MTH Realtrax | Elevated Track with Custom Risers! MAJOR Layout Update

[@TomzTrainzandAccessories]

With the limited space you have upstairs, you created a simplistic layout that allows you to use anything you want ie: Prewar, Postwar, Modern, or TMCC1 or TMCC2 Legacy. It suits all different kinds of trains. There’s nothing better. Great Job Nick!

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! Thanks for your help! Everything is working great!

[@JamieMakin]

The upper loop looks great! It gives the whole layout so much more depth and visual interest. Having a simple loop is good because you can just set a train to run and not have to worry about it much. Nicely done, and I look forward to the scenery tutorials.

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! I can’t wait to get started on the scenery 😬

[@JamieMakin]

@@NixCrossing now that I've got my overhead lighting installed, I can't wait to start working on mine. Helps to be able to see what I'm doing lol.

[@markcornman4150]

Very impressed Nick! i am currently in the panning stages of my layout and always look to you for the information I'll need. I have prewar flyer and postwar & modern Lionel. i want two levels so i can run conventional and legacy. i think a simple oval won't complicate the layout as much now as i was planning a dog bone on top. Keep up the great work, your layout looks fantastic!

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words! Layouts are never truly finished haha. That’s Awesome! This is just a simple fix until I build an entirely new layout in the future.

[@franciscoppola7368]

Looks great Nick! I just added a Viaduct to my layout and it was challenging! I also used 1&1/4 inch dowling for my stantions and they worked out great.

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! That’s awesome! The power of the dowel! Highly impressed with the strength of this loop 🚂💨

[@therosejewelrailroad489]

Those pillars do look like concrete. Thanks for sharing.

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much for watching! 🚂💨

[@johnschimmel2607]

Looks awesome. I like that platform in back for a station etc

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! Can’t wait to get started on the scenery 🚂💨

[@johnsterling7420]

The top track looks good Nick, you can't go beyond your limitations .When you do takei it from me you will have problems.,👍🏻👌🏻🇺🇸😇

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much for watching! Exactly right!

[@williamsantangelo]

Hi Nick you should really try to bridge plywood or the like between your peirs plus a few more screws In custom cut ply supports on your weak spots!!! Sort of a profile type bridge!! Be Well happy RRing!

[@NixCrossing]

That’s not a bad suggestion, possibly in the near future. It’s extremely strong.

[@dagryffynhobby]

I love a nice simple loop without switches, just pure train running fun. I like how you did the supports too. Nice update 👍

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! 😬

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks!

[@coverdalemineoscalemodelrr7074]

Upper deck looks good every model railroad must have a tunnel and bridge

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! 🚂💨 definitely agree with you on that!

[@peterrothwell1116]

Love the upper loop great job I want too do a upper loop when I build my layout and this helps greatly thanks for sharing it looks great

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! Always love giving you guys ideas

[@chiconian49]

Looking good. It took me months to plan a layout that I was happy with.

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! Today understand that, love your layout and all the great pieces / accessories 🚂💨

[@FordEnthusiast413]

Hey Nick. Great video! Having a loop with out any switches is a great idea! Nice and simple works best. Are you powering the loop with the same source as the line going through town? Or is it on a different block? Great job on hiding the wires!!

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! The loop is on a separate power supply with its own TPC unit, but all its working with the remote 🚂💨 I used a lock-on up top to be used as a power indicator 😬👍🏻

[@Nathan5Chime]

I think you made a good choice to not make the upper level to large. Looks like it fits in nicely.

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much! 🚂💨

[@johnsaxon7029]

Looking good Nick We would all like to have a elaborate second level, but like another commentor said it usually causes trouble, When you get it all decked out it's gonna look great.

[@NixCrossing]

Thanks so much for watching! 🚂💨 I love the simplicity of this loop

[@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars]

Hi Nic it looks good and you can always add switches later so you have a great start.

[@NixCrossing]

The upper level looks awesome Nick! I’m surprised it is able to hold that heavy train and hot have it tip over. Keep up the great work👍
