Wow, That's amazing. I haven't seen Conrail trains since I was a little boy. The all blue locomotives. It's been years. What a pleasant stroll down memory lane.
The realistic modeling of the junk collected under the overpass is very wonderful. I have not seen that before in a layout. Thanks for posting this video.
Just outstanding modeling, all the fine detailing & weathering is superb. The newspaper litter, under the bridge, along with everything else is just excellent work. The video camera work is perfect also. Thanks for posting as I enjoyed this layout very, very much !
One word says it all........Wundebar... This layout is awesome. Street railroading, the buildings, and even the Cadillac Ambulance now a hearse. Great automobile collection in that, and the signs (although we don't always have gun shows), but the intricate detail of the Supermarket, street paving, and that lovely lighted Amtrak sign really made this a well thought out train layout. Kudos on a job well done!
I'd love to know what the total investment cost would be of this. Probably soo much higher than I would even guess. Final result though....worth it! That AMTRAK billboard was insanely epic!
That's difficult to say, honestly .. we've been putting some two to four years work into it ... not in a row of course, but met us regularly, like once or twice per month for several hours to push the progress forward.
So the era would be?? 1970? i see a lot of early sixties vehicles but an AMC Gremlin and a late sixties GMC caught my eye, so I have to put it at 1970? The police truck at the crossing is late sixties short box. The dress is casual 1970? Lose the Gremlin and a few vans/trucks and this would actually be early sixties. Buses that design were long gone by 1970 in the west. Maybe they were still being used on the east coast USA
Dwight st. john, it's somewhere between 1976 and 1980. The era is the early years of Conrailsomwhere in a fictional place not too far away from New York. We tried as good as possible to capture the time ... I was born 1978, so I don't count as an eye witness :D But thanks to books and firend ins the US we could do some good research and got it close. If you'd say 1970, then we did a great job I'd say ;)
If this was made in Germany, why is it American themed? Not that I have anything against that. It just seems odd that they didn't model after their own country.
True about the comment "in recent years" .. but we've been modeling the US prototype since a while ... Having family in the US there is different connection than just doing something different.
This railroad has set a new standard in detail, in my opinion.... The realism is unbelievable.
This layout may very well set a standard for urban detail that other modelers will have to aim for. Truly astounding attention to the littlest detail.
This is mind blowing! Wow!

Absolutely fantastic!
looks like real life. all the locomotives / train cars are weathered...good job. I am so tired of looking at layouts with bright new trains and cars.
ya some of the layouts are fantastic, then the trains and cars look like they are made out of plastic.
Beautifully done

Love all the mini scenes like the funeral etc

My apologies if I overlooked, but is this in Göppingen?
It was filmed in Utrecht, The Netherlands

Pan-Tilt-slides with Edius video editor.

Why was a Amtrak carrying freight when its a passenger company not freight
Amtrak freight trains... ok

Ahh that explains things
