55 years in the hobby with the same layout. It started out as a 4x8 oval, and now is a 26’x 26’ empire.
WOW! Nice 👍👏! See, I’m a beginner and my birthday is nearing and a layout is what I want.
Your layout looks BEAUTIFUL! 👍👏
Advice to beginners: You may find you actually love your layout so when you build yours, be sure to allow for expansion. Keep everything level and solid. Right on cool you got it
Thank you. Patiance is also important. Im only a kid and learned that the hard way...
Another thing. Drill holes under the track for the switch wires before gluing it down. I learned THAT the hard way.
Excellent advice
Yes, I can only have a smaller layout, and I am planning on expanding everything later.
This is not just a hobby, it's an art form.
It is ,Ever since the first official steam locomotive has been created people have been modeling it and it has been an art for over a century

@Tristan Maxwell facts
No its a hobby
I am a fine artist who is also fascinated with trains. I agree with you.
Model Railroading is the Best therapy hands down.
Nice Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched - Januke Henatalie Formula (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great exclusive product for dominating DCC model railroads without the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my friend Sam after many years got cool success with it.
I'm researching diy railroad layouts and discovered a great website at Jareks hobby club (check it out on google)
Except when you get frustrated and break everything
Got to have a dog sitting there watching you do it. You know, someone to talk to.
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "best running n scale locomotives" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Piyaliyah Uncommunicative Preference - (do a search on google ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to build a model train railroad easily without the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.
My dad, brother, and I recently got into the hobby that is model railroading. It’s awesome. We don’t really care if our engines have sound or smoke or anything, we just like the fun of it. We have N-scale, and our trains consist of a diesel train running a passenger train, courtesy of the Silver Streak Zephyr, and a steam freight train, courtesy of the Union Pacific Big Boy (which I got for my birthday) and 4 freight cars including a caboose that I recently purchased. Our strategy is to have 4 types of engines pulling 4 types of trains. My brother is covering the passenger trains, and I’m doing freight. We need now a steam locomotive to pull passengers and a diesel locomotive to pull freight. We’re really happy with what we have right now.
This isn’t a hobby, it’s a type of therapy! Just watching this calms me, really wish I had space for one though
Hi there! As I commented above, there's this channel called Central Los Andes - not popular yet, BTW - that I found thanks to YT algorithm, amazingly realistic in my opinion, and built on a really small shelf: ruclips.net/channel/UCBdiygvjOVlLFVoFz_E5dYwvideos Hope this can be useful.
Just bought my first Lionel set I'm 47 years old and have always wanted to do this thank you for a great video
If you have the room, time and money to do a railroad, the experience is like nothing else. The people we met while researching and buying our equipment and supplies were a unique bunch. Artists all and passionate especially for their own work. From the guy who scratch built everything except the locos to the guy who made a hump yard so complex, he didn't have room for scenery. The challenges of any layout you decide on can keep you engaged (and possibly broke) for years. The world is yours to create or replicate and I'll guess you'll want to do both at some time in the hobby.
This video was done about 25 years ago. I had brought the DVD 10 years ago knowing it was an advert for a specific company, as it was plastered all over the magazine. I just liked the bit of tuition this video offered.
It’s been my dream to have one of these Model Railroads for years

Idunnohuur thx

Circle is boring boring...
Thank you
Thanks
model railroading takes my sadness and lonelyness away i can finally have peace and enjoy a miniature world watch trains roll by
What I agree with and what I disagree with.
Agree:
The scenery advice is good. I'm gonna try this technique for my grass and mountains. For those of you wondering, use foam as depicted here. Bare wood will make too much noise.
Disagree:
Don't use bare Bachmann EZ-track. If you use it at all (it is easier than cork) add ballast. The same is true for Atlas True-Track, Kato Unitrack, and Life-Like Power-Loc Track. Additionally, make the most out of your space. Don't waste so much space. Finally, make a track plan that has turnouts, letting people get to the world outside your table. Don't lock it in. Obviously, you wouldn't run the trains off the edge, bit simply having the track improves the look. Oh, add a yard and siding too.
All in all, great video, great tips. Follow them, but don't rely on them.
*Note: I can't say an opinion on the bench work as I have not used this plan for my own layout.
Families that play together stay together, excellent video! Thank you.
Here is a professional tip. Before you glue the track down, drill holes for the switch wires.
At this point, this video is childhood nostalgia for me
Model Railroading isn't just a hobby , no sir... IT'S A WAY OF LIFE! :-)
What the heck! Bert Gummer playing Mr Rogers was the last thing I expected…
Pro-tip, you can replace the non-terminal rerailer with an E-Z Track Crossing Gate. Also, I suggest adding yellow road marking down the center of Main Street for added realism.
This is old school. I remember buying VHS tapes like this in the 80's. Of coarse I was stupid and didn't keep them.
Timeless. The hobby just keeps getting better 👍🏼
I never thought Burt Gummer would teach me to build a model railroad.
Having Burt Gummer narrate/host this makes this much more entertaining
Great tutorial video but im sorry the guys facial expressions had me in stitches 😂
Gracias señora por su maravillosa acción y rescatar este hermoso gatito. Dios la compensará por su humanidad y amor ❤️
This is a bout model trains not about a cat
I just built the table for my first train platform. I fastened the two leg assemblies 64" apart. The length of the angle braces (1/4 x 1-1/4 molding) is described as 48" long in the video, but I had to make the length of the angle braces about 70" to fit properly between the leg assemblies. Thanks for a great plan.
Yes, the 48 inch call is wrong
Washers are pressed , so one face flat , the other face curved at edge . Curved face next to nut . Performs and looks better ! . Panel pins used could make a table to support the house ? . 😮😊❤ Clear , concise guide to banging up a beautiful layout. Thanks guys. Dave
Great video! I’m a beginner and this is just what I needed. Thanks again
Pro tip: the best possible adhesive (and cheapest) for the poly styrene insulation boards is acrylic latex paint. Home box stores often have a return or damaged section for next to no cost. The paint only needs to be applied to one side and is a better bond than the best adhesives in the store. Good luck!
i keep watching this years later and its awesome
I have the DVD version of this
this was my bible in 2013 when I did my first model railroad. Can't thank this video enough for all the information I've gotten from it.
I had this video on a disk when I was 9 years old. I lost the disk but I'm so glad I found the video.
This video resonates pureness and happy afternoons and I love it
I have a different scale of model railroad and I planning on building a layout soon this video is a huge help for advice , Thank you !
Hi guys I’m just getting into the hobby a great video it has helped me get some great ideas I’ve been looking for what’s an average amount people spend monthly on there hobbies
Whatever fits your budget
I watched the whole video through thanks for this wonderful experience as I had gotten this set yesterday
Of course I had a car player but it’s pretty much crushed in storage since we moved
I am glad I learnt english.
Thank you for uploading.
they make this look so easy
It was.
@@ashevilletrainman6989 not easy for beginners that are just starting model railroading
A person, yes it is, you just need to be patient and take your time.
Every summer I would get to stay with my Papa and Nana Goodrich in Hollister, California for two weeks! And when I was a teenager I stayed for two years! The steam train would roll by their house every day. I’d be on the Victorian house and wave at the conductor and engineer and they’d wave back. I miss those lazy summer days, I’ve loved trains ever since.
Some advice, if you are a kid at school into this hobby don’t let kids push you around
I be scared that they will laugh at me
Had no idea this video was Russian, check the description!
Yea I see it too
@@cooliotrainlover1213 I see Chinese wtf.
@Edwin Mintey NO SWEARS
Springlock gamer lmao “NO SWEARS” i think RUclips is full os swearing
Jens lol
Great video and thank you. I know I'll do all the work but I know my son will enjoy this as much as I do.
the most wholesome video on the internet
When I was a kid I had an HO scale train track I loved. As an adult I have no room for a lay out in my small home. So I'm taking a two by four that maxes out at 72 inches and making a diorama. I've already purchased a used ho scale steam engine ( Big B&O engine, all black ) and pulled the decals off it. I can't decide what coaches to put behind it, I'm going for an aesthetic not from any time period or even a historically accurate one.
Make it a track laying diorama.
A couple of flat beds with sleepers and a couple with tracks.
A bunch of chinese laying the tracks in front of the engine.
@@Traitorman..Proverbs26.11 I've actually seen such a diorama at a railway museum with a O Scale setup.
A good beginning tutorial for me. The builder made it look so easy when all the steps were broken down and made manageable. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Thanks for sharing.
Be nice of them to tell OR show the viewer HOW to set the electrical up for the tracks, where the wiring goes and how to make sure it is working... this was a Terrain Building video, not a beginners model video
Elephant gives me indigestion that's why I eat apples. But only one bite at a time
Hey that's Michael Gross! Tremors represent!
hell yea.lol
Subparanon ✅👍🏻👍🏻🎉
watch out Mike..there"s a giant worm behind you
When I was a kid, the Lionel Trans were the only thing in my life. Now all I can do is I watch the videos
I've dreamed of collecting them
I remember watching this when I bought this set! It was my first set, and I still have it ever since I was 4! Such memories!
Great to see you Mr Gross . Still love watching Family Ties . Good 👍 to see you again.
I don't have a damn clue how youtube took me here. And I am completely fascinated.
same
Very great and complete video about the different aspects of the hobby.
I followed the steps and ended up with a bird house.
zoltzer must be good looking bird house 😂
Next time get bird house plans and see if you end up with a railroad.
Lmao
Funny made me laugh
OMG these comments crack me up
Nice, this hobby is so great, thanks for sharing this🙏🏻🚂👋🌟👌😊
Am I the only one who watched this when they were really young, and is now returning to it?
Nope
Building train layout.
Good job my friend.
My layout is N scale.
Atlas and Bachmann tracks, code 80.
Manual and remote switch.
Good luck with you hobby.
Great video. And I realize it's for beginners. But I only wish they would have shown how to use cork roadbed instead of E-Z Track. That would be nice to learn right off the bat.
yeah
and maybe on lighting buildings and stuff
I have watched a few videos today and this is by far the WORST one for beginners!!! Even I knew more than this video shares before watching videos, YIKES!
HOW DARE YOU EZ TRACK IS THE BEST BECAUSE IT IS EASY TO PUT TOGETHER!
@@cooliotrainlover1213Kato Unitrack is better.
Their is something better than making model railway’s for standard gauge engines, it is making model railways with narrow gauge engines. 😉👌
Like, shows you from start to finished.
Helpful hint... while marking the foam for track, scenery, buildings, vehicles and people is very useful and helpful, I like to take photographs as well. Often objects are close to the same size or shape and can accidentally be misplaced. A picture is indeed worth a 1000 words.
This is so innocent. I love it.
that turorial was well done and very instructional. Makes me want to build another 4x8 sheet, but this time using the smaller grade below HO. I just thing you can put a lot more detail and track with a smaller scale train. I like the ease of working with the raises tracks, but I set up my tracks on the flat sections of track and simply nailed them down with very small crushed gravel supporting the trackway. On my set up I also utilized 8 switch tracks and about a total of eight track kill switches in order to stop the train at a dead end. I also built a nice trestled bridge about 20 " long, modeling the bridge after a real wooden trestle I saw in a photo, I weathered it as well. One of my trains entered and excited a mountain tunnel in a corner of the track, the tunnel took up the whole back of the board with a mountain built around it. My last feature was a small pond under the trestle next to it a workers hut with a small boat dock from it to into the water. I had a row boat tied up to the dock. It took me a long time to build the set and I got a kick out of weathering the engines and boxcars behind it. I'm fascinating by roundhouses so the next set up I built I want to include a working round house, working streetlights and functional crossings look cool as well. Nice job on this and nice job narrating Mr. Gross.
Excellent video. I used it to build the platform/table and very pleased with the outcome. One comment, the four 4' - 1/4" x 1 1/2" molding for the cross bars on the legs need to be much longer then 48". I bought 8' pieces and cut them down to about 65".
I'm sitting here with 4 - 48" pieces, seeing the same thing. 8' - 32" does not equal 48"
How did they get the dad from “family ties” to do this? Way cool! Adds even more nostalgia to this!
Guess he's really big into model railroading. Even has ownership in a train company
This is a good beginners video
Thank You very much, it's a very nice presentation. God Bless You.
Impressive.. I'm glad I'm part of this family. 🤩👍😇
If you want to transport a layout like this, wouldn't it make more sense to have the legs be folding and locking? Any modifications you might want to make to this layout would be a real pain in the butt though
Fantastic video full of great information to get started.
only thing i changed was the gravel plant. i used a lumber mill
My brother is crazy over train CRASHES so how do you save a layout from some one that runs down at you with a living bat and smacks every single thing he sees?
Well, you’ll have to have a serious conversation with him. Tell him this hobby is very special to you and it’s very expensive, and that he can’t crash. Letting him use it properly will make a branch of trust and he will learn to not be destructive.
Threaten his kneecaps
World's greatest hobby? More like world's most expensive Hobby. Guess that's what makes it so great!
Sadly, that's become true..... But it wasn't always that way. I'm LUCKY that I bought most of my Trains in the 70's and 80's. $25.00 got you a Premium Locomotive!!!
Today, it will BARELY get you a Freight Car. Sad.
Oh, How much would this cost over all today?, I was hoping to make my own model Railway
@@JamesPlaysJP a LOT more than when I started.... However there are several ways to start cheap. The Wood can be cheap, if you shop carefully. The Track can be cheap on EvilBay or Amazon... Or Swap Meets! There are always deals online for the Trains themselves, it just takes savvy.
The Scenery can be made very cheap!! Stay away from the Niche Products like Woodland Scenics. They're very good Products, but their convenience is expensive.
Haha EvilBay, Thanks for the Tips PoorMan, I’ll use your advice
Fuck you
His railroad workers waved at you. Mine shot at you with rock salt if you were close enough to wave at em. I miss the 80's.
I'm wanting to do this so I have a place to lay my old Monster trucks and Diecasts to rest. I don't want to throw them away or donate them. So putting them in something like this would make the most sense to me.
I find this video very helpful and slightly corny.
This video never seems to get old.
Yes it does.
@@dexterdog62 No it doesn't
@@Ih8kone yeah it does.
@@dexterdog62 No it does not
thanks for inspiring me to keep on railroading
I would've never guessed this guy was a rail roader. Just a side note. I bought a Bauchman steam locomotive train set. 9 cars and engine. It comes with the EZ Snap track. My engine kept derailing. The plow on the front of the locomotive was so low it kept catching the track where 2 pieces connected. I got rid of the E Z Track and just started using Atlas track. Problem solved.
Reminds me of my dad
Cool dad
I am enjoying the instructional video, however, the ad breaks are too frequent and rather distracting. I had to go back a few times because of a couple of seconds of lost video/audio after the breaks.
Greatest hobby there is. Thanks for the great ideas. Joe
thank you brothers for this info
Thank you for your very informative video.
2015? I was expecting to see 1975 in the date.
It was probably filmed a while ago and was just posted then
Hey, you guys . . . What about "S" scale? I don't mean American Flyer toy trains, but "Scale S," with prototypical size rail (most of the time code 100), and very accurate trackwork and equipment. We exist, you know, please make the effort to include mentioning "S" in your comparisons of different scales. (1:00:40).
shhhhhhh its no use to ask, this was done like over a decade ago- so shhh
I would had liked to place the tracks in different heights.... Like running the track over a hill, bridge or something like that
2020 anyone?
Ye sadly the end of the world is here and I can't do this
@HMS king George V Soon
Yup
Yep doing some research, me and my dad are going to build one. It used to be his hobby when he was young and he want's to start again so I said to him i'd help him.
me im here for 2020 even covid cant stop model railroading
What’s with the perverted smile when applying glue
Very fun video thanks!!!
Thanks!! I have had trouble getting my landscapes to look authentic!!
Great film I want to build another model,now
54:45 the worlds greatest hobby
When building the road, you said, "Mix up the 'Joint Compond' as per the directions." Did you actually use Joint Compound or was it a mix specifically designed for building model roads that came in the "Road Building Kit" that was stated to be used?Thanks for any help.Gene
Gene Wentzel I think it is smooth it from woodland scenics. They make the paving tape as well. They do have a road building kit for smaller builds but I would recommend buying a carton of smooth it and a role paving tape for larger projects.
R.I.P Dick Cecil. Great guy :(
Wait he died
@@alibokhari2155 Unfortunately yes.
Wow actor from Tremors doing the intro voice over 👍🏻😜
Thank you your video was very educational!!
Hobbies are meant to be enjoyed ... Build your layout for you. Like Frank Sinatra did it his way ... do yours your way ... whether a real place or imagined.
I had a nifty idea to have my table suspended from the roof, and it can be hoisted away when space is needed. Works good, but I am still having a hard time deciding what I want my permanent layout to be. >_
Love using E-Z Track From Bachmann Specally in N Scale.
Since I am a beginner and I’m following your 4x8 table. What do you suggest as scale, a O or S? Or other?
This is HO scale the most common and widely used scale in the USA
I wish the set was his "rec room" from the first Tremors movie.
And he would wear an Atlanta Falcons hat.
I always wonder how modelers deal with the long term problem of dust on their scenery. Mine was down the basement and I had mice on it in an older home!
They make machines that filter the dust out of a room. Obviously, a vacuum, dust buster, or a duster would work as well. However, there is a machine that helps get rid of dust in a room that is a stationary device
