8 x 4 foot HO Scale Model Train Layout - modified River Pass layout.

8 x 4 foot HO layout with outer loop in DC and 2 higher loops in DCC. This is a modified version of the Woodland Scenics River Pass layout but I have made it so 2 separate trains can run on independent tracks. This allows me to operate both DC and DCC so I can run all my favourite locos. It is modelled more on a European theme as most of my engines are in that style.

Just amazing what is possible on this small space. Joe 👍👍👍👍👍

Amazing layout in such a small area! Great job! I enjoyed the video and information on what you did. I really like the idea to keep your tunnels open in the back to access if needed to adjust a train. Thanks for sharing!

What a grand layout. I don't know why it took me so long to find.

Sometimes It’s Not easy Finding Something Like this.

Thanks for showing, afterall I too am planning an 8 x 4 foot 3 story riser myself at some point in time. Great task mate!

[@logansfingerboard5578]

Amazing

[@gregmarrero3400]

Really nice layout it looks awsome man

[@RVA1954]

Great ideas here! I intent to steal the ideas for the sidings. That’s what this layout was lacking for me. Specially the station; how can you have a layout without a station! Now I am all set. Thanks for the video!

Where have all the people gone? It's like an episode of the Avengers! You need to have Steed's Bentley or Emma's Lotus arriving there. I think her on the platform is behind it all...

[@elleryparsons5766]

Nice Layout. You gonna Collect All Brands Of Trains?

[@christmasalight]

If you have the full kit you may need to change it a bit then to incorporate the waterfall etc. I did not use the kit but made the slopes myself using a jigsaw with plywood and pine timber pieces cut from 5mm up to 80mm in height.

[@silkboxing4454]

I have the whole River pass Kit still in the Box. Had it 3 yrs now, but have been working on some Dioramas. I also have been thinking how to modify this layout. I definitely want to put a waterfall in somewhere with a river Bed.

[@christmasalight]

Thanks, I hope to post a video of my very large layout that you could just see in the background in the next few weeks.

[@Tylerspapabug]

We especially like your river gorge. It's much more realistic than the wider river in the river pass kit. How did you achieve that effect. Can you give us some tips?

[@michaelhband]

👍👍👍❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂

[@lnerexpress6793]

Great I have the same size layout

[@johnstoutley2046]

Can't imagine how much this must have cost you to set up this great layout. Thanks for sharing. I hope to get somewhere near that one day. My wife has the scenery skills. I'm still needing wiring help to really do things right, but I have enough track, 3 engines, and carriages, and a number of Woodland Scenic material, buildings, animals, etc., but I'm sure I have to spend another $2000 to $3000 yet to get my layout anywhere near yours. I'm finding coupling problems with one of my engines. Any clues on how to fix that. It's a wonderful hobby and I hope to spend many a year trying to emulate what you've obviously spent hours to achieve.

[@christmasalight]

I suggest you try Kadee couplers, they are good quality. Ask your local hobby shop for help.

[@christmasalight]

Hi Jack The rock formations are all from rock molds that I make using casting plater. The water is Woodland Scenics realistic water.

[@jimkinch6015]

How can I get your track

[@richardray6827]

Do you have more than one 4x8 layout? If so, why not join them? Your work is inspirational. Thank you.

[@electricgaming9914]

What if it details where u can’t reach it?

[@danielkielty4757]

Nice job! What is your steepest grade?

[@utkarshsaxena3511]

can anyone please tell me, from to buy all these stuffs in low prices

[@williansmithonson6613]

I have spent months researching how to build a railroad layout and discovered a fantastic resource at Jareks hobby club (google it if you are interested)

[@jamestorrance6153]

have you got plan of layout

[@christmasalight]

just google River Pass layout - you should find it on You tube or the internet

[@abiralsudip2706]
