To each his own. I have enjoyed 50 year of model railroading as a hobby. Only smart people would understand.

Will be using this as a guide for one of my disabled clients to build his first layout

@ananyashukla5681 3 года назад

Used to watch this so many times when i was young. Those were the days

@stefanwosinsky1935 4 года назад

Thanks for posting! It’s very clear and it will help me out a lot! Last time i had a layout i was 16, and now i’m turning 27, so i’m rusty to say the least. Having vids like these where i get a step by step guidance will save me so much money, time, and frustration, the ideas are all in my head, and thanks to content like this i get an idea on how to start with the practical bit. Can’t wait to get started myself

cool i love this layout that has a model train in it and im going to start building it when im 14 and it will be easy to build when im grown up but for now im just 8 years old so im seeing videos how to build model train layouts to know how to build one when im grown up.

@Ericland_Entertainment_Inc 5 лет назад

I remember seeing this as a kid when I got my first and only model railroad!! If any of you in the comments are wondering what happened to that train set that came with the DVD, today it's known as the C.H.P.R.R. You can find it on my channel!

@sestren2503 14 лет назад

I love these kinds of videos. Really gives me good ideas and directions on ways to build. Really a lot better than finished layouts and "Heres what I did".

@alansmith6376 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for these videos guys. I’m very new into building my model and I drew a lot of inspiration and need to know information from your videos. Seriously, I cannot thank you enough. When I am done with mine, I will post a video and tag/message you guys. But to be honest, that’s probably a few years away.

@kalni4863 7 лет назад

Cool. I am a kid and I want to make a layout in my room. I want it to be just a plain forest with a waterfall. This got my hopes up it is so easy looking

@jameslujack2034 6 лет назад

Mitt would not divulge information so informally...he would pay someone else to do it...he is a Republican>>>unfrfiendly to older ways or workers..

@melissadarkstalker 11 лет назад

There are even women who do it. anyone with a creative mind and an eye for detail can do it.

@jmk3438 11 лет назад

I would use news papers , cardboard strips and masking tape for the mountains...Also i use durable paper towels soaked in woodland scenics plaster , it works just as good as rigid wrap. Just roll the newspapers in a ball and support them with masking tape and build it up. It will save you alot of money

Damn, but that looks good. I really need to keep this vid around for when I build my own railroad.

@AndrewNeilFalconer 14 лет назад

One can get usually obtain the Dow blue, extruded polystrene foam from wholesale and retail stores that also supply lumber. I saw a large selection of Dow extruded foam at a Home Depot Store. If your timing is right you could get some of the blue foam left-over from building or rebuilding structures in your area.

@ZakWolf 10 лет назад

I might try that hill terrain method on my next model railroad layout. It'll be on plywood but I can make the hills out of the foam stuff anyway.

@moonacre_ 10 лет назад

Thank you for your videos, as well as a great example of creating a layout! And, also like to see more examples to create your layouts. Good luck to you!

@SteamKing2160 8 лет назад

For leveling concrete, I would use like a toy steamroller to level it out. Yes it will get clogged but it will be realistic.

@ashevilletrainman6989 8 лет назад

lol.. I messed up and bought a 3/4 inch foam sheet... he he. pretty shallow lakes ahead!

@jacobw446 7 лет назад

If you have not laid your track, just get some foam safe glue, like liquid nail, and glue another board on it.

@Spiffyo 7 лет назад

Trainman46 bit late, but you could actually try and make some areas deeper and others shallow, hell you could actually make a mini island in the middle if the foam was higher.

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

This is great. I’ve wanted to build a simple train board and this helps a lot ;) Come get some Catspit~! ☠

@ctnjackson 11 лет назад

Hello I love how you layout the styrofoam for the rolling hills, and make it fit so perfectly. My layout unfortunately does not have that square fit to it. Anyway you can give me some ideas on how to square it up?

@LycoValleyRRFan 13 лет назад

@816hondarider I seen a article in "Modelrailroader" magazine they made a 4'x8' for $500. One thing you can do to save money make things like building out of trash (building/details/benchwork). Use meal dirt/sand/stone for scenery. Use toy cars like hotwheels for car (a little out of scale but they work) they are more cheap. I know many other ways I can PM you and tell you more.

Sheet cork is expensive so I used cork tack tiles which you can get in bundles for like $5.

What sucks is my citys last hobby shop got closed down about 2 to 3 years ago, so model trains are scarce.

@thunderturbine8860 5 лет назад

How to know which type of glue won’t eat away at the foam? I’ve been planning to make two layouts, one for my Marklin train set and one for my Bachmann train set in the near future. But I need to get this point sorted out first

@LEON13858 14 лет назад

how would i go about making a scrapyard scene. kind of like orange rust everywere and very black worn down engines with dirty warehouses. what kind of powder would i use for rust.

Do you have to have foam board down to make the scenery. Like painting and etc? or can you do to straight on the wood?

You can make the rock faces on the extruded foam by using the edge of a steel ruler to cut away at the foam. (NOT MY IDEA, BTW.)

@mikrohd3929 11 лет назад

@davehobby6421 11 лет назад

no point to even glue it, when you use easy track stuff. the benefit of easy track is to allow you unload and re-make another layout for a change. - just screw a few spike into the track to fix it, and when you expand your layout, redesign and redo
