Fleischmann N Gauge Folding Layout

[@mikewbrantley]

Wow, very nice. I realize I am finding this video five years after it was uploaded, but this is the best thing I've seen on the Internet all year. Very clever and well executed. Would love to know the make and model on the folding table that was used.

[@danielchatfield8476]

Thank you for all the comments, please appreciate the video was uploaded 4 years ago and the layout has been finished with platforms, station, and engine shed along with grass and trees etc for a while now. I built it for my granchildren to play with rather than play with an x box or ipad or my other layouts:)

AWESOME!!!!! I really enjoyed the way it folded out and the track is connected. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

[@barbatloosenutproductions2027]

O.M.G! That is so cool!🤩 A portable train set!🚂 Of course, a traveling case packed with a few buildings🏘 & other goodies 🚗🌳would be the icing on the cake!🎂 Take care luv! Happy railroading!🛤👍

[@chilla18sgsg]

It seems like it is one of those folding/potable table with the legs take out and a small hole drill at the side for electrical supply. But a good idea will try finding the table. Thanks for the brilliant idea.

[@jimhagan697]

Please let me know how I can make or buy this thank you again great idea . Jim

[@d.e.b.b5788]

very nice idea, Daniel! Now you need some pop up scenery that can flatten out.

[@brokenplanet7948]

Not a train set fan but gotta appreciate that it’s pretty cool 😎

[@TheFlightLevel]

Fantastic! Memories of my train days!

[@SKJNORGE]

I found a table online. A camping store lets you inspect it before you buy it.
I am guessing the layout, on the inside, is actually recessed a bit so there is room for the tracks when closed. It appears he has a power source he plugs in that runs the 4 individual cabs. Again, I am guessing each individual cab is wired to each half of the layout.
Brilliant job Daniel. I hope I came close in my guess. That’s how I would approach my own version!!! I have grandchildren that are train enthusiast as well!

I think that's what I need. I have a ton of Kato unitrack but hate the right radiuses.

[@francoislabbe7751]

Well done! How did you work out how the 2 halves of the layout connect electrically and physically at the hinge when the case is opened?

[@robertcornelius3514]

Dan, "I will be playing with this setup for months!"
Wife, "Honey, the kids are coming over for dinner and I need the table cleared off."
Dan, "Crap."

[@SuperRickenbacker]

Did you make this or can you buy them pre-made? Looks awesome.

[@ewoodrailway]

Brilliant set up and very portable

[@mylittletrainbc909]

Wow! thats a very smart idea, good job...thanks for sharing

[@glennmsparks]

Find an Origami friend to fold you some folding pop out buildings and scenery. Nice job.

[@wolfgangd.1289]

Where can i buy this Case, thats a very good Idee.

[@davidarmstrong7903]

Beautiful Setup Daniel. Would you be so kind as to offer some tips for this setup, such as the table size and how you seamlessly handled the track joints when the table folded and unfolded? Would be very much appreciated. Thanks

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Fantastic very innovative.

[@hhc19avn]

Daniel, I go along with dpb018. If you decide to go into production, I'll order the second unit after him/her. In the meantime, could you do another video showing how you built this, what materials were used, etc? Are there any plans or diagrams available?

[@15scale]

You need a plastic rerailer to put them on the track. Very nice, very cool!!

[@raymondswarmer1433]

Because N gauge is so small it’s hard to see the wheels to put them on the rails by hand.

[@CT9905.]

Daniel how did you manage to fold the track with causing damage to them?

[@FlyboythaACE]

Awe man this is soooooooo dope the kids took my basement and I really want to run trains every so often

[@spassantechnik]

Great system. But it looks better when the trains run more slowly 😉

[@bryansalva8944]

My dad was just talking about doing something like this. This is sick!

[@PUBHEAD1]

That is just to slick of a set up. Just needs some inflatable mountains and you are set

[@davidpowley8336]

HI Daniel Love your set up and would like to know did you buy the case or make it yourself.. thanks

[@davidblack3396]

Looks good but it be much better looking if it had some Scenic on it,,, like magnetic trees you could stick on, take off as with houses, vehicles etc,, then it be stunning 👍

[@jxxgames]

Where can I get this? Also, does it work with Bachmann Thomas N scale trains?

[@ricardojuricic9027]

Great idea!
Seems DC, isn't it?
But would be cooler if it moved at lower speeds, specially the 3rd one since its on yard/station tracks.
Sorry when a kid I used to speed them around like you. 🤔 It's more of a toy...
Later on I came to appreciate lower speeds and see the springs of the axels of locos & cars moving up & down as the train passed over switches.
🤗 And shunting at slow motion.
Great job you've done!!
I notice many nice comments.
Cheers
Richard

How much did this cost and how do the rails close flat in a case?

It's scratch built Matthew, the rails don't move they just meet in the middle when it opens out.

There are several tips for building a railroad layout yourself
Find a proven set of plans online
Find a mate who wants to build one too so you have someone to encourage you
