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.

    This isn't just a model train; this is a time machine. Took me back to my childhood in the 40's. Obviously, this is a true American treasure and should probably windup in the Smithsonian Museum at some point to be taken care of forever and ever.
  • @Loulovesspeed
    This layout is at such an exceptional level of realism and outstanding detail, that no amount of words could possibly do it justice. Magnificent!

    Doesn't matter how old you are, the love of trains can be enjoyed anytime !

    I have watched 1000s of model train layouts,and this is by far the best one I've ever seen. The realilizem is Disney-esk. I'm not sure Disney could top this. I believe the nudity is a little over the top, especially for a model train layout,but there isn't a close second to what's been done on this. They knocked it out of the park
  • @airfiero4772
    I’ve probably seen thousands of layouts in person, pictures or videos. This might be the most exhaustively detailed layout I’ve ever seen. Just wow.
  • @mmsbhogal290
    By far, this is the most realistic model railway I have ever come across. Apart from rail engines & wagons, the minute details are incredible. A welder, a barber, a painter painting a nude portrait, bulls pulling wooden carts loaded with logs, everything looks so real & familiar.
  • I am almost speechless!!!!!! What can be done with LGB size models is just stunning. An hour or two's work there for sure. To the three thousand people it took to construct this masterpiece; very well done.
  • The engines and rolling stock are impressive but the mechanical animation is exquisite in scale appearance and realism of movement. The realism of buildings and people figures beyond amazing. Keeping this all working must require as much skill as the original building and "tweaking" to get it working as desired. Congratulations to all involved.
  • Hi from England. I thought my layout was good, but this is the best I've ever seen, I'm 75 and I seen some. FANTASTIC. thank you.
  • Incredible. You don't need to know much about model railways to appreciate this masterpiece. My only remark is the humans could have less saturated colors to better blend in with the realistic environment.
  • How could you Not love This Layout? This is what Model Railroading Looks like At it’s Best.No Doubt.

    I saw this in person, and this video does not begin to show the quality, reality, high detailing, and exquisite modeling that these guys put together. This is my favorite RR I have ever seen in my 50 plus years of model RR
  • @cingcat3721
    Anyone could watch this video 200 times and not see it all. Incredible It's by far the most detailed layout I've ever seen. The weathering is absolutely stunning. The only correct way to watch this is to stop and start and view it frame by frame
  • @ecoRfan
    Sundance Central is the G.O.A.T. of model railroading
  • I believe this is the finest modeling I have ever seen. The overall detail, attention to proportion, weathering, and scenery techniques are astonishing.
  • I do not understand why people 'dislike' posts like these, what's there to dislike here? Simply beats me.
  • @Greenfluent1
    Wow, I am insanely impressed by the detail on this layout, and everything, the bushes, the grass, the trees, the trains and the railroad, even the house's and people is all made by people! The amount of effort this took is incredible, I'm very impressed.
  • This is fantastic, such a beautiful and detailed layout. I could stare at this all day. I've always loved trains and model trains since I was a kid. Probably because my grandfather is a train dealer. Every summer they would take me and my brothers to the real and model train museums in Lancaster, PA.
  • Que hermoso video. Los que crecimos cerca de una estacion ferroviaria sentimos esa nostalgia por esos momentos maravillosos cuando el tren llegaba y se mostraba imponente, la gente subía y bajaba y los trabajadores no para de realizar sus tareas. En mi país los trenes ya son muy pocos, yo vivo cerca de una estacion y de vez en cuando aún se escuchan estos sonidos maravillosos. Gracias por compartir!! Saludos desde México!!
  • For the 400 thumbs down 👎🏼 you can see the obvious lack of decency haha. They must hate themselves as well because these are completely fantastic on its worst review 👍🏼 absolutely astonishing & incredible work sir👊🏼
