I live in Logan, WV and I’m a little bit of a local history buff, not to mention I love trains, and the C&O railroad display looked so authentic. Especially the coal mine scene was right on the money. Right down to the mountain side and trees. Colors and texture of everything was exactly what it looked like around here. I especially liked how he captured the sunlight just hitting the top of the tree tops cause the bottom of the holler was the very last to get any sunlight, if any at all. The coal houses and structures were excellent and placed right where you would see them. Houses right up to the coal mine. Phenomenal work. Congratulations
This man has done more for this hobby than most of us are aware.
Tony you are one great modeler, excellent scenery....boomers my other favorite.. master modeler....great work, joe
This video and interview is wonderful. My Grandfather worked on the Nickel Plate for 40 years. His home was in Cayuga. This has given me a chance to see what it was like for him on the train.
I bow to the master, Ted Pamperin. As a C&O guy I strive to achieve his level of realism he has achieved. Love the layout and hope to see it in person one day.
Absolutely fantastic Tony. Really captures the era.
I met Tony Koester at Allen McClellan's V&O "farewell to steam" operating session.
This would have been in 1980 or 1981. This was a long time ago.
Tony at the time operated his Allegheny Midland RR.
I spent many hours in the basement running trains(and otherwise goofing off too) on the V&O. it was a great time.
This is an amazing layout! Massive props to Tony! Nickel Plate is one of my favorite roads.
There aren’t enough dedicated steam layouts like this. They’re great
Yes I agree! And those that are out need to need to be videoed and preserve for future generations
Scenery is just amazing. I wish I had the talent to get steam running and looking that good.
Having seen both of these layouts, and operated on Ted Pamperin’s C&O layout, I can say they are both world class railroads.
Well James you did it again WOW THANKS for your gifts and Abilities to see the Opportunity and Bring us these two GREAT LAYOUTS My 🎩 off to you God Bless you and all your Efforts! 🚂 C&O Guy
Very nice James. Was not expecting to see something this different on your channel. But it was very stunning.
Keep it up 👍🏻
I've always enjoyed listening to Tony! Great video! Thanks for sharing
What an outstanding layout. Nice video work...allowed us to really experience what it was all about!
The C & O layout with Thurmond and Hinton looks terrific
Hi James, Thank you for the information on this new company. I'm glad to see someone has picked up the baton now that Allen Keller has retired. What truly has blown my mind is this company is local to me. I hope they continue adding layout tours to their video collection. Cheers, Rich S.
Amazing model road and videoed by someone who knows how to operate a camera. Best I have ever seen.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the "railfan" perspective that I use for the "main story line" in my programs. Forrest Nace
Thanks for sharing the preview of this video. The videography is nice, but I'm not sure I like the dubbed sound effects. Tony's an amazing modeler with a wealth of knowledge. I always enjoy reading his monthly "Trains of Thought" column in MR. His layout is absolutely stunning! It should serve as motivation for all of us modelers.
Wow!! What a layout.
Brings back alot of memories
I'm from Altoona, the Horseshoe Curve, and the PRR Railroad shops.
Altoona had the world's largest steam locomotive shops
I'm from that PA Region too. Love the Horseshoe Curve and the PRR RR. My Wife's Grandfather was an engineer on the PRR on the K4s.
Two of the most realistic layouts I'll EVER see! Both men clearly geniuses of engineering and artistic ability; I would assume both are world class modelers. I'm starting my very 1st layout as soon as covid19 lock down ends. I have everything to learn, mistakes, re-does and successes await. Seeing what is possible via these beautiful layouts is very exciting. Really looking forward to the journey.
Greetings, Yes, both Tony and Ted are world class modelers, and unbelievably the C&O, which is Ted Pamperin's, is his first attempt at model railroading. I told him, no need for a second attempt! Both are amazing, and the more I videoed them, as well as Howard Zane's Piermont Division, the more impressed I was at the detailing and coloring / weathering that was done. Thank you for watching. Forrest Nace
From as far afield as South Africa Tony Koester has remained an example of how to build and operate train layouts.
Thank you for taking the time to do the video enjoyed it.🍻
I really enjoyed this. I've seen Tony in lots of Model RR videos.
Wow that's a solid layout and the filming job is good as well.
Amazing layout!
I love this layout, have ben waiting for a tour since I heard about it in MR. I saw your Spring Creek Model Trains video, and am planning to order from there-probably some BN SD40-2's or SD60M's
That was a maze video clip you put together there off the model trains it was good to see that layout there .👍👍 🚂 🚃 🚃 🚃
Amazing layout.
Most impressive layout
Great video my friend you and your family be safe
awesome video James..thx 4 sharing.. vinny
TK is always first class!
2:17-2:45 - beautifully shot. All your low angle shots scene are beautiful actually. So there was one before that and several after. You had a couple snippet sections of knowledge and w whole video like that for all aspects of the layout would have been cool as heck
Amazing!
That's bad to the bone 😎 my compliments sir
pretty neat presentation of the many diferent lines. whats filmed does appear to have that 'Rail Fan' perspective
For everyone's information, the sound is dubbed over BUT all of the sounds come from ESU Sound files. Quite the undertaking when you think about it!
Nice video!
The views on this video will skyrocket. It's been shared on a Cayuga Indiana Facebook page. They are excited.
Clover Leaf! I'm good to see some interest in the old CL west of Frankfort as you just don't see much of anything about it let alone an actual layout dedicated to it...
Nice video
Division point did a run of C&O 25' cabooses about 15 years ago. Overland also did various runs of C&O cabooses appropriate for steam diesel transition era. I noticed an L-1 4-6-4. I am wondering if this is from BLI or Precision Scale. Many fine brass locomotives from PFM/United, Key, OMI. The C&O ran f7 units A-B-A in the fifties. Peach Creek Hobbies and OMI did a run of C&O f7 A-B-A units about 20 years ago with custom painting.
Greetings Thomas, the NKP L-1 4-6-4 is a brass model from Nickel Plate Products, which are the only HO scale models of this locomotive ever made. They imported both versions with & without smoke deflectors, in 1977 and 1983. I do have one available for sale that has been professionally painted, upgraded with DCC & Sound, marker & cab lights, firebox flicker, and a new can motor installed, at www.nacesvideography.com under "Shop". Thank you for watching.
I like that 2-6-6-6.
Layout looks great especially the bridges. Just not a big steam fan.
Not too bad at 69. I saw some of the steam before they retired . Tks
so this is a group that will photo your layout? professionally ? this video was top notch,
Greetings, yes, I am a professional videographer & photographer that specializes in model railroads. Thank you for your compliments, best regards, Forrest Nace, Nace's Videography LLC
Are you sure this is a layout? It is very realistic and great dcc sounf
Sound
Do the sounds really come from the engines on this layout? They sound a lot better than my HO engines.
it's dubbed.
It's dubbed over BUT all of the sounds come from ESU Sound files.
Greetings, as Kevin & Adam stated, the audio sounds are all overlaid (dubbed), even though both Tony & Ted's locomotives all have sound installed. The reasons for this are many, but include adhering to copy-write laws, ability to control the recording environment (i.e.-no dog's barking, phones ringing, furnaces turning on, etc.), eliminating any modeler's locomotive sound issues such as worn out speakers, out of synch chuffing, and so on. However, in an agreement I made with ESU/Loksound, all of the locomotive sounds were created using their sound files, decoders, and their best available speakers, by way of a 13 decoder console I had custom built. So, your locomotives can sound this good. The only exception being the NKP 2-8-4 whistle blasts, where I used my own recordings of Fort Wayne's Berkshire no. 765.
@@nacesvideographyllc9075 The video was quite good, I enjoyed it. But the sound was the weakest part. It reminded me of a 1960's drum machie. I lated drums, I know what they sound like. I've also operated steam locomotives, I know what THEY sound like. In my opinion, you would have been better off recording a good DCC sound equipped unit, rather than a sound bite that repeated every 2 revolutions of the drivers. And 6 wheel passenger car trucks make 3 clacks when they go over a rail joint, not 2. I was dissapointed with the sound.
oh man this Sprizzy ad is killing me all the time now, is it the only ad they have? I still watch the full ad thou. helps creators get some money out of you tube.. Watch the ads, help the pennies flow,
I know Sparky, right? I've been asking James, How do I get one of those intros? I think it's really cool! Stay safe! Cheers, Danny
1:11 am in linden and broad daylight? Maybe pm instead? Lol
HO or N scale
Greetings Mike, this model railroad masterpiece is HO scale, thank you for watching, Forrest Nace
Why do these near artisans forget to put crew in all their working cabs, wires between the poles and between the fence posts etc. don’t blame me for being a details man oh and no passengers in the coaches
And why do people have to nitpick other peoples layouts? If you can do better then by all means go for it!
