That NWP layout looks awesome!! :tb-cute: NWP is my leading candidate if I ever have space to build a layout. Anyone know how to get in touch with that guy? (PM me if you do.)
Wow, there is some good stuff here. Not only is the modeling absolutely amazing, but the video work and editing is equally impressive. Keep these coming! I would like to see some TB members do some of these videos. Charlie
I agree - there is some very high quality material here! I second Ben's comments on the NWP video. But I have a soft spot for NWP since I grew up across the street from the Tiburon branch (and even got sent home from kindergarten one day for running out of class to watch the morning local trundle by :thumbs_up -Gary P.S. Jerry - you make those trains dance!

This is John Petrovitz' layout - a superb N scale layout. Since folks seemed to like that video, thought you would like to some some more pictures of that layout, which represents SP and NWP in the San Francisco and Northern California aree, these were taken during the Sept 2008 NMRA Coast Division layout tours, click this URL below to see more photos: Coast_Tours_John_Petrovitz Photo Gallery by ATSF_Arizona John Sing at pbase.com Again, thx John Petrovitz for being open for the Sept 2008 NMRA Coast Division layout tours. Now, back to videos (instead of static pictures).
Thanks for the additional NWP shots John. Why have I never heard of this pike before? It looks quite nice (as do most of the other, better-known pikes in this thread).

NWP Just an update to John Petrovitz's layout. John is my cousin and lives in So SF, Ca. He had not seen the thread due to the fact that his computer skills are WORSE than mine and not as good as Ally Oops...BUT he Can Model. Many of the structures on his SF downtown portion are of REAL buildings in SF, including the 3rd and Townsend station, Lefty O'Doul bridge, #1 Market St, Ferry Building. Patreo Hill, Coit Tower and many others..............
Marty - neat! I would love to see more photos of his layout if you have them and can post them. I recognize this last scene. -Gary
That Rio Grande layout is awsome! A bit of dirty track or wheels, but who hasn't had that problem? Here is a video of my old layout. I have posted it before, but I thought I'd get in on this thread. Hopefully I'll have new video in a few months! [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASlrzfhETlU"]YouTube - N scale Layout[/ame]
Mike Danneman's DRGW at Nscale Supply I did a search looking for video of Mike Danneman's layout and found a few clips on Nscale Supply's web site. The Cha;;enger's nice but the snow covered mountains in HQ video are spectacular. www.nscalesupply.com/ATH-challenger-mike.htm. Go to the bottom of the page for video. They aren't real long but very nice. Does anyone know of more complete vidoe of Mike's layout?
