Agricultural trains at the Greeley Freight Station Museum
Awesome lay out to be proud of it is an understatement.
I am awestruck at the performance of these trains. The steam chuff at different rates was amazing as they sinc’ed up and out of sinc. The weathering of these steam engines is so dramatic. I don’t see much of this and it amazes me that they would be allowed to get like that and worse. Amazing job. I love it.
This is an impressive layout, but I wonder why Oregon was modeled in a Greeley, Colorado “museum”. I grew up just three blocks from this museum’s location and remember ample action on the UP and C&S in steam days. Modeling the local area historically would have given the layout a bit more credibility as an educational venue. As is, it’s pretty much just someone’s big train set.
A most impressive layout makes me want to run down to my basement now and get to work! We’ll done.
Great Video showing an outstanding layout that reflect different locomotives managing the various areas of the layout. I enjoyed viewing the trains movements from above. Thank you for opportunity to see the layout.
I have seen other videos of this magnificent layout and it never stops amazing me. Thanks for allowing me to be part of it.
I have been to this museum and it is amazing!!! It’s housed in an old freight station, has a caboose inside (that you can tour!!!), and a fully functioning layout. They run trains like Amtrak and CN, to early 30’s steam trains in there. Finally, a busy Union Pacific mainline runs right past the museum, and each time a train rumbles past the museum, a crossing signal (with no gate, but a crossbuck and flashing lights) flashing and ringing. Yes, the museum is truly amazing!
An excellent video ruined by the chatter in the back-ground. And a “technical” question: why was the headlight on on the second engine? Was it to let the helper engineer know that the road engine was still there?
