- Enjoy the cab view sights and sounds of BNSF and UP trains on my partly complete HO Tehachapi Loop layout. A present day DCC operation with tunnels, bridges, paved roads, structures, operating signals, operating crossing gates with a maximum grade of 2.2 %.

I love your train set up
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
The engineer received a gold star on the annual review. 😀
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic Layout!!!!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Pretty amazing layout, I can’t imagine the work you put into making this,great job.
Thanks! Yes, it was a lot of work but I enjoyed it!
Thanks for the awesome Cabaret you have an awesome layout and you are on my shout-out list
My cab forward 4294 would look great on this track. Excellent build!
Wow! I like this even better than the other!
Wow, this must have taken years to create. It should be on a TV show.
It has taken about 10 years with the help mostly one person. See the credits below the videos. BTW, the video you viewed is an old one.
2:50, what a nice engineer on that BNSF train. He turned his headlights off for you!
Enjoyed the cab ride ... nice layout .
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks! I know it would, because a friend brought his cab forward and ran it on the layout.
Some people would complain if they won the lottery. Just enjoy the signals, scenery, and layout. LOT of time here.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome layout my friend
Thanks Chris! Glad you enjoyed it.
If you read the description, below the video, my layout is set in the present day that is why the concrete ties. The description also states that the layout is not complete that is why no barriers etc. If you like the 60s/70s there are others on UA-cam or build you own.
Ron Ciminero I never understand why there are folks that just have to always find something wrong. Keep up the good work buddy. The layout looks great IMHO 😃👍
Very cool cab ride. Thanks for sharing I liked and subbed to your channel
Thanks!
Ron Ciminero no problem bud 👍
Enjoyed the cab ride ..
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
wow that's a fun video
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
FYI, this is the old version of the Cab Ride West. The new version Cab Ride West Update clearly shows a barrier on the road in question.
At 1:35, why does that road just dead end there? No barriers, no cul-de-sac to flip a u-turn, nothing. And your ties are grey, like concrete, so this is set in the modern day. I like railroads set in the 60s/70s, since that is when I was a kid watching trains go by.
cool ho scale layout you got
Thanks!
Ron Ciminero your welcome and you should check out my new video's on my channel and please subscribe to me
I actually thought this was real for a few seconds. 😀
It is real, but just HO scale. 😁
Thanks!

what camera do you use? Nice video and layout!
Thanks! The camera is a GoPro Hero3+. All the electronics, hardware and software are listed under "Show More" just below the description.
Dumb question, Are you going to ballast your turnouts?
Fair question. I attempted to ballast one which resulted in derailments. Perhaps the ballast was too large. It's on my list.
(must be a 1940's Baldwin 4-8-8-2 cab forward)
Actually, SD70Ace shoving a well car with a mounted GOPRO Hero 3
Just kidding due to the fact that the view showed no locomotive. I have the "TEHACHAPI!" video and the Bakersfield to Barstow "Cab Ride" video. I have been camping at warren since 1976. Today, it's a 11 hour drive to Warren but still worth it. You know about Warren?
Not familiar with rule 52. At what time in video?
Hi. I believe it was at 0:52 in the video - you passed an absolute stop signal without stopping and request/granted permission to proceed past the red aspect.
@@scottb8175 I run JMRI to control the signals etc by running a script that initializes the turnouts and signals but I may not have run it that session.
@@wxnut1941 Yes, I saw the signal was tripped early by the train. Just an issue with block detection / signal timing I guess....
My previous layouts (loosely modelling 1950's SP) all had DC block wiring, with only track occupancy detection operated upper quadrant ABS semaphores in a few places, so I haven't tried any DCC signaling yet. My new layout will be set in 1895, so I'm undecided if there will be any signals on it at all beside maybe train order boards. My son's small portable 1960 era CPR/CNR layout is going to be DCC, but we haven't put in his searchlight ABS signals yet. The trackwork and scenery base isn't finished (we are currently replacing all the commercial turnouts and crossings we used to get the mainline running quickly with scratch built ones) and the layout operates with manually thrown turnouts with route/frog polarity switched simple DC until all the track, bus, feeder, and reverse track wiring is in and tested.
Violation :52 ;) LOL
Too bad the signals are not even close to being accurate.
Neglected to initialize the signals before capturing video.
