I truly admire the AT&SF "F" units. The A-B-B-A lashup is AWESOME! The red and silver warbonnet paint scheme is always a winner in my eyes. And the layout's landscape looks very realistic and beautiful. Great cinematography! 👍😉
Thank you for sharing this epic layout. And MOST of all, thank you for inspiring so many to never stop dreaming about how awesome this hobby can be, and is!
Incredible realistic model. Congrats on the model and scenery, and on the excellent video production. One of the best on the internet!!! Your cab and side car views are amazing. I wonder how many man-years of scenery and construction are in that layout.
Thanks Randomotion. It took five and a half years, and 30,000 hours of volunteer labor to build. There's lots more information (including a track plan) on the museum website: cmrm.org/museuminfo.html and cmrm.org/museumLayout.html
Bill....i'v noticed it before, but @ 1:55, just to the right of the El Capitan as it pulls in alongside Meyerhaeuser Timber, there is a track the goes down and disappears underground. Have always wondered where that goes? Another high quality Bill Rogers production. We appreciate the quality of your videography...rock steady still shots, super smooth motion shots and inventive camera angles. Always in focus! A benchmark others could learn from.
Thank you BNSF3012 for the nice comment and kind words. That track ducks underneath the tracks on the main level and moves to the outside where comes back up to the main level as it rounds the peninsula. You can just make it out on the layout trackplan ( cmrm.org/assets/images/OCEDiagram_Medium.jpg ). Look near "Klamath Falls Yard".
it's referred to BNSF but it will always be to me. Atchison,Topeka, Santa fe. to see the cap run again is amazing to see it in Raton pass new Mexico must have been beautiful, in Trinidad Colorado must have been beautiful, well I never say the train in those places but I did see it in Chicago in the evening heading to L.A. and it was gleaming and shinning doing her dance along Ogden ave
That is a beautiful train! I have only seen one other as beautiful. It also was a Santa Fe but I think it was a Super Chief not sure. I do know that it was an older version. Is that a micro cam in that lead engine?
That is one the reasons I cropped the picture so that only the end of the needle is visible. It would have been ungracious of me to have pointed out the zero speed to the person who was kind enough and generous enough to take the photo and send it to me.
This made my day it's such a beautiful classic train wish it was running now

Wow! Definitely the best passenger train model I have ever seen. (I'm 73.)

Without a doubt the best model train video I have ever viewed
Thank you!
Amazing layout showing off an amazing train, love it and well done indeed.
Thank You Bill for another cool video!

Still the most realistic layout on UA-cam. I hope we one day will see a run through the whole track, just with the F7 cab view.
Just in case you haven't seen it ua-cam.com/video/9cULL7QcErQ/v-deo.html
Amazing layout. Very well filmed. Thumbs up! :)

Very well shot video, crystal clear. Hope to meet you some day
Thank you for sharing.
C'mon, Bill, tell us how you get the shots down the car sides. I'd love to see your setup for that. GREAT video (like all of them you've done)!
so THATS where the superliner coaches come from

The cab ride footage was shot with a conventional video camera riding on a flatcar.
great video like always
Love it!!!
Excuse me for not knowing....but is this HO gauge?
Yes, it is.
Jim Steinborn just an absolutely beautiful layout.....Wow......
WOW!!
Hi Bill / Did you know the Apple Computer Company, calls their operating system.
OX - El Capitan.

Santa Fe needs to get their speed recorder calibrated !!!
Yeah. The needle sticks a lot.
Sticky is as sticky does, keep them rolling. We appreciate the effort !
Broken cable?
I have the Super Chief and El Capitán sets but do not have the layout... (I am crying)... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Not to nit-pick, but the view from the simulated cab shows 0 mph.
That is one the reasons I cropped the picture so that only the end of the needle is visible. It would have been ungracious of me to have pointed out the zero speed to the person who was kind enough and generous enough to take the photo and send it to me.
