  • Question:

    Do you ever have any electrical/connectivity problems with your tracks or locomotives?

  • You're got a sick layout bro. Keep up the great work and posting videos of your weathered cars. I love em

  • "You've just been brought around to my layout."  Alfred P. Mayo

  • sweet train layout!!

  • Bloody amazing!! where do you get the street lights that work?

  • @MonsterRailroad Hey, what do you do for a living if you don't mind answering, just wondering, because you've got to have a hell of a job to have that kind of layout.

  • @abeemanator I do not mind answering. I worked two jobs for years drawing blood and working with children. PLUS I am a hustla so i HAVE ALWAYS bought items cheap and resold them on Ebay. now I custom weather for people at a modest price and that supports some of my hobby spending.

  • Great layout i've been enjoying your videos for some time now. How big is the layout by the way? it doesnt look overly big but its packed with nice detail. I was impressed with the wires on the telephone cables nice touch did you use a fishing line or something like that?

  • how did u get the road finish like that?

  • AWSOME LAYOUT I really like it.GREAT JOB!

  • How do you get 35 to 40 engines? I have only 9.

  • I have been wanting to get a athearn diesel is there any yu would recomend

  • No 2nd gen anything?!!!

  • @flurpy123 i HAVE SPENT UPWARDS to $30-40,000 on the whole set up.

  • Unless I missed the, I don't see any doubles stack cars. Do you run any? Thanks.

  • Can more desert model railroaders post vision... we desert rairoaders need to get more presence.. thank you to those desert moddlers who havw ive been coelcitng ewuipment for 35 years and now im about to start my model railroad

  • The $60.00 hopper is fantastic. Where did you get it? I was going to give your video a thumbs up - until I saw your "fuck Bush" car. When you come out with a "Fuck Obama and his socialist healthcare" car, I'll give you a thumbs up. Your layout gave me a few ideas, I really like the desert theme, like the high desert in California.

  • @Silver1Sprg Well in 2008 when this video was done there was only Bush and no Obama, BUT I did do a Hopper that read Obama 08'. besides I am NOT a political kind of dude at all. I do not give a shit if Jay-Z was president because it would not change my current status one bit. I just do not give a fuck about politics. I just Said Fuck Bush because I saw it on another hopper.

  • @MonsterRailroad Well, with that explaination, i give you 5 Stars!

  • Great vid!

  • very realistic impression of southern california.... you got at least 3 DUI related car accidents, you got a ton of grafitti, you got the wannabe gangster guy putting huge rims on his crappy car. haha just joking with you... i love the layout it looks great

  • Nice video of a great looking layout

  • Love the layout. 5***** for both, layout and video. I wish I had the space to make a layout like yours Al. Just awesome!

  • Hell of a nice layout ! Doing my favorite era too. Love all those UP loco's as well.

  • how long did that take you to make and roughly what was the cost. Great layout im subscribing :)

  • Al,,,can you jump on a plane and come to New Orleans and help me do my highways and roads? lol....Yours look great!

  • haha that rip 2pac is some ghetto shit hahaa

  • @twankedls yes he thought of everything to make this look like the shit hole known as urban southern california lol

  • Of the many, many videos I've viewed on here, I would have to say this is my favorite thus far. You have an amazing eye for detail & I am more than impressed with your choice of motive power. As a model railroader just getting back into the hobby after 30 years, you have given me many ideas & a serious interest in doing it right. I applaud your awesome layout & thank you for sharing your videos with us in the hobby. I like your weathering videos as well & plan to try it myself eventually.

  • great stuff i like your videos and the work you do is great!

  • what did the crazy ass kids do it was hard to see

  • Do you have a bridge that you put down once you enter the layout, so you don't have to stop the train.

  • Good Job on the Layout , Its Awesome !!

  • Very nice details, love the engines, keep the good work up.

  • is DCC expensive?????

  • @skylinrr34 It can be depends on how big ur layout is how many loco's and the brands u go with

  • Love the weathering.

    If you can't find a town you like to live in....build one! lol

    Your kids are going to get a fotune for all this stuff in about 50 years. lol

  • Nice to see some new scenery ideas I haven't seen on other layouts. The scrap/recycle yard, the guy getting new rims, & even the funeral. Good job

  • u should have somebody add some graffiti to some...some realistic graffiti

  • Nice weathering

  • Nice to see a young chap into model railroading! Sweet layout!

  • @AlcatrazPsycho08 Thanks dawg! I love model trains! Time to do some work now!!

  • awsome awsome looking layout!! the desert layout with UPs looks incredible. and 2:50 is SOOO cool!

  • At 4:24 were those real rocks?

  • These are absolutely outstanding! Super super job!

  • nice layout

  • dude youre a fruitcake to say the least. Youre layout and weathering are fair at best. Do everyone a favor and dont make any more videos of this garbage.

  • @krst123 you make something better bitch

  • @krst123 hey krst - I'm waiting for you to pony-up the videos or stills of YOUR mad-skills at weathering or layout or ? A fruitcake? You must be watching a different video or getting forgetful and commenting about your gay-porn HERE for something you're watching there in your plaid boxers eating Cheetoes. Shit or get off the pot, douchebag. Al puts out better stuff than 99% of R/Rers and your Mama knows it, too

  • @krst123 dude get off ur trailer trash lazy ass and make something better. so fuck off u lil jizz stain

  • Muito Bom, belo Layout, muito realista!

    Gostei!

  • Al, you need to do an up date of the layout, I know you are into the weathering, but the layout is great.

  • fuck bush i love it..your layout is fucking awesome!great weathering on your cars and locomotives

  • if the overlands fell over, you would do a homer simpson..D'OH!! They are really nice. Good job Al.

  • Really good work, I know you have lots of time invested, I used to have a layout, then life happened-lol Its a very relaxing hobby, good to see its not just us old folks interested in it. In my time this was one of the best hobbies there was to grow up with- much better than out getting in trouble in the street, and a pretty cool to feel like you created an entire empire of your own. I dont miss the stupid music either, too distracting from the work. Nice engines and great work-!!

  • "Fuck Bush" LOL

  • Impressive layout your attention to detail is Amazing Great Job

  • Very nice video. ou are definitely a "REAL MASTER" of the art of weathering.  All of your schemes on the locomotives you have done work on really work extremely well. I was really impressed! Thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us. Rich

  • Do you have a grain facility or silos

  • "I'm not crazy, I only have about 35 to 40 locomotives..."

    Err... I have 5. This is a good video of an awesome layout. 5*

  • Very cool looking layout. Watching all your recent videos I did not even know you had a layout. ... let alone one that is meant to be set in my backyard. I know the Coachella, Indio, Palm Desert area VERY well. Which leads me to ask about all the buildings, landmarks, etc .... I do not recognize any of them.... the ADM plant, the engine house, the water tower, overpasses, car tunnels, etc... Did you just make them all up or are they based on other areas? Either way, it looks cool.

  • Yes I am a layout owner. I have been for almost 6 years. This is an OLD video of my layout. I have newer ones. I have more recently been playing with the weathering videos.

    I posted a message for you on my page. I think I am blocked by you. I could not send you reply messages and I could not posta reply on any of your videos. Did you block me on accident maybe? Well elt me know

  • And my layout is BASED on southern California but not prototype buildings. Just the regional feel of the desert in those areas. Its all imagination dawg. LOL

  • awesome layout man

  • Huge layout must of cost alot to make I like it

  • Great Layout Monster, also saw Your vid on detailing. Sharp. @ MrAquarium, DCC is what got Me back into ModelRR, just recently. Track wirng is greatly improved from the "Old school". But I see Your prob, a lot of DC loco's. Maybe just gradduly sell ff the Loco's and turn that around toward DCC ready types. Having all the other materials lets You fix up a DCC big in a hurry.

  • Very Nice! Love the SD60M! You have one awsome layout man! Wish i had the space for something like that!

  • you are amazing man this is awsome

  • nice job!

    have fun...the extra detail is cool

  • Fantastic job on this layout! Thanks for not putting any music.The sound of the locomotives are important to the layout. I love the job you did on that Athearn AC4400cw. I myself have the union pacific #6200. Keep up the good work.

  • Fantastic! You're a real artist, with a lot of imagination and creativity! Thanks for the video!

  • Do you have sounds, startup, smoke ect? Need sounds. If you ever do put music use some metal, not that gayblade 2 pack shaker.

  • poor SP unit, id rather see that shit on ur UP engines ^_^

  • 35 to 40 Locos! I only have about 15. WOW man! You rock.

  • lol stick around for more video....of course Al lol ur great!!!

  • yo your dessert set up is tight, i ve been working on mine for 3 years now and is 2/3 the sze of your layout. i cant belive how many engines you have.

  • I've always wanted to get into this as a hobby. I love trains, I have hundreds of books because their that interesting to me. I would like to get a starter kit at a fair price. What would you guys recommend? You have a great layout MonsterRailroad. It's great.

  • Thanks dawg!! if you want to get into it here is what I recommend. Do not rush it. start with drawing out a track design in the place you have but in the meantime start purchasing pieces of rollingstock and track. Within a few months you should have enough to begin building a layout. It is VERY expensive though

  • I did what you said and I've purchased quite a bit of stuff. A lot of it from Ebay. I bought a lot of track, 4 engines, and close to about 60 rolling stock. I don't have anything set up yet just have the trains on display. I got a killer deal on ebay lastnight. I got a total of 29 misc. rollingstock for $46.00 + shipping. I'm diggin the new camera you got Al. That shit is tight.

  • I got the most of my collection from Ebay and train shows, and a shops here and there, I know I don't the most, but like 170 engines, 800+ cars. lord knows what in buildings, scenery, not to mention tons of detail parts for locos, wheel sets and sprung trucks for car and so on, two full 6' chevy truck loads filled completely full with a topper on it of just trains.

    I'm at the point now I don't need anymore shit but I keep buying....now do i sell off my DC stuff and go DCC is my troubles..

  • man that is a well planed out layout,in fact 1 of the best i have seen on here,man keep up the GOOD work

  • man thats a hell of deal right there

  • Extremely nice layout. Can't wait till you get a boxcar with FUCK OBAMA or KEEP THE CHANGE. That would get my vote. But all in all, I do like your theme on the layout. Reminds me of some scenes out in the desert near Redlands and up towards the loop in S. Calif.

  • Taco Bell!!! Nice. lol

  • Nice layout. Love the palm trees. Good work, Bud.

  • Thanks man BUT the palm trees have ALL been removed and replaced with different ones

  • yo yo yo man so sick, sure glad to see the f**k bush on the box car sweet touch....

  • how did u do the pavement on the roads?

  • I will do a how to

  • What about something for B.I.G.? He was cool too

  • NICE!!!!!!! 5****

  • You should get a 250 ton crane from athearn,weather it,add rust and put it on your layout and stage a derailment

  • i wish my trains could roll through a layout that good

  • Thanks a lot dawg.

  • great detail mate love the grffiti nice touch

  • hey you should do a car stuck on the rails vid

  • I like the TOWER55 UP ES44AC

  • I do too. They are one of my favorite locomotives in fact. The sadest part is they are no longer made and trying to buy them now is crazy because they are selling for MORE than retail now!! Check this out dawg! Last year Overland was at The springfield train show selling them at a discounted $100 a piece for a nonsound unit!! I should have bought at least 3 Now that same engine people bought for that price are getting twice as much for them on eBay if not more!

  • @MonsterRailroad ES44AC's Suck and Explode

  • @UP5140SD70M But they sure do look so good in UP paint lil dawg.

  • @MonsterRailroad Yes they do but UP Has maybe ten stored do to exploding turbos And SD70ACe's are very crappy do to computers crapping out so SD70MAC's SD70M's are the best and not but least the SD40-2 Is the best, Dylan

  • i fricken love your layout man!

  • Thanks dawg! i do too!

  • hey i really want to get a sd70ace union pacific 1982 1983 1995 1996 and 1997. About how much money would it be to buy those?

    one more thing i want to get my dash 9 weathered too!

  • Well good news is those SD70ACes will cost MUCH less than last year!! That is because MTH is making them in HO scale. They will be $229 a piece times 5 is just $1150.00 That is just $200 more than I paid for one SD70ACE from Overland Models. As for the weathering I have a few commitments before I will be able to start weathering for people again. I will let it be known when I do that

  • You should make a storage yard near your workbench so you can have all of your rolling stock be on the layout. That would be great!

  • only 40 locos? LOL thats a lot! :)

  • Sorry about the gay music I do not have audio on my camera so I used youtubes audioswap.

  • Really nice I mean NICE. I wish I had the skill and patients to make my freelanced desert layout look half as good I will post it as a Video response tell me what you think, and where I need to put in more effort.

  • Comment removed

  • your stuff is great man!

  • SHUTUP DICKHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!

  • In one comment you say his layout is great, then in this comment you criticize him. What's wrong with you?

  • Hey, why are you criticizing this guy work? Either show us something better or stop it. You don't have any videos now do you. I thought it was awesome. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all!!

  • @schul4 I agree with you, why do people try to "insult" him?

  • dont be hatin' on him he has amazing stuff and i would like to see you do any better. Great vid man huge fan

  • Thanks dawg. Yo if you would like to you are invited to come and see the layout in person anytime you want!! And as a visitors gift I will send you away with one of my own weathered boxcars, covered hopper or something similar

  • Thanks man

  • LMAO. YEA OK. LMAO Are you serious, you really like me this much? Listen man if you want you are welcomed to come to my home in Norwich, CT and see what I have. Just let that attitude down and submit to your daddy!

  • u live in norwich....wow i live in Burlington, CT pretty close i guess

  • I had to remake the RIP 2Pac engine late last year. I was pissed! I had to buy the SP unit all over again and redo it exactly like that from pictures I had too

  • Very nice!!!! I like the lighty weathered Kato UP at first! I like the dirty smoke black look on the vents alot. Cheers

  • lol I want the fuck bush boxcar ;D

  • Nahhh Fuck Bush! LOL

  • Very strong, but perfect for setting the time. Im not against him, but I think that its wonderful that people can say what they want and not have fear of retribution. I give you kudos just for the fact that u feel strongly about something and not afraid to say. I plan to once I get to do my big layout make whole bunch of political signs from the past election. Again I say good for you, not that I would agree with you politically but atleast you stand for something. BTW love the layout! KUDOS!!!

  • Thanks man, Hey dont get me wrong. If Obama fucks up I will state it too. I am not going to discriminate. I say whatever is on my mind and I am cool with that. Bush fucked stuff up for 8 years though. Dumb fucks who voted for him got what they deserved if they are struggling now. FOR ME THOUGH, Shit I was in the ghetto long before bush and I was struggling long before him and I suspect unless I win the lottery anytime soon I will continue to be struggling long time after Obama.

  • though I am rep, I dont vote party lines, and recently, I tend to lean Libraterian I dont think Bush was totally guilty. He did many things good, but what he did wrong was go down the dangerous road of out of control spending. I dont want to get too much into politics, as it can ruin perfectly good friendships lol. So I have to say keep up the good work, and if you get a chance come by my page and check out my "small" fledling half yard of a layout lol Peas bro!

  • Awesome layout man and nice job weathering the engines and cars !!!!!!!!

  • 5615 now there is a good unit my friend :D

  • wow you have so much! man your loaded, jk, lol. :D i wish my layout could be as cool as yours!

  • I'm Your fan!
