That’s very impressive and well worth the wait. What are the dimensions of the layout and can you provide some information on the mountain and trestle?
Very nice. looks like three years well spent 
Enjoy!

Thank you. Layout is 19 x10.5. Trestle is scratch built using balsa and the top of the trestle is a Ross Bridge. Mountains again scratch built using inch and a quarter styrofoam board used for insulation. Sold at Lowe’s and Home Depot.

NICE LAYOUT THX FOR SHARING
Joe, That is a great job done in three years! I really like it! That UP articulated engine was kind of neat coming around the S curve near the end of the video!

You really did a nice job painting and detailing!
Very nice! Congratulations!
What kind of track is that in front of the trestle?
Hal
what are dimensions of your nice layout and would you share the track plan?
Looking good!
Incredible. I can see why it took three years. Great attention to detail. Life-like. The upper level with tunnels underneath looks amazing. What model railroader doesn’t like a well-executed trestle? Enjoy.
By the way-thank you for sharing.
Difficult to come up with any original compliments for your layout. I really like the scene with lots of track and trains in that view, the tunnels and how you hide the curves. Very very nice.
Fabulous work!! I am most impressed with the trestle and rock structure. Bravo!!
Very, very nice. I wish that mine looked as good, but I'm doing my best.
Yours is Hi-Rail for sure, but I do like the PW bones showing in the Super-O loop with the modern Geep, and the fact that the caboose on that train appears to be the same Lionel SP-style that came with my set in 1955. Command 18V running through that caboose bulb really makes it look nuclear.
Paint the shiny rails more realistically in Camo Brown or Rail Brown.....? They would then go with the rest of the layout's feel.

Super O on the upper tier and Ross everywhere else
