Thank you. The ideal width for shelf layouts is different for each. My layout is 2 feet deep at the yard and 1 foot at mainline shelfs. The length is 3 feet for the heavier shelfs and 5 feet for the lighter ones. Important for the deep, you must be able to reach the most distant area of the shelf.
Superb! EXCELLENT videography that HD quality was incredible. I too was going to ask who manufactured the engines, but I saw where you answered that question already. Gorgeous weathering indeed! Thanks for sharing this terrific video!
UP always had the most interesting diesels especially their experimental ones!!! If i ever have the money I would love to get a hold of a set of those locomotives!!!
@TheAllgood07 UP had four tank cars converted to serve as LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) fuel tenders. The cars were numbered UPT 1 to UPT 4. These 30,000-gallon-capacity tender cars made by Process Engineering. The cars were 71 feet long and nearly 11 feet wide. The model is OMI brass.
@railworksdabest The C41-8W are OMI brass models. UP 9554 and 9555 were modified by GE during mid 1994 to burn natural gas, the two units never formally entered service. The natural gas program (actually called LNG, for Liquefied Natural Gas) was cancelled due to increased costs for LNG, and technical difficulties for the locomotives themselves; both GE units were placed in operation using diesel fuel. The SD9043MAC and the C60AC are OMI Brass too.

The LNG tender was a part of a set of two brass C41-8W, sold by OMI.I bought it about ten years ago and I it`s sold out. Maybe you can find one at Ebay or an brass dealer.
Wow. Much better than mine. I have 8 Trees, and a 100" grass mat for scenery, 3 working locos, 1 broken one, 8 passenger cars, 7 freight cars, and 2 cabooses, spread out over three time periods. I only have about 15 - 20 feet of track. LOL! :)
I feel your pain, but I intend on making what little space that I have WORK for me, so I know what you're agonizing over. I hope that you're able to overcome your space issues, good luck to you!
the guys on yard jobs used to get to work early in the summer, as the LNG units were the only ones in the yard with AC....LOL....I learned quick, when it comes to yard engines, first come, first served...and in East LA in the middle of summer...oh, that ac was so sweet....the engines couldnt pull worth a shit, but I didnt care..I was niced and cool up there..... ;)
What a beautiful layout and trains!! are the engines custome made,I love them they look so realistic.The yard is what I allways want but can have,it's this a home layout or a club, either way grat job. And yes make more videos plaese, I subscribing to your channel.
No, not everything. The signals are always controlled by computer and the locomotives always by the throttles. The switches are controlled by the throttle or pushbuttons or the computer. Some few switches are thrown manually.
is that code 100 track? The reason I ask is that the height looks very realistic especially with the excellent weathering job. Code 83 is supposed to be closest to the scale size but I think it's too small.
So detailed! I can't believe how much work you have put in to this layout!

such a great looking layout. A lot of work and detail can be seen in this.This is the most real one I have yet to see...Great job.....
The shot at 2:06 is amazing. everything about it looks real. really good job making this vid. Enjoyable to watch.
Superb! EXCELLENT videography that HD quality was incredible. I too was going to ask who manufactured the engines, but I saw where you answered that question already. Gorgeous weathering indeed! Thanks for sharing this terrific video!
Lovely...just beautiful workmanship! Thanks! Great realistic looking layout!
Thank you. Yes I use superelevation. I thought first, it was too much, but now I like it.
Awesome layout, and vidio! Especally love how much detail those engines, and cars have. The weathering on them is great!
UP always had the most interesting diesels especially their experimental ones!!! If i ever have the money I would love to get a hold of a set of those locomotives!!!
Thank you. The layout is H0 scale and the track and switches are all hand layed.
Amazing job sir! Simply stunning detail and realism. Cheers!
At first i couldn't tell if it was a layout or the real thing. Great job!
by far the best video i have ever seen. hopefully i get to see more of these really soon
thank you i never knew that existed... learn something new every day
I wouldn't say you are miles away...it fooled me. Fantastic layout and models. I'll be looking for more videos of the layout in the future.

Now these are well tuned Locomotive's ! Excellent sound capture.
Thank you :-))
Awesome layout my compliments sir and thank you for sharing
gunny/ USMC Thank you
Outstanding work MrSwissengineer!!!
Thank you. Not all locos are brass, only the ones on the mixed freight
Wow! this is amazingly realistic. I thought at first that it was 1/48!

@retrainrun
Thank you. Some engines are custom painted and lettered and the layout is a home layout.
outstanding layout
Professionalism at work!
Great video man. i noticed you had the dynamics running on the UP widecabs.
Awesome layout and motive power.
I though this was real until i saw the toy truck in the background.great job :P
@miachevydude
The speakers are Railmaster, 8 Ohm Bass Reflex Speakers, 18mm x 53mm
I think its great track! Looks very realistic
VERY NICE ON THE APL TRAIN! IM running a 25 car APL Train my self :)
Love that fuel tender at the beginning!
very nice,looking layout,makes me want to get back in the hobby in a hurry,but i don't have any space
Thank you
Great layout and trains
I like the long,heavy trains and the massive locomotives in the wide open spaces and forests of western US.
Give me the Los Angeles Harbor RR!
Cool Trains I liked your engine facility
Very sweet fuel tender. God bless!
Man you banked the hell outta those curves!
You need to make some more videos...Nice Layout!!!
All locomotives on the mixed freight train are OMI brass models.
Far out! If there are more videos, I'm subscribing.
@GRUBEDGAM1
There are two LifeLike SD60M`s, a Kato AC4400 and the last is an Overland SD60M.
Thank you. No, the layout is freelanced somewhere in the Sierra Nevada and the deserts of western US.
Is this Pelle's layout? I love the super elevated curve! Nice video.
Okay!
Enjoy your layout; it is pretty cool.
Ya need ta make more videos! This is great!

Great video.
I bought it several years ago here in Switzerland.
That´s great- nice ..... greetings from North Germany
Thank you
If I didn't know any better I would say that they are really trains nice and slow.....Very! Nice.
I can see right through the grills on the diesel engines wow there so detailed. Could you tell us who made them?
FANTASTIC!
bello bello....non seguo H0 USA, ma questo è uno spettacolo.
I bought these OMI models few years ago as the LNG set with the LNG fuel tender for about 1500$

Thank you, it`s handlaid code 83 track.
@MrSwissengineer thx looks amazing
Very nice
Thank you :-)
Very Nice video.
Thank you, but the movies are not HD.
Good Job! Very Nice!
Awesome trains and video, please make more!!! =)
Great looking UP power:)
is that a custom tanker in the middle of the locomotives
Yes they are.
No, not everything. The signals are always controlled by computer and the locomotives always by the throttles. The switches are controlled by the throttle or pushbuttons or the computer. Some few switches are thrown manually.
Cool video I love trains to and that's a awesome video
Thank You :-)
Ive never seen that UP tanker before
Thank you :-))
wow, supercool. Nice detailing and weathering on the rolling stock to. Why Swissengineer? Are you from Switzerland like me?
what is that tank car looking thing?
Super nice!
what is that tank in the middle of the the to engines ?
great video quality, great looking layout. is this a proto type??
How much was 9554 and 9555
Lindas locomotivas
Very Nice!!! Would you be interested in 2 Tower 55 UP locos?
Do you use super elevation? well done my friend.
7001 is an ex and now is gefx but up still uses it
is that code 100 track? The reason I ask is that the height looks very realistic especially with the excellent weathering job. Code 83 is supposed to be closest to the scale size but I think it's too small.
Where was it that you got the LNG fuel tender from cause i tried to find it on the website of train world online?
Can you explain your preference for American railroads?
It dangerous at 6:16.. Is the last of thesen four a SD 50 M from Life-Like?
No I did not. My brass locos were bought from Caboose Hobbies, Sumpter Valley Depot or here in Switzerland.
nice video
how much overall? For the Engines
@matthew50061
C41-8W LNG, OMI brass model.
Ja bin ich. Du hast schon mal einen Eintrag in mein Gästebuch gemacht.
very nice....i like this.
Thank you :-)
where did you get the truck in the background in the beginning?
awesome!
