Model Railroad Fashionable Furniture

One thing we can learn from David Barrow's layout is that a finished and inviting environment hosting the trains is even more important than scenery itself. Join me in this video as I turn a lump of timber into a welcoming switching layout.

I’m putting this as a commemorative plaque to mark my official first RUclips comment.
Thanks for the kind words!

@@SouthDown Keep it up. Your editing did not go unnoticed. I also appreciate David Barrows' and Lance Mindheim's views on cleanliness and function. I have another RUclips channel for other hobbies (this is my MRR/ham radio/B.S. account) and finding that crisp balance is no easy task...but my dude this is a gem for sure. Camera, editing, audio and lighting did NOT go unappreciated. You are bringing some LEGIT content regarding shelf layout design and aesthetics that is under represented on YT. Seriously...keep it up!
Currently designing another shelf layout and this is inspiration.
The algorithm is a b***h but this is quality content.

Really good points mentioned in this video. After watching all of your videos this morning all I can say is great job, I hit subscribe as I want to see how you and your layout come along. Cheers

It is an honour and a pleasure to be followed by you, Don. Incidentally I've placed an order for a handful of kits which I think will work well with the space I have. I'm looking forward in making all the mistakes!

Love the CN sign .⚪🔴

[@SouthDown]

Thank you! My layout is inspired by British modellers and they always put the layout’s name on a plate as a centrepiece. It’s a fun little addition and adds a bit of character. Appreciate your feedback!

You did a fantastic job, like the sign

[@SouthDown]

Thank you, Sir! Inspired by British exhibition layouts and of course by my rockstar @MoG who I stalk.
