Conrail Hi Rail Layout Full Tour Video 2023 O Gauge

Published 2023-08-05
In this video I do a tour on Conahey Rail Conrail Hi-Rail Layout. I talk about how I built it and then show off the different scenes. Alot of my scenes are based on memories and Hollywood movies that I enjoyed.

I'm pleased to announce that Dakman Productions has now joined the Trainz partnership program for the long term. You get $10 off any purchase from Trainz by using the Dakman code.

    "20 years and building a layout" yes, perfect words! Having a smile and good time is what the hobby is all about!
  • @siverene
    Don't ever feel like you shouldn't show everything because I really learn a lot from you (and others) about building layouts!! Thank you for all you share!
  • You don't need a magazine You are our areas premier videographer A world class ambassador and a great guy Plus you have a great collection
  • Nothing to be embarrassed about here. Refreshing to see it all. One thing I enjoy about YouTube is general openness- it’s part of the charm.
  • This was an interesting film of your history and background. You're very talented and the muscle cars bring me back to that specific era. Well done and "way cool" ! Thank You Shawn 👍
  • @carldebellis7310
    It looks drop dead gorgeous. Your ingenuity is an example to us all and I must commend you for it. Don’t sell yourself short it is most certainly magazine worthy.
  • @flyboyu777
    Thanks for sharing your layout-I really like all the TV/movie cars and trucks!
  • @joso9524
    nice slow camera movements ! -- therefore easy to watch. great job ! Cool TV , Movie cars !🕶
  • @Jammer90210
    That is such a cool layout! It's crazy to think you could be in a room and then a model train goes through it just because it's up and running at that moment!
  • Now, I am a 2 rail , hand lay track kind of guy, a former 3 rail that just went on to 0 scale. I like you layout. rather than being crammed full of track going around in circles, the trains actually go some where. Your scenery tells a story, and isn't an after thought like on so many layouts. The painting of you tale in Conrail blue has given me the idea of trimming out my layout in Milwaukee Road colors.

    Great layout, love the Challenger!! Love the simplicity of your layout, I can totally relate.
  • @Steven_Williams
    Thanks for the tour Shawn! Your layout looks fun. Running my trains is very meditative for me, even though I have a Hardwood Floor Central Railroad. I am a diesel guy too. "Big ups 👍 from Chicago!"
  • Great video Shawn. I loved the history of your layout. I built my layout quickly as well and when I have time I upgrade small sections while making bit fun and not a chore.
  • @dennishall8709
    I didn’t realize you were a auto technician and I liked your your muscle cars I’m a retired auto technician and like you was into show cars I really appreciate your layout it also is very similar to mine Thank You for sharing your channel
  • @Buck_Rail
    Awesome video sir! Thanks for sharing!
  • @joeystrains.9316
    Nice video on the construction of the layout Shawn. My layout is built to run trains. That's what I enjoy. Your layout is impressive, especially when you are running long Conrail trains. I didn't know you were a mopar guy!
  • Thanks for sharing and the backstory. Very impressed with your hobbies. Especially truck racing in SJ which, I’ve never heard of. I, like you, am getting into railroading at a “not young age” unlike some of the other YouTubers here but, I want my layout to be quick, fairly accurate and full of trains I want. I’ve been collecting for 40 years, mostly Christmas stuff but, other stuff as well, maybe i will be able to show it off too. Great Job Dakman.
