Realism Modeled Easy - Large HO Train Layout Build - Ep 13

[@RandallHicks-xv8sf]

Love the training....and love the blues music in the background. Perfect, I think, for trail yards in my day (1956). Blues and trains always were the sounds in my Ozark area.

[@MidtownSun]

I like that your videos are approachable and easy to follow, yet still yield great results in the end. Enjoyable to watch - thanks for the effort you put into these productions.

[@TopRailroad]

Much appreciated!

[@nigelthornberry8120]

Dude. I love your idea of getting stuff from your backyard.

[@maxwilson7001]

Ah the beauty of RUclips Music Library. I used the same song you used for the putto for a school project of mine. It was funny hearing it haha

[@SD45-ET44AC]

You could put a person flying their drone next to the yard; suspend a drone from the ceiling with wire. That would give your layout something special and challenging and really cool.

[@TopRailroad]

That’s a cool idea! I’ll definitely need some kind of rail fans somewhere

[@Aberdude8]

"A little goes a long way." I love it man! Keep it up! I'm going to the train shop tomorrow in Westminster CA. 😉👍😺🚂

[@TopRailroad]

Thanks! Train store visits are the best visits. Especially when you buy stuff 😂👍🏼

[@Aberdude8]

@@TopRailroad I hope they have a good bargain or three. 😉 Gas prices are crazy out here!😬

[@thomasmaster5603]

Digging the double brushing. The layout is looking great.

[@BNSF1458]

Good episode! Got some good stuff done. The tiny details do tend to be repetitive, its all worth it in the end though. Can't wait for next week!

[@TopRailroad]

Thanks as always man!

[@manshedrailroad]

Nice job! That nice grass kind of makes you want to roll around in it.

[@TopRailroad]

I know! Makes me happy that summer is coming soon 😁

[@gacj2010]

Oh man ...you are so good at this .. Its going to be beautiful .. Its so nice of you to share all these techniques with us ...This is so great ..

[@deputydog73]

Great work. Enjoying your layout. Not huge or super fancy, like a lot of folks, like myself, have to model.

[@TopRailroad]

Thank you!

[@hadishd-fr3wh]

dang! That is some detail right there.

[@brettachey3574]

It was good video between the tree and the train station there's a small little building there I can see some his banded railroad ties and some railroad tracks something what looks like it's been rusted for years I can see something just in that smaller little space

[@TopRailroad]

I do like that idea I may have to pickup a kit soon 😁

[@davidparker4028]

Hey mate great job the tree and grass section cane up a treat the yard with the ballast looks cool👍. I moved my telegraph poles to a 1foot spaceing after your last video looks heaps better more uniform. Good tip👍👍🙂.

[@jaymewilliams9618]

I've taken your course and added a lot more to it

[@davestrains6816]

Looking awesome!

[@Stussmeister]

A very nice video and layout. I have plans to expand my own HO scale layout, yet am still admittedly a novice when it comes to model railroading.

[@TopRailroad]

Thank you! That’s perfectly fine, you’ll learn faster then you think 👍🏼

[@d-rail7271]

It's been hard keeping stuff in stock the last couple years but that's a sad looking track section at that store

[@MrJack-uk2hp]

Wow! You did a great job on this video! Keep up the good work!

[@ironhorsehistorian9871]

I do n scale but I’m still taking mental notes so I do it well.

[@tudu237]

Your progress is amazing !

[@TopRailroad]

Thank you! 😁

[@Skipjack2012]

Very cool

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Great video mate. Your doing really well so keep it up. Oh great running session at the start too! enjoyed that. - Nicholas.

[@noodlesyt4140]

Great job layouts lookin good so far

[@TopRailroad]

Thank you!

[@jacobycurry27]

6:56 I know you already deconstructed this layout but maybe on the new one you could add some railfans

[@codyrapp7253]

Nice

When do you think you will get your next locomotive? And what will it be?

[@shawnpowell5876]

Great video TR and the spot you used static grass worked perfect along w the tree! I also like the 2 telephone poles in front of train station. What color was it you painted your track with? I want to spray mine but not sure what color yet. Thanks again for sharing your videos and look fwd to seeing the next one.

[@TopRailroad]

Appreciate it as always! The paint for some reason doesn’t have a actually color name but it’s Rustoleoms camo paint line and it’s the dark dark brown color, hope that helps!

[@Eclipse1988]

Is that static grass applicator sold at the train store? That thing did some good work! Better than when i was a little kid like (7ish) and i decided i wanted grass so i stole my dads parsley container out of the kitchen and started sprinkling that all over the place... he wasn't happy lol.

[@TopRailroad]

I think I got it online. eBay or something. But that’s hilarious, you always use funny things for your model railroad as a kid

[@Eclipse1988]

@TopRailroad lol not for nothing, it was leafy and natural 🤣 😂 😆

[@DaveTuohy]

Nice work. What is the make of that static grass applicator with the 4 legged base? Or is that 4 legged base seperate?

[@TopRailroad]

It’s the Woodland Scenics one and the little 4 legged base comes with it

[@gacj2010]

Do you see any French elements of influence in Morocco today ?

[@TopRailroad]

I have not

[@jaymewilliams9618]

Im in your area see you around and maybe talk

[@jaymewilliams9618]

[@studem5862]

Hi, I'm new to this, which is what you apply at 2:40 and the powder at 3:05

[@TopRailroad]

The paint I applied was Territorial Beige matte acrylic paint that I get I Walmart. The powder is a mixture of real dirt sifted from my backyard and a light tan grout mix. I also baked the dirt before using it, hope this helps!
