User video: Cab ride though Per Laursen's HO scale UP layout

WOW!

What a ride, what a layout. I love that your layout is not a maze of tracks, but a believable single track mainline. Scenery is outstanding. I liked the cop giving a ticket. I will watch it again.

Great layout! Very convincing scenery expanses and roadways that few layouts can afford to allow that much real estate to. Hope to see more of it when finished (if that concept is actually realistic!).

GREAT work…I model 1950’s but love your modern stores and restaurants!!!

A truly magnificent layout and an awesome video. The track work looks great and no bad spots during the video. Like the modern era look and clean look.

Really good capture of East Texas railroading. Is a track plan available?

Why does that look like CGI to me?

Wonderful use of the road system along with the railroad. Makes it all so realistic. Signage great. Kudos

I’ve been a member of MR for years, never built anything but have always been interested in this hobby since my parents bought me a train set when I was about 8 years old. So, I have to say that the video was absolutely outstanding in every way; from the videography itself as another member stated, to the scenery. Wow! Thank you for sharing this.

Remarkable video and layout. Well done.

MOST ENJOYABLE RIDE. I CAN NOT FAULT IT LOOKS LIKE THE REAL THING

Some real dopes here. Great layout and vid. Cheers.

I felt that i was in the cab. Great work.

How wonderful to have so much room for a layout, and the time to work on it! I am totally impressed. Thanks for sharing your hobby with us in such dramatic fashion. Beautiful layout!

Extraordinary, one of the best layouts and certainly one of the most realistic I have ever seen.

Very well done…enjoyed everything…excellent layout and video.

Absolutely BEST cabride video! I have watched other videos of your layout and have enjoyed railfanning. Layout makes you feel like you’re actually travelling someplace. Best capture of the “non-rail” portions of a layout I have seen. Wish the price on your kits was lower! Tiniest of nitpicks: please add whistle posts and get ballast off of tops of ties. Congratulations!

I am trying to decide if I am super impressed or jealous.

Amazing! Really captures the wide-open Texas spaces between destination stops. Level of unmitigated roadside commercialism is so real - what detail! Outstanding production. Is this a club effort? One person couldn’t do all this in a life-time. I didn’t like the white house with the blaring blue trim (I just had to find SOME fault).

This was superb and the new go-pro does an awesome job in recording this! I have been looking at the little devices you can implant in an engine for cab views, but I haven’t bought one as I’m hesitant on the video quality. Go-pro is not a cheap entry into cap filming, but you pay for what you get! OK, someone has to ask (or maybe not) what kind of investment do you have in this grand layout! lol
