- THE SUNDANCE CENTRAL RAILROAD - The Sundance was formed in January 2004 with the goal to create a more detailed and uniformly scened, large-scale traveling layout. This 1:20.3 scale modular model railroad consisting of forty modules for a layout size of 45 feet by 45 feet. The railroad consists of 400 feet of hand laid code 250 aluminum rails that are hand spiked with individual tie plates onto wood ties with a total of 16 turn-outs.
The modular was built by a group of seven model train enthusiasts. This diverse group is made up of people who have a passion of early narrow gauge steam locomotives to modern day standard gauge diesels.
The purpose for forming this modular group was to provide the public a realistic look at model railroading in a large-scale format. The modules are highly detailed from the scratch built supporting structures and buildings down to the surrounding scenery. The trains and rolling stock that will be running on these modules will also be highly detailed and weathered.

To say that this is "the best and most detailed model railroad layout in the world" is an understatement.
If I had an Antman suit, at the end of the day, when I got home from work, I'd just shrink down and live this life til morning, then go back to normal size and head into work. And I'd keep it a secret.
Don't know why this showed up in my feed but it's impressive as hell.
As a model builder I can attest to the hours, days, and years that such a layout entails. It is truly a work of wonder! The attention to detail is just phenomenal. Stunning .
This man should receive the Nobel prize for artistry and originality. This is the world's best train display without a doubt. Good job, sir.
I TOTALLY AGREE
In that scale
@@adarshsurendran7648 Just what we need. Ad spam.
a mini train set isnt going to advance the world as we know it but this is a very good model railroad layout
Only problem is.... there is no Nobel Peace Prize for Art. Science, literature and peace, no art.
Forget just a model railroad
THIS IS ART
Resheram boy 88 / the trainer yeah that’s what I said. Art for sure
A true masterpiece!
im lucky enough to live close enough to it to be able to go to when its open, and its something you have to see with your own eyes. The layout is massive. I wish it was open more often
I'm only an amature at model railroading and this blows my current layout out of the water. This is truly amazing.
And the music fits in with this classic peace of art
There’s a certain art to a REALLY well done model railway, the best ones even have a little story to tell
It would be something to place a camera on the locomotive and have it run the layout. Someone’s life work on display here, absolutely mind blowing detail and realism. Unbelievable.
Yes! I'd have a big screen on the wall, showing the view. Post a lap, get another 2.2 million views. :)
Every scene says a hundred stories....even though it’s not even a real town...This is beautiful
Thanks for the Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Januke Henatalie Formula (probably on Google)? It is a good exclusive product for operating a DCC model railroad minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cousin got great results with it.
Jose F. Torrealba would love to but I can’t afford models trains...I just watch these and wish and wait for THAT one day..😊😊
Big time beautiful. Art

I think I see a few O. Henry stories in there.
I don’t know how many people this took or how many years, but the variety and attention to detail is outstanding. It’s obvious that so much went into the planning alone. You just can’t through something this fabulous together without a lot of planning and skill. And apparently they have both. My hat is off to you folks on a job that is more than well done. I actually don’t know the right words to describe something this fantastic. And thank y’all for sharing it with the world. It makes us old timers nostalgic when we see something like this. Again, thank you!
7 people. It's in the video description. ;)
I Believe the correct word would be "throw" not through.!! I make mistakes all the time, I love to respond to these things and as an old (79) year old Irish Girl whose Husband retired from the "Union Pacific Railroad" here in Sparks, Nevada. He died last year May10th 2021, and my oh my did he take a lot of knowledge with him, he was a very smart man and helped men on the railroad to pass tests and was just the best railroad man on earth my heart is broken and he was my rock, my air, my bones, and now I have him sitting next to me here by the Computer in his Black Ebony Chest to help me and give me some "Bark" to carry on. I see him in that little train passing by around and around and I can carry on. "Get some Bark Honey" that's what he would say. I am trying and for him I gotta be tough and keep going.
@@lindaweilburg6428 🙏🏼 my deepest condolences. I hope that you are well.
Dose anyone know the name of the music
@@zakgrubb7512 Partial instrumental bits from the Good, Bad and the Ugly. Morricone might be the artists.
The kid climbing the tree to get a eye-full was me as a youngster and thank god its never changed.
How even one person would dislike this video boggles the imagination.
I haven't seen a UA-cam video yet with better artistic detail and realism. The whole thing feels like you're in a story
I've watched this video numerous times just to marvel at the details. I see something new every time. Just a fantastic display, the Picasso of train display.
I am a retired Southern Pacific Railroad Conductor and this is the best I've ever seen. Well done...
This entire layout really is a snapshot of early 20th century small town Americana. You can learn a terrific amount about life in the 1920s Appalachia just by studying the level of detail in this layout!!!! Excellence of execution in the detailing sir!!!!
Some of those trees were too big for the east coast, meinded me more of Pacific Nothwest. Sorthern California, Fort Bragg or Oregon.
There is something though; the time depicted everything would be new.! Think. Now the attention to detail that’s another thing superb artistry.
@@ChipEstrada Well we are talking about forests some 100 years ago now.
The ink was barely dry on Teddy's creation of Fed parks!!
The cabosse says "Fiddletown & Copperopolis" which are two towns in the Gold Country SW of Lake Tahoe. Good observation regarding size of trees.
Hard to believe it's not real... These guys should be working in Hollywood... I'm almost 80 been around model railroading most of my life can't remember anything done quite this well...
Dwight Bernheimer How Do You Feel About Model Rail Roading Becoming So Computer Equipped ? Cheers. ( DCC )
@@trevorgwelch7412 for me it's completely unnecessary the way I do things but that's just me. It must be the way to go otherwise they'd never sell it LOL the guys I know either love it or hate it. For me I just don't need it. That's the difference
Did you catch John Wayne at 5:32 ?
nah.....hollywood is done, there's no hope.
@@rainbowriderjt7833 soon as i saw the hat and the rifle I knew it was him
The ultimate model railroad cocktail made up by: meticulous planning, striving for perfectionism, fanaticism to details, true to an era, artistic execution, love for the labor.
This is art , a time machine , a storybook , and a brain massage . WOW !!!!
The dog playing with the bull frog, hands down my fav.
I'm not a train guy but this is crazy detail work! This video has set the standard for all lay-outs. So hop aboard the "Crazy Train" tour.....you won't regret it.
Railfan* but yeah , amazing pike.
I can watch these all day. The music selection matches perfect. No blaring in your face obnoxious techno. Love the long pauses too to really appreciate the fine detail of the scenes. No quick 3 second clip editing. Bravo, well done video all around. Must do MORE of these
Thank you so much!!!
Would have love to hear the licomotive bell or whistle though.🚂
There isn't a blade of grass or a dog's tail that hasn't been carefully thought out. Amazing and hypnotic... with great old-timey music. Obviously a masterpiece of on-going work of art and love. Congratulations all around. !!!
Such details to a completely different degree, this kind of realism is something to truly strive for
I can't imagine the creativity, skill, and patience to create something like this. Well done!
Don’t forget money
Right down to the smallest pebble, the perfectly placed grass, cob-webs, every piece and pebble maticulously placed....must have taken a LONG time!
Now that’s passion for ya!
@@seabass62yearsago life is not always about money,,but a life and money well spent is a life well lived,, and we can't take it with us,, Remember your favorite lamp you moved from place to place your whole life will be tossed in a dustbin as soon as you kick the bucket.
Only thing missing is smoke coming out the train?!?!
I admire anyone who can make models,wheather as detailed as this one or just a small basic one.
Such a variety of skills at such a high level.
The best railroad-presentations on youtube
The dust, the decay, the weeds! Everywhere a story. So real I can smell it. BRILLIANT.
Look at the trees too and the weathering I just think it’s amazing and in one of the scenes there is a. Broken window!!
As a model builder I can attest to the hours, days, and years that such a layout entails. It is truly a work of wonder! The attention to detail is just phenomenal. Stunning 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.
This is the most fantastic piece of art I’ve ever seen so far. The maker is absolutely brilliant and patient. Not even Hollywood can make something like this. My admiration for you, thank you heaps.👍🤞❤️😊
No words can convey my admiration for the artistry that went into this amazing creation.
Who ever built this is definitely a master of his craft In the model railroad hobbie my hats off to the people or person who built it
What an absolute masterpiece.I just cannot imagine the 000's of hours in the detailing.....rustic but truely artistic. WOW
Elena Estrella I have gone many times and every time you see something new. It is truly incredible what they have been able to do
I would live in that little world he's made.
@@UncleSpuddyThey even included John Wayne at 5:32
@@UncleSpuddy , I wished I lived in this world. Seems so peaceful and simple.
@@mdnealy4097 ikr
So nice to see John WAyne in this video, and the smashed window looked brilliant
Best Layout I've Ever Seen, Period, Hands Down!
Definitely comes alive at night when the real people go home
Absolutely
Yup
Exactly
If the Toy Story cast somehow ended up here when things 'came alive' they'd never convince anyone on the layout that they were just 'toys'... well and they'd probably all end up dead too because all the realistically modeled people would be horrified upon being approached by a bunch what would appear to be gigantic sentient toys and would shoot them on site with what I wouldn't doubt are probably miniature working guns considering the level of detail.
The "people" in the models are the real people. LOL!!!
After midnight, I bet that all of the figurines come to life and exist within the platform of the model until morning. 😉😄😜
That's what happened in the movie 'The Indian in the Cupboard'.
Night at the museum. I think the same thing, it would be cool
Just like toy story
Or might as well, Night at the Museum Series
YES YES my thought too is unbelievelbell i wish me into it o my god so nice
I've seen a lot of train displays, but I have NEVER!,,,,, NEVER!! Seen one as awesome as this one!
Omg. This is not one,but the best thing I have ever seen in my life and I'm 52 years old👍👏👏👏👏👏
People have often said that they long for the good ol' days but to honest, I don't think many of us have truly thought about what that entailed. This model railroad set up gives a person somewhat of an idea the struggles, hard work and perseverance of the good ol' days. No retirement, no social security, no way to support yourself except to work till they throw a shovel full of dirt in the ground on you.
Fantastic job on the set up and the video of it. The music just adds to the ambiance of the whole thing. Thank you.
You didn't even mention hospital care being lots more questionable, and maybe unavailable. No ambulance is coming to those locations so you better have a horse and cart or a truck.

@@usranger175 "Whiskey's too expensive, and we're runnin' low anyhow. Let's get "Big Bruno" to punch him under his chin when he ain't a'lookin'.
Yeah, I'm speechless. The aging of everything, the rust, wood, the buildings... looks like 1930's rural America. Just incredible.
Outstanding attention to detail. The weathering alone, from the wooden structures, the rusty spare train wheels at the yard, the awnings on the shops, the paint on the houses... I'm blown away.
Yes,that is what impressed me. Everything looks a little old and well used. Nothing is shiny or new looking. The superlatives used is these comments are well said.
@@barbaralcharlestruly a Work of Love.
The grass and the trees are masterful. Really amazing work.
I am a builder of "old western" style buildings for 20 years now. I would love to be involved in construction of a fantastic layout like this. This is a masterwork!!
that is NOT a small scale train! once you realize that, the immense size of the layout becomes apparent. plus, so much is within its boundaries and it doesn't look cluttered at all! a true master piece! I'm in awe !
9:40 'ish...My friend and I used to build a raft out of 2 of those 400 gal oval fuel oil tanks. over the course of a couple of years we floated from carpentersville, Il on the fox river down to Henry, Il on the Illinois! My friend is gone better than a 1/4 of a century now ( we were young men then - last trip was '89 ) but seeing that in this layout just brought a tear to my eye. Miss you still, John. Beautiful layout!
This is such a beautiful throwback to the Old West.
I have never paused a video as much as I did this one. It took me a half hour to watch the first five minutes. The best layout I have ever seen.
Words can’t express the emotion and feeling this gives a person.... The countless hours and the thought process behind this is of a whole new level. I’ve seen a many of UA-cam videos of layouts and this is by far my favorite, the music to go along with it was perfect for this era. You have an amazing talent. God bless you.
The hours that must have gone into this boggle the mind. Hours designing and planning, collecting the materials, modeling, painting, and assembling, just incredible. I laughed when I saw the boys climbing the tree to get a better look at the girls.
Hours hell.
This must be about 30 years worth of work, and then some.
"Thank you all so very much, your creative collaboration wasn't wasted effort by a long shot. You don't just throw something this sweet together overnight. Thank you for doing this so other would be happier when seeing it running. Nice choice of audio inclusion also.
I've never seen a more beautiful layout.
This might just be the best darn model landscape (not only railroad) I ever did see.
I watch this video often it NEVER gets old. I HAVE been to a lot of shows & THIS layout is BY FAR the BEST I have EVER SEEN👏👏👍👍☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️
I alwasy come back to watching this fantastic layout. There's so much details, and so realistic! Even the music fits the laziness of the scene!
There is no way the cowboy with the red shirt at 4:50 is anyone else but John Wayne, in his 'Rio Bravo' outfit. The detail on this build is incredible. I don't expect to see this level of detail on anything bigger than a couple of square feet, but they carry it off over a whole layout. The ground and weeds growing between and beside the tracks is worth a whole discussion, as are the incredibly detailed human figurines throughout the display. Five stars.
It seems that there are still people who are skilled in the use of something other than a tablet or smart phone! What absolutely amazing, talented, skilled artists !!!!! Amazingly accurate & thought-provoking. A simpler time....
The little details like the mouse on the log and the dog with the frog really make a layout like this stand out in such a beautiful way.
Thank you very much!
what they have created here is an historically accurate biopic of rural Appalachian life in the early to mid 1900's. all of the easements are accurate, (meaning they didn't try and cram as many things on there as possible like so many people do). Its like a moving Thomas Kinkade painting, faithful in every detail. Rural Appalachian communities absolutely centered around these small railways to earn a living and as the only real link to civilization. I have commented several times and I have watched this dozens of times. I have said it before and I will write it here again. This is the most beautiful model railway in the world. Nothing compares to it.Nothing. To the wonderful and talented people who have done this, I remain astonished. I can't wait to see more.
How? Just how? This is probably my favorite train display. All the rusted metal, the wooden bridge, the people. It tells a great story! Thank you for sharing.❤❤❤
Holy shit. I don't even know what's more mind blowing. The scope. Or the absolutely insane, sublime, incredible detail. I mean I consider myself pretty articulate. Having a big vocabulary is something I pride myself in. But words fail me right now. The only thing that comes to mind is just "Wow." I could watch videos of this for hours. A whole series on something like this.
Three years later I'm watching it again. This is a kind of time capsule going back to a time when I was a kid. Loved it.
The arc from the guy welding is over the top. Makes you want to get into model railroading.
Just stunning! the models don't look staged but like they are caught in a snapshot moment in the middle of doing something. It looks like there is a story behind every scene. Amazing job!
I can watch this over and over. What incredible work. This belongs in the Smithsonian
The level of detail and sheer realism of EVERYTHING is amazing. I'm sure the larger scale is what made all the detailing possible. BRAVO!! Supremely well done!!
It must have taken years to put this together. It's better than a Hollywood movie layout. Thank you.
To me, one of the most stimulating aspects of layouts of this scale and complexity is the incredible level of imagination utilized to envision all the scenery and its minute detail, and then turn it into 3 dimensional reality! The human mind can be such a wonderfully creative thing! What an amazing treat. Thank you!
This model railroad is an absolute masterpiece.
Truly impressive work ! Incredibly detailed. Thousands of hours of passionate, meticulous work. Hats off to all the people involved ! Thanks for sharing.
All the layouts are beautiful, but this one is special, every time I look at it I am delighted.
Not a model. This is artistry. Every scene is a 3D canvas.
I also don't know the right words to describe the ingenuity, imagination, and skill, as well as attention to history that has gone into this. I look at a lot of railroad nostalgia from rotary plows on Donner and in the Wasatch, to very detailed models on UA-cam. I have never seen anything like this one, unbelievable to say the least!
The attention to detail here is literally staggering. just amazing
This is the Norman Rockwell of model railroads! Incredible!
This wasn't a model train - this was an adventure down the lane of history ... a very detailed one at that
Man, Imma jump back in RDR 2 now
Absolutely AMAZING !! The welders arcs and the burning Pine tree, spectacular detail !! Bravo !!
By far the best lay out and the most realistic I ever seen
The authenticity and attention to detail are spectacular. There's even a figure of John Wayne there.
I'm speechless! This is an astounding display. The level of realism, detail, the weathering. I can't imagine the hours it must've taken.
This is simply stunning.
Respect to all those involved in creating this.
I cant believe it. This is the best layout ive ever seen. Its so real. My hat off an i stand up to the people or person who done this. You r number 1 my man
Model Railroad mag in 80s had some outstanding ultra detail layouts. This was very well thought out.
Steam coming out of that engine would have made me fall over.....already in awe!!!
AMAZING WORK!
I think you captured ever cultural moment for this period in history. The boys up in the tree to get a peak at the dancing girls, classic. The enging pull on the tractor, real moments in time. It's beautiful, priceless.
You even have the trash of the period. Thank you for sharing.
Over 900 people have given this a thumbs down, sounds like envy to me. This is amazing, thank you for sharing it.
What they are pond life just the one brain cell
The people that hate this video, hate trains and complex detail of model layouts.
This is probably the best and most detailed layout I’ve ever seen,it’s like you’re part of a story and the attention to detail is absolutely exquisite,my only wish is that there was more than one train running,very well done to whoever dedicated their lives to putting it together and just being able to imagine that kind of creativity is amazing, thank you so much for sharing it with us and I know I’ll be watching it again 😊
This is absolutely beautiful layout ive ever seen in my entire life!!! Thank You for Making Me Relive My Childhood❤❤❤❤
All the pain staking labor that went into this layout boggles the finite mind, totally awesome!
2:39 the dogs tail JUST slipping out from under the rocking chair!!! Love this!!!
This nothing short of inspirational ... I've watched it several times and pick up something different.
Even a welders flash!!!! Absolutely Incredible!!!
This must have taken so much time I can't even imagine to give it a number!
Wow! That's probably the best railroad model set up i ever seen! Incredible and impressive!😎👍🚂
Anibal Babilonia it’s even more impressive in person
Incredible indeed, but not the most impressive, because thats in Germany ua-cam.com/video/VM_06_xTp2s/v-deo.html

sorry good work but in germany Hamburg exist 1 that it’s even more impressive
This IS an excellent layout, no question, but you just haven't seen dozens of excellent layouts across the country and around the world.
The brothel right next to the church... Brilliant.
1000% absoolut pure great madness, one of the best i have seen in 70 years!!!
This is my favourite model railway video of all time. Great music track as well !
This would be something you could spend hours just looking at all the detail everywhere. Amazing!
holy ....... the artist doing this work is fantastic in his understanding of life ...VERY IMPRESSIVE !
These 7 men are the Micheal Angelos of Railroad layouts. Mere words cannot describe it. I consider my scale model aircraft building and painting and weathering pretty darn good but if I were to put mine alone side this...I would throw mine in the trash...lol this must have taken a great many years to do..absolutely stunning gents my hat is off to you!
Never have I seen such detail! This is a work of art!
