Words cannot do justice how jealous I am of this layout. I want to buy a house, and build my own layout.........and nothing I could POSSIBLY build will come even 1/10th as close to this.
OH! MY! ĢOSH! This is the best ever railroad tour! I really enjoyed the track plan showing where #2 was at as we pulled into the scene. The descriptions of operations helped the enjoyment of your railroad. The night time shots are awesome as well. So many videos just show trains running with absolutely no explanation about the process involved in construction or running. They just show looping trains with wide angle shots, and obviously done on an open house day. Thanks for taking the time to explain and show how your railroad operates, it was a great pleasure to watch.
Amazing! Note that the bigger the scale, the bigger the speakers and therefore these are as close to realistic sounds possible. You didn’t build a model railroad, you built a railroad.
now that is a man with a passion for trains. too beat out deer and concor gophers, building mountains to 4 foot high bridges. love some of the town names. i am sure a reflection of the time of the build. just all around awe struck. lawn chair, feet up and beer in each hand, ( well it does look warm ) I could spend many a night, just watching. a mans dream come true. great video John, again,, just in awe.
Dear Mr. Turner, since many years I watch Your wonderful videos of Your wonderful garden railroad - one of the worlds best. This video is a masterwork with great explanations including the red dot, a really guided tour. And the view to San Jose is overwhelming. Thank You for sharing and much fun farthermore.

What a mind-boggling layout and classy video work too. Normally on a layout tour, the dialogue is filled with "We need to finish....." and "We're gradually installing...." but this layout really does seem to be complete - if a layout is ever really finished. EVERYTHING appears to have a purpose; trains don't just run round and round, they seem to be going somewhere and for a purpose. This is much more interesting for the viewer and must make operation much more entertaining. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece - the rest of us can only dream.
That is quite an enormous yet detailed layout. It makes me wish I could find the time, money, and skill to make something like that happen. But eventually if I try hard enough and get lucky I might.
Visited your railroad a few yrs ago when you were on NGRC tour, LOVED IT. I too am a concrete mountain builder, yours is very inspiring . Your nite shots are very inspiring. From the Ozarks in Mo.
Looking great, im liking the over all look of layout and the way you can operate it, the night scenes are superb... stop by and check out my O gauge in the garden...
Lovely, lot of work and love. I don t know much about layouts and all, altough i love to see all these videos, and i have one question. how do you keep everything to get ruin by rain, sun, etc?
The equipment looks like Fn3 to me. The layout's main purpose is operations, so I wouldn't be surprised if I found out there was some other scale mixed in here and there. It's a fun layout to operate on though, I can tell you that.
This is absolutely fantastic blown away by the details amazing results fantastic job, so cool from Tasmania Australia New Subscriber and we hit the bell check us out when u get time cheers KC 🇦🇺
