I spent the last two weeks scratch building my largest diorama project yet! This HO scale mountain toy train layout is twice as big as my desert canyon railroad layout and cost around $1200 to make. I may make some additions to the layout like monsters or structures, but for now, I’m pretty happy with the beauty of the Rocky Mountain landscape.
Speaking of landscapes, check out my new WIW merch designed by my friend, @9-Times! crowdmade.com/collections/boy...
All my craft foliage and scale plants are from Woodland Scenics and Diorama Presepe
I learned about plaster cloth watching @RealTerrainHobbies

It's nice to see how much better he's gotten over the years
Agreed, though he was already amazing at the start!
went from really good to amazing
Thinking the same thing. Always enjoyable content that keeps getting better
Or how much more creative and outgoing
His presentation skills keep getting better too. Even without the hobby stuff it's just generally entertaining.
Man dude I gotta say your train builds are my absolute favorites to watch, the size and scale is so commendable
Agreed you are a legend finally someone else who agrees with me
Big n beautiful build, Boylei
let me fix those 0 replies

Omg is that Mr horseshoe man!??!?!?!!!
Stupidly stupendous, studson
ill help too horseshoe man
I’m a school teacher in Glenwood; I love sharing your videos with my students. We often have diorama projects to go with essays or research projects and I use your videos as inspiration with the kids on process and details. Would love to have you do a workshop with my students some day if you ever have the urge to visit the West Slope.
Glenwood springs?
You could also do a virtual workshop with him! Ofc if he wants XD, makes things a lil easier to achieve and still fun!
I don’t know why, but the “if you’re wondering why I didn’t add any track bed to this section right here…. It’s because of the large gap” made me burst out laughing 😂
Every second of this was mesmerising. I learnt so much
Hi Chris
It'd be cool to see your take on it Chis! Maybe with some OO scale British loco's. You could do a fictional line over the Cliffs of Dover, or maybe in the beautiful scenery of the lake district.
yooo, I looove you videos! :D never thought I’d see you here :)
I think he’s brilliant 🤩
Woah! Wasn’t expecting to see you here! Makes sense though.
Not only is the build amazing, the humour is very much on point!
Oliver! 😊
Yes, but I have to wonder about his dentist...
We making it out of the dentist office with this one
When Boylei posts a video, I make sure to like, comment and share, which is a tip I learned from my dentist
Wow, more big builds please! This was a blast to watch come together.
The mountian reminds me of lookout mountain in colorado, and that seemed to be a good idea since you have a weapon off train. So your lookouts can tell the train where the enemy is coming and they can destroy everyone on their train track below the “lookout”
perhaps I;m thinking of a different lookout mountain in colorado but the one i know is where Buffalo bill is supposedly buried... much flatter and not high enough for summer/fall snow
Nerd. Don't overthink the build, dude.
It is flatter this is look out mountain 2.0
@@user-ue2jq8uf6xwhy be rude about it?
@@user-ue2jq8uf6xIdiot. Try thinking about the build, dude.
This is so gorgeously atmospheric. As a train nerd, your train builds make me happy.
Ahhh... I used to live in Colorado, so every time you do one of these builds, I always miss it. This turned out absolutely fantastic, all the fall foliage with the snow and the color of the water are just so visually pleasing together. And the lighting really complimented it as well, beautiful as always!
Looks great, shame the triple loop didn't work out but the trestle supported section makes this look really cool! Do you have a P.O. Box or similar where people can send you stuff?
I was definitely going to say, that looks like HO scale and there’s NO was that was going to work.
As much as I LOVE your wild west builds, my heart lies in the mountains so I think this is my favorite build of yours yet.
This is awesome and inspiring, Boylei! Great build.
I would love to see a diorama of a outlaw gang blowing up a bridge with a train heading towards it in a similar setting.
I absolutkey love seeing more of the mountain builds. It reminds me of the front range of colorado and it kind of has a homey feel to it. Your tressel at the end also reminds of the george town railway loop. Due to how it is a downward sloping gradient and it turns which georgetown was the first in the world to build. Amazing job as always.
Yes! I just went on the George Town Loop and it looks just like it.
It's always a treat when Boylei releases a new video, it's always a fun and relaxing watch. I've started painting miniatures again thanks to the inspiration from all the amazing dioramas.
The scale of this project is incredibly impressive! The forced perspective with the mountain works so well
Very much love the color scheme and the fall vibe.
Spectacular! My son and I have an O scale layout that is 6 x 11 that I have “landscaped” over the years. Really appreciate your innate talent and meticulous detail. Thanks for sharing!
Truly splendid. What I wouldn't give to have a tour of all your projects in person.
I absolutely love all your dioramas, and this one has to be one of my favorites! The train and the landscape looks so awesome together! Thank you for all the work you do to make these awsome videos!
Man, Sundays are quickly becoming my favorite day of the week
Kudos to you for attempting the triple, double-loop underpass. But, I’m glad you double, triple-checked so you didn’t end up with another tripped-up, double take. Instead, the nestled river overpass trestle allowed for double, even triple the enjoyment with every single glorious double pass.
It looks so awesome! Idk why but made me want to see you make a fair ground with a wooden rollercoaster. If only there were moving coaster tracks🤔
This is an amazing diorama, honestly, you have great skills and you should keep up the work and effort, well done!
Boylei needs to make a freaking mini museum exhibit for his Wild Imaginary West
This is the gateway drug to those absolutely amazing ultra realistic full-room-size model train layouts.
Love your stuff man!! The train vids and starwars dioramas are my favorite
you must now make a third, even bigger train diorama so you can include the "fun layout" lol
You are the first comment
Looks awesome. Next time paint the track in a brownish/rusty color. It makes the track look more realistic.
My Sundays are instantly better when Boylei uploads.
The amount of hours I have watched you build dioramas knowing full well I will never in my life build one is staggering.
That's definitely one of the higher 14's. Beautiful!
I really hope that Boylei connects every imaginary Wild West build together to make one HUMUNGOUS imaginary Wild West diorama. Absolutely amazing build btw!!!
That is simply amazing and beautiful
THE SAGA CONTINUES
This guy will really take the most basic model train set and the. It into a legit work of art
My kids and I love these train and larger terrain builds. 💪🏽 Found my four-year-old elbow-deep in kinetic sand and chopsticks the other day, murmuring to himself about carving styrofoam and digging tunnels through mountains for his trains. You’ve started something in that little brain!
Wow that forced perspective REALLY works
Can we all stop and just marvel at this mountain?! Awesome job.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen forced perspective that good on a model ever
THIS IS MY FAVORITE BUILD SO FAR!!!
You’re pretty much the only channel for this hobby that I watch because I like your personality the best- and you don’t swear. Thank you
Marvellous stuff! This came together beautifully, the colour gradient especially coming down from the cap to the warm mid tones for the scenery and then to darker blues for the lake just looks so great. Really good job!
You make this look easy but it truly and really isn't at all.
Beautiful work and the comedy is a nice touch to the video.
Enjoyed this, thank you.
Awesome job! Thanks for all the amazing videos.
Oh my god! I never thought I'd see the day! -a good design on merch that isn't offensively shouting the channel.
No joke, I'm pretty sure this is the best merch I've seen someone sell, it's actually wearable and won't get you beat up.
i love trains and mountain dioramas and the music was perfect
I really love trains, and it’s amazing to see what you can do! The detail and precision put into these layouts are spectacular!
This is a beautiful piece! Should put some big monsters in there for the train to hunt.
The frost shredded wheat comparison was as perfect as this diorama. Absolute beautiful masterpiece.
Watching this in my train room surrounded by my layout that I am building.
Ballasting tip: One of the best things you can use for ballasting is a 1" foam brush. It is the perfect size for removing ballast from the rails and ties, and the beveled edge is perfect for the ballast slope.
This looks so good it’s ridiculous. The mountain top really looks further away, the colors are beautiful. Congratulations!
You’ve gotten so good at this over the years! The forced perspective look you were aiming for really sells! Great job!
you made me survive my lock down in 2021 and rediscover my passion for miniatures, i´m so thankful for that.
keep up the amazing work.
i just cant say how much he has inspired me. when i watched his videos i just felt like this is something that i would love to do and i have made 20 small dioramas sense then. i just cant explain my gratitude for what he does and if i could wish for anything it would be to talk to him and get to now him better.
I love the relatively quick video with concise details on the progress of this feat of a project. Lovely scene!
I like trains-
Hope you'll do more star wars Gundam and trains diorama, those are my favorites.
It looks like a bob ross painting come to life and i, for one, am here for it
Absolutely gorgeous even half way through video. Just amazing watching you create life like scenes from nothing.
Like that you choose autumn as the season. The most beautiful time of the year.
🍂🍂
This is awesome. Train builds are always the best. This guy is a comedian and I can't tell if he is trying too hard or if he is just a little bit funny for no reason.
Hello "Boylei Hobby Time"! Thank you for showing us such a wonderful video! I feel so happy! I'm looking forward to your next work! Have a nice day!
Wow! It’s amazing! Thank you to share with us!
HOLY SMOKES!!!!!! Seeing larger work from you is such a treat!!
As a suggestion for next time, could you do a fishing trip where the folks on the lake finally land "The Big One"? Im really curious to see what a massive lake fish looks like in the Imaginary Wild West.
I'm staggered by that bridge! That thing looks like it would hold some actual weight. Well done!
Epic! Good luck on moving that behemoth!
Looks SO awesome....but I was watching this one like that meme with Padme and Anakin... "Boylei, you are going to split that thing in half, so it can fit through the door, right?.....right?" 6:50 ... ahhhhhhh!
Fantastic model and v well documented and presented
my dad has been making scale model train dioramas since i was a kid and i recently found out that he watches your videos too! it’s very late here but i’m sure he will really like this one when he watches it in the morning :D
I love your videos, man. I'm not a diorama person myself mainly due to not having any space for a workshop. These videos have excellent story-telling and the fact that you explain the processes with some humour and character really is soothing to listen to. I really hope you are doing well in this world, whether it be your social life or your well-being, you really deserve to be a happy person as these dioramas and hobby builds truly are something.
I don't normally subscribe to people on RUclips, but you sir are one of the few things that actually entertain me with interest and gratification. For this, I am subscribing to your channel as a way to say thank you for these motivating works.
That forced perspective ended up working *really* well! It looks pretty epic. Nice one.
This is so beautiful! You've captured Colorado in the autumn in the most perfect way, thanks for your wonderful videos!
That blue treatment at the top of the mountain is chef's kiss level! Love how this turned out. Great work and God bless, my friend.
This is the best Thumbnail I’ve ever seen in my entire life
Looks beautiful, now we just need more people on that train and maybe a monster by that tunnel looking for a quick snack
Just found this video, and was blown away at your construction!!! I could sure use this tutorial in my adventures of mountain and tunnel building. This kindergartener just met her college brother! Thank you!!
Baffled by how huge this is and how you've nailed every single aspect. The snow on top looks amazing, the color transition in the foliage is genius, and a perfect resin lake. Truly a culmination of skill
I recently built my first diorama and I had so much fun doing it. I never thought I could build one until I watched your videos. Thank you for inspiring me.
If you were to take a still photo shot of this, it looks like something you'd see in a landscape painting, particularly the color schemes of the mountain top down to the foliage. Great work!
I love these train videos reminds me of my old layout
Looks amazing over all, just wish the water had gotten more attention. 9/10 from me. Bravo 👏
This is insanely good, I've never seen something so well crafted! This was inspiring for me, so much that my dad and I are trying to make a mountain on our O gauge layout. Thank you for the inspiration!
All the trees remind me of Aspen! It's a beautiful town in the fall
As always, a great video. Cant wait for you next weird west project.
“That’s because of the large gap…”. THE most brilliant way to say shut up and see! 😂
Reminded me of the build in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.😂😂😂 Excellent stuff 👏
This is honelty the best one so far!
Always starting my week off on the right foot with hobby time. Thank you sir.
It’s amazing, I would have loved some wildlife could have looked cool
This layout was absolutely beautiful, it looks incredible! I wish I was this good at modeling
Maaaaan id LOVE to have something like that for my home.....id display it in my living room for everyone to see! That is awesome!
You make this build so amazing that I cannot tak my eyes off it. Such talent and skill 😊😊
Awesome work once again! I love how the top of the mountain looks; your forced perspective painting techniques really did the trick.
Amazing and beautiful diorama as always. I must say I do enjoy watching how you bring all of this to life, but my favourite thing is your narration, I found it pretty calming, soothing yet fun, so I am always looking forward for the next video.
Love the build, would love to see another video where you add a cool monster to it hiding on the bridge, maybe a troll
This is absolutely beautiful. Very well done.
You call it "good." I call it excellent! I can't wait to see your follow-up additions of monsters, structures, and figures to fill out your simple (but very effective) landscape in future videos. That said, it is too bad that you were not able to use as much track as you initially wanted to use.
I don't have the room for a full-on 8' X 4' model railroad layout, but doing something with electric trains was always on my "Bucket List." This 'diorama' approach just might be the solution for me.
As always, thanks for sharing this with us!
That's awesome! Your perspective tricks worked beautifully. The mountain looks enormous!
Boylei is the GOAT
