  • Assembly instruction of the ground surfaces around the industries and yards. We´re also building the terrain structure for the mountains and tunnels.
    - We´re building a beginners style Model Railroad from start to end in only 18 days -
    The Model Railroad measures 1.5 x 2.5m (5 x 8ft) and can therefore be built in most bed- and living rooms. The trackplan geometrics are following industry standards, so you are free to chose the type of tracks you favor.

    - Tunnel portal double track, Noch item , and single track Noch item.
    - Inner tunnel walls, Noch Gmbh item
    - Terra Form kit, Noch item
    Listing of items used in the videos, such as tracks, houses and landscape material will be added to the Martinstown website: mrr-tutorials.c...

    I strongly recommend 'painting' both sides of corrugated cardboard before using it for landscape and track surface. Let the cardboard dry out. This means the cardboard will set, and warp much less when landscaping.

    I have been in isolation for over a year now i would like to add is that the minature construction is a really good pastime to do during the virus pandemic when we are in isolation ...keeps your brain busy ,focused and the satisfaction that you are constructing some awesome miniature pieces or sets that will eventually become an heirloom for your family and friends to enjoy and share ...not only that but its also good for your overall well being and mental health ...in my opinion people who have some form of hobby or pastime cope better during this unfortunate time ...than those who dont ..and is a good opportunity for more people to investigate getting into this type of hobby ...stay well and take care

    Thank you Martin for another installment of your project layout. It has been very interesting to see some of the European systems used for layout construction. Also, I plan on using your method for track cleaning with a wooden block. When I hand painted my track I did a small section at a time and ran a plastic edge over the rail surface before the paint dried to make cleaning easier after the paint dried. It also helped my more finicky engines if I cleaned the inner edge of the railhead. Cheers from Wisconsin!

    I just stumbled on this and this is effin brilliant. I haven't thought about HO trains since I was a kid (too many years ago to admit) so knew nothing about the digital revolution and the improvements made in track systems. I was building with cork roadbed, flex track and all the issues that came with that. Will I take up the hobby again....most likely not...but I am really enjoying the creativity of this series.

    A second control handle is a good idea, but isnt there an app for free, that you can use instead. That way your friends can come and run their trains on you layout without having to buy more handles ? They just bring their phones. And then you can buy a third loco😀 instead for a second handle. Help us save some money here, you used to be great at that. Anyway nice video as always ! Thanks !

Also all of us old guys carefully vacuum up or sweep up any stray ballast as it can be re-used and it is expensive...

To use the type of sheet that is more long wearing ....why.... because some of the manmade material sheets may degrade after a period of years ....you put so much work into making the miniatures ...it would a shame for the base to turn brittle ,shrink,crack or to degrade over a period of years...i dont know what type of bases was used lets say 50 years ago ..... but some styrofoams or materials ....can degrade after a period of years depending what they were made of or put into them...i am sure you get my meaning .... ...its was just something i was thinking about ...also even to the type of glue or types of adhesive tape ...they lose the stickyness or dryout over a period of years ....i make dollhouse minatures ...and found some types of glue get brittle and dont hold together as well after a period of years ...and some of the furniture turns fragile and falls apart easier....idont have much experience with trainsets however ..but ..i would like to know what materials. Would be better to construct a base ..or is that an overall risk that we hobbiests take when we work and run into with these types of materials.... what ages better verses the synthetic type or what problems in your experience or research ....you may have encountered over the years .with materials degrading with age ....what would ...work the best.... .also i would like to thankyou for providing me with some good hints in making miniatures ...even though i am not into making trains ...i do appreciate the cross over applications of the miniature hobbies when i am working on my hobby ...plus alot of the materials used are similar ...... i really do like looking at the trainset construction and can see satisfaction one gets with the trainset hobby with amount of realism that goes into them ....because it gives me insight ,ideas or hints into my miniature dollhouse hobby construction as well ....thanks again

      Hi again.. The selection of methods and materials for this project is optimized for a family in an apartment or house building together in a common room, like livingroom or bedroom. Meaning.. One should not be required to go out on the balkony, or in the garden to cut plywood avoiding sawdust everywhere. I would choose different materials and methods a full grown man with his own tool shop, building his layout in a large designated Train room in his house. I’m also thinking that this layout will not be around more than 4-5 years maybe, so easy build has strong priority over durability and performance.
