  I’m currently sitting in a hotel overlooking Darling Harbour. That’s gotta be Sydney Harbour out that window in the video, isn’t it? Has to be… I grew up here before moving to Melbourne. Very cool!

  Hi Greg, yes glorious Sydney Harbour, Double Bay out the window not Darling Harbour. Love that little creek in the cold wet cow-paddock the locals call Melbourne....

  Thanks MW, very happy you picked up on this - sound is so much of the trackside experience - this video took a month of hobby time in the edit suite to match real train sounds with n scale train movements on the layout - my first vid so not sure if it would be worth the effort but I was surprised at how much it made the layout come to life for my own enjoyment. As Boomer says "this hobby is inexhaustible!"

  The train for North Platte is an "intermodal,". Perhaps you misspelled it by accident.

  Wow...stunning layout... nice view out the window. Sure beats a basement view. Speaking of views did you see Railfan Dan's vid on the potash facility? What fantastic scenery. Talk about inspiration. Hope you post more of this wonderful layout you have created...glad to be your 50th subscriber.

  Wait yes, I know the one, just posted recently - near Moab UT. We happened to drive in to Moab on vacation in 2019 on a Friday from northwest, and followed the weekly train coming in. 20 old covered hoppers and a couple of weathered SD40-2's, it was just like an n scale layout. I had no idea there is a railroad, we went for the National Parks (which are unbelievable). If you ever go, the drive from Moab to the potash plant is along a canyon of the Colorado River, can't see much of the railroad but the canyon is spectacular, and it continues northeast of Moab too. We saw the potash ponds from the road at the top of Canyonlands NP, saw some cars at the bottom of the canyon and thought "hmmm looks interesting". The Shafer Trail is the cattle track that takes you down - the descent in our rented Dodge Suburban along the shear cliff edge and switchbacks with a million feet over the edge was terrifying.

  Thanks John, the layout is in Sydney, Aus. I've been to the Canyon a few times and KZread railfan videos are a great source we couldn't dream of, like Railfan Dan. Lots of ground cover, trees, water, ballast etc still to come. Hope to post another vid in a few weeks.
