This is a nice ground level view.


Just to be clear, this is not my work. This is just another video from the same person that John posted.

Definitely a treat visually, but much more enjoyable on mute.

Nifty layout, but I agree with some of the comments regarding the soundtrack. One of the so-called "singers" sounded like someone was strangling a cat.

He sure likes signaling and complex track work. I'm not sold on C&O locos pulling TTX well cars but Rule 1 still holds.

I saw that, too, but I'm also guilty of a few anachronisms on my layout.

I particularly enjoyed the free flowing trackwork...not something easily done with commercial components. It also looks like code 40 to me. As to the "music" accompanying the first clip, well, at first I didn't know what the eitch to think, but after a few minutes I found myself grinning and enjoying the four-dimensional art show  :D Not that I need to hear it again anytime soon.
You can look up Gerard's other clips on YouTube, without the squealing; it's quite a creatively done railroad. Wonder why we haven't seen/dare I say "hear" of it before? At least I haven't, which may not mean much....
Anyone know where Gerard lives?

Only a guess, but I'm going with France.

The track work is especially notable.  The caption on You Tube does say it is code 40, so all the turnouts are presumably hand-laid.   This is the largest layout I can recall seeing with all code 40 track.  Impressive!
