😊😊😊
from which manufacturer are the log car..??
Not sure, I know Jess casts a lot of parts so he may had made them.
What monster puts the cool side of the shay out of view??
Supervisor 👍 🤝
Was the sound part of the layout or added in after?
In any case it sounds amazing.
The whistles sound like Cass Scenic whistles.
All sounds were dubbed in using sounds from a few different prototypes.
EXCELLENT, the first bridge the train crossed, was that model after any special bridge or is that your own idea, very cool, love your sounds great great job

PS, what are you using for your sound system. One of the best I have heard
Why didn't you name the model railroad? This is Hangman Creek Lumber Company, for those wondering. Built by Jess Dozier, Jim Smith, Stan Oxendahl and Tom Jennings
I'm curious, what scale/gauge is this. I certainly runs very smoothly.
how did you get real sounds into that video?
The attention to detail and the sound effects are ASTOUNDING!
Amazing modelling - the chainsaw sound and the engine whistle sounds weren't quite right somehow.
Is this NGRR HOn3?
This layout is O Scale, 3 foot narrow gauge.
Where do you go on the aforementioned website to find the 26 minute vid?
What is the gauge?
O scale, 3ft Narrow Gauge.
How do you make those tall trees?
***** Thanks Ross, much appreciated.
4.03 WOW
HOn30 or On30?
Fn3?
