My god that O Scale cab forward sounds amazing. Oh and the backdrop is awesome.

Yes sir it looks 👍🏾 Greart

[@ericwilliams1023]

Yeah...glue? Push pins all day! Black Love! I like how you do things your way and dont just do status quo train layout!

[@1344ch]

I'd love to see a layout tour!!!

[@georgecox2924]

Great addition! Very nice.

[@davidfortney2970]

Little late to the party but the back drop looks incredible. I have used back drops and did the same thing you did. Just used push pins. Best way to do it imo. Good luck Ben.

[@TrainBandit]

This layout is so cool! Its cool because its not completely on the floor but its not like the trains took over the room 😂 thats awesome man! 😃💯👍 If you haven't already could you do a layout tour?!?

[@Drew_ku97]

Made a world of difference,looks good brother

[@michaelcraig58]

im not even into trains but dudes love for them and this video was very entertaining..

[@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853]

All hail the floor layout!!!💪🏽 I run similarly and to entertain throughout multiple spaces.

[@UnknownIdaho]

Looks great! Thanks for telling us a bit about your layout.

[@StevesTrains]

Very cool stuff! I just came across your channel today, and love the content and what you are doing with your layout! I've never seen or even considered a floor-based layout with scenery like you are doing. Since I've just started dipping my toes into O gauge (I've primarily done HO and N scale and lately some Z scale), this idea intrigues me. I plan to build a small 24"x80" door-sized switching layout in O scale later this year, but the idea of making a bunch of sceniced modules I could assemble on the floor for a time and then store away has me very interested since I have no available space for a permanent O gauge layout (at least not for several more years).

Hi Ben, your backdrop looks fabulous as do your locus and stock👍

[@kevinjohnson7468]

I love how you think outside of the box when it comes to conventional layouts.

[@GoldStandardTrains]

Great video Ben!

[@freescopesdad]

Ben, who did the backdrop, and what type of paper/vinyl is it printed on? Thanks.

[@jimmelchin1531]

Ben....new subscriber from Maine. Saw you and friends on the recent Trainworld livestream. Liked your layout and thoughts. Thank You

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Looks great 👍 Where did you get it ?

[@pungo3]

Really smart and tasteful. I’ve wanted to add a backdrop for years but knew I could never get it glued in place just right. What a simple idea to just tack it up and let it hang smoothly without it being a permanent commitment. Great ideas. I’m tuned in for more. Thanks!

[@raysrails2164]

Very nice!

[@blaketatar1239]

Ben, love the backdrop. Your layout is so unique and pretty wonderful.

[@kendrawatkins8290]

love the idea of clear thumbtacks. Doing my final room room which will be 2 level. As you can see in my videos will use your idea on the other rooms that have finished set. Thanks for the idea.

[@2railnation]

Looks great! You can just make a little cover to block the rear side of the turn out light.

[@Bens_Trains_]

I forgot to put it back on 😂

[@ArtsModelTrains]

Great backdrop, I'm with you, I wouldn't glue that to the wall either.

[@TheRambles]

Cool vid! Thanks for sharing

Just subbed. How many inches high is your backdrop?

[@NHseacoast]

How about a layout tour? Grest.Videos 😊 Ben!

Great job Ben!

[@AgitatedDrifter]

Really nice addition Ben! Some of the wide shots going up the grade to where 611 is parked really adds to the dynamic of your very unique set up! Look forward to seeing more progress

[@stevenfd123]

Looks good Ben

[@michaelsylvester8899]

Ya did good 👍

[@michaelmorgan7893]

It's definitely a unique concept, and I definitely understand your issue with not wanting to take up all your floorspace for a layout. I'm found something a bit more unconventional myself, in that I'm planning a modular layout, that runs both H. O. Scale and N scale, with the larger being on the forward edge of the layout nearest view, with all the fine details, and switching operations, etc. And then the N scale, will be farthest back, and elevated on a cliff about 12" where it can be free to run longer trains, and looks like a two track main line. I chose Eastern Arizona and Western New Mexico as those mesas and buttes kinda divide up the scenery, yet leave plenty of wide open area for viewing those long trains on the N scale. I like your construction ideas too, as to the backdrops. I ruined one trying to permanently glue it to a plywood backboard. Great work, Ben.

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

[@how_to_hallagon1]

I can identify with this. I live in apartments so I can't have anything permanent. I too had floor layouts but with a back injury I now put em up on saw horses. I also have 4 radio controlled planes and a rc truck.

[@olafjentzsch6759]

Ben ,new to your channel. Your new back drop looks awesome . I also like how you didn’t build a table but instead you sorta did a floor layout. Witch is really cool. I would really like to see the rest of your layout. Thanks again for showing us your trains. ? Thank you again🚂

[@Bobdole4373]

The backdrop does make a difference. Really interested in how you did your floor layout. That’s a good idea

[@therosejewelrailroad489]

You ordered the perfect backdrop for your layout. Looks real nice.

[@joshuaturner6882]

Love the floor idea.

[@Bens_Trains_]

Thank you!

Really nice back drop! Your lay out on the floor looks great! Can't wait to see a lay out tour.
