    What a stunning layout this is. The detail is brilliant. I could watch this over and over and still find things I did not see before. I loved the lady in the out house.

    I love the fact that anything goes. Steamers with modern diesels and switchers. Old towns and businesses with new sections. Lots of fun!

      The late John Allen was a pioneer of model railroading. His legendary layout was the “ Goree and Daphetid” railroad. Google it for more info

    Great Layot the only thing I have a problem with is Steam Locomotives and old vehicles this is 2024 Not 1924 so you should only run Diesels if you want it to be really realistic.

      @DesertCharleyVideos 4 місяці тому +2

      Hello... I'm a long time member of the Highland Pacific. If you were HO scale sized person and walked the mainline only, the trip would be 15 miles. We exaggerate our scale to 150 miles for the story of the layout. We use compression to express the distance between towns. We have not counted all the track in all the towns, or passing sidings, but it would be huge.

    I'm dying to know what the back story is concerning the N scale (?) Big Boy on the flat car. That's an intriguing one.
    This is a beautiful layout. The depth of detail and the smooth continuity of cultural features are mind boggling. I can't imagine the amount of coordination and teamwork it must have taken to pull this magnificent layout off. Really impressive!

    • @DesertCharleyVideos
      @DesertCharleyVideos 4 місяці тому

      Hello... I'm a long time member of the Highland Pacific. The Big Boy on the flatcar was a representation of a giant live steamer scale model being shipped. The N Scale town in the mountains only works when you view it from the floor level, not from above. It gives a sense of false perspective in the little space we have. The area is serviced by narrow gauge trains, and as a result they look super huge, but it's a trade off we like in our laid back club! :)

    the extent of my knowledge regarding trains is they ride on tracks and that's about it. however like many, if not most folks i've always been fascinated by trains and hence i watch a good share of model train videos. now i understand i'm watching vids of models, but i assume that with the amount of work put into the layouts, the good folk building and operating them probably stick relatively close to real world scenarios which brings me to a question. i've noticed that on older steam powered passenger trains there is never more than one locomotive pulling the cars, but when it's a newer model diesel/electric passenger train there are almost always more than a single locomotive, even with the number of passenger cars being the same between the two. is there a reason for this? appreciate any one willing to clarify this for me. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all!1!!
