The most important aspect of a model railroad, especially a modular model railroad is getting the modules to line up perfectly... and that starts with foolproof benchwork!
In this video I'll be stepping you through my method for building awesome modules that fit together perfectly every time.
This is a series of videos that will progress right from step one which is planning all the way through to adding scenery and running operations on your layout.
For those wanting to check out part one, and get started following the series be sure to check out the written article here: www.bouldercreekrailroad.com/...

This is going to be EPIC!

@steveross129 Год назад

I visited the site and only Part 1 link is active. Part 2 says "Comming Soon." It appears to be an active link but nothing happens when I click it. Part 1, BTW, is very good and useful.

@ColtonsHobbies Год назад

Just looking how to do model railroad benchwork.

@stephanienoire1892 Год назад

so excited 😮

@RonsTrainsNThings Год назад

Hey Luke, I always love all of your stuff, but I'm personally very excited to see you doing a model railroad series. Thanks for sharing.👍🏼👍🏼

@BoulderCreekRailroad Год назад

Thanks Ron, yeah I've wanted to get back into building a proper railroad for a while now! I can't wait to get trains running!

@niklaseriksson3343 Год назад

For years I have wondered why you haven't built the most epic model train layout known to man, I'm not even going to try to describe how exited I am for this series!

@blainedunlap4242 Месяц назад

After working as a furniture maker while attending college for an engineering degree everything began to pay off when he started Railroad Modeling. Fantastic.

@zentoa Год назад

Looking Forward to such a large model :) I know it will look absolutely amazing!

@BoulderCreekRailroad Год назад

Thanks mate, I really hope it comes together as I have imagined it 😊

@HistoricLife Год назад

Precision even in places not seen, I expected nothing less from you Luke. I look forward to more videos on this project.

@pranavjayachandran307 Год назад

This is the video that I have been looking for all along

@BoulderCreekRailroad Год назад

Awesome, I hope you enjoy the series 😉

@markdalton3834 Год назад

Ikr!

@jamfjord Год назад

It's as if all the planets are finally aligned, eh?

@QuazarCG_Studio Год назад

I have been waiting for this for years. So exited! Your dioramas are flawless and I've always wanted to see something like that put together into a larger layout.

@Vickie-Bligh Год назад

This is cool. All the dioramas you've made over the years have made me wonder what they would look like with a train setup. Thanks for this, Luke. Look forward tp the next segment.

@sammy_dog Год назад

knowing Luke and his skill level this will be one of the most realistic looking layouts not only in Australia but the entire world I cannot wait to see the finished product fasten your seatbelts people this series is going to be the most epic builds known to man woman and child

@Jeff-Parr Год назад

Never heard them called Kreg screws. Had to look it up. This video is just the inspiration I need to start my own modular layout. Now to figure out where I am going to put all the stuff I have in my shed to make room for it!

@jamylesage1530 Год назад

I was only ever really interested in this channel in the context of a full model railroad setup - so I am beyond pumped for this series!!

@DartsideScenics Год назад

This is going to be a great series to watch - looking forward to it 😀

@barnabasbacskai-nagy8380 Год назад

Amazing! I think this is the moment that we've been all waiting for :) Your scenery builds are always a delight to watch, but a whole series about building a complete rairoad track is some top tier stuff :)) cheers

@The_Dude96193 Год назад

Waited for years, for a whole layout series

@marknicholson2281 Год назад

Great to see you building a layout again. My introduction to your channel was about 8 years ago when I was researching how to build benches and have learned so much about scenery from you since. As it happens I’m starting another layout after a house move. Open frame but not modular. Keep up the good work.

@bugler75 Год назад

Just started my first layout in N Gauge. Looking forward to this series 👍🏼❤️ Thanks Luke

@plot1184 Год назад

Your attention to detail is remarkable.

@davestinyworkshopotherprojects Год назад

I don't think anyone can find a better tutorial than this, well done.

@valborchardt3596 Год назад

Thanks so much Luke, looking forward to the next video….i hope you and your family are all well….take care from South Africa

@p7s7cdfk Год назад

I’m so glad to see you embarking on a layout construction project. I’ve watched all your videos and am so impressed with your skill and attention to detail. Needless to say the bench work is superbly built and I look forward to seeing the landscape evolve over time. Thanks for the inspiration you give to us all- Glyn

@MidtownSun Год назад

This is a VERY welcome change to your video series and I’m quite excited to see the remainder of the videos! I’m also hoping that you chose the “modular” design so that you can continually add more modules (and thus, videos) with new ideas.

@ironwolfusa Год назад

I've watched you for a long time Luke and I must say, your work is awesome! This series is a very easy way to build a layout, you have always explained your work in a way that anyone can understand. Thanks for all the great work and PLEASE, keep it up!

@schrodingerscat1863 Год назад

Great to see you doing a full layout, based on the quality of your dioramas I have high hopes this project will result in something very special.

@45degreesmodelling Год назад

I’m looking forward to seeing how this comes out, I can only image that it’s going to be spectacular!

@brentonthorpe7328 Год назад

This has made me very happy! Can't wait to watch the layout build progress.

@alexmorgan2296 Год назад

A superb masterclass in carpentry and construction and so very useful as a guide to starting a layout - thanks for sharing and shall really look forward to watching the whole series.

@teaselbay7235 Год назад

Hey Luke. Look forwards to keeping up with your new layout. Given your fantastic skill it’s bound to be an amazing layout!

@dettentown Год назад

It was about time you made a full layout! Love your stuff!

@Hylian_Grouch Год назад

Awesome surprise! My favourite RU-vid modeller is making a railway layout. Excited to see this progress

@krowvin Год назад

YESSSS, i've been waiting for this series since you first mentioned it. I knew there be more trains in your life!

@HumancityJunction Год назад

It is really great to see you getting back into model railroading.

@derekalexander4030 Год назад

This is exciting, watching one of the best build a railroad. Thanks for doing this.

@peterstecks7660 Год назад

Excellent Luke. Thanks again for taking the time. 👍

@NottsBobUK Год назад

Thank you Luke, you're videos are always incredibly interesting. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

@tuckeyuk Год назад

I'm very excited for the rest of this series! Thank you

@Gargraves100 Год назад

Luke: Perfect! This is exactly what I have been looking for. Rising rates on our variable mortgage means we must sell our house, pay off our debts and rent a house next year. A modular layout allows me to keep enjoying the hobby no matter where we live. Many thanks!

@dodgeguyz Год назад

You haven’t been posting much lately. Now we can see why. I’m (we) are looking forward to this series. Will be looking forward to more videos.

@stuartkorte1642 Год назад

Awesome, the builds in a layout!!! Look forward to what’s coming down the line.

@TheRismint Год назад

I'm so excited for this series!

@johnschutt9187 Год назад

This is really exciting. I'm looing forward to the whole series. Thank you for taking us along.

@luctoulouse Год назад

Wow, what a great tutorial. I wished I had this video when I started. Cheers from Canada.

@shimesu443 Год назад

Perfect timing, as I was just considering getting into model railroading myself. I know that whatever you build, it will look amazing at the end, so I'm looking forward to this ride.

@rwissbaum9849 Год назад

Fantastic video! I agree completely with the 600 mm depth of your layout. I once tried a layout that was 800 mm deep, and although I could make that reach over the bare sub-roadbed, once I had scenery and buildings installed, the reach was too much - and I am 185 cm tall. I have 18" radius curves at both ends of my layout. I made sure to provide a transition curve at the ends of the curves - this helps ease rolling stock into the tight curves. I am still limited to 65 scale foot long passenger cars and 4 axle locomotives. Looking forward to the next installment!

@thesarcasticsettler252 Год назад

Your diligence alone earns a like. It deserves so much more but we do what we can.

@spiffysophical Год назад

I’m unbelievably hyped for this!!

@therealDonMac Год назад

I can not begin to describe my excitement for this series. I love this!

@CNJmodeler Год назад

Been waiting to see this for years. Looking forward to watching it progress. Thanks for all the amazing videos.

@evanthomas635 Год назад

Thanks for this! I've been looking for quite some time for a simple, unobtrusive way to align a detachable staging yard at one end of my layout, and those alignment dowels will do the job perfectly. Better yet, I see that there's a power-routing version -- this is an elegant solution to something that's been vexing me for two or three years. I always learn something from your videos -- much appreciated!

@johnbanicki7232 Год назад

Very nice! Look forward to watching the entire series. Thanks for sharing.

@roskgo1193 Год назад

Definitely very excited about this series! I have loved your other videos and those are my inspiration for when I build my layout. Seeing this used in actual practice makes me very excited!

@normanrowe2831 Год назад

Back to the beginning. Outstanding. I very much look forward to your progress.

@BananaTie Год назад

That was the best layout woodwork video I have seen so far! You are answering a lot of questions that I needed to research for my self after watching other videos. Beautiful photography. All in all, great job! Thank you for sharing!

@MikesFoggyIdea Год назад

Big project, exciting. I love watching the construction process, it gives me ideas and tips on doing my own.

@NathanielKempson Год назад

HELL YEAH LUKES BACK!! Ive been waiting for this series ever scince you made those really old videos about benchwork!! Looking forward to this series as it proggress!!

@mattyhanno2592 Год назад

This is the series we've all been waiting for. Can't wait to see the end product.

@BoulderCreekRailroad Год назад

Thanks mate, hope you enjoy it 😊

@RicoGalassi Год назад

Always been waiting for a layout build!!!! Can't wait to see the finished product!!

@sherleysmith1889 Год назад

This video make me want to rethink my model railroad. Great video I will look forward to the series.

@DB--lv6tt Год назад

Wow! How long I've been waiting top see the building of a railroad on bouldercreek railroad! Hot stuff!

@jibeji Год назад

As usual, perfeclty explained. I can't wait to see the project growing!

@piotrcholewa3382 Год назад

oh man so happy you are back and we all hope for more videos!!

@kyliemorgan8042 Год назад

Love your work. I’ve learnt so much from you that I am using on my own N scale model railway. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

@alekxanderhenrique1420 2 месяца назад

Hello! I've been following you for some time now. Your work is simply incredible! Soon I'm going to start putting together my railroad model and you're inspiring me and helping me a lot! Thanks!

@ollien3359 Год назад

Awesome work, Luke - I can't wait to see what the final model looks like!

@gregbowen617 Год назад

Great to see you building a layout! I know it’s going to be a fantastic project and can’t wait for the next episode! Cheers from Melbourne

@lolSillys Год назад

About time! I am so excited for a full layout. Love your models.

@patapscofallsdivision2579 Год назад

Excited to watch the progress on your layout. I really like the integral valance. Ideas are percolating!

@misterflibble6601 Год назад

Great tips and methods for building benchwork! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

@kenlipson8686 Год назад

This is gonna be awesome to follow your journey!

@johnd8892 Год назад

An added bonus that you are modelling my local railway, as i also do, but reaching a huge audience. Due to the quality of your work.

@michaelimpey1407 Год назад

Luke, thank you for sharing, it is going to be a great series, I can feel it. Cheers, and stay safe, Michael

@subhrajitsarkar3222 Год назад

@froppygirl994 Год назад

❤ so cool. Cannot wait to see these come to life with your awesome scenery art work.

@johnkelley9877 Год назад

This was great! Even without ground work it is very impressive and the construction is neat and precise. Thanks for sharing this.

@OGSnoberry Год назад

YESSSS! This is what I've always hoped for watching your channel! So excited for this series!

@christophervella-croft855 Год назад

Been waiting for you to do a layout for years can’t wait to see it. What a wicked idea this is would make moving it so muck easier.

@gullijons9135 Год назад

Amazing timing, I'm just about to start building a layout in n-scale with 600mm depth and I wanted to make it modular! I can't wait to watch this series!

@lyellgeorge2673 Год назад

commenting to boost the algorithm. cant wait for the next parts of this series!

@Hanok_diorama Год назад

You are starting a great project. I really respect you.

@patrik5123 Год назад
