Building a Realistic Imaginary Mountain Model Railroad

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

#toy #train #Wildwest #diorama
I spent the last two weeks scratch building my largest diorama project yet! This HO scale mountain toy train layout is twice as big as my desert canyon railroad layout and cost around $1200 to make. I may make some additions to the layout like monsters or structures, but for now, I’m pretty happy with the beauty of the Rocky Mountain landscape.
Speaking of landscapes, check out my new WIW merch designed by my friend, @9-Times! crowdmade.com/collections/boy...
All my craft foliage and scale plants are from Woodland Scenics and Diorama Presepe
I learned about plaster cloth watching @RealTerrainHobbies

    Ahhh... I used to live in Colorado, so every time you do one of these builds, I always miss it.

And the lighting really complimented it as well, beautiful as always!

  • @AndrewKuntzman

    The mountian reminds me of lookout mountain in colorado, and that seemed to be a good idea since you have a weapon off train. So your lookouts can tell the train where the enemy is coming and they can destroy everyone on their train track below the “lookout”

    I absolutkey love seeing more of the mountain builds. It reminds me of the front range of colorado and it kind of has a homey feel to it. Your tressel at the end also reminds of the george town railway loop. Due to how it is a downward sloping gradient and it turns which georgetown was the first in the world to build. Amazing job as always.

    Kudos to you for attempting the triple, double-loop underpass. But, I’m glad you double, triple-checked so you didn’t end up with another tripped-up, double take. Instead, the nestled river overpass trestle allowed for double, even triple the enjoyment with every single glorious double pass.
