I watched all of these videos with my father 10+ years ago when I was a child. Fun to watch them again :)

Michael Gross is into model railroading?! Holy Crap! Burt Gummer, weapons badass does railroading! Cool!

holy cow. i'm getting that feeling of making one too

Cool vid.

Great how to. I'm going to do this on my slot car track.

i dont collect trains, im a wargamer by nature, but this video was fantastic and showed me alot of things that will help me in my next board or display piece. Thanks guys!

+The World's Greatest Hobby. Good job man :) This really inspired me to make my own layout. Which I'm currently planning to make.

Excellent video to help get entry level modelers going strong. It's a shame so many punks have to leave their crappy posts for others to see.

Truly magical. LOVE IT! Thanks for posting!!!

Looking back to this video about a year after i got started into the hobby, this video sparked my imagination. Amazing

Thank you so much for this tutorial, guys!

Dammit he makes it look so easy....

wow this is really handy for beginners in making model train sets ive began making my model train layout and this video made it a whole lot easier. THANKS GREATESTHOBBY!

Got some great ideas from this and other parts thanks for showing it.

Very nice good job

Amazing, amazing job on these videos! This is the way instructional videos should be done.

This is all so beautiful!

Fantastic!!! Thanks for inspiration.... Modeller from Slovakia, Europe.

Thanks , that was a big help

These are great videos!! I'm going to use these useful techniques on my layout!

I miss doing stuff with my train sets as a kid.

wow this has really helped, i will see my bachamann class 150 going trough lovely scenery yet.

Nice video, Like !

I wish mine looked that good!

Awesome videos. Thanks!

Thanks You Thanks You Thanks You Thanks You Thanks You

Very straightforward techniques with the right amount of instruction to make it good for beginners without being boring for more advanced builders. My only suggestion is to offer alternatives, where reasonable, to ready-to-use products from a specific manufacturer. While these products have a place, using them for everything adds a lot of avoidable expense and does not encourage as much creativity.

the layout turned out nice! im making a n-scale layout.

Love it great tips

to the one posting this (if your the one that made the video) the scenery techniques and all are fine.. so it the track and such, but so many people are now losing their homes or have family move in that there isn't going to be space for 4X8 layouts anymore.. they weren't really that great anyway. You have to start going more like europe and japan plus like "long time modelers" and do the layout along the wall. Shelf layouts or free standing as they don't take up much space and more designs.

9:36 Supah time lapse! WOOO!

so relaxing to watch.. :)

I actually used that ground cover method on my current train layout; painting the plywood in earth and green colors (depending on the area) and sprinkling the ground foam turf (it's even by the same brand: Woodland Scenics!) It looks much better than the grass mat I used on my old layout. Since I didn't use roadbed track, I also applied ballast to the track after it was laid, and it looks pretty good.

For the currently layout I built after that one after our move into our current house, I again used that same ground cover method, painting the insulation foam base in the earth colors and sprinkling the ground foam turf in areas requiring grass (mostly using Woodland Scenics and Life-Like's grass material) and Woodland Scenics gray "gravel" for the railroad yard.

amazing video!

Punto positivo 1 abrazo !

love your videos

well done !!!!

Nice!

cool that really helped with the mountains

Great video !!

thanks for the inspiration

One of the best made "series" on YT! Why don't improve it with a Faller Car-System?

0:48 hes so engrossed in his happy little world

im glad every body is wathcing this series again

you could add a switch track that leads off to an area were you want to eventually extend it,or have your coal factory on an end section on outside of overall main line for a future extension.. Going forth into bigger layouts at start, will really hurt you in the long run easier to start with a basic like this one but customize it to your fashion.

i swear i saw this model railroad for sale on tv once on discoverey.

this looks beautifull

nice project

great video... keep up the good job and the video's coming... thanks

It's beautiful

really cool

I'm about to make my layout this summer

I am considering putting Hydrocal on all exposed foam to protect it, because most likely that would be the place where the foam would end up being smashed or cracked somehow.

Definitely a good way to start the hobby. However, I would choose hand-made structures instead (made of balsa wood, styrene or, even, thin cardboard. In that case, it would be necessary to purchase the doors and windows). Also, making the grass with wood sand does´t make a layout look worse (even though its a kind of a cliché) while it's a much cheaper alternative. Concerning to the trees, little pieces of real trees sticks (specially fork-shaped ones) with some green painted pillow synthetic foam on them are an alternative.

why does it feel like my life savings is about to be thrown out the window?

I have spent months researching diy railroad layouts and discovered an awesome website at Jareks Hobby Club (google it if you're interested)

I just found out sadly the guy in this video Dick Cecil passed away over the weekend. RIP

I plan to build this later in n scale and attach it to my other n layout.

now that the smooth it and hydrocal are dry now comes the fun part scenery.

This is a kick ass video and I learned a lot of what I wanted to know about how I might do this ;) Come get some Catspit~! ☠

most of the video is great but the roads could have been done better

32Jonathan32 I also hate plastering. I use roof shingles for grass and ballast and dirt. I use insulation boards to create my different elevations, never polystyrene. I make use of different grades of aquarium gravel as well, especially for my rock quarry. And I use cotton balls for trees and shrubs along with pencil shaver waste to use as texture for the cotton balls. There is more than one way to scratch a cat. There is no need to spend a fortune to create a great layout.

nice job make more vids

i'm doing this tomorrow

@Xenomorph237 one thing you can do is use cooking foil, wrap it into a ball then unwrap it, then apply plaster to the dull side of the foil then once it has dried, peel off the foil, and you have a rock face!

There are many factors in building a railroad layout. One place I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Jareks hobby club (check it out on google) definately the best blueprint i've seen. Check out the awesome information .

To Yaseen Gate Satellite, Stop these cheeky advertisements! There are plenty of resources available for free and there is no need to pay for information on this subject.

I got a 3ft by 8ft(with a cutaway in the town section taking it down to 2&1/2ft ) and a 1x3 secondary area through two portals nothing but foam and a dream so far though

hey, um what style ground cover did you use? coarse, fine? a mix? and what shade?

I'm trying to make the maddison central layout. But what sucks is that I can't find Don's Shoe Store, Adam's Ribs, Bill's Glass Shop, Nor Merchants row lll.

don't glue them. you'll have to reach around them and such for cleaning and they WILL get bumped.. just keep them loose.

good

people can go what they want

and about how long does it need to dry? before it becomes solid

good !!!🚂🚃🚆🚈🚈🚊🚋🚋

My layout will never look as good as this! :(

if you have lights in the buildings you shouldn't glue them. this makes it easier to replase bulbs

So tell me! what color is the ground cover Mister GreatestHobby?

heh heh 1:49 no pun intended

How long did it take you to build this layout, because I am planning to build one in my garage?

with this i will fix the world *holds up ground cover

Can anyone tell me if we put asphalt ofer the track,will it work with ez track

wait, could you tell me how to make a tunnel? HELP its too late to go back, step by step, best method and i sub!

what kind of track do you use.

Where do u get realistic water? please reply to this asap. i need it for my project

does anybody know how many trees he used?

what wood is it

what shop do you use

Looks great, & I haven't done a layout yet.... but why leave the track down and tape it? Can't you make the track layout & remove the track to avoid getting plaster, paint, foam, and/or ground cover all over it?
