'Cab ride' at the La Mesa Model Railroad Club / LMMRRC - Part 1 

très belle et grandiose maquette de train continué comme ca❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's amazing how much a painted scenic background walls add to a layout.

Es ist ein Genuss, hier mit zu fahren.

I grew up in San Diego. My dad used to take me to the old building before it moved into the current one. In the 1980s it was fun to watch the beginnings of the layouts, but wow how far they have come. Can't wait to visit again

Much of the "finished" scenery is just breathtaking. Kudos!

Impeccable!!!!

I love the wide open layout, so different from most model railroads with trackage running all over and on top of each other. This makes the train and trackage look like part of the scenery, possibly taken from a real-world location, instead of the scenery just being added to the trackage to make it more 'realistic.'

It shows that a lot of great scenery is as good as buildings and people and this is done so wonderful thanks for the ride!!

These cab ride remembers me sitting as an Engineer on a hard working freight Train at Tehachapie Loop. I was a little bit shocked at 3:00, when three 'Goliaths' where coming up behind the curve! The Video gives a realistic impression of your wide country from the area as modelled. - In Germany we see often overloaded layouts like the famous 'Wunderland' in Hamburg. Our countryside here in the middle hills was well designed as the 'Modellbundesbahn' in Bad Driburg, now new in Brakel

Thanks for posting. Last time I was there was about 7 years ago, and the upper loop track was in and running but no scenery was in place yet. They have really expanded it since, and the base scenery is coming along nicely.

Joshua Jimenez you took the kids lol love you.

Wonderful Layout, Nice K5LA horns . Perfecto!👍🎯

Beautiful the scenery makes the layout

MAGNIFICENT! Some of the best terrain I've ever seen.

Superior scenery and track work! It's a joy to watch.

凄い！こんなにスケールの大きいジオラマの動画、初めて見ました。素晴らしいです！

except for the screaming kid, this video was awesome! thanks for posting!

After watching nsmodelert24's youtube tour and your "cab ride" I am speechless

Excellent rail movie!

Wow that is a HUGE layout☺

The LMMRRC is HO scale. The scenery is built with REALLY strong bases. I have personally observed two occasions (including one last week) when a QUALIFIED club member walked out onto the scenery to re-rail equipment on the Tehachapi Loop that was out of reach from the aisles. No damage to the scenery by this maneuver was detectable.

Nice layout.. enjoyed the ride along

Greetings from England, Beautiful back screen, looks like real painting was involved, well done. Great to see 'wide open spaces' depicted rather than a huge layout with masses of track work crammed in. Excellent. You may take the rest of the day off.

I take my son here all the time!!!

KI.LINDO Parabéns 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

An den Strommasten gehören noch feine Drähte gespannt. Das erhöht die Realität der Stromleitungen. Man kann diese dann auch für weitere Funktionen, wie zum Beispiel Lichter für Straßenlaternen verwenden oder Beleuchtungen in Miniaturhäuser....

Thank you so very much for posting this video; I've always wanted to see a cab-ride view of this layout as there are parts not visible from the viewing areas. I've been to the SDMRM a handful of times over 20+ years (and always gravitated to LMMRRC's and SDMRA's layouts). Sadly, I haven't been since summer of 2014. During that visit, I was graciously allowed a behind-the-scenes tour of SDMRA's SD&AE layout and it was amazing. Unfortunately I have my doubts I ever will visit again as my father (who lived in SD) passed from cancer 3 years ago and I live on the East Coast... Might I request an updated cab-ride video (to see what's changed)? Maybe a cab-ride video of the SD&AE layout, too? Thanks again!!

Great ride! Putting you on my next tour of Balboa Park!

Who is watching on 2x playback speed like me? ✌️

I can't help but wonder what if John Allan was still alive to see this. Imagine seeing his Gorre & Dephetid from this perspective:)

Scale? How do you reach parts of the RR? Beautiful scenery. Great track work.

no mention of what camera you used...

Hat sich in der Zeit nach 2019 im Weiterbau was getan?

My wife has been a florist for 35 years and it never occurred to me to use floral foam to hold/store trees. 7:45

are the searchlight signals at a scale height or are they a little bit taller than what they should be?

That must be a very large space! How do you afford it?

Okay, I admit I fast-forwarded my way through this impressively long trip, but I did not see any industries or switching opportunities beyond a couple of four-track (or so) yards. Did I just miss them, or is this layout very different from every other one I've seen?

This is a without parallel - certainly a lot more train than my little second hand Marx tin plate layout I was given many years ago. But I'm particularly interested in the structure of this build, I'm seeing lots of plywood and newspaper and expanded foam; considering the potential for fire wouldn't it have been better to use non combustible material instead, perhaps a plaster base material on wire lath?

Greetings from Red Wing Minn. Just asking what model railroad club was the movie Model Railroading Unlimited taken on? Is it still around. Just wondering. Stay healthy everyone we will get through this together.

At 5:18, the crew didn't stop and proceed at restricted speed until the leading wheels passed the next governing signal and that signal is a favorable signal! Wait a second...oh, this is a *layout*!!

Where? Other than Bellville, I saw no location I recognized.

Nice run through. Video is quite pixelated however. All the fine details are blurred out in this video. Need to get yourself a higher res GoPro or similar. :)

No dynamic brake whine......that's sad.

Hier soll mal eine ganze Stadt gebaut werden: 11:39

to make the video a little more enjoyable to watch, speed the video up 1/4 faster and cut out the klong under the scenery shots. although beautifully done, there isn't much to see. 30 minutes is too long.

Ooooops! SPAD at 12:32mins 🙁.

sounds like a rough sewing machine

Curly, Larry, and Moe at 3:20 ruined the cabride. If you d a cabride, hide the humans..
