Looks like a very fun project and it's coming along beautifully, I do enjoy watching your videos when you construct a new project 👍👍
Thanks for the On30 update Steve, Your idea of carving the mine base area out of the scenery reminded me of an ancient MR mag article from back in the 60's maybe. The builder had the same idea but went a bit further. He created all of his base scenery and then started carving out the roadbed and then hand laying his track. This was in HO. Not a whole lot of photos and my impression was he hadn't got very far. Seemed crazy at the time and highly risky of not having a running railroad when he got done.
Anyway I like your idea of doing it for some structures.
Good job in the On30 scale layout.
I like the idea of working the H0 landscape the way you would the real landscape. I've never thought of it, but it does make sense.
It’s an O Scale with Ho gauge ( the widths between the rails )
Oops sorry 😞
@@JasperKloek it’s very confusing I just learned a year or so ago and I’ve been in the hobby for about 4 years
Small layout but big fun. Looking good so far. See you next time looking forward to a big tree build.
GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
Great video and nice job on this layout! I always enjoy seeing how your mountains etc will turn out. I know you've got little details to add but what you have now looks very nice! Thanks again Steve for sharing another great video with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort my friend! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.
Coming along great Steve
Neat build!
Nice work on this layout so far. I look forward to seeing it finished
You are always giving us “ inside tips” to make our layout better and more enjoyable to build and run.
Thanks again
What a lovely little layout!
Fun little project. I like it. I need to build something like this to get back into the hobby
I like small layout projects like this because you see progress quickly, you complete them quickly if you want, they don’t take up much space, and you don’t have to spend much on them. Plus, just super fun and nice to be able to do most of the work at a desk.
Very cool, 👍🏻
I love it
That's coming out incredibly well! I myself like the idea of modeling the scene and then cutting it to fit whatever needs to go in there. I am curious why use Sculptamold and not "Ground Goop" where you add in a little paint, glue, and vermiculite to have a pre-tinted base coat? That's my personal go-to for scenery.
I’ve done that at times. It seems to take longer to dry though (probably just user error in making it too wet) and when it is super humid like this time of year it is hard to get it dry in a couple of days. Also, I just didn’t have much brown paint left and no vermiculite left. But I’ll definitely use that technique again on some projects in the future since it does work well.
@@StevesTrains That makes a lot of sense on the dry time part with humidity, and the lack of vermiculite. I can't wait to see how the layout comes out overall with the trees, building, etc!
The ground goop does work better with O scale than n scale certainly. Maybe I’ll use it with my o gauge switching layout I’ll be starting soon.
@@StevesTrains you know what would be interesting would be comparing the two for cost, time, and ease of use and going from there?
Yeah, that would make for a good video, comparing several ground cover bases or whatever you want to call it. Some of course overlap (literally) and that you might use one on top of the other instead of either/or but in general that would be a good video. I’ll add it to the list.
Where do you source your engines and cars? Great tutorial and fun to watch.
I borrowed these for the moment. I usually just buy from whatever store has them for the lowest price. I’ll buy some things used as well occasionally (train shows, etc). If you go to my website (link in description) I have a resources page and a bunch of my go-to online stores at the bottom of the page.
Great project Steve, what is the loco you’re using?
That's a discontinued Bachmann On30 Davenport. They can still be found, although some go for exorbitant sums of money. Do note some of them can have issues with the drive gears cracking in storage and that can cause jerky running.
When are you coming out with a HO layout ?
I’ve done two or three on the channel, but not for a few years. I won’t have any this year.
