- This will be a 3 part video in HD of one of the great model railroad in the US. The owner has been working on this layout for number of years with some very good help. This model railroad runs as close to the real thing as you can get.
Truly the pinnacle of modern model railroad operations. This layout is indeed up there with Vic Smiths' City Edge layout, the La Mesa model railroad club, and Pelle Soeborg's Danville layout. Great job commentating Mr. Houston. Looking forward to more videos. You've earned my sub.
The craftmanship of the scenery and the backdrop is so smooth, when looked at the right angle, appears to go on to the horizon. Great job.
Sure wish u had a lot more footage of them nice lookn FREIGHT trains they all look awesome. Nice✌️👌👍😉
Thanks John. You have a superb layout that demonstrates excellent artistic and engineering skills.
Thanks Ken, appreciate the kind words...
I can't even describe how great that this layout looks. SPEECHLESS!!
some of the best roads to some where back grounds i have seen
Revisit coming in May so watch for new video on the layout shortly after that.
Excellant video & what an impressive layout. The detail & execution looked perfect. Some very skilled modelers/artists, really love how well the scenes carry into the backdrop. Thx for sharing
I've never seen four locos coupled like that. Thought double heading was the max. Great layout.
Awesome layout. Like the background structures. A lot of industries to switch and very realistic scenery.
Manolo
Art, great job on the video!
The layout is in Colorado, North of the Denver area. The layout stays clean because of a sealed floor and ceiling in the room. However, cleaning is still required!
Thanks for taking the time to do this work. Just great.
Great layout and trains! HO scale is my favorite scale. Looks the best!
i like how you did the cross over and went on both sides of the building
Awesome layout. Like the ops session too.
0:31 nice!
Fantastic stuff Arthur!, nice lash-up you have there!!
I love this kind off layouts. I wish I had so much space.
Beautiful layout.
How big is your Basement ,Man!!!LOL Awesome layout!Model railroad engineering at it's finest!

Would love to take a tour someday. Great looking layout
Art! You best start payin attention, and blowin those crossings bown slick! Lmao
Beautiful layout and video!!
Such an awesome layout...
Great looking Layout!!
If you watch all three parts and go to his web site bnsf fall river division, you would see the basement exposed all 3000 ft which the rr takes up 2700.
I am a guest at all but the GP i do assume people want personnel information given out. Watch for up date soon.
arthurhouston3 up
Dear Arthur, I saw a lot of your vids and I want to thank you very much for your time, dedication and effort in such a splendid work you make visiting those great layouts. We -modelers from other countries- do really appreciate it !.
If is possible, I'd like to ask you some N scale layout from time to time and if some day you have the chance it would be very nice to watch the Reid's bros. Cumberland Valley System.
Thank you again, and greetings from Chile (South America). Cheers, John.
amazing layout, thanks for sharing
out standing..thanks for sharing
vinny...aka...bnsf6951
those are awesome engines homie!!
Awesome layout!
Looks great!
amazing layout I hope I can see it and be privileged to run a train on it someday.
Absolutely the best!
great !!!!
Thd road bed is done with Homosoad. Do not think i spelled it correctly. Go the web site their is e mail to John. Google BNSF FALL RIVER DIVISION
great stuff....
The rr is in a basement and a closed enviorment. I am sure that helps.
THANKS, FOR GREAT VIDEO, WAS LITTLE NOT OPERATION TRAIN ON RUN WHEN CROSS THE ROADCROSS AT TIME AS GOOD WATCH SEE DETAIL OF LAYOUT AS LIKE HOW to TAKE TO RUN TRAIN OVER THE LAYOUT FROM POINT TO POINT IN OPERATION RUN .
Amazing video 😁
Need to brush up on the horn and signal rules but a great video:)
1:20 you start talking about the flashing Yellow and called it wrong. It's called a "Approach Limited". Proceed, Speed passing next signal must not exceed 40 mph unless it can be plainly seen that indication of the next signal displays a clear, advance approach or approach limited. It will not and should not show a red signal at the next. If it does. The signals are not setup correctly or there is a malfunction.
Actually on the BNsf it's "Approach Medium". Proceed, prepared to pass next signal not exceeding 40 MPH, and prepared to enter diverging route at prescribed speed through turnout.
Cool video
this has to be one of the best layouts i have ever seen, can you tell me what kind of signals they used and what were they using for a road bed?, hoping to see an other layout update from this layout? does he have his own you tube page? thanks lot for your help,,,Gary
gary wise John has a web site. search BNSF FALL River in search box. NJ int Signals. They are run by JMRI Panel Pro. But he uses a overlay program that was written for JMRI by one of his fellow modelers. But the system for signals is Free, JMRI.com Warning if you are not into this it is not easy to make it all work. Takes a lot of electronics to make this happen.
Very well thought out layout. Has there ever been a mishap on the layout? Such as misallignment with tracks, derailment, or collision?
I cannot really comment i have been their twice in two years. I am not aware of any problems but that is what happens when you do it right.
Great video. Great layout, but how on Earth do you keep it clean, especially the track?
Man I hope my backdrop etc... Looks even 1/4 as good. My wife tells me I try to get things done too fast.
Art: Do you know what the owner used for the layout's roadbed? I don't think I've ever seen it used before. I noticed some cork; but the other roadbed... I'm still unsure. Is it homasote?
vocês são de mais...
I like it to many people standing around like government workers
I have a hard time walking and chewing gum. Let alone, run camera, control engine speed, blow horn, walk, watch signals, etc.
Why was the bell on for so long?
Wow!!!
Geez, approach medium, approach, stop. How hard can it be??
Was the GE demo loco a custom paint by the owner or was it sold like that?
As I remember the GE unit were sold painted like that I need to contact John will ask him.
On the coal train, are the helpers consisted with the lead locomotives?
bobaroo58 no they are not. That engineer has keep contact. No nuckel on coupler
One word WOW
You will need to give me time mark for crossover.
Great layout, does he have a site where you can view a layout plan?
Website is www.bnsfrr.net
4 engines, does the train actually need it, or just roleplaying?
In most cases in all the model RRs I have ever operated on 2 engines will pull everything. But this is an attempt at pro type operations and in the real world there would be massive motive power. mid train and end helpers not un common. on 100 car coal trains.
@@arthurhouston3 Yeah, I do know when I was in Queen Creek, AZ, a track ran right past Canyon State Academy, and I always wondered how heavy coal must be when a coal train with like 30 cars had 5 engines on the head end.... Meanwhile the autorack trains that rolled through there were way longer but usually only had 2 engines.
Why not identify the owner and location? Does he have security concerns?
I'm the owner. My name is John Parker and I'm located North of Denver. www.bnsfrr.net.
How big is that layout?
Where is this layout?
Salad Shooter.
16:46 were the hell did you get that locomotive, I want it soo bad and cant find it anywere
I am willing to bet they are intermountain. engines. But that paint scheme has not been done in long time. Many of the people who work at Intermountain run on John's Layout.
ok, I love
that paint job
I think it was called Presidential paint Scheme
ok, thanks
Some of the comments here really make me laugh out loud.
Stopped watching when the vandalized reefers showed up.
WTF- Love you trains, Don't like the Obama sign, You really should take it down,
Tim in the hobby it is not political so I make no comments on that subject. Only say that type of sign would be part of the landscape. The railroad is not mine. I own the Grande Pacific. I am a guest at this layout.
arthurhouston3 yeah, all the sign really does is help set the era of the layout. Not political IMO.
Tim Belcher And some of us DO like the sign. And if YOU want to put a "Bush" sign on your layout you go right ahead and I promise not to complain about it.
Trains that carries biggest over sizes loads in both ho and real railroads .
Thank you very much.
iuo
Berenice Maldonado Maldonado if its in my opinion, you show me or tell me of a better layout then this?
