  1. looks impressive,especially loved the camera work with the great angles,the whole display is over the top in detail and craftsmanship, a dram set-up

  2. TERRIFIC LAYOUT! Why wouldn't ANYONE Love the hobby after watching THIS video! Just imagine what YOU could build with some imagination and enjoyable work! FANTASTIC JOB!

  3. I would love to know where the public could see this!! And would have live to have seen the building and such in the video.

  4. Great layout!! Would really be interested to know what a layout like this one costs. CTT, great job as always!

  5. I had the pleasure to visit Roger's workshop when this layout was under construction as part of a Dallas area TCA meeting. The work that went into this is truly impressive. It was great to see the finished product in this video! The article in the latest issue is also quite excellent.

  6. Great looking layout, it would be nice if we would know all the radius and sizes of the track used and switches. But I guess TW can't give out free layout advise. Everything is beautiful, but then BNSF has the money for this kind of dream layout.

  7. From the barckgound I'm assuming this is a modular layout in a convention center. It would be nice if CTT could list all modular layouts and where and when they will be on display. This one is fantastic. I agree with others, would be great to see a video on how it is put together and since it's in a big hall, a view of the entire layout from a bucket truck would be great! Well done! A solid "5" in my book!

  8. A GREAT ARTICLE REALLY LIKE THE LAYOUT AND IT GIVE ME IDEAL OF WHAT I CAN PUT IN MY SPACE. REALLY LIKE THAT LAYOUT!!!!!!

  9. Great – maybe more on Berkeyville (since it includes buildings representing all of Buffett's 58 companies and Chicago Union Station). Is this layout "going public" in future showings? Also, maybe a follow-up in CTT on Warren Buffett's current home layout mentioned in the article. And, dropping a hint with the other Class 1s to follow – perhaps with competitors such as MTH ?

  10. Fantasic layout! I use to go to East Glacier, Montana to watch trains which is about one mile from the Two Medicine Bridge. The builders of the layout did a super job of recreating the bridge. Great work!

  11. I love the long bridge. I like the fact that they have modeled actual structures. I would like to see more people interacting with the trains. Still a n interesting layout.

  12. As always Roger does another great job on this layout. Double WOW for for BNSF and the many sight over their network.
