We´re building a beginners Model Railroad layout from start to finish in only 18 days
In this video we’ll show you laying the tracks, connecting the control handle and running the first train on the layout. We´re also fixing, ballasting and weathering the tracks in this episode. The layout measures 5′ x 8′ and can therefore be built in most rooms in your house. The track plan geometrics follow industry standards so you can chose the type of tracks you like.
Very nice! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷! Ferromodelismobarretos
very good job what you do – thumbs up
Loading the layout with AnyRail 6.0, it shows me that the slopes reach also the 7.9%. Are they too high? In all the videos or articles on the web I red that the maximum slope percentage should be no more than 4-5%. It is true?
What’s the best method for removing the paint from the top of the rails?
By the way, Martin, I love your videos and plan on using most of it in my new 13×19 layout. I’ve laid all the track and am working out the kinks in the rails with engines derailing and cars detaching. Plus, I’ve got a large mountain waterfall that I know know how to make look good because of your waterfall video!!! Thanks!!!
I really appreciate these videos. I am just starting out. Can I buy your materials (plywood sub beds and train sets through you?) as I live in Canada. Regards. Tony Campbell
Hi just wanted to say how much I liked your video's. I got one question: if you airbrush the Marklin C rails does that have an effect on the electrical current through the rails on to the trains? Thanks in advance.
Subtitles please
Love these videos. I am building a Z scale layout using Rokuhan tracks, which I love but have a very light grey track bed. Wondering if anyone can point me what ballast type and color I should use to match them. And if it is OK to give these Z tracks a dark brown wash to make them look better (light weathering).
