Looks awesome! My only recommendation if I may, he should add a delay to the signal block. I run my signals with JMRI and if you add a 15 second delay to the block to show unoccupied, the signals will stay red until the train passes (or mostly passes). At least it’s a temporary fix until most of the rolling stock has resistors! It’s easy to do if using JMRI… it’s frustrating seeing a signal drop to clear while half the train still needs to pass!! Enjoyed this and all your other videos, keep them coming!
The focus since I began following your channel has been on the area surrounding the train station. I'm slowly learning how much beautiful work you've already completed on the rest of your layout.
Dear Sir, The landscaped parts of your flabbergasting layout are very realistic indeed! Congratulations on the beautiful work! When i think of complaining about the harsh winter we are having here in Rio (16oC - 62oF), i will remember the photos of your new tractor... Cheers from not-so-cold Brazil!
OUTSTANDING layout as it's so realistic and beautiful, so we'll done. Superb camera angles, supremely weathered locomotives and rolling stock as there's nothing to dislike here and you've inspired me much more now to finally add the CN road name to my small fleet of locomotives and rolling stock (in addition to Canadian Pacific). Wonderful inspiring video, THANK YOU! Superb and BRAVO to you!
Watching the ore cars made me think I was in downtown Washago! Junction of the Newmark and Bala subdivisions. Well done the scenery , locomotives and rolling stock just come together in a very convincing manner. Well done again!
I dont believe I have ever seen a model railroad, look so, unlike a model! MAN! You've done some excellent work. Do you do your own weathering, and decoder/LED light installs, or do you buy them like that? Thank you for sharing!
Love the iron ore cars. Those were used to move ore from the Sherman and Adams mines to Dofasco steel mill in Hamilton. Ontario Northland would move them to North Bay and then CN would take them the rest of the way down south.
I really loved the backdrop, how did you do that? i can't find any photograph like that with good size to print, always is small size or small resolution, do you have any website to find this?
One thing I like about your scenery is the backdrop. Is there such a thing as an electronic backdrop for certain areas which can be changed to represent different skies such as clear blue , grey overcast , storms ? sunsets and nighttime? That would be cool.
when the cn freight was on the siding haveing a nice lunch waiting for via to finely get out of the way . when it was cn's green flag to hit the dam road who ever was driving has never watched or listened to a train loaded and stoped get going again . RUN 8 FULL BLAST and real SLOW 10mph for a little bit . did that happen .............NO it was run 3 and 95mph . that DOOOON'T happens
Spectacular layout
Thanks very much
By far one of the most picturesque and realistic layouts out there. The attention to detail impresses me everytime I see it. Thanks for posting this.
I was showing this to my wife to show her how good the weathering on the locos was. She then said "oh wait, I thought that it was a REAL train!"
Love the scenery!! Trains look great with their weathering.
I am just floored at how scale and accurate this layout is. Someone has a perfect eye for detail and proportions. Just Wow, Wow ,Wow!!!!
I swore that opening clip was real! They are perfectly weathered.
2:53 I like the wheels turning effect from the weathering
The view of the crossing with the van/caboose at the end of the train was brilliant !!! The crossing flashers and telephone poles look great !
I'm so impressed by the quality of filming, your images looks so real. I loved everything I seen. Congratulation.
Very impressive, especially the smoothness of the track. There’s no bouncing up and down. Great job!
Another thumbnail that fooled me into thinking it was an old David Othen railfan vid/lashup!
Love your Caramat Sub videos!
Your ground cover is always so good.
Seeing that many gp40-2ws just makes me smile
The weathered locomotives look fantastic !!! What a masterpiece of a layout !
Such an impressive layout. The detail, the weathering and just the sheer scale of how big it is. Keep up the great work!
Fan-freakin-tastic. That’s what’s model railroading is all about. The realism is mind blowing.

Thanks for the info!
Wow these models are so cool looking. The layout looks like from the 1990s
A Mind blowing video of a world class layout.

the shot starting at 3:40 looks absolutely fantastic. Great angle!
Excellent modeling and nifty camera work.
Man, this layout has some great scenery but wow those curves sure are tight on the radius.
Really cool Zebra lashup, great video!!!
Beautiful layout I love your back drops
I remember seeing those iron ore trains going south on the bala sub in the early eighties

The best I've seen, and an excellent era to model.
That's awesome. I thought it was real in the beginning. Awesome 👌

Wonderful scenery. Power lines on the poles-WOW! So much detail. Thanks for posting.
Just beautiful.
I have to say your friend's layout is *Fantastic* really captures that flavour of Northern Ontario,..now if it was steam era....
Very nice, especially the scenery and weathering, etc., which is superb.
Gorgeous scenery- what a lovely layout. Would love to see more.
Fantastic as always Ben, thank you.
Wow looks so real! Just amazing craftsmanship! Would love to see more
Lots of detail and craftsmanship here. Excellent job and awesome video. ✌️👍✌️
I remember the kinghorn sub as a kid your trains resemble the ones I saw in about 1975
You deserve so many props for all this. Such amazing presentation too! The crane at 8:31 is so cool!
Watching the ore cars made me think I was in downtown Washago! Junction of the Newmark and Bala subdivisions. Well done the scenery , locomotives and rolling stock just come together in a very convincing manner. Well done again!
Well done! Your layout is amazing and the weathering on the units are spot on
The SD 40 on the point ! Excellent. Another great video of an amazing layout. Well done!

Absolutely fantastic!!
Loved every minute of it!
Well done!!

Do you do your own weathering, and decoder/LED light installs, or do you buy them like that?
Thank you for sharing!
Tell Justin his layout is awesome and one of the best there is. Thanks BA Rail Systems ! 👍
Awesome video! Really showed off how nice your layout is. 👍
That is a beautiful layout.
Really a spectacular layout, very realistic!
Love the iron ore cars. Those were used to move ore from the Sherman and Adams mines to Dofasco steel mill in Hamilton. Ontario Northland would move them to North Bay and then CN would take them the rest of the way down south.
Very realistic. I had to look hard at the opening scene to see it was a model.
Nice video!
Outstanding in every area!
Excellent views of the SD-40 #5001 leading the train. Sound FX are great as well . 👍
I love the CN stripes!
Outstanding!!!!!
This layout is insane
Good show. What are those cars caring? Gravel?

Another excellent shot of a crossing at 2:00

Beautiful layout! What kind of cars are those in the consist?
Awesome beautiful outstanding goddamn it excellent layout and probably your best video yet !!! 😀❤
Your friends layout is sweet Ben,
what commodity is carried in those
hoppers?
Beautiful work. Love this layout. What's the key for @4:00?
VIA coming towards the camera is nice also
@1:25 - I love this shot. Where do you get the 'Do Not Trespass' signs for the bridge?
I don't know if I like the VIA or Ontario Northland F unit better
I love this
I really loved the backdrop, how did you do that? i can't find any photograph like that with good size to print, always is small size or small resolution, do you have any website to find this?
100 % Wow.
If you have it, I’d love to see that same train with ONR as the power on the head end..
Sure do, we will work that into the next video
Nice thumbnail!
One thing I like about your scenery is the backdrop. Is there such a thing as an electronic backdrop for certain areas which can be changed to represent different skies such as clear blue , grey overcast , storms ? sunsets and nighttime? That would be cool.
What sort of cars are these in the first consist? I don't think I've ever seen this type before. Thx.
Whom did you purchase the crossing gates package from?
i thought this was real :)
when the cn freight was on the siding haveing a nice lunch waiting for via to finely get out of the way . when it was cn's green flag to hit the dam road who ever was driving has never watched or listened to a train loaded and stoped get going again .
