Build a model train layout: Model railroad scenery Part 1 how to WGH
This video series, hosted by Michael Gross, will teach you the simple how-to workshop techniques you need to know to take an HO scale electric train set and make it a scenic model railroad. Well show you how to build a 4x8 model train table (benchwork) from plywood, lay sections of track, create easy realistic scenery using foam and paint, assemble model buildings, and wire your layout with a DC power pack. When youre done, youll have a railroad that operates well and looks real. Our techniques would work in N, O, S, G, or Z scale also. This video is scene 7, Scenery part 1 how-to.

Bruce Friedman's CSX HO Scale Model Railroad
A visit to Bruce Friedman's CSX HO Scale Model Railroad based on the route from Philadelphia, PA to Baltimore, MD. It's a multi-level walk around design, using DCC (Digital Command Control), the signals just as the prototype (aka the real thing) are operated via a computer program and by a dispatcher when they have an operating session, which is a simulation of prototype practices moving the trains over the road, picking up and setting out cars along the route, there are staging yards that trains are set up on to move over the railroad. The trackage is code 70 and 83, which is based on the actual weight of the rail based on how much it weighs per yard, the turnouts (which allow changing routes from one track to another) are based on #6 and #8 specifications, so that means the degree of curvature is what determines whether the turnout is #4, 5, 8, 10 or 12, they go as high as #20's and #30's for high speed operations and even greater. The layout requires 70 locomotives to operate during the ops sessions, also there are a total of 700 cars to fulfill the operations. The layout is based on current operations, folks from all walks of life are into the hobby and t attend Bruce's sessions to operate the layout, railroaders who really run trains either as conductors or engineers, and a great deal of military folks who are stationed in the area or visit the area, and some law enforcement as well. Why model railroading? Well you can simulate what you seen as a kid, things that are ...

Awesome HO Scale NS TopGon Model Train Action in HD - OCT 2009
Visit Tim Dickinson's HO Scale model train layout for an unusual sight - Norfolk Southern locomotives and TopGon coal cars traversing the line between Spokane and Seattle, Washington. In due time, we'll cover awesome Burlington Northern action from the mid-70's on Tim's layout. Featured in this video are Paul Federiconi and his completely custom, Norfolk Southern Dash9's. Complete with ALL of the detail you could imagine (including some new Details West NS and Dash9 products), Paul even went as far as adding sound to the models with the correct, custom programmed, K5 horn and air compressor - not currently available on the market. Sound decoder by Loksound. Paul painted the models and used decals from ShellScale Decals (www.shellscale.com) Visit: www.detailswest.com Paul's Dash9's pull 36 BLMA Models HO Scale TopGon Coal Cars in smooth, modern fashion. Running empty, the train makes good speed through the flat lands, powers it's way up the grade, and glides down the hill in dynamics for a meet with an intermodal train holding the main.

The O-Gauge Model Railroad Layout of ToyTrains1 (2007)
An overall video of action on the layout. All three trains consist of AtlasO reefers, about 150 in total. The outside track has the MTH Premier GN Z-6 Challenger 4-6-6-4, GN R-2 2-8-8-2 and the GN S-2 Northern 4-8-4. The middle track has an MTH Premier PRR K4s Pacific 4-6-2 pulling and another K4s pushing. The third track has the MTH Premier PRR L1 Mikado 2-8-2 pulling and the PRR B28 0-6-0 pushing. That makes a total of seven steam locomotives in action at one time. Please visit my web site - www.toytrains1.com - to see lots more videos of model (and real) trains in action!

Peterborough Model Railway Exhibition 2011 HD
This is my video log of the various Model Railway layouts that were at the Peterborough Model Railway Exhibition 2011 event this year. Thanks goes to all model railway clubs that granted me full permission to film their fantastic layouts. I think I have mainly filmed N gauge layouts as there wasn't many OO gauge model railways to film but I did manage to film a couple of O gauge trains as well which are impressive for detail and size. There is a couple of modern image layouts in N gauge that I found really impressive such as Shaweport, Dragonby and Newcastle-by-the-Water. Well here is the layouts shown in this order on the video. Uppingham: EM Gauge. This layout is quite a classic one as construction started some 35 years ago. It is based on a segment of the Rugby - Peterborough line and it is set in around the early 1900's which therefore makes it a steam era layout. Sadly though, nothing was running on the layout. So I only briefly filmed the scenery and then moved on. Shaweport: N Gauge This modern image layout is set in the mid-1990's right through to present day operations and it has a high density of rail traffic ranging from DMU's to HST's as well as various types of Freight to keep things interesting. This layout has not one but two N gauge Class 92's that are from CJM models. Other freight was hauled by Dapol Class 66's, Graham Farish Class 60's, Dapol Class 58 with Passenger trains with Class 90's, Class 87's and Class 86's with DMU's such as the Class 150 ...

Model Trains
This was shot at the Model Trains Museum at Balboa Park in San Diego. I had not seen many model train layouts and certainly never filmed any, but I had to try and capture some of what they had there. They have several large and detailed layouts and I highly recommend the museum to anyone who loves trains.
Large HO Basement Model Railroad Layout
Norman Stenzel's HO layout is located in Atlanta GA. The layout fills a 2000 square foot basement and is based on a fictional railroad, the Brandywine & Benedictine. More info on layout can be found here: www.piedmont-div.org Brief Overview: The Brandywine & Benedictine Railroad is a Class 1 Appalachian coal hauler modeled in 1953. It runs north and south from Winston Salem, NC to Pittsburgh, PA. Motive power is a 50/50 mix of steam and first generation diesel power. The railroad is designed with prototype operations in mind with jobs to keep 12 to 16 people busy. The B&B is controlled using Digitrax DCC and a computer running RR&CO software. Layout owner is Norman Stenzel. This layout is located in Atlanta GA. My visit: I and 5 members of the Orlando N-trak club (from Orlando FL) were invited to run on this layout during the Dixie Rail 2010 ops session held October 1 - 3. We visited this layout on Saturday Oct 2nd. Extra Note: At 03:13 The crossing gates sounds are actually coming from the model. The passing train steam audio and freight car audio was dubbed from recordings I made at Cass WV and from a NS freight in Atlanta GA. Extra Note 2: The crossing gates on the layout can be activiated or deactivated by the push button or by sensing the approaching train. All footage recorded by Jared Davis (C) of Whistlepost Productions.
