One Of The Best and Most Detailed Model Railroad Layouts in the World 4K UHD

THE SUNDANCE CENTRAL RAILROAD - The Sundance was formed in January 2004 with the goal to create a more detailed and uniformly scened, large-scale traveling layout. This 1:20.3 scale modular model railroad consisting of forty modules for a layout size of 45 feet by 45 feet. The railroad consists of 400 feet of hand laid code 250 aluminum rails that are hand spiked with individual tie plates onto wood ties with a total of 16 turn-outs.

The modular was built by a group of seven model train enthusiasts. This diverse group is made up of people who have a passion of early narrow gauge steam locomotives to modern day standard gauge diesels.

The purpose for forming this modular group was to provide the public a realistic look at model railroading in a large-scale format. The modules are highly detailed from the scratch built supporting structures and buildings down to the surrounding scenery. The trains and rolling stock that will be running on these modules will also be highly detailed and weathered.

Just stunning! the models don't look staged but like they are caught in a snapshot moment in the middle of doing something. It looks like there is a story behind every scene. Amazing job!

[VictoriaMacLean-jp]

As a model builder I can attest to the hours, days, and years that such a layout entails. It is truly a work of wonder! The attention to detail is just phenomenal. Stunning .

To say that this is "the best and most detailed model railroad layout in the world" is an understatement.

This man should receive the Nobel prize for artistry and originality. This is the world's best train display without a doubt. Good job, sir.

[michaelleonard]

By far the best lay out and the most realistic I ever seen

[Evaunit]

There’s a certain art to a REALLY well done model railway, the best ones even have a little story to tell

If I had an Antman suit, at the end of the day, when I got home from work, I'd just shrink down and live this life til morning, then go back to normal size and head into work. And I'd keep it a secret.

1000% absoolut pure great madness, one of the best i have seen in 70 years!!!

Don't know why this showed up in my feed but it's impressive as hell.

I don’t know how many people this took or how many years, but the variety and attention to detail is outstanding. It’s obvious that so much went into the planning alone. You just can’t through something this fabulous together without a lot of planning and skill. And apparently they have both. My hat is off to you folks on a job that is more than well done. I actually don’t know the right words to describe something this fantastic. And thank y’all for sharing it with the world. It makes us old timers nostalgic when we see something like this. Again, thank you!

Forget just a model railroad
THIS IS ART

[hearttoheartme]

People have often said that they long for the good ol' days but to honest, I don't think many of us have truly thought about what that entailed. This model railroad set up gives a person somewhat of an idea the struggles, hard work and perseverance of the good ol' days. No retirement, no social security, no way to support yourself except to work till they throw a shovel full of dirt in the ground on you.

Fantastic job on the set up and the video of it. The music just adds to the ambiance of the whole thing. Thank you.

Every scene says a hundred stories....even though it’s not even a real town...This is beautiful

[Oblationem]

I am a retired Southern Pacific Railroad Conductor and this is the best I've ever seen. Well done...

[unclebob]

This is truly a living novel !!
Beyond my imagination.
I have never seen anything so real that wasn’t !!!

[stephenkemp]

This is my favourite model railway video of all time. Great music track as well !

It would be something to place a camera on the locomotive and have it run the layout. Someone’s life work on display here, absolutely mind blowing detail and realism. Unbelievable.

[charlesreynolds]

I admire anyone who can make models, wheather as detailed as this one or just a small basic one.

[swampwitchguitars]

This is art, a time machine, a storybook, and a brain massage . WOW !!!!

[nutt]

I haven't seen a YouTube video yet with better artistic detail and realism. The whole thing feels like you're in a story
