Realistic HO Scale Operating Session on my Friend's BN Layout.

This is a video I made of where I spend most of my Saturday evenings. My friend Randy, has a huge layout that takes up most of his basement. It is a free-lanced BN and KCS layout. Santa Fe, Conrail and Amtrak also have trackage rights on the layout. He has a fully functional diamond and interlocking junction on the layout. The whole layout operates just like a real railroad. In the video, I show you what goes on during an operating night. They usually go on for about 3-4 hours depending on how late some people stay and there are lots of trains that need to be ran in order for the layout to function. He hasn't started scenery on the layout yet and that probably won't start until the CTC signalling system is completely installed. The whole layout is DCC. I have lots of fun running trains here. I have dispatched the layout a few times and I have been a yard master at Stagger Yard and Cedar Yard a few times but I haven't tried out Brock yet. I think I'll try it out next time I'm there. I think this is my longest video that I have ever posted on YouTube. If you have any questions about the layout please feel free to ask in the comments section. Enjoy the trains! *Update January 2015* Currently the owner of this layout is in the process of dismantling the layout in the video and he will be building a new one that will be modelled after the C&O and Conrail operations in the Detroit, Windsor/Essex, Chatham and St. Thomas areas in the 1980s. Updates to follow. Thanks for 80 000 views by the way! The owner and I never thought it would get this many views and likes. Here's a link to a time-lapse of Brock Yard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6K8_4YFMKA&feature=gp-n-y&google_comment_id=z12zwbpb2sv2ilda504ci51xuuzkjxlgbic Thanks for watching!
