The Magolian arrives at the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal
I can only think of four things to say, “W O W !”
The black and white video was the perfect vehicle for displaying the arriving Magnolia Express. Downtown scenary is so realistic and period appropriate. One of the best layouts in existence!
Good video! Make more… Please!
As an retired Engineer, it’s good to set back & enjoy something good to look at.
As a longtime New Orleanean I can say that Cliff has really captured the flavor of the South in his excellent model railroad. His model of the NOUPT Terminal Bldg. is absolutely fantastic to every detail as I remember it from the 50’s. I would love to see this layout in person!
VERY NICE LAYOUT. TO BAD THE VIDIO WASN’T SHOT IN COLOR.
Great video AND great music. An outstanding layout! Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
A most enjoyable video in my favorite era. The music makes it even more pleasurable. It captures the essence of vintage railroading!
Fantastic layout…Passenger trains have always been my favorites…This is wonderful…Glad I got to view it.Keep up the good work…
I could feel the New Orleans heat from here in Savannah! nothing like the big Ez or this wonderful layout. if 5 is the highest then I give Cliff’s work 255! wow! I’m guilty of peaking in on this layout when I’m home sick for my bayou home on back bay Biloxi. ah the many trips down hwy 90 to Nola (:
fantastic layout.
Great job. What a pleasure to watch this then watching a train come around the bend, cross over a bridge and go into a tunnel. GREAT
Once again. AMAZING! Never been to New Orleans but now I feel I have. A big THANKYOU to Cliff from far away Israel.
Loved this vid. I am building a passenger layout, and this was a grand inspiration. Really like the sepia style age of the video. More please.
Great detail and the attention to period accuracy is outstanding! Make the next one in color though please, the layout is deserving of it!
Great layout and video, with appropriate background music. First song is “Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans”.
This looks like a fantastic layout. Would love to see it in color… and without the music! Cliff’s locos have sound - let’s hear 'em (exclusively). Excellent blending of the Walther’s Tenement Row structures into the painted backdrop in the first scene. Terrific modeling throughout.
