- Defiance and Northern Railroad The D&N is a modern day freelanced Class 2 railroad interchanging with CSX and NS. BNSF and CN share trackage rights with the D&N. It has a two track main line with operating signals. A lower staging yard provides trains for the main line. The D&N features a scratch built underpass and overpass, scratch built rail lubricator, industrial siding, intermodal yard, the City of Defiance, the Town of MacGregor and finally a talking defect detector. The layout measures 9’ x 20’ and height is 51”. Scenery is 100% complete.

This layout is FANTASTIC! I really like the detail of everything including graffiti, dumpster, just perfect well done.😊
Thanks. Much appreciated!
@@blt2haulI'm guessing it must have taken months maybe years to perfect this fantastic layout?😊
@@Robert.2927 Actually I have working on this layout for 20 years! I finally finished it up during the pandemic. Thanks, again.
Nice capture of a modern day railroad in a gritty urban landscape. Well done.
@@oglemansviews675 Exactly what I was trying to achieve. Thanks
Very nice, thanks for sharing. Dave
Outstanding layout! Lots of details! Thank you for the tour!
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Perfect job! Really, like really! Congratulations!👏👍🚉
👍 Much appreciated!
Excelente maquete, parabéns pelo canal !
Yes, Need4life is ‘top shelf’. 👍
Where is this layout located? Excellent layout!
Northeastern United States
outstanding layout
Well done, sir. Especially like the use of the mirror in the city scene. Also, did I see at least one N scale house to achieve forced perspective?
Very observant! Actually, there are three N scale structures located above the street rod shop. A cabin with porta-potty and a forest service observation tower. Nice catch!👍
Nice attention to detail with over flowing dumpsters and graffiti. Just a great job all around. Lots of love involved.
I was just about to comment on the graffiti myself. 🙂
@RobertAdams-k7c And it is at the proper level too. Just a cool touch.
@@RobertAdams-k7c Thanks!
I like the old life-like KFC, boarded up like they should be.
Thanks 👍
Incredible layout; artistic and detailed. Excellent video as well!
Thank you.
Very clean. A fantasy world. I like it! Well done. Nice weathering on the trains themselves.
Thanks for the kind words. 👍
Spectacular!
👍
Finally, someone that has chosen a certain time period and has stuck with it! Everything from locomotives to rolling stock to vehicles, businesses and buildings. Nothing drives me crazier than steam locos pulling intermodals, or SD70ACe's pulling 40' livestock cars. Bravo.....well done!
Thanks for the kind words. I tried hard to stick to the theme. I’ve sold off all my older rolling stock to be era correct. My favorite is, a ‘shiny wheeled’ being pulled by Thomas the Tank Engine! 😂 Happy scale model railroading!
Beautiful scenery!
Thank you, very much!👍

This is the best I have ever seen.
Thank you 👍
I really enjoy people that create their own Railroad companies! Q: Why are the reporting marks sometimes DN and sometimes DNLX? I always thought only leasing companies do use an X on the ending. Other than that: Nice layout with lots of details! Also it's somehow refreshing to see a project which is neither a switching layout (like mine 😅) nor a huge double-deck empire, but a "normal sized" layout.
Thanks for the comments. Actually you have hit the nail on the head! DNLX is a subsidiary of the Defiance and Northern. Defiance and Northern Locomotive Leasing (DNLX) purchases older units, refurbishes them mechanically and makes them available to other railroads for economical dependable power. 👍
@@blt2haul Great story, love that concept 👍 Thanks for answering that!
Great layout plenty to inspire me
👍 Go for it!
