Video: Jim Bonnett’s HO scale Kettle Valley RR

Nice video. Very pleasant to view. Nice modeling. Several of the scenes inspired me in my efforts to rebuild part of my layout.

From an educational standpoint, can we have more conversation between the model railroad owner and Kalmbach Publishing staff? I find that aspect of the hobby more educational rather than listening to the same music over and over again.

Very nice,did a great job on the scenery in the rockies,would have been nice to hear the onwer and MR staff discuss the layout. But all in all very nicely done.

Love the layout, very nicely done. Do the high tracks at 54" to 57" ever connect to the lower trackage or are 2 trains run simultaneously?

awesome a work of art

This is great. Very good detail.

Very enjoyable. Super quality and realism throughout the layout. Ditto on the music. Everybody’s taste is different

Nicely done. Having followed my dad with the family in that part of BC, when he was a traveling auditor for CP in the later part of the sixties, brought back some good memories. Great scenery and good detail. Well done!

nice layout. nice scenery of the rockies and the lake. wow.

Beautiful work. I would much, much rather hear the trains that the music however! Actually, it became so annoying I turned it off.

Yes, interviews, even brief ones, with the featured layouts’ owners would be nice, and the elimination of the music would be even better. Let’s hear the sounds of the trains running over the layout(s).
Beautiful scenery and backdrops here. Nicely shot video, too.

Very nice layout. Could have done without the annoying overly loud music. Would have liked to have had some conversation about the layout and what we were looking at.

awesome layout

I am building a N Scale Canadian Pacific Kettle Valley Sub.
steam - diesel transition.

Nice Layout Video, would have been nice to have a narrated
description.

Beautiful and well designed layout.

Backdrop scenery is gorgeous. I, too, would like to hear from the owner and/or Lou discussing the layout. However, as a jazz freak also enjoyed the solo piano and the quartet in the background. Where do you guys get your background music?

Wonderful layout Jim. Makes me feel like I was in the Rockies again. Excellent !!!

Very nice layout, at least what we saw. Sometime it would be nice to follow the train all the way around the layout to get some continuity.

graet layout it wa fun to see
