  • For almost four decades, the Treasure Coast Model Railroad Club and Historical Society, Inc. have been bringing the fun and historical perspective of model railroading to the Treasure Coast. In 1975 three model railroaders in Vero Beach determined that there was interest in forming a Model Railroad Club. The Club thus had its beginning with this nucleus of interested hobbyists. The Treasure Coast Model Railroad Club declared itself as an actual organization on September 2, 1975.
    The railroad is modeled during the transition era between steam and diesel power of US railroads, which occurred between the 1940's to the 1970's. It is HO scale (1:87), utilizing a Digitrax DCC control system.
    Layout has two major freight yards, 2 city passenger stations, several industrial complexes, a freight harbor, steel mill and a coal mine. In addition, there are three cities, several towns, lakes, mountains and a desert.
    Many of the structures are lit as are signs, street lights, railroad crossings, and even vehicular traffic lights!

    It's been 3 months since the last time I watched this video. I'll be back again and again, but it won't take me 3 months! The detail is truly amazing! The power lines, lights, flashing signs, trolley car line, the black 1960 Chevy El Camino ( I have owned 4 real ones), close to Hotel Gotham and the man in the out house. Brick/cobblestone streets, lightning through the cloud, the city bus with one headlight out, the ball game and so much more! If that place was real, I'd be there in a month! Life was so genuine and simple back then, how I long for those good ole' days! The dedication and hard work those people put into this is AWESOME! Thank you!

    Impressive. Many club layouts that I have seen have too much track and are all about operations. This layout is really balanced between stunning scenery and operations. Each scene has lots of detail to tell a story without getting cluttered. Kids flying kites. Now that's creative! I will be watching this video several times to get ideas for my layout.

    This is one of the nicest layouts I've ever seen in HO scale - which was the scale I had as a kid (too young really, to appreciate it) but this makes me wish I'd kept on going.
    Even a miniature layout in part of a basement, of this kind of standard, would be swell.
    One of the first things I noticed was the length of the train. For some reason, I notice in many displays in different scale setups, the trains tend to be relatively short.
    Respect to the Treasure Coast Model Railroad Club. Nice work!

    I love this layout! So much pain staking work went into this. The details, signs, lights, people, buildings, all of it is a true work of art. I do have 1 constructive things to add ........every train looks as if it's right out of the shop. Having worked for Sante Fe and Amtrak, this is the only think I can add. None of the locomotives or cars are weathered which would blow the mind to see! Thank you! 🌟

    I had to create a new folder for this one - Model RR the BEST ONES . This is BY FAR the most fantastic MRR video I have seen yet !! I Shit you NOT ! Videography is above and beyond; Color is superior ; the model itself is 200% in every category; backdrops are best in show, especially, how they blend ; and the Music is PERFECT for this application - I never considered using the G Dead or STS9 or Tangerine Dream as soundtrack for MRR - REALLY beats the "true sound" effects that most videos attempt and fail at . There is just NO WAY to put the actual sound of something like 1225 or 4015 , or a SD70 for that matter , across a video ! Even to have it trackside AT THE MODEL would require no less than 4000 watts and a full surround sound system worth nearly as much as the model . BRAVO !! to the club and Need4Life !!! Truly amazing ! It is very easy to overlook the small issues that the other folks mention like weathering, and era mismatches when seeing the full model .

    A beautiful layout I'm jealous of. The only thing missing was a mainline passenger train, I saw the interurban train but a crack mainline passenger train would be the icing on the cake. The detail on the layout is mind-boggling in every aspect. As a train buff I understand, but when I saw Thomas the tank engine I did cringe a bit.

    • @Need4Life
      @Need4Life  8 місяців тому +1

      The HO scale ratio is 1:87 but G scale can refer to any ratio of model railroad that is larger than O scale. Ratios include 1:32; 1:29; 1:24; 1:22.5; 1:19; and 1:12.
