Awesome HO Scale BN Model Train Layout in HD – 2-21-2009
Take a look at Tim Dickinson’s wonderful HO Scale Burlington Northern empire as we follow a grain train, with manned helpers, over the mountain and through numerous yards and staging tracks.
While the video shows an overall view of the layout, it’s difficult to get appreciation for the quality level of this railroad without actually seeing it in person.

I got sucked into model railroading with my hubby’s garden railroad when I met him in HS. We’ve been into HO and G ever since. We model BN after his passion for living near the Chicago-Aurora Racetrack line. I grew up originally near KCS. But My passion has become BN aswell.
