Video: Rio Grande in the Rockies

Very impressive! The scenery looks almost exactly like the pictures of the area I’ve seen. I think the only thing needed would have been some shots of the Denver yards to complete the overall story. That is one great looking layout.

Fantastic Modeling !!! Mike has captured the prototype D&RGW Moffat Tunnel mainline beautifully.

Impressive! Absolutely impressive. Thank you Mr. Danneman for the video and the inspiration to better my N scale layout.

Very nice layout i have a 20x20 garage or a 12 x22 room my wife told me i could use ive considered HO scale but with N scale these days you can have all the same detail and build an empire with half the space

Such a beautiful layout!

Wow, what a layout - nice detail, superb scenery and the footage was filmed thoughtfully and with great care. Very professional, indeed. The video also brought back memories of my ride on he RGZ back in 1982. Congratulations.

Amazing!!

good job. great layout!

Phenomenal!

Wow! Amazing work! I love the winter scenes.

AMAZING !!! what a work of art. someday i will be at that level.

That was awesome! Felt like really being there. The winter scenes actually look cold. The scenery was spectacular! Great editing and music, too.

What an incredible modeller! I would love to see this layout in person. Mike is my hero in N scale!!

Fabulous. I look forward to seeing the article.

Excellent video of the Rio Grande! Having photographed the prototype back in the 1970s, it was hard to tell this was an N Scale a model railroad!

Where does the scenery stop and the backdrop begin? Great match in colors. Real craftmanship.

Unbelievable, Thank you.

I don’t think a 5 star rating says enough … I concur with the other posts of wow, amazig etc and add exquisite!!!

One is not sure there are words that describe what one feels after viewing this video.
I personally have never seen snow reproduced this well in the 50 plus years I have been running and modeling railroads.
Breath taking is about as close as I can come to what I felt the first time I finished the video.
I have to put on a winter coat now to warm up!
Thanks for the great work!
