A MUST SEE VIDEO OF PATRICK.H LAYOUT//DON'T MISS THIS

Patricks layout is awesome  Saw some pics of it but the video brings alot more of it to attention

Thank you Patrick for the exceptional show. It is a truly interesting and awesome railroad.

Thanks! I hope Patrick has a open house some day.....even if limited.

Alex, Some of the shots are from a camera mounted on a car, correct? How did you get the camera to scan let or right? Very beautiful work!!!! Chris

Now that's how to shoot a model railroad video!!!

Greatest layout I ever saw.

If you ever get the chance to see this layout in person, do not pass it up!

 

You can easily spend a whole evening walking around looking at the layout and still not see all the little details.

 

Andy

Very nice!

 

Doug

Very nce you guys!

 

Polish this up and you can sell 'commercials' to play during the tunnel scenes!

 

Alex - What's the story on the light illuminating the drivers on the J?

Does mine have that too?

Simply awesome!  Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. How big is this layout? Is it in someones home?

Hi guys, thanks for all the great comments, that's why I felt it should be posted here.

 

I can answer some questions (I think) but if I'm incorrect Patrick will have to correct me.

 

UnclePeteRR  some shots are from the camera mounted to a train car and I'm pretty sure Patrick was angling the camera by turning it the way he wanted.

 

C.Sam That engine to my knowledge doesn't come with the work lights, I think Patrick added them. The only engine I remember coming with those work lights was the Challenger and I think the Dreyfuss Huson(please correct me if I'm wrong)

Hi Eddie,

 

Yes this layout is in Patrick H basement, I never saw it in person YET. But someday I will. Patrick will have to deal with my wife and I coming over for the weekend. LOL LOL

I'm not sure of the size of the layout but I know it's really big. Patrick will have to answer that.

Thanks, Alex

For those who may have missed it, here is the link to the (long) thread covering the building of this layout (it is on the layout building section of the forum):

Patrick,

I posted on your thread after seeing this in the layout forum. I'll post again!

TERRIFIC LAYOUT AND A GREAT VIDEO!! Thanks for posting.

Alex,

Thanks for bringing this to the 3 rail forum so everyone can have a chance to enjoy it!

Incredible.  I really admire the talents of you guys that can accomplish things like this.

Wow! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.

WOW!!! How BIG is the layout? Very nice!

This layout is fun to go play trains on.Everytime Patrick has us over there is always something new to see. Patricks work is Super. He added the work lights to the J. He also did somthing to the smoke unit.

Wow!  Patrick, thanks for making a video showing your whole layout!  I've seen clips and photos, but this gives a feel for the size of the layout.  Thanks for posting Alex.  

 

When I started the video and the timer showed 25 minutes, I was thinking uh, ain't gonna happen, next thing I know there's the text saying we've been riding for 15 minutes, felt like a couple minutes.  Time flies when you're having fun!  

I am glad you liked the video guys, not bad for 2 days goofing off. . I didnt realize some of you dont visit the Layout and design  forum where you can find all of the answers you asked. So i am a little embarassed Alex posted another thread, but its Ok with me if someof you enjoyed it and never seen it.

 

Thanks Jeff,

 

I edited out about 9 min of tunnel so not toget to boring .Usually about 28-30 minutes up and around then to the Y before having to use the same track again. The other main is about 8-10 minutes less. Of course if you run slower or faster that will vary. Thanks again!

 

CSam:

The J is modified , the smoke unit has a hole in it and the light at the back of the  drivers i drilled out and installed leds,spectacular at night.

 

The link below my name will take you to the OGR Layout and design forum. Thanks again.

Doc your reply is at the other thread ! Thanks!!

Pretty cool!

Great shot of the "J" coming out of the tunnel...

That's a layout you could spend all day at...

My good friend Patrick H there's no need to feel embarrassed, what you have accomplished with this layout needs to be seen by everyone. That's what this forum is all about. Your layout is what I call a work of art, It's one of the best basement layout's I've ever seen. It deserves to be on this forum. Now enough with the mushy stuff, I have now watched your video 8 times. LOL LOL

 

 

Thanks, Alex

 

I really enjoyed the ride.  Great fun and I didn't have to watch where I sit.  Thanks for posting.

Great video off an amazingly detailed layout...thanks for posting.

Patrick H,

  Your video is fantastic, but seeing it live and being able to run your trains

is even better, thanks for letting me visit.  Your layout is simply incredible!

 

Never Never Land really does exist, it's located in Patrick H's beautiful home.

If you are lucky enough to be invited, make the Trip to the Never Never land of Trains.  Just maybe Patrick H will let you run his trains.

Thanks for posting. Great video and layout. Keep up the great work.

David

Not only is this a fantastic layout, Note the Dates from start to finish !!!

Oh my God !!

He did this in less time than I've been trying to just change some of my benchwork.

 

And So well done It means I'm never going to show my Crappy Basement layout on here!!!
