Jack Burgess’ Yosemite Valley Railway
Always am impressed, jack!
Great looking RAILROAD!
Mike ., for heaven sakes use a tri.pod . Other than this the scenes are wonderful ! It will however be wonderful when we can simulate steam fully . It may never happen. Keep up the good work.

Very nice setup Jack, the sound is incredible, the buildings including period equipment and signage really make it astounding. Kudos to Mike on the videography.
I like the sound. Share details on that please, product, etc.? Is it DC or DCC?
Excellent scenery and the subtle weathering on the stock made me believe it could be real. The camera work was good, too. The video shows not a complex layout, but a very well thought out one. Plenty of realistic trees and landscaping, staging, and enough interesting and varied structures to keep the experience enjoyable for a long time. At the stations, I almost expected to see people out and going about their business. I applaud you and aspire to your high standards!
Very realistic. Great layout. Thanks for the viewing.
Best regards,
Eric.
Exceptional modeling !! The details, lighting, and sound is amazing.
Layout is very nice! Needs a tripod for the camera though… I’m a little motion sick.
I have read of Jack Burgess railroad for many years, Really great to see it in action.
Very nice !
VERY nice modeling and nice video. You can’t get much more authentic than Jack Burgess’s YV.
Once again, a truly enjoyable experience. The detailing is superb. Thanks for sharing.
THIS ARTICLE IS VERY INFORMATIVE. ALL INFORMATION
IS APPRECIATED. I AM NEW AT THIS HOBBY.
THANK YOU.
What a GREAT railroad, and excellent photography! Some of the track level views invoke fond memories of the real thing.
Beautiful railroad. I was especially impressed by the ice hatches and “Overland” UP herald on the PFE reefer, the correct 54000 series number on the Western Fruit reefer with the unusual fishbelly, and the caboose marker lights.
tremendous, thanks for sharing it. great work!
Very good and interesting project this YV RR !!!
Not bad shots, but PLEASE PLEASE use a tripod!
I’ve been playing with HO trains since X-mas of the 4th grade, now i’m 60 and got some fantastic ideas from your layout. as an old hippie would say, far out train man.
