Large HO Scale Model Railroad Layout at The Highland Park Society of Model Railroad Engineers 

This layout looks FABULOUS! And I like the engines and rolling stock, too... they're fun to watch. 👍😎

Happy to see that several of my chemical plants and the winery are still on the layout, after about 40 years! Greg - member from1975 to 1988

What a stunning layout this is. The detail is brilliant. I could watch this over and over and still find things I did not see before. I loved the lady in the out house.

I like the theater marquee with the layout name on it "Gorre & Daphetid" Nice touch!

I love the fact that anything goes. Steamers with modern diesels and switchers. Old towns and businesses with new sections. Lots of fun!

i drove by that place for years and never got to set foot inside to see it..i grew up in alhambra...grandad was on the S.P till 1976 when he retired..passed in 2009 at 95..thank you for the look inside..pretty neat layout...got to see the big boy and crawl all over it as a child..they moved it from pomona to be restored and that was my last look at it in person..wife and i moved to kansas in 2021..again thank you for the look inside..

nomatter how many times I watch , I find more intricate details in every scenery and the obviously never ending stream of ideas of the creators of this layout absolutely stunning

Absolutely unbelievable. I particularly liked the sawmill. A carpenter from Germany

The best US-layout that I have ever seen. A great video Thanks for presentation, from Germany

Bravo for the nod to John Allen's "Gorre & Daphetid" layout.

What an incredible layout! I laughed at the College of Carnal Desires!!!

A huge number of trains: freight and passenger, excellent panoramic shots, life in all its manifestations. the author's painstaking but successful work. I always watch your videos with interest. Thank you very much

Hello... I'm a long time member of the Highland Pacific. Thank you for featuring our club. If you are interested, you can keep tabs on my RU-vid channel for layout updates as we continue to build and re-do areas that need it. Thanks again, great video of the small details!!

Need for life, let me say this word three times. Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Enjoyed every video shoot of the layout.

Beautiful layout big with lots of action both steam and diesel

great layout, thank you for sharing, and thank you for understanding that modelers come for the models.. not to listen to endless chatter from the videographer. Really appreciate that part. ;). liked the peek into the engine house and the old out of production box cab diesels from MDC and the bowker.

I really appreciated the mix of lines and eras. Obviously, Rule One is the basic operating rule. Well done. Too often, as railway modelers, we get stuck with period or location accuracy, to say nothing of rivet-counting, and this was a refreshing look at a layout built by and for members to enjoy. Seeing the great lines and power of the past and present today was a real treat. I loved the half-sized 4000 (Big Boy) on the long flat. (I would suggest running the streamliners a little faster, though. They were the thoroughbreds of the railroads.)

Just awesome! Beautiful scenaries, trains, factories, bridges, buildings.. everything! I loved it! Congrats! 👏👏👏🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃😎

Очень понравилось. Макет красивый и много достоверности в деталях. Одними словом молодцы, спасибо.😊🎉

Beautiful town scenery and details. Nicely done ✅ the city skyline appears to go on for miles and miles.

Absolutely fascinating 👏!

I was able to see this layout in person last year, very impressive!

Outstanding model railroad 10+

Just stunning.

Fantastic layout! Congrats! Love those SP bloody nose passenger F units+complete train!👏👏👏

Another cool layout with more great shooting. Thanks.

Especially like the reference to 3 of the great HO railroad modelers of years gone by @ 1:42

Спасибо за доставленое удовольствие! Много красивых прочих мест и это мне очень нравится! 😊

It's totally awesome. A lot of work to details. We'll done!!!

Awesome!!!!!!!! Love it! With so many trains!!!

Excellent photography

Stunning!

I wish we had a club this massive in where I live

Another great one, thank you... Nice work.

Very Nice !

This is amazing!

niezla makieta , dzieki za filmik 👍

amazing 👍🍀💯

Rather intrigued by the early UK LCC Bedford ambulance. Must have been one hell of a blue light run. 😂

great layout 👍

Fantastic!

BEAUTIFUL😊

I want to live there!

Love the RJ Frost I have one on my layout as well as Stephens Grocery Distributer (Which I know is different then yours).

Has anyone figured out approximately how many scale square miles of track and display is present? Out standing 😊

24:17 Bi-Centennial locomotive. Cool

Choo! Choo! Here I come!!

Huh. I was struck by the idea that this might be the first time I've seen a train that hasn't been vandalized by some talent-less dummies graffiti. I'm glad they didn't try to recreate trains to be THAT realistic.

Beautiful, regards from Austria 🙂

Great Video but why do trains and restaurants need Muzak?

Neat job

I'm dying to know what the back story is concerning the N scale (?) Big Boy on the flat car. That's an intriguing one. This is a beautiful layout. The depth of detail and the smooth continuity of cultural features are mind boggling. I can't imagine the amount of coordination and teamwork it must have taken to pull this magnificent layout off. Really impressive!

WOW!

Great Layot the only thing I have a problem with is Steam Locomotives and old vehicles this is 2024 Not 1924 so you should only run Diesels if you want it to be really realistic.

Nice🎉

Does anyone know who makes those houses that are shown from 3:10 onwards? Been looking for some for my layout

Pulled me in a couple of times

W.E. Loosem, I think I know him.

Where is all that and I liked and subscribed

Are you located in Highland Park Illinois?

Nice train layout. What train station kit did you use at 22:15 ? Really nice looking train depot.

At 1.15 there is, sandwiched between 2 SP engines, a SP breaking sledge. Anyone who can tell me more about that? Brand? Custom made? Ready to sell? Greetings from Belgium.

Why are steam engines not still used today? A steam engine has more puling power than a Diesel Electric.

Schene anlage viele züge viel berge viele tannen Sxhlöne stadr da möchte man drinnen spazieren n gehen

Out of control and bizarre.

2:14 Very unrealistic. Hobbyist need to get out and view the real life scenery of Freight trains.

Fantastic""" Bravo" Prague"😅

the extent of my knowledge regarding trains is they ride on tracks and that's about it. however like many, if not most folks i've always been fascinated by trains and hence i watch a good share of model train videos. now i understand i'm watching vids of models, but i assume that with the amount of work put into the layouts, the good folk building and operating them probably stick relatively close to real world scenarios which brings me to a question. i've noticed that on older steam powered passenger trains there is never more than one locomotive pulling the cars, but when it's a newer model diesel/electric passenger train there are almost always more than a single locomotive, even with the number of passenger cars being the same between the two. is there a reason for this? appreciate any one willing to clarify this for me. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all!1!!

Excellent! Both the video And the layout

This is an excellent layout with both cities and nature. Thank you for your hard work 🙏

stümperhafte verarbeitung

This layout is AMAZING and for once the camera person is going slow enough so that we can see things. GREAT JOB!
