The best investment is building ho train layouts n they get better everyday with DCC n Sound technology cause this entertainment keeps you busy n you can invite friends n family n the grandkids to see what you built
So freakin' realistic I was sucked in from the beginning! Superb camera angles, speed, sound, the works. Might be the best ops vid I've ever watched. Bravo to all! . . . Diana
Wow, thanks Diana, appreciate that. I know it's not perfect, but I did what I could to make it as real as possible. I'm glad it's something a lot of people seem to be enjoying. Makes all the work worth it.
That’s just the coolest thing I have ever seen this could be used in a movie it’s so realistic the detail is absolutely amazing such dedication I thoroughly enjoyed watching this thank you so very much for sharing this.
I can't remember if I seen this video before and commented. Lol. But great video love the Amtrak backing up to the passenger cars and boxcars then rolling out. Awesome!!!
love the realism in your switching ,, slow and steady and bell , horn ,, believable for sure , I didn't see that coming , Amtrak having troubles so needs a lift ,, bit of wheel slip happening there when first got going , nice , this has to be one of the best switching , ops sessions I have ever seen ,, switching with a purpose ,, for sure ,, has to be a thumbs up ,, twice if I could , you kept me watching for the full 22 mins ,, start to finish , just a great thought out video ,, thanks for sharing ,
Thanks Dave, greatly appreciate that. Way I see it, if you do a video like this, no way you can get the feel of realism if you don't do what the real ones do. Sounds, lights, train control... The only things lacking are a better way to hide the real world so we don't see people walking by in the background, and I need some ambient background, real world sounds in it. Glad yo enjoyed it!
11:42 - While you guys were filming this train, a GIANT walked past in the background! Better get that footage to the government - they'll never believe you!
Reality check , what's the point of going up a bridge in order to get to the other side of the track when you can easily switch to another track to do that and You would Never ,Ever see an Amtrak train climb a steep bridge like that. It's upmost unadvisable to do so.
@@Earthmoonstars-el6rd it's two on the Northeast Corridor, not steep but near Claymont Deleware & New Jersey Transit has it for their Morrisville yard to avoid have to switch so many trains through the interlockings and northern New Jersey has it where the old auto facility used to be..
haha... cool. :D I know long vids are hard to sit through (I enjoy them though), but if people can do it for TV shows, don't see why not for here. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! The guy who did the lights and sound in these two units, Shane, has done almost the exact same set up in N scale models. He's actually an N scale modeller too.
One thing that puzzles me on very good layouts is when the track is not hand laid! I love hand laying track, including turnouts, and it really makes a big difference visually.
Thanks Dan! Appreciate it. Yeah you know, they were nearly an hour behind schedule, so that 70M was like, "Yeah, I got this." The grade is just over a 2%, I thought there would be at least some wheel slip, but no, it slowed down a bit but never lost traction.
The Amtrak is my favorite train, but I been waiting for 4 years to get one but I never the chance to buy it but only see it, but it’s amazing how you got the train and the coaches
Thanks, yeah, the sounds were recorded from the real thing by Loksound, then put in their decoders. Using a higher quality speaker (Sugar Cubes in this case) also helps.
hmm.....a breakdown on a train with an Amtrak business car on it. Some one is in BIG trouble...LOL! BTW great video even if it's Horribly Oversized (HO)...chuckle. I'm an N scale modeler...
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. This is a club, it belongs to a lot of guys. The Amtrak train and UP locomotive are mine, but the over all layout is club and individual owned.
impressive thank you for sharing ..I liked the Resue power move ..modelling in today's world is so realistic ..Amtk Loco kept shutting down ..UP Was the Protect Engine. .from Dispatch. .
+Railfan Jason recently I saw a similar actual rescue video .date& amtk train No. unknown ..Gennie brakes failed to release a CSX rescue Loco I think it was Fayetteville N.C ..... btw Siemens testing new Diesel Loco @Co.testing facility. .I'm hearing to start replacing Geenie Locomotives in the future ..nice Video testing too. .I'm think the nickname is Siemens "Charger"...
The "dead" locomotive wasn't actually dead. It works perfectly fine. I just called it up and consisted it with the UP unit. This video was done to showcase the sound and lighting effects of the UP and Amtrak 822 units. So basically, the locomotives were the "actors" in this Operations Session.
First reason is that they match the 822, second, I don't like the current phase. P3 i my favorite, and all that I have. Also, Amtrak is using that scheme again in some areas.

How could you dislike this video I feel like a kid watching this love it😊
Haha... Thanks Robert!
Great work Jason. I loved every bit of it. You did and excellent job and I hope you do more like these in the future!
Thanks Spencer, this one was a beast. Glad to finally have it finished, and of course, I'll do more. :D
That’s just the coolest thing I have ever seen this could be used in a movie it’s so realistic the detail is absolutely amazing such dedication I thoroughly enjoyed watching this thank you so very much for sharing this.
Dude, periods and commas exist
A lighted dashboard in the UP - WOW that is amazing!
This is such an entertaining video - I just had to comment. Great storyline and professionally executed.
Thanks John, glad you enjoyed it!

I along with my friends have seen some of your Model trains video and have enjoyed it thoroughly ....thanks once again for sharing it with us 😊
Thank you and your friends too. I'm glad you enjoy my vids. Appreciate it.
Great video, Lots of work and hours for sure. Brother works for the Railroad and after many years it's basically like getting in a car for him.
Great story-line.WELL EXECUTED! And the layout is fabulous!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
At 21:20 it was looking like a nice area, and I did not expect 21:45, which was amazing! Nice layout!
The realism of the situation is adorable!!
What a great setup and I love all the sounds 👍👍👍
Finally all caught up! Loved this op session and look forward to more!
Thanks Bishop, no worries, I'm behind on a lot of stuff too. That pesky thing called real life gets in the way sometimes. Glad you enjoyed it!
11:42 - While you guys were filming this train, a GIANT walked past in the background! Better get that footage to the government - they'll never believe you!
Oh yeah, those damned old giants are always doing that. Someone needs to invent Giant-be-gone spray or something.
Railfan Jason lol

Awesome video, most realistic setup on the internet!! Thanks for sharing!!
This was really, really cool! Thanks for sharing! 😀
simply BEAUTIFUL
Great storyline. Nicely filmed! Great layout!
I seen that Amtrak before but in real life in montana it made my day the Amtrak 1971 or 1978 to 2011
i can watch this all day long!!!!!!
That is what I call a Great Empire better and bigger than mine, good work guys
un sonido espectacular, very good , congratulations.
Love the illuminated instrument panel in the cab of UP #3984! Very creative!
Good one.easily cleared the trouble of amtrak and the last bridge is well directed👍😊
Thanks, appreciate it!
I love these stories
Awesome video :)
hi Jason... great back story.. awesome vid.. still love the fly-over... thanks for sharing... vinny
Thank you Vinny. Someday whenever you guys make it up this way, you can see that flyover in person. Glad you enjoyed it.
Good stuff man😂😁😁😂😂😔😂😰😝😂😂😂👻😔😔😔😂😂😂😔😔😔👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻💽😌😀👻🏰😀😀😀💻😀💻💻💻
wow!!! this is one of the nicest models I have ever seen!!!
Thanks, I couldn't have done it without Shane and his electronics and sound skills.
That was Awesome! Thanx for posting !!
Great video, kept me entertained for the entire time!
haha... cool. :D
I know long vids are hard to sit through (I enjoy them though), but if people can do it for TV shows, don't see why not for here. Thanks for watching!
Great Video Jason, loved the scenario, Those engines sound fantastic. Sometimes makes me wish that I had not changed from HO scale to N scale.
Thanks! The guy who did the lights and sound in these two units, Shane, has done almost the exact same set up in N scale models. He's actually an N scale modeller too.
Cool!
Wow i just took an Amtrak train in a sleeper car a couple of months ago this looks and sounds so real
Thanks. I took a trip a few years ago, yeah it's fun and neat to model.
Really a great layout and a nice video! Well done!
Thanks!
One thing that puzzles me on very good layouts is when the track is not hand laid! I love hand laying track, including turnouts, and it really makes a big difference visually.
Neat video man!! VERY realistic, great detail. 10:57 - trying to get back on schedule. :P Cool shot there at 20:50, and quite a steep grade.
Thanks Dan! Appreciate it. Yeah you know, they were nearly an hour behind schedule, so that 70M was like, "Yeah, I got this." The grade is just over a 2%, I thought there would be at least some wheel slip, but no, it slowed down a bit but never lost traction.
Beautiful layout and trains!
I went up there today and it was amazing
You have a very very nice layout👍👍👍
The Amtrak is my favorite train, but I been waiting for 4 years to get one but I never the chance to buy it but only see it, but it’s amazing how you got the train and the coaches
the sounds of the locomotives are actually relatively good.....
Thanks, yeah, the sounds were recorded from the real thing by Loksound, then put in their decoders. Using a higher quality speaker (Sugar Cubes in this case) also helps.
Great show. Fun to watch.
Thank you. Appreciate it, and glad you enjoyed it.
I'm ur newest subscriber, plz don't stop making vids Jason. :-)
Thanks, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon.
Terrific layout, gorgeous stock and stunning video recording in HD! What kind of camera was used? Love the angles too. Great job!
Beautiful!!!
If I wanted build something like this to my son, how much money do I need??
It all depends on how money you plan on spending on the realism of the layout, while taking into account how much room to expand..you got OPTIONS!!!!
Gerald Green although to have a set this big and that many trains, it probably costs over $1,500
Excellent job enjoyed it.
Thanks!
Trouble is Amtrak's other name.

Thanks, and hey now... HO is cool. I do both HO and N.

Seth Kimmel Good pun.
9:41-9:43 Do i see some wheel slip happening? lol
There's a reason they call it SLAMtrak LOL. Great video!
Beautiful
Love It, just awesome.
It seems so real!
This happened in Buffalo NY, CSX loaned a AC4400 to get them going
Love the incline shot... what was the grade on that... I love operations
beautiful very nice loved it 😊😊
Thanks!

Woulda thought they had an extra locomotive in those three baggage cars 😂😂
really man i loved it., its its jst awesome n were did u get it all???
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. This is a club, it belongs to a lot of guys. The Amtrak train and UP locomotive are mine, but the over all layout is club and individual owned.
PRETTY SOON WITH THE NEW AMTRASH PRESIDENT, THIS WILL BE THE ONLY WAY TO SEE AN AMTRAK TRAIN!
fantastic!
Wow,terrific, thanks for posting,.😐
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Nice story mode for a model train video.
where are u, I neeeeed your train set and layout especially one of the bog boys and some other engines
Very cool.
How steep is that grade running up and over the yard?
'
beautifully HO model scale train...
should make a MX missile in military train in the boxtrailer
very nice
love the scenarios u have created.. can u put the dd44ax on Amtrak cars? thx
Thanks, and the DD40 get to pull my UP passenger car set.
+Railfan Jason oh ok cool and thx
Pls increase the speed of train if possible when train is in straight track
Awesome deos 822 have ESU sound?
Yea it does, both it and the UP have it.
***** i could tell that up had it cuz that bronze bell sounds like my Vermont Railway 207
impressive thank you for sharing ..I liked the Resue power move ..modelling in today's world is so realistic ..Amtk Loco kept shutting down ..UP Was the Protect Engine. .from Dispatch. .
Wow, thanks, appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks again. What a great effort & visionary ...
+Railfan Jason recently I saw a similar actual rescue video .date& amtk train No. unknown ..Gennie brakes failed to release a CSX rescue Loco I think it was Fayetteville N.C .....
btw Siemens testing new Diesel Loco @Co.testing facility. .I'm hearing to start replacing Geenie Locomotives in the future ..nice Video testing too. .I'm think the nickname is Siemens "Charger"...
Scott Bentham Yes the Chargers are beginning to arrive and they are ugly af
Wow just wish I had some coffee while I was watching that would have really made my day. Is that a club layout or someone's personal?
TrashMan2008 He says it's a club layout.
Cool video
it is awsome.... but from where did you purchase it from
Purchase which one?
Just look up HO Scale Amtrak and look under 'today' and you will see it
Just Great
So in the Sene where 822 leaves his train to head over to MI2 is that supposed to look like he's on the Amtrak Exhibit train? because it did.
That was a coool video for sure!
haha... nah, it was just pure chance that's what was there. The F40 and Amfleet car set belongs to another member. Thanks!
***** Oh it looks like it!
Where did you get the Pontiac Grand Prix car in the beginning of the video?
Most likely at some train show/swap meet.
Do you know the difference between its and it's??? I didn't think so.
Did you know that "it's" is irrelevant to the point of the video??? I didn't think so.
Nice Amtrak locomotive I haven't had one since 1996) Athearn p40 can't remember paint scheme.
12:09 There goes the Amtrak P42, and the cars sit there for the P40 to Pick up.
That's my BNSF Gevo intermountain by Southern gevo heritage at the Gwinnet fair Train exhibit 2018) September
I'm thinking of a HO Scale Shoe Locomotive.
So realistic!!!!!
And this is a fun vid
Rule number 1: if a P42 doesn't work, call up a P40
Good rule.

Is that loksound? Or tsunami?
Add a derailment once in a while to complete the Amtrak experience
I like it! Will you be going to the National Train Show this year?
Thanks, and no. Can't afford to go to Indiana.
Totally Cool
Thanks!
how do you make it so when your pulling a loco not running the wheels don't drag
The "dead" locomotive wasn't actually dead. It works perfectly fine. I just called it up and consisted it with the UP unit. This video was done to showcase the sound and lighting effects of the UP and Amtrak 822 units. So basically, the locomotives were the "actors" in this Operations Session.
+Railfan Jason ok
Railfan Jason can you do a video of the trains going thru the signal lights?
Unfortunately the signals are nonfunctional, just there for looks.
Why phase III cars? Are they the only ones that you have?
First reason is that they match the 822, second, I don't like the current phase. P3 i my favorite, and all that I have. Also, Amtrak is using that scheme again in some areas.
I wish I had this layout
