Build a Model Train Diorama

In this video I will show you how I build a model train diorama for display and photography. I built this diorama in 4 evenings to display some models at a local art show and to take photos of trains outside. Watch how I did it.

I’ve been to Midwest model a few times and it is one of the best train shops I’ve been to.

[@medwaymodelrailway7129]

Nice update .Like it very much.

[@kevinheard8364]

Ron: I just saw Chadwick Model Railway's mention of your channel (I obviously watch you both). Great work!!

[@michaelsullivan3581]

Gee Ron, That was dang near mir-ac-u-lous! Thanks!

[@N-Scale]

Great looking module and great methods.

[@williamflowers7927]

That's why I love being creative👍🚂🚋🖋🖌🖍🖊

[@Madonsteamrailways]

It looks a fine little diorama on which to display or photograph model railroad locomotives and other railroad vehicles.

[@stimpyueediot]

for only having 4 days you did a great job.

[@fbrailroad4628]

That diorama came out great for only having four days to build it. It's nice to let the public see what the model railroad community can do and show of your work.

[@michaelfeldman-budarick9295]

I love the santa fe b40-8 and the gp bnsf loco with the mixed freight thats my favourite setup i love to run on my layout,

[@donaldlewis1836]

Great diorama. I had to get the static king, on sale through Amazon. Thanks, Ron

[@modelrailroader5619]

Boy, some people work really well under pressure...😉. Might have been nice to build it to Free-mo standards so you can use it at those meets. Really enjoyed this, Ron. Thanks for sharing!

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

[@bernardc2553]

Dang Ron for outta the holster speed,that turned out amazing Man!

[@modelrailroadenthusiast1825]

Very cool, nice job

[@bebopcats]

I really like the gulley and culvert. It gives your train something to travel and over that is quick and easy to make as opposed to installing a bridge, making a river, a road, etc.
