Awesome HO Scale BN Model Train Layout in HD - 2-21-2009

Ғылым және технология

Take a look at Tim Dickinson's wonderful HO Scale Burlington Northern empire as we follow a grain train, with manned helpers, over the mountain and through numerous yards and staging tracks.
While the video shows an overall view of the layout, it's difficult to get appreciation for the quality level of this railroad without actually seeing it in person.

    Absolutely great. I worked on the Northern Pacific as a boy, then in the 70's as a welder on Welding Crew #3 on the Burlington Northern. This layout reminds me of the Western Montana area, starting with picking up helpers west of Helena to push the load over Mullen Pass. Very enjoyable...thanks!

    I got sucked into model railroading with my hubby's garden railroad when I met him in HS. We've been into HO and G ever since. We model BN after his passion for living near the Chicago-Aurora Racetrack line. I grew up originally near KCS. But My passion has become BN aswell.

    I like the casualness of this video. The reality gets awesome and then a giant head pops up - oh that's right it's a model. It is fun how you made use of the space and how the contrast between HO space and the basement is evident. OK so some will say this detracts from the realism and that may be true but it is an interesting ingredient to entertain.

    Wow, that is so cool :) I was part of a N-scale rail association, when i was 12-14, located in a safe room which i think had about 300 meters of tracks. Up until then i had used H0 but changed to N so i could run trains on the railway. Havent used/built or seen something like this in over 10 years, brings back memories. And H0 looks cooler to be honest.
