The Big Cab Ride (Eastbound) at the Colorado Model Railroad Museum 

WOW... this layout is huge! I've always felt that the quality of scenery really brings the layout to life, and for such a huge layout, the quality of scenery is really pretty good.

As a volunteer this layout never ceases to amaze every day I'm there.

This has to be one of the best layouts I have ever seen. The attention to detail on the diorama is astonishing. And thanks for showing the tunnels. I think they are just as important as the visible parts. Loved it.

What an incredible video. Personally, I liked the 'windshield' as it added to the impression of actually being inside the locomotive, and seemed to me to give it a more realistic atmosphere....

I Just can't imagine how much time and effort you guys spent in making this superb and magnificent layout.THis is a Masterpiece!

Great video, Bill...as always. The little "you are here" inserts really give one a better idea of where you are on the layout, and how the layout is laid out.

WOW! The addition of the insets showing the progress of the train is a great addition to an already great video Thanks.

An incredible railroad with videography to match. By far the best cab ride I've seen. As others have said: the informational snippets and "you are there" inserts rally add to the experience! Thanks!

The greatest museum layout that I know of ! Often a monotonous ride, just like the real thing. Traveling distances ! Imagine the work that's been done to create this gorgeous railroad !

A "tip of the hat" to whom ever did the brilliant track laying and the very realistic Scenery in the mountain region. I also like that you guys use Hand Thrown switches in the hidden main yard, and only "appropriate" Rail Cars (No blue box junkers). I Like the realistic horn effect in the video as well! Bravo! I will definitely watch this again!

Awesome railroad you all have made. I like it very much!

Magnificent and congratulations to all those individuals who laboured to put this wonderful model railway on the tracks A great journey gys. Unied Kingdom

I watched again. Staggering to consider the effort and talent that went into every inch of this prodigious layout!! This has to be in the top 5% of any layouts anywhere.

Simply awesome.

EXCELLENT Landscape and thank you for NOT skipping the tunnels

One of the best cab rides I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a few!

It was very cool when i went there. It was also fun because UP tracks run just outside of the building. It’s an amazing layout.

Everything looks amazing, buildings, trees, bridges, and some of the best rock detail I have ever seen. Did not look like a model.

Absolutely fantastic !

This is the best Bill Rogers vid I've seen. Advantages of this one: 1 loved the guided tour. 2. loved the notes of where we were and what to notice on the layout, that was really helpful, 3. exquisite display of benchwork and planing, 4 wonderful example of signals. I thought the loops particularly clever, getting away from the not-so-prototypical helixes. This video is so crammed full of ideas that I just marvel at it. Thanks Bill.

Sitting in the Engeniners seat, the holy grail of train rides!. Thank you for showing this video!

Wow. Just wow. One of the best cab rides I have ever seen. At times I forgot this was a layout. Felt like real thing. U did an amazing job. Do another video in opposite direction. Thank u so much. Going to show this to my grand son on the big screen with the volume up. Thanks again

I should add that the "loops" are SO much better than a helix... brilliant!

For the rest of us without your "eagle eyes", this is definitelyh the way to go. The maps & logistics are really helpful.

Excellent - really like the diagrams too.

WoW, what a ride, and I really like the notes and layout maps that pop up GREAt idea.👍👍😉😉👌👌

I am a retired Locomotive Engineer with 42 years service and I think this is absolutely FANTASTIC! One heck of a ride! I almost had three heart attacks, wanted to chide the Engineer for improper use of the whistle and for running up on red signals and making hummingbird stops and I wanted see the Roadmaster or Track Supervisor to report several track condition areas, lol. Great job to everyone contributing to the building and detailing of the railroad and track and for the folks putting together at the video. Thanks for showing the camera and car set up, but one of the best things, the cab interior and Barco speed indicator . . . how was that added? It really made the video. Thanks!

Many thanks Bill, photograghy is superb as usual. I was surprised at the level of detail shown, which, I think, cannot be seen from the floor of the Museum. I'd better lift my game! Quite extraordinary.

Amazing!

Simply incredible, WOW, such an outstanding layout......

What a work. Congrats! Well done. Nice to watch. Greetings from Europe

Really nice use of the graphics. That sold this to me as a great experience. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to make this

Wow, that really was an impressive ride, I really enjoyed it. You can certainly tell that the designers put a lot of work into the layout and I was really impressed not only on the volume of trees but the different types of trees that changed throughout the ride. The mountain areas were done really well as was also the river scenes. I would really like to visit this location and get a full on view of the Klamath falls city buildings, you can really see the difference between scratch built buildings and kit models they are so much more unique and intricate. What I really liked was the length of the freight liner that we passed mid ride it surely had a lot of cars on it. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your next video.

Serious fun, thanks for taking us along!

Excellent! I am in awe. Clearly the best.

Absolutely grandly amazing. Hats off to the team.

What a treat. Wow!

Great show. My brother made the inside of the tunnel scenic like maybe making it into rock and whatever else he did it look great when we went on a cab ride thanks for.

Great video

I've no words. Greetings and very compliments from Italy.

This is awesome!

I’ve been searching for these kind of videos. I like the first person view of the train inside. Looks very realistic to me. Thank you so much for this videos :)

so cool seeing weyerhaeuser in the layout. i was a security officer for them for a long time in north carolina

Found this video earlier, just watched, very much enjoyed the journey, its a fine layout you guys have built.

Very nice scenery.

Well detailed nice job

Great video. Loved the overlay animation to show where you are.

That is impressive, a lot of work and care certainly went into this layout.

outstanding! job well done!....

That is so cool!

This is great. It's amazing what those craftsman of model RR layouts. I wish I had that kind of patients.

WOWSER !!!! LOVE IT .

Absolutely amazing! The attention to detail is apparent throughout. Everything; the rock, the greenery, the architecture, the backdrops, and especially the trains! Even the choice of camera was smart, it appeared to have a small aperture which allowed everything in the field of view to be in focus - the key element to making miniatures look life-size, something the guys working in VFX for film and TV have understood for a long time. There is one thing I would love to see (understanding that it may not be practical in many cases) is for the interior of the tunnels to be finished out; be it wood, concrete, brick, or just bare rock. This one detail was not an issue when you were just watching the trains from a god's eye perspective but, now that more and more professional layouts like this one are running camera trains for these POV views, that is one thing I am really missing. At any rate, damn! That is amazing work. Keep it up, guys!

Incredible

Nice ride. Crookedest track ever!

Sehr schön, und fantasievoll gestaltet. -- Sehr sehendwert. Ich komme wieder, um weitere Filme zu sehen. ❤️

Nice rail footage with a lot of great filming !!

Didn't know this was in Greeley Cool Edit: the scenery and Fab work are great. The gravel, bricks n stone work are spot on.

I like the first person view of the train inside. Looks very realistic to me. Thank you so much for this videos :)

BEST cab ride ever>!

Exeptionnel ! Bravos et merci pour le plaisir des yeux

amazing!

really neat!!

There are hundreds of cab view (or driver view, depending on country) videos (mostly European) on RU-vid that show the full trip station to station. I have watched many of them and enjoyed just about all of them (especially if it's a route I've actually taken). I had to keep reminding myself that THIS video was a model and not "the real thing." That's how real it looked to me. P.S. For those of you who commented on the tracks, come up to Alaska (Skagway) and ride the Skagway train that runs along the mountain side (elevation sea level and up to 4500 feet) from Skagway to the Canadian border as it winds its way around sharp curves and through several tunnels on the way. Now THOSE were "wobbly" tracks. Even the coaches leaned more a few times than felt "safe". But given that that line was built at the time of the Yukon Gold Rush (1898) and mostly by miners whose luck (and supplies) had run out, it's nonetheless a rather exciting (if unnerving) experience.

Fantastic... Love d ride...

Thank you very much for posting the track plan. I really wish videos of layouts on youtube had at least the track plan. The animation was awesome and very helpful as well.

of all the layouts I have seen on youtube this layout by far is my all time favourite I love what you all have done here the detailing is super amazing I .love it I am from Canada and would love to come visit there if i ever can once again love what you all have done here keep up the amazing work model railroading is the best hobby outthere

It is official, this is the best video I have seen on RU-vid. I very much enjoyed riding in the front and being able to feel and see such a amazing First Person view. Thanks for sharing the ride with us.
