The Last Days of Pacific & Northwestern HO Scale Railway Layout 

I loved it all, but the "Northern Exposure" part was really neat. The only thing missing was the moose walking down the street. Great job.

The quality of your filming really does justice to a fantastic layout.... Thanks for sharing

That was an amazing layout. I felt like I was part of that town while watching it. Excellent work!

Rocky Mountain Railroading in miniature simply fantastic!! 👍👍. Greg

You were given a Awsome talent, God Bless you looking forward to your new layout. Loved it, loved the Loco paint scheme and the detail.

Beautiful layout. Thank you for populating the layout with figures. I’ve seen so many layouts online and in person that the rolling stock,locomotives,and buildings look great, but no people. Good luck on your new layout.

As a huge Northern Exposure fan, I love your city of Cicely! Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

The detail work is simply AMAZING!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

Good camera work turns a beautiful layout into a great video. Thanks for the escape. I have always wondered how hyper-detailed layouts like this fifteen year old one are kept dust-free.

I’m amazed at so many of you railroad guys with your talents for great work you do on these wonderful layouts. They look so real.

What a STUNNINGLY SUPERB layout with unbelievable attention to detail! Just incredible and inspiring, all the best to you with your new layout.

Glad to hear you're just moving on and not moving out !

Excellent use of the backgrounds with trees in front of them.

Gotta love the attention to detail in this layout! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😁😁😁😁

Wow! I wouldn't be able to disassemble it.

I must confess myself a tad jealous. I can only dream of a layout of this grandeur, and beauty. Then you tare it down, and start all over. Thank God you sold it and didn't just throw it away. I'm certain your next one will be just as awesome if not more so.

Very impressed! Very nice detail, love the town store front detail. Thank you for sharing!

Oh My Goodness what a beautiful masterpiece of work that you have done I really love the layout it is absolutely beautiful keep up the good work just a beautiful layout of what you done I love just loves it

I have seen many layouts over the years, and I have to say that this is one beautiful work of art. The scenes are so realistic that you almost don't know that it's a miniature scale layout. It's every modelers dream to achieve this scale of perfection and realism. That town comes to life, you could use it for a movie prop, it so realistic. Great Job!

Fantastic layout and great videography. Thanks to all for sharing.

Man after watching this, I think I'll just go tear my down. This is the most amazing layout, detail is second to none. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

very realistic, love it!

Some much hard work. Well done, right on track…👌🏻

If mine turns out half as good as this, I'll be so happy😊. Thanks for sharing with us.

Brilliant! A great effort. I expect your next piece will be a lot of fun. You are an ace modeller.

Great layout ! ! ! looks like a lot of fun : ) nice job thanks for sharing !

A very beautiful layout and well filmed. Thanks for sharing.

wow, and I just found your channel, and it is the end of a era. the last two locos are very very nice, if they need a home while you are in the tear down and rebuild times let me know, I can baby sit them for you. just a great looking layout, with lots to look at and great detail, but yet it does not looked crammed in there, just a thing of beauty for sure.

Don’t know how this video popped up on my RU-vid but l’m sure glad it did. I’ve seen many layouts and this one is one of the best if not the best I’ve seen. So many interesting and highly detailed scenes with great realism. You are truly a great modeler with unique talent. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future. 🚂

Just GREAT DETAIL THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

Incredible Action! Great Rolling Stock!

But that portal tunnel...super creative!

Wow! Beautiful layout.

First time I've seen the whole thing. It was (is) a thing of beauty. Nice work on all the extras. I'm sure the new one will be even better. I'm with Michael, it's a blumin' shame :(

Great layout! Incredible detail!

Wow! Great video. Fantastically detailed layout.

Hi Erik, Well as wrote in your movie old is going away making place for something new, better and improved. We as people evolve, so should our work, so your layout as it is beautiful and awesome will be replaced with something far more beautiful, usable, modular and more awesome than ever. Go Erik go, don't stop doing what you do best :) Kind regards Bogdan

It's a very nice detailed modelrailroad!I like it so,in this way!

It's really amazing the way you blended the foreground landscaping into the back ground scenery. The rocks look so realistic, what did you do use a shrinking ray gun. Also the small details make a great layout even greater, as far as I'm concerned your work is beyond compare. Good luck on the next layout project.

Very nice. My wife likes how you named the cafe after her lol

The most realistic of all that I have seen so far.

Cool stuff! I'm hoping to have a layout like this eventually, but for now I have a 8ftx15in N scale switching layout I'm workng on.

Thanks for sharing that video of the awesome layout. cant wait to see the new one.

Very realistic, those tree barks!

Good luck and have fun on your new layout.

Outstanding! Nothing more to be said.

looking at your bridge layouts this one gives me ideas for what i want to do with mine but gonna need more planning to make it awesome

Pretty sweet layout, friend. I especially liked the Bandit's truck at 6:51. I'm in the finishing stages of restoring a Trans Am just like the one Burt was driving in the movie (or "ones" I should say. I think they said there were actually three of them used). The "Unstoppable" locos were pretty cool, too. Hope your new layout comes out as nice as this one!

Hello from North France! thanks for wonderful landscaps and very realistic tree and pines very good job but 1206 awvr EMD sd 40 triple 7 GE. You have a very nice layout.

Amazing work

Just beautiful. Thank you.

cool train set you got there

I don't like modern trains with no cabooses but the artwork of the whole layout I do see steam now is all really grand!

Absolutly fabulous scenery and layout. What a shame you will dismantle it. WELL DONE

Nice layout. Can't wait to see the new one.

A scale layout is only as good as the details added to it. 👍

Hello Erik. After watching this video I am guttered & almost in tears at the thought you are going to dismantle it! It is the first time I have seen your layout in such detail & hell....what amazing detail & perfection!! I was never very good at that type of detail so I am really envious! I think dismantling it is a real bad move.....I would die for such a detailed & beautiful scenic layout as yours!! OK if you have ideas for a different theme fine but why can't you build that as well instead of destroying what you already have? I genuinely have no words to say thinking that you are going to take it all down.....I really do not!! My kindest regards, John.

Cool trains and nice music

definitely a love for the world's greatest hobby. -mike

Nicely done!

Note for viewers: The Brick is indeed a real place, the first licensed bar in the state of Washington and located in Roslyn, WA. The town is perfectly replicated in this layout with a population of 883 ;-). It now has the cast of Northern Exposure pictured on some walls as they frequented the bar during filming. Kudos to the artist who made this layout. Great work.

Jus AWESOME!!!!!! TRAINS, TRAINS, TRAINS, LOVE THEM, WHAT IS THAT IN THE THREE LOCO COUPLED TOGETHER,? SD70 ACES OR IS THAT ONE AN SD80/?? 90? EITHER WAY THEIR LARGE EXCELLENT LOCOS, HO SCALE IS MY PREFERENCE!!!!! WAY TO GO!!! THANK YOU. 👌✌️😄😉👍👏

Thanks for sharing.

That intro shot look outstanding! I just recently found your channel and felt in love with your work and your layout, and when I saw your title for this video I was...what!! It is sad to see so much great work, but also looking forward to some better one. RT

Your and your crew are beyond phenomenal! I could have watched 3 hours of your tribute. Good luck with the future layout and wishing you get top dollar for your parts and layout. Way past realism!

4:34; one cop waking the guy sleeping on the bench. Had to look closely...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Awesome so real thanks for your consideration

Such a shame it's being dismantled. It is small town America to a T! Beautiful layout.

Cool music and your video ❤❤❤😀😀😃😃🇺🇸

a beautiful layout but that's ok a better layout will be built and please give us updates- great work!

It would be cool to see train painted into the GTA V go loco paint scheme

Nice video!

A lot of really impressive stuff. amazing town, but just mountain shots… I hope some of it was kept in tact. Where are you located? "It belongs in a museum!"

Great vid can't wait to see the new one.

5:05 - AWVR #777 engine was GE not EMD :) but everything is beautiful :)

11:18 "When you're lost you can look and you will find me....time after time"

What a great layout! It’s fantastic! I’d rather listen to the train though.

Beautiful, though I wish you hadn't dubbed music over it!

awesome layout

Amazing modeling!

Those are some of the best figures I've seen. Do you make the little people yourself?

wow youve got a lot of comments how do ya find the time to read them all....excellent layout & fine craftsmanship music score is good to top notch work here complements from canada.

AWESOME!!!

Great layout, sorry it's gone, but I suppose its replacement is well on its way! BTW I'm interested in the background music... very cool. Could you share who/what it is, please? ...never mind. I need to wait for the video to end before I comment ;-)

Awesome video

It's a shame anout this one but I'm sure the new one is gonna work nicely well.

Awesome!!!!!! Sad to see it go, though. Oh well, someone will buy it for their own use!!!

Well done!

pretty cool

I was just curious if you would consider selling the Chevron gas station and any of the sawmill buildings I figured it would not hurt to ask PS this is a beautiful layout. Thanks. Tim

cool AWVR!

Awesome daddy

The weathered scenery and buildings look great, but the rolling stock and locomotives that haven't been weathered don't blend. Also, they're going a little too fast. Still a great layout though.

awe dang it well it will go to a new home and start operation again

scene at 10:08, red Chevy needs a front end alignment badly, too bad Cicely doesn't have an alignment shop😃

Loved seeing the "Unstoppable" trains running around. How did you do the lights on the GE loco?

5:08 Where did you get that UP Genset Switcher? It's active near my house and I really want it

Great video of a great layout, it's just a blumin' shame it had to be dismantled. :(

Beautiful layout. How do you sell off sections of it?

I would love some of your layout
