@@BernardK I'm still struck by how well it was done, even the repaired cracks and slight mismatches between slabs. If you are interested? I have posed 3 videos of H0 layouts from the NMRA British Region Convention from last weekend
I'm preparing my tent to be pitched on the sidewalk of my LHS! Cannot wait!!! Bernie Kemp does it again folks! Thank you Bernie. You are a warlord in the hobby.
Maybe one of the best layouts that has been built. Merging relatively small space with a port as the main theme is just great. The detail and the over all is dead on, and how that back drop adds another dimension to it.
I was so inspired by this work and the cover from the book That this was featured in I replicated the container ship and did a port sceane You commented on it in face book glad I found this
That is some damn fine modeling-damn fine. I spent years running freight trains in the Los Angeles basin, and was the Senior Engineer for the PHL (even chose the paint scheme), and this layout hits the bullseye by capturing the overall feel of the entire Port. Nicely done...
Wow. Awesome model trains. I drove for 12 tears for JB Hunt and picked up a lot of shipping containers from the port of LA. Brings back memories. You even got the graffiti on the cars, too. Very nice.
A masterpiece in prototype appearance. The weathering, Excellent!! Just the yellow road edge on right side of vehicles would be white.. Thanks for posting.
I recall seeing the port of la modeled in a model railroader magazine back in like 1990. It was a small h.o. modular layout, and the track plan stuck in my head as the best switching layout id even seen.
Wow, I hadn't heard about this. I loved your steel mill layout. I've been going down to the harbor for many years. This does look just like it. Especially that area for the slab train pier.
Bernard, Awesome video showing the prototype port operations and your excellent model railroad that replicates them. The ship models are amazing. I look forward to more operations videos. Thanks for posting and highlighting the steps you took to build the layout.- Tom
very cool I've just gotten into model railroading with a 1996 Hershey Park train set HO and i love setting it up. I uses ez-track its fun. love your layout
Wow ! Wanderful video Bernard ! Very nice layout, the scenery is totatly outstanding. You have done an amazing job, the realism of the roads, the ships and the building is fantastic. The weathering, is also suberb. Thank's for sharing ! Jef from France.
Very well done. I would love to see more of how the items on your layout were built. I’ll check your channel but I enjoyed this video and I’m the layout is amazing.
Hi Bernard, As soon as I saw this, I was reminded of a great model from the early 1990's in Model Railroader! This is awesome, I struggled to tell which segments of the video were real or model. Regards from England, John E.
You are referring to Bob Smaus's layout. It was a very cool little project that demonstrated the potential of that area for a model. This project is much larger and oriented on model railroad operations.
What really impressed me was the weathering in the concrete roads, so often missed and left a flat colour.
@@DelticFilm i used prototype photos as a guide.

Just when you think you've seen it all. Amazing craftsmanship and layout insight!! Wow!!
Amazing video concept showing the prototype and quickly moving to the model. Nice work.

I did a double take when I realized this guy built that cargo ship from scratch. Wow, respect.
I have the book. Now I've seen the video. Both are absolutely stunning and brilliant. Now I just need the Tee shirt. But seriously folks - Wow!
T Shirts! Great idea.

One word....STUNNING! Okay, make that two words....INSPIRATIONAL!!! Just incredible brilliant work, thank you!
OUTSTANDING, Lucas/Hollywood level work. Loved how you showed how you built items from scratch, a true lost art. Thank you.
Wow!!! My hat is off to you sir, that is beyond impressive. That isn't a model railroad, that is true work of art.
I was so inspired by this work and the cover from the book That this was featured in I replicated the container ship and did a port sceane You commented on it in face book glad I found this
I live near the port and the realism captured here is breathtaking!
Scenes look legit and deep. Great job!

Great job on choosing the PHL loco scheme. It's one of my favorites.
I love the night scenes. you don't see that enough in these sort of videos.
WOW! That's some fine modeling. Looks like it took a lot of research. The construction and execution of the models is excellent.
Wow. Awesome model trains. I drove for 12 tears for JB Hunt and picked up a lot of shipping containers from the port of LA. Brings back memories. You even got the graffiti on the cars, too. Very nice.
Very impressive!!! This is one of the most realistic model trains I have ever seen. Truly inspirational!
Bernard, your attention to detail is truly impressive. I am not a fan of 'modern era' modelling but this clip has had me glued to the screen!
I work the port and it looks amazing. I've talked about doing this my whole life and you beat me 😊 Awesome job sir!
Thanks for the comment. I encourage you to start your own project. It's a lot of fun!
Wow!
This is the most realistic layout I have ever seen!
A masterpiece in prototype appearance. The weathering, Excellent!! Just the yellow road edge on right side of vehicles would be white.. Thanks for posting.
Fantastic work -- the attention to detail is awesome. Some of the time it was hard to tell the real from the model.
The differences, if there are any, are indistinguishable. Good efforts.

That is FAR OUT man! Your talent and attention to detail is exceptional
Fantastic. As a mariner I've spent a lot of time around the wharves, and this really looks to me like the real McCoy. I'm looking forward to the book.
Wow, I hadn't heard about this. I loved your steel mill layout. I've been going down to the harbor for many years. This does look just like it. Especially that area for the slab train pier.
I love the detail of the port I live in San Pedro and love the port of Los Angeles
Absolutely stunning! I marvel at the intensive detail!
Bernard, Awesome video showing the prototype port operations and your excellent model railroad that replicates them. The ship models are amazing. I look forward to more operations videos. Thanks for posting and highlighting the steps you took to build the layout.- Tom
Wow. That's a really great representation of the port. Well done.
Amazing, my congratulations to everyone who made this model!!!!! Greetings from Argentina
Awesome modeling Bernard....over the top! Definitely worth publishing!
Very, very nicely done. You really caught the feel of the L.A. Harbor!
Superb layout. The background photo makes the illusion just perfect...
Love the sounds of that SD20! Fantastic looking layout! Look forward to the book.
This is as good a representation of this prototype as your Civil War layout is, amazing model work!
Totally awesome, love your model locomotives and layout!!!!
A bunch of nice modeling. Fantastic work.
Very impressive and well planned HO scale layout. Thumbs up.

That is just beautiful - awesome work - well done!!
Truly EXCELLENT layout!
This is a stunning looking layout, man. You are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sweeeeet job! I have yet to start my layout of the port of Oakland, very nice job, I'm sure this is only part of the "final" project.
I personally like urban modeling. And this was spot on!
Beautiful. Can't wait to see more👍
I used to work security out of the L.A harbor and also hauled containers out of both locations.
That was an outstanding video, you guys did a great job, the detail was the best I've seen on a HO layout, keep up the great work.
Awesome layout!
Very impressive, great job on the project!!!
Absolutely astounding, very detailed work. I am about to start mine, looks very simple compared to this!!!
amazing layout one of the best I've seen so far on UA-cam, that would be my ideal layout.🖒🖒🖒🖒
Very nice, Thanks for the tour.
I love this!!! I work on miss river loading vessels. this is great
Glad you liked it.
hat is off guys master work you have done
Absolutely brilliant!
I can't imagine how much money this took to make, it's amazing!

This is amazing it looks so real
Incredible layout! Excellent attention to detail. I just subscribed as well. Definitely looking forward to more.
Really excellent work!
Wonderful training. Awesome!
Pretty awesome. One thing, I’ve ever seen BNSF ever use an EMD SD70M at the Port of L.A., maybe an ACe, but never a 70M.
Looks amazing
This look like so real, i love it !!
The lighting really sells it.
GREAT job. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding Work!!!
Nicely done!! 👏👏👏
Very much looking forward to the book based on this great video.
Something different and very well done.
