  1. I operated on this layout today. It is nothing short of spectacular! Many thanks to Mr. Jeff Otto for having me over as a first timer!

  2. Do you have a track plan for this that would be view-able?
    Looks absolutely stunning. I am a huge DM&IR fan. Wish I could come see in person.

  3. Hi, Jeff. We loved your Arlington Heights layout, wonderful to see that your Lakeville layout is even more, more, impressive. Hope to see more of what you are producing. It surely inspires others as it has inspired me. And your sound is better.

  4. Jeff is correct, his trains sound great, due mostly how he records it with his camara/sound locomotive

  5. Impressive! The shear size of those two docks…Whoa! Great video. Congrads on your accomplishments!

  6. MR added the music. I prefer my native Tsunami steam sound, too.
    Thank you all for the kind comments.

  7. Jeff Otto and his wife are great host. Thank you Otto's for privilege of getting to operate on your railroad. I also enjoyed our dinner at river rails three years ago now.

  8. Looks great, but the "ducking" of the background music needs to be more pronounced, it's distracting having to listen through the music to hear what the narrator was saying.
