Extremely well done scenery. I am just beginning my n-scale layout (I know this is HO-scale), first model train layout for me, having dreamed of doing this since I was a young boy. Your skill at scenery making gives me a very high bar to strive for. Thank you for sharing.

The level of modeling and detail on this "touring" railroad is incredible! I'm in the US so highly likely I will be at any of the shows, although the Milton Keynes one would be fun as it also the cradle of building and testing of some of the Formula 1 race teams. Can we please have more videos and info on this BN layout? I is EXACTLY how I would like my efforts to turn out.

Thank you very much! I stain the wood with Indian ink. I then put masking fluid on (with a cocktail / tooth pick) and paint over it using acrylic paint. I then rub it down using fine sand / emery paper which reveals the wood where I had applied the masking fluid. I’m going to do a video on it over summer (when I get some time).

Depressing thinking about the traffic dwindling. Sad when they tore up the shortlines everywhere in the 70's and 80's.. Pissed me off when they tore out the BN (hannibal and St.Joe) RR across N. Missouri..

Thank you for the kind words. My personal view is that railroads faced unfair competition from trucks (roads being heavily subsidised) and then in effect, the subsidised river barges.

Hi David, thank you for the kind words. The lighting is an LED strip light - medium cold. I think the key is to light from the front. We are exhibiting the layout at the Folkestone Model Railway show this weekend (I’m typing this at the hotel on the Friday night having just set up the layout). So many of the layouts are lit from on top or even behind and the layouts are in silhouette. I’ll do a video tomorrow at the show on the lighting.😊

Good point. Everybody wants to get home as soon as possible. It's a tricky one - what is right and what looks right on a model. I had to take out the tunnel portals on my N scale layout because despite being absolutely prototypical with the centre cut out at the top for double-stacks, they just didn't look right. I think it's similar with scale speeds. I use the Accutrack speedometer. This is something I need to work on / look at when we exhibit the layout this coming weekend. Thanks for the good point that you make. Certainly something I need to think about.

I like the realism. Your weathering is what I'm aiming for. What technique did you use?

Absolutely spot on! I’ve set it on an imaginary branch line that ran between the NP at Palouse and the SP&S at Lantz. I called it Kamiack - fictional (as opposed to Kamiak - a place that actually exists). Thanks for tej kind comment. Peco did a few articles on the layout in their magazine here in England giving the background. You’ve given me a great idea for my next video, which will be about the background / setting of the layout. I’ve just got back from exhibiting the layout at a show this weekend, down on the coast at Folkestone. Thanks again.

One idea for modeling the palouse. Feature a pea and bean warehouse. They where great industry to model as some got peas and beans in covered hoppers by rail from the dakotas. Then finished product out in box cars. Lots of switching. =-)

Thank you! It is a switching shelf layout that fits in the car so that we can take it to shows. The scenic section is 9 feet long with 4.5 foot long stagings at either end. The idea is that I can then plug it into my home layout - when I move house, and unplug it when I want to take it to a show. The next video shows the overall length and how we set it up at shows: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dWeGx6mqmrOtfbw.htmlsi=LPUGVuvlqaVOF6uQ

Thank you. This is the Atlas Gold version with (I think) and early Loksound fitted as standard. I now have the Rapido version and I’ve started on a video doing a comparison. In effect, the Rapido looks far superior and is the correct variant for the Burlington Northern - unlike the Atlas model. Also , the Rapido has lots of nice touches including the beacon - which is missing on the Atlas. However, the sound on the old Atlas is far superior and much more like the prototype. I’ve just started weathering the Rapido models.
