Fold down micro train layout
Posted by Waldraff on Monday, April 13, 2020 6:38 AM

I am 98% complete with my fold down micro train layout. Below I have a link to 14 videos that show the build. Enjoy

Enjoy  

I certainly did, and am pleased you included your “glitches”. Otherwise it would have looked all too easy. Smile, Wink & Grin
 
Having had a volcano dominate the near horizon travelling to one of my w**k contracts over a 20-year period, I’m particularly impressed by how you’ve captured the “look”.
 
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers, the Bear.Smile

I'm only up to video #7, but I am impressed!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

Very cool!

I played the videos with the volume off so maybe you have talked about this. How long did it take you from start to finish? It is amazing to comprehend how much is involved in building a layout. I have a fairly large layout that has been in progress for over two years now, and I am still nowhere near finished.

I was impressed with your layout but even more impressed, and a bit envious, of all your tools. Quite impressive!

Having just completed a 30" wide by 12' long river poured with Envirotex Lite, I thoroughly enjoyed your fast paced video on preparing, mixing and pouring the river.
