Thisvis why i love model railroading. Everything bis well detailed all the freight trains 💯 fantastic. Love the CSX .Not sure it's a GP 15 or GP 30 Love the switching duties. ❤ Excellent video.👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nice detail on the rolling stock. So many of these lay outs put so much effort into the diorama, then run trains that look like they are plastic toys. Nice work.
Great video !!!! , probably the best layout video out there , the video's on Bob Rivard's SOO LINE 1977 layout is very impressive as well , the weathering and detail on your layout is a benchmark on how a layout and it's detail should be done , thank you for sharing .
This video is amazing and one of the best I have seen. So much detail but one thing has been overlooked and that is the semi trailer doesn't get parked on asphalt as it will punch holes through it.
thanks! to be honest, it's those comments I received over the last 15 years which resulted in the work you see. Without constructiove critism, what could be done better or what is not actually realistic, I wouldn't be able to improve the skills and get it to that level. So thanks again to you David Barrera and everybody not shy of speaking up to when they spot something :D
Nice video! Excellent layout! One constructive criticism: the CSX locomotive and the Sullivan Scrap Holyoke MA gondola seem out of place. The CSX railroad only extends as far west as Chicago and St Louis; the gondola would deliver scrap steel to a steel mill and Minneapolis is not known for having steel mills.
Ok,time for some further infos....the "layout" actually was composed togehter for the convention out of two home layouts.As "plentum2 mentioned one part was 'North Minneapolis" build by me and is based on an industrial area along the Mississippi .Part two is "York Rail" created by Denis A.Tne SOO/CP units the gons are belonging to my section and were all weathered and detail by me...the hoppers with the outstanding graffiti are Denis'work.Unfortunaly his great detailed York Rail CF7s were not in evidence in this movie....The CSX GP was only guest unit.....
Funny some of the most detailed, impressive, realistic HO scale North American layouts are modeled by Europeans? This one is flawless. Just look at Model Railroader magazine and you will see a couple of Europeans who are at the top of the ladder in modeling American rail, and this is right there with them.
Depends :D The 4 sections of York Rail are each 90cm x 40cm, the Minneapolis parts are all 50cm deep and mostly 100cm long. The way to interconnect two different types is due to an adopted FREMO NAI norm.
Well, yes, not all, but a lot The York Rail Part is mine, int he video you see guest CSX material siwtching on the layout. The Minneapolios Part is by Frank M.
Wow just Wow absolutely amazing just fabulous outstanding Job you have a lot of talent keep up.the good work looking forward to seeing more i subscribed to your channel also 😊😊

This layout is spectacular!!!The detail is outstanding!This is what a Modell railroad should look like.
Very nice detail! Even the trash dumpster was overfilled lol!
Dull coat and weathering really make a layout come to life. I spray everything with thin India ink. Really adds depth to scenery and shadows pop.
The rust, the dirt, the grime...... the finishing touches to a visual feast!
The weathering detail this layout displays is what separates it from most of the rest.
My eyes never get tired.
Very well done!
Amazing detail, and flawless execution. This layout is a work of art!!!!!
Thanks PILENTUM for putting the video online, apreciated!
Hey, fantastic scenery!! This level of detail is what we all stride for !

Edward, very good explanation! But note, this layout was built by German model railroaders.
@@pilentum Yes, and they've outdone themselves and created a very realistic layout!
Where do you get the switch visible at @4:00 ?
Das ist wunderbar ! Litauen
Awesome

What did you use to make the scrap metal in the gons?
Are you known as "Frank" on the "Rust Bucket forum"?under the Camden Line posting?

because Americans are lazy and don't want to build anything. Reason there's more "I gawt thius Bakmen oval trakc fur sell" "$400 or bettur offur"
@@AbelG8781 Not all americans are lazy. But I will agree some people dont give a layout it's full potential.
Brilliant, video, well done! Can you give me (us) a link with more info or photos of this layout? Thanks a lot!
Photos and info at www.pilentum.org
Thanks, but I already found those photos. Can you tell me where this layout is from and who build it, I would love to see more of it.
Very good, very realistic, to be perfect why don't you use natural light when recording ?
brilliant video and incredible work. What are the dimensions? I'm thinking of doing something similar
+Blake Padilla
Thank you. Dimensions: 0.8 meter x 4.0 meter

amazing weathering did you do it?
Well, yes, not all, but a lot The York Rail Part is mine, int he video you see guest CSX material siwtching on the layout. The Minneapolios Part is by Frank M.
Very impressive! I just subscribed also.
Wow just Wow absolutely amazing just fabulous outstanding Job you have a lot of talent keep up.the good work looking forward to seeing more i subscribed to your channel also 😊😊
Great job on the filming, the layout or both? :P
