Ride the In-ko-pah Railroad!

[Ray Dunakin]

I've just posted the first new video of my railroad since 2011...

Enjoy a ride on the In-ko-pah Railroad, my unique, 1/24th scale outdoor model railroad! Climb aboard a freight train pulled by a 4-6-0 steam locomotive, and watch the beautifully detailed desert scenery roll by.

You'll see the ruins of abandoned mines and miner's cabins; and you'll pass through Dos Manos and Mineral Ridge -- two old mining towns. Thrill as the train crosses spindly wooden trestles and high plate girder bridges! Hear the locomotive as it chuffs through the darkness of the route's many tunnels! You may even catch a glimpse of the railroad's ancient Model T rail bus giving someone a tour.

Ray, that is breath taking. The scenery is fabulous, the various dioramas add interest and the natural outdoor lighting sets it all up perfectly.

Thank you for sharing  and congratulations on a project excellently executed.

Thanks guys!

I shot some new pics of the railroad today... First, a shot of the whole layout (or as much as I could fit in the frame anyway):




In this shot, a passenger train is about to cross Serenity Canyon on the high bridge, while the "Tin Lizard" railbus crosses on a lower level:



And here they are passing the town of Mineral Ridge:


Enjoy!
