Onboard tour of Troels Kirk's On30 Coast Line RR

A ride on a train through the layout (at its present semifinished state), from Cranberry Wharf, all around the perimeter, through the tunnel, reverse loop and staging (with a couple of extra boring minutes edited away) and into the paper mill wye spur.

Thank you all for the much appreciated comments!

Amazing. I know the layout is not finished, but there were already long sections where it looked like full-scale reality. Better than reality. Beautiful work, Troels.

I've got to read your blog and figure out how you did the tall grass.

[troelskirk]

@grits3d Thanks! The tall grass is 1/4 inch long static fibres applied with a Noch Grassmaster electrostatic device.

For a few scenes there I thought I was riding a real train in Maine, very nice!

This is one of the most beautiful layouts I have seen. I swear, I could almost feel colder when i saw the dark clouds and felt it was going to rain on the layout. That's where the realism is, it makes you feel right there. Great job, and I am glad you take the time to share all this with us.

It's so amazing. The photos are fantastic, but to see it on the move from this perspective it almost like you are really there. I agree with eTraxx both beautiful and depressing! :-)

Brilliant!- very realistic and gives a good idea of scale speed.
