    New N-Scale Layout — Need suggestions / Advice

    Hey — Sorry for any confusion; I posted the video to my personal YouTube account as a place to store it to share and be watched here. I wasn't initially aiming to get followers or subs — though I do think adding it to a model railway-specific channel makes sense. I think doing an updated...

    Hey all — I've finally had some more inspiration and have started on some scenery. I planned to do a polished video, but realized that was a pipe dream, and I'd never get to it. So, this evening I decided to just record a quick video for you all and share it. It's pretty long — so, apologies...

    Hey all — Just another little update. As with things modeling, it's hard to focus. I've found it difficult to stick to one thing and end up getting overwhelmed. Anyways, based on my last layout, I rushed into the scenery (which is my favorite part) and completely missed the whole operations...

    Hey Ron (and all) — It's been a little while, in typical life — things got in the way. I also purchased a 3D Printer, which has been a game-changer in my ability to create/explore on the fly. It's also given me the ability to not focus on a single area of the layout and jump around, and not...

    Hey Ron — Firstly my son Oscar is now coming up on his 3rd Birthday, so he's growing up! For the software, I use RailModeller Pro. I got the free version but I think there were limitations in size. For me, I used it as a great starting reference point, especially when using Kato (it has all the...

    Nate’s N scale layout

    Looks awesome — where did you get your loco from? (and did you have to send back the defective one?)

    Continuation from the upper left side work. My vision here is probably a little grand, but I'd like this "town" to be set on a mountain. One of my goals is to figure out the scenery and also the roads. I'm thinking that the back main line could have a station, with a small platform. My vision is...

    Hey, fellow modelers — Small update here. I've been wanting to start on the upper landscaping, especially where the helix comes out at the top and the subsequent space I have for an industry. I need to figure out how much space I've got, with mountains and all of that to fully figure things out...

    You of all people should realize that when you try to do one thing on your layout, you you need to do 10 other things before you can get to what you want to ;)

    Best place to get backdrops? Nscale? GO :D

    Looking to have two backdrops made — one 12 inches by about 15 ft then another 4ft by 15ft. Any suggestions?

    New N-Scale Layout — Need suggestions / Advice

    Also, I've started to experiment with the upper level — my main wish/want was to have a single track run through the hills to run long trains through. I initially was going to create a double bridge scene at the bump-out, but I didn't like the over-busy feeling with the three tracks. I think...

    New N-Scale Layout — Need suggestions / Advice

    Appreciate the positive comments! I'm very much in awe of where I'm at tbh — It's already more satisfying running trains! Little update: Since this layout is larger than before, It was important that I kept in the good graces of the Master Commander of the household and reassured her that we...
