A visit to Jeff Otto’s HO scale Missabe Northern Ry.

looks like DM&I in the old days

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.

Very cool ore docks.

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.

Breathtaking layout!

Extraordinary! Love it.

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

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

Very impressive. Would like to see more.

Great dock set up this is very nice.

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

Beautiful trackwork and impressive loading docks!

Great set up, I’m new to the hobby, how do you control turn out from the fascia?

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.

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.
