An HO Scale Model Railroad Track Build Using Kato Track

The video shows some work I'm doing on my layout particularly on the tunnel part of the track. It also features some buildings that I have built from kits.

What foam do you use . Can you put the link for buying it

[@abcando1]

I was using the pink foam normally used for wall insulation. I bought it from Home Depot. www.homedepot.com/p/Owens-Corning-FOAMULAR-250-2-in-x-48-in-x-8-ft-R-10-Scored-Squared-Edge-Insulation-Sheathing-52DD/202085962

Hi Armando, can you tell me how you attached the Unitrack to the base? How happy are you with the Unitrack performance overall? TY

[@abcando1]

Hi, I actually did not attach the unitrack to the base but they are being held in place by the ballast that I glued on the sides of the tracks. Below is a video which shows how I glued the ballast which does a good job of keeping the tracks in place. I really like the Kato unitrack which has been very reliable in my experience so far. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6e4omOIeb-VjLs

Great idea on making your mountains removable. There are a lot of great videos out there on weathering buildings, ( djtrains and Ron's Trains N Things) just to name a couple. Your rock formations look great and it looks like you have the beginning of a fine looking layout. Thanks for sharing. Dave

[@abcando1]

I appreciate the nice words and suggestions, Dave. I will definitely check out on those videos that you mentioned. The mountain scenery in your layout is one of my inspirations and is something that I wish I could have on mine. Thanks again.

Nice job on the tunnel portal. Looking forward to seeing the progress. I also like your fire station and gas station. I will have to check out some of the Faller structure kits for N scale. Thanks for sharing. Randy

[@abcando1]

Thanks for the sub and the comments, Randy! Yeah, Faller has some nice N scale building kits too that you may like. Thanks again!

wilmer had you on his not bad show, glad he did. nice channel

[@abcando1]

Thanks for checking my channel out, Sparky! I'm glad to have found your great channel as well.

[@BoxcarJerry]

Hi Armando the layout looks great , I like how your doing the mountains and making them removable . I'm not familiar with the Faller kits but the church is beautiful . Look forward to seeing the layout progress , thanks for sharing .

[@abcando1]

Hi Jerry. Thanks for watching and for your comments. Will try to post more videos as I do more work on the layout. Thanks again!

[@jimtedesco]

You have many good ideas and will probably have a really nice layout.

[@abcando1]

Thanks for the compliment and the comment, James!

[@Crookedriverandeasternrr]

Very nice work here my new friend. You’ve done a lot in a year. There are many you tube ideas on weathering. First thing you can try is a dulcoat or matte spray over the plastic kits to take some of that plastic sheen. If you’re goi g to spray in the dull finish you’ll want to mask off the windows first because it will ruin them. (Ask me how I know this) 😜🤣. Looks great. David

[@abcando1]

Hi David, my friend! Thanks for visiting my channel and for the great weathering tips! Nice to have found your channel as well and will look forward on your video updates. Take care! Armando

[@trainsbybob]

Awesome layout sir! What radius curves are you using??

[@abcando1]

Thanks for watching and the nice comment. I used 21-5/8" radius for the inner track and 24" for the outer one.

[@alcopower5710]

Just found your channel and had to sub.

[@abcando1]

Thanks so much for watching and the sub. I really appreciate it. Armando

[@georgiasunbelt]

Wow. You’ve accomplished a lot In just one year. Your layout is looking real nice. Amazing how you keep everything looking so neat and your structure builds look awesome. It’s your railroad your building for your own enjoyment but I’m curious as to why your using all Europe kits? Again, thanks for the sub. I subscribed to you and will gladly follow along as you build your layout and will let others know about your channel. Anthony

[@abcando1]

Thanks so much for the compliments and the sub, Anthony! When I started building my model train layout, I got hooked on watching youtube videos for Faller car system and 1/87 scale RC trucks which are mostly from modelers in Germany and other European countries. I saw and liked those modern buildings from their videos that's why I started ordering and building them myself. Thanks again - Armando

[@gjr427]

Like some of the other guys, I heard about your layout from Wilmer and I'm glad I looked you up. Keep up the good work and I will be following along,

[@abcando1]

Thanks so much for the sub and comments, Jerry! I really appreciate it.
