One lap around my n-scale model train layout.

- UPDATE!! • Video ... check out a much better video of this layout which now includes LED lights!!
The layout is 4' x 7' with lots of elevation change. Special thanks to Ken Grimm in
Baltimore for making many of the highly detailed rocks.
Here are the "under construction" pictures: photos.app.goo...
Such an inspiration. For someone just starting on an N scale model, this is a wonderful guide to show how to do things right. I love the extensive treeline, and the subtle variations in colour shading throughout. Beautiful! :)
Thanks very much :) Best of luck on your model!
Scenery dominance is an attractive N feature.
I really liked the peek-a-boo way that the trains went in and out of the tunnels.😊
Thank you!!
incredible scenery, wonderful layout I watched this 3 times. I especially love the hobos catching a ride in the boxcar!
Thanks!! Appreciate your nice words
Could possibly have been Hobo Shoestring!
It has inspired me that elevated track creates the impression that the layout is a lot bigger than it is and the scenery is masterfully achieved. Very nice!
thanks! that was the idea... also when it's on the outside lower loop, it's like the train is "out in the country" away from the town and then it makes it's way back up and through the town :)
This is a brilliant track plan, beautifully executed, well done Anthony
thanks for your nice comment!
My grandparents bought a house that backed up to a Santa Fe line. When I visited, I’d watch the trains as they went by. Trains of all sizes bring back happy memories. Well done!
My dream is to live close to a train. Not close to a station... I think that would be too much activity haha. But to be able to at least see one from my house would be awesome.
Very cool layout
Thank you!!
Thatza nice! Very well done, everything is of interest!
Very very nice. A high action display layout with great details.
Thank you!! that was the goal
I thought my layout was coming along nicely. Then I saw this!! Makes mine look rubbish!!
Thanks, keep up the good work on yours!!
So nice to see a freight train highballing through an entire layout for once.
Hahah glad you appreciate the highballin! Lots of comments on here saying I have it running too fast :)
Wondrous! Instead of multiple separate loops--either with or without points of conjoinment via switches--you laid the track as one continuous stacked loop, with visual suggestion of a reversing loop. Brilliant!🙌
Yes sir :) that was the idea. Thanks for you nice comment.
This is so realistic that it has to be someone's obsession...And I could watch this run all day! Beautiful.
Thank you so much!! Yes obsession is a good word... and now I am obsessing over my new z-scale ;)
Jeff Brown In December This Layout will be covered with 400 pounds of baking soda ..... snow ❄️
That's a lot of bushes! Nice track plan, great use of space.
Thank you!!
This is a very impressive layout. It is extremely well planned and constructed to operate in such a limited space. My favorite on You Tube..
+Robert Williams Thank you for the nice comment, I appreciate it!
Very cool. Makes it appear much larger than it actually is. Good job!
The tunnels did it for me and the overall detail and scenery. Bravo!!
Thanks so much for your nice comment :) I think the tunnels add interest as well!
This was the most peaceful, amazing 2:29 of the day for me. Kinda feel down after the holidays, family reunion was nice to be around loved ones. So this video cheered me up.
Thanks for your comment I am glad the video gave you a smile. I was actually just watching a vid about Lionel in the post war time, and how model trains used to be an integral part of the "Ideal American Christmas". Hope you have a great 2020!!
Still an amazing layout! Thanks.
thanks so much :)
Beautiful layout
thank you!!
I think that was the most interesting model railroad I have seen yet. I would like to see a crane and some construction workers and a water tower.
Thanks for your comment! There actually is a yellow water tower that you can see at 1:30 and since filming this video I have added a few construction crews and a crane :)
Very well done.
Thank you!!
Superb ,just superb mate 😊👍🏻
thanks mate!
Amazing attention to detail and lovely scenery. The little spots where you can peek and catch brief glimpses of the train are really nice touches.
Thank you!! That was my goal :) Glad you like it!
This is why i love N Scale! You can do so much with so little space.
So much track and so many tunnels considering the size of the layout. Excellent work!
thank you!!
What a great Layout very well detailed you should be very pleased with the result. Cheers from North Queensland, Australia
thank you! I am happy with the result... but definitely have things I would change if starting from scratch again :) However, what project doesn't have that!?
Now that's a track layout that packs a punch! Well done.
Thank you I appreciate that!
This is amazing, reminds me of my beatnik days where I'd hop trains and write poetry.
Madeleine Salisbury Thanks for your comment! Glad I could help take you back to those drifter days.
Wow, gorgeous layout!!!!! Great track design, really dimensional, nice tunnels, and I love all the natural scenery and foliage.
thanks for your nice comment :)
Es realmente una muy bella obra de arte. Felicitaciones
Gracias amigo
That engineer isn't really getting anywhere. It's like Groundhog Day for him. So sad. :-(
Fun layout!
Haha no kidding. Round and round he goes, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after... you get it :) but ya, fun for me though :)
What a nice layout!
Thank you!!
Idk how I came across your channel but I stg you are my long lost twin brother.. guitar, dirt bikes, crotch rockets, snowmobiles.. and model railroading.. dawg we are the same person holy cow..
haha hell ya dawggie all the good stuff. keep on keepin on.
🇧🇷🚂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Congratulation for Layout Mr. Harris!!
I love the track route. Scenery is great!
Thank you very much
Wonderful layout. I like how you created many hidden views that can only be seen by exploring different viewing angles.
Thank you!! That was definitely the goal :)
Fantastic and with figures on the train what else can you say ...
what else can I say... except thanks ;)
Someone who obviously knows how to have fun with trains
indeed!! thanks for your comment :)
Fantastic Layout I love the weathering on your rolling stock . Great work
+John Hall Thank you!! some I weathered myself and some I purchased at shows from other modelers.
That is one beautiful layout
thank you!!
A very beautiful layout with awesome detail. I've always loved N scale layouts. There's so much more you can do with it. Maybe someday I'll have a place where I can once again indulge my childhood's number one hobby and build a layout like yours. Thanks for loading this video. Took me back many, many years to a simpler more happy time in my life.
Very impressive layout. Big shoutout for all the many hours you must have devoted to constructing it.
Hey big shoutout to you for your nice comment! :) I appreciate it
What a beautiful layout! Thanks for sharing.
and thank you for your comment :)
This is amazing! I love all of the tunnels, cross-overs and elevation changes. Much more interesting to me than a typical layout. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you for your nice comment! the goal was to make it interesting for viewers so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Some modelers like switch tracks and yards to make it more interactive... but I just want a cool mainline trackplan to watch. Cheers!
My thoughts exactly.
@@matt515o Check out my z-scale ruclips.net/video/0bSCXgofHeQ/видео.html and other n-scale ruclips.net/video/86Wf23KGMw0/видео.html when you have time :)
Great layout, with beautiful scenery. Thanks for the video 👍.
Thanks for the nice comment, glad you liked it!
Nice video! Greetings from Spokane WA
Beautiful work there, nice grading, NICE long run and LOVE the brief peek out back behind the town
thanks!! Glad you like the "brief peek" of the train behind the town :)
👍👌 Great layout.
Thank you
0:43 I did not see that coming.
Magnificent layout.
Thank you!! Ya I thought it would be cool to make it appear quickly right there at the base of the figure 8 :)
Enjoyed it, especially the hitchhikers that caught out a ride! Great job!
Thank you!
There are a few factors in diy railroad layouts. One resource I discovered which successfully combines these is the Jareks Hobby Club (google it if you're interested) it's the no.1 guide that I've heard of. Check out the interesting information .
Fantastic layout. love the evolving loops , great progression, but boy...she takes off on the way back down!
Excellent layout.
Nery nice, nice 'n green. Detailed to the brim. :) It looks very natrual. Layout is also very well thought out.
Thanks I want to make a new video actually because this was 4 years ago and its SOOO much more detailed now! Glad you feel it's "filled to the brim" here because it certainly is now. And yes this was very thought out, I learned from a previous project in which I didn't have a great overall plan haha.
Nicely balanced track - scenery layout. Fun to watch ! Thanks for sharing & happy railroading.
thank you for your nice comment!
Best video I’ve seen yet. You actually let us follow the train around the whole thing. Great layout and the details around it look amazing!
Thanks so much for your comment. Glad you enjoyed the "one take" video format :)
Fantastic. Very well done. Hard to believe it is only 4x7!
thanks that is the goal!!
Very nice. Especially like the intricate track design. Quite interesting. Great job..
Thanks. Intricate track design was the goal. Glad you appreciate it :)
Wow! Great scenery and level changes.
Thanks the level changes make it more dynamic I think
Awesome layout! As a runner, this one is incredible and I absolutely love the details. I personally go more for operations, but this is an amazing piece of work and that layout is brilliant! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your nice comment! Yes this is a "runner" as you say... with just one long mainline. I do envy layouts with the ability to do operations. Hopefully someday I can build a larger more permanent layout with a big yard and industries! Cheers :)
Excellent layout and video. I'm working on my first layout and this was very helpful in showing the progression of the work. Thanks!!
Very cool and really nice landscaping. Thanks for showing.
Outstanding layout! I could not take it all in the first time I watched your video, I had to watch more than once. Every time that I watch it, I see more of your detail work. The two people riding in the box car was cool idea. I am sure that there is more to see. I guess that I will have to watch it again.
+MWRR R Thank you!! I'm glad you think there's a lot of action in the small space. That was the goal :)
You have stepped up your game considerably since the Laguna layout. Nice job!
Thank you bro!
Nice lay out
thanks so much
Stunning. Great job.
Thank you!!
VERY nice, IMO. I love layouts with lots of tunnels and differing elevations.
Thanks! I do as well.
fantastic job
Absolutely brilliant.
thank you!!
Just fantastic.
Thank you!
Outstanding! love your track plan it just keeps going. nice modeling.
+Lester Carroll Thank you very much.
Nicest work I've seen yet!!!👍👍👍✌
Thank you!!
Most impressive!!
what a beautiful layout..loosing stress out ; cheers
hell ya dude thats the goal
helluva job bud
thanks dude!
I enjoyed that.
Thank you!!
A great layout! I like how you did the scenery , Very professional.
Thanks I'm glad you think that... I never learned to do nice pavement roads and so my whole layout has just brown dirt roads. I would someday like to do pavement in the downtown areas. That is what would make it really professional IMO. but thanks for your comment I really appreciate it.
AWESOME LAYOUT!!!!! Love that track plan. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
nscalefun thanks so much for the kind words!
Great layout thanks
Thank you!!
A very nice layout! Grrst work. Thank you for posting and inspiring. I would enjoy you zooming in on more of the fine detail work.
Thanks for your kind comment! I have done a lot more work on the layout and I want to soon post an updated video with better close-ups!
thanks!
very beautiful scene, love it.
Thank you!!
Jeff brown I agree!!! I was hoping for more videos........THIS IS SWEET!!!!
Well done I love it & My wife Love it Great Job Enjoy it Very Much
thanks so much glad you both enjoy it!
nice job
Thank you!!
This is such a beautiful layout Anthony, I love it!
Thank you!! I appreciate your comment :)
A twice around layout... maybe even a 3rd? Crazy! Makes me miss my old layout. I have a double track mainline now.. twice around single line with passing sidings is the layout you want! :)
Really cool track plan!
Thank you my friend I appreciate it
Absolutely beautiful layout. I have been searching RUclips for something I can do in o gauge I think I found it. It is said imitation of something is the sincerest form of flattery. Please feel flattered for I would like to use your track design or a reasonable facsimile there of that will fit in my new garage space of 10 x20 I just need to watch you video another 4 or 5 or 10 or 12 time to figure out the lay of the rails, my problem is I just want to get lost in the scenery each time I watch it. Be very proud of your work my friend for you have done an out standing job. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your nice comment!! I have had several people replicate the track design. I'm sorry I dont have any track plans I could give you... but here is a link to an album that has 2 good "under construction" pics where you can see the track plan without all the hills. s22.photobucket.com/user/tony41z71/library/model%20train?sort=3&page=1
I have just become a fan of your layout. I think your track plan is fabulous. I am a hi rail O gauge modeler. I just have to try this out myself. Great inspiration. Thank you
+Doug Broadhurst Thank you very much I appreciate it! I would LOVE to have the space to do O gauge someday. I viewed your layout video and it is spectacular. I really like all the people and lighted structures, that is my next step to do lights in the buildings. Thank you for the inspiration of your layout!
Wonderful layout!! Very inspirational, to say the least. I'd love to see a trackplan and try my hand at this!!!!
Thank you so much!! I don't have a formal track plan. Just kind of drew up some sketches of the layout and then went to work :)
Still watch this... Would love to see the track layout got to be some X crossovers somewhere..
But brilliant design.
Awesome , Thanks
Beautiful Job- very well done!
Thank you!!
beautifully created love it 👏
thank you!!
Amazing
Thank you!!
Hi, Anthony was sent here by Indian Head Valley RR.
Welcome!! :)
That's one VERY nice layout. I wish I could have seen the train running a lap or two before the mountains were built. Anyway, it's very inspirational. I would like to build a Christmas layout in 4 or 5 small sections that can be stored in the attic. I have no place to put a layout all year round. I would use pins to line up the modules and some type of plug to connect the electrics.
Again, Awesome layout. Please video any updates you do to it. Thanks.
Hey dude that's totally do-able. Modular guys hook many pieces together you just use a 6" connector piece. Good luck!!
@Will Phelps head over to T-TRAK.org and you will find yourself a very good modular system that can use as little as six small modules to go wound a Christmas Tree. Also, you should check out the Wiki at ttrak.wikidot.com/
Good luck with your dream, hope it comes through for you.
Great Layout! You've done a great job!
+Bob Ross Thank you!
Amazing!
thank you!!
Very rural. Well done.
