Design Presentation - Building a Beginners Model Railroad from ground up.

Presentation of the layout, the design features, available options and possible modes of operation - We´re building a beginners style Model Railroad from start to end in only 18 days -
The layout measures 1.5 x 2.5m (5 x 8ft) and can therefore be built in most bed- and living rooms.
The tables are available in the entire world from IKEA. The trackplan geometrics are following industry standards, so you are free to chose the type of tracks you favor.
IKEA Tables required:
2pcs Table top "Linnmon" 100x60cm
2pcs Table top "Linnmon" 150x75cm
16pcs Table Leg "ADILS"

Personally I just enjoy building the kits and doing the scenery so the operation doesn't matter to me. You should find out what you like doing and not worry about whether it's realistic or not and enjoy yourself as your hobby

[@Schmiddko]

Oh seems to be a good series! I‘m excited

[@gregbowen617]

Looking forward to following this series-cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@iceman3772]

A good series start. I'm curious for the next episode.

[@roydom5]

Great work! Looking forward to the rest of the series!

[@julioabreudossantosneves7226]

A didatic explanation about Model Railroad, doing comparisons with a Real Railroad. Fantastic. Congrats!

[@jimdickinson7958]

Perfect timing for me too Martin - Thanks. I have learning MRR lore from you for a while now, starting with the beautiful scenicing that you do. Soon I will be starting on my next layout and a review of basic concepts is great, particularly in a tidy, compressed presentation. Then eventually I can go back and build a beautiful environment drawing in part from your excellent work. Someday my Märklin trains will have a fitting world in which to run! and you will have helped immensely.

[@ChannelWright]

This is exactly what I needed at this point. Thank you! (Went to IKEA yesterday)

[@edsutherland8266]

Really looking forward to following this development! It looks great, thanks!

[@andrewpalm2103]

I like your introduction very much, especially since you bring in prototypical operations and use them as a logical basis for the layout track plan. A simple continuous oval with a siding or two can soon become stale after building is complete if the layout is to be more than a child's toy. I look forward to the rest of this series!

[@E_73]

Hi Martin! I like your new beginner serie. I think we all can learn a lot. Greetings from North Germany. 😊

[@markusockeloen]

Because of this series I started building my own model railroad layout. Great track plan to start with. I added 4 tracks for a shadow station underneath. Thank you for the inspiration Martin. 🙂👍

[@vanleeuwenhart]

Very well done, since I am in the starting phase( for the last 20 years or so) I will be watching your clips as soon as they arrive. Oh and I am glad I signed up as a patron, you're worth it! :)

[@hernanpatricioorellanaalar3473]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Greetings from Chile! 🇨🇱

[@a_szabo_bence]

Thank you Martin for your informative videos! Really nice advices, and pretty good play value in this small layout that you showed us!

[@pbyfr]

Nice to see the different ways to use or enjoy the model clearly explained.

[@kristianashton8714]

I absolutely love your series! Thank you so much ❤ Greetings from Stuttgart.

[@tipi8340]

A wonderful tutorial for the very beginners like I am. Thank you very much from Poland! 👍👍👍🙇‍♂️

[@jorgeherreromarcos5963]

I just love this new series!!😍😍

[@edoardovanaxelcastelli1861]

Always a pleasure follow your videos!! Waiting for next episode

[@bozzo8333]

Just awesome and perfect timing! I am setting up my extented starterkit on my kitchentable and are highly interested in your shadowstation. :-) A big cheer from Germany! By the way, Märklin itself is making a series for beginners at the moment as a weekly „livestream“. Looking forward for the next episode.

[@TheGtomarc]

Excellent video Martin, there is a lot in this that could solve a few of the problems I have encountered with my actual layout. I did not put enough thought into the fact that there has to be some kind of "flow" on the layout to have trains moving ini a close to realistic manner. But seeing this video has already given me some new ideas how to untangle a few of my "knots"

[@johanolsson5470]

love the new series. I will need to convince my loved one that we need the get a house soon ( live in a apartment i Karlstad). Take care!

[@atulsharan5711]

Always great videos. And this is excellent and serves a huge need !

[@rhiwderinraytube]

Great video, Martin and a great idea!

[@tommycanadasmobazimmer]

I’m Very much looking forward to this series Greetings from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦

[@bozzo8333]

Und wir schauen natürlich bei Dir zu Tommy! Toll, wie Moba über alle Grenzen hinweg verbindet!!!

[@luctoulouse]

Hey Martin. Great video as usual. It will be excited to ee the end result of this series.

[@DruSteel69]

Awesome. I had my model railroad layout built since 2019 but not quite content with my track plan. Looking forward to watch episode 2. I know, I want to change things. Thanks for your videos. Very helpful. Have a great weekend.

[@modelrailwaynoob]

People need to watch lots of videos of experienced model railway builders and learn their techniques. I use Anyrail now as a first start, after deciding how big my board will be. I find it helps iron out problems and means I do not buy too much or not enough track. It gives you your shopping list.

[@pbeccas]

I started my railroad today. Good timing. Thanks.

[@mrspockmm8741]

A really interesting video. Looking forward to the next one!

[@minnesotaeerailroad8471]

This is awesome! I will be sharing this with friends just getting started! It’s also good for us! Thanks!

[@stefanbattige7988]

Great! For those interested in ferry operation there exists a kit from Walthers for a railway ferry apron and a railway barge with 3 tracks on board which can easily be transformed into a ferry boat adding a scatch-built superstructure!

[@danagreen6518]

Martin, as always your knowledge is exciting to model railroading fans. I look forward to learning some new skills and ideas for my ho scale railroad that is one year old now...finishing my rail yard and need ideas on operations. Best to you via Maine USA

[@johan_oosting]

I am excited! Geetings from the Netherlands

[@ernestogor1570]

Permítame decirle que usted es un genio y un gran maestro. Construye cosas muy bellas, le envío mis felicitaciones y saludos desde Argentina

[@goneloco1]

Good to see all the people are observing social distancing 😷

[@TheDarthMushroom]

Love this concept. Really looking forward to see what Will be happening. :) and a happy new year to you.

[@smallscenesh0]

Totally a Master Class on Rail road modeling!👍😉👍 Great video, as usual!

[@edhendrix6848]

Hi there Martin, I'm just starting but i follow you for a longer time. Love your video's and i'm excited to see more from this Martin Town series! Keep up thuis good work!!! Best regards, Ed from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

[@TheGamingEevee8]

Thanks for the interesting video, I started one then got lost in the planning and haven't been back to doing it again, so hopefully these videos give me inspiration to start again.

[@onkyonky4740]

Very clever way to pass on your knowledge, well done and thank you.

[@2H80vids]

While I wouldn't class myself as a beginner, I'm really looking forward to this series. The whole idea of the "ferry" is 𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑢𝑠 and has so many possible variations.👍👌😁 I also learned that Swedish railways run on the correct track - I didn't know that Martin.😁

[@trashtrainpunk1542]

Happy New Year from Ulm, Germany! Stay well!

[@ErzgebirgsMoBaHO]

Hi there. It's going to be a great series. I am really looking forward to the following episodes. Greetings Tino

[@tommyaugustsson8239]

Denna serie skall bli riktigt kul att följa

[@normanrowe2831]

Hello Martin, this is very exciting. I very much look forward to your progress. New Year, new layout, new series, perfect. Please don’t take offense at the following. You are multilingual, and I have much respect for that. I barely speak one language. Lol. So a small correction..... a fr ight train would be something one might find on a Halloween train. Lol....... a fr hate train carries freight. Please take this in the manner it was intended. A loving correction. . I look forward to this series. See ya.

[@ExtraLeben]

Finally .. the idea i needed.. :D.. had a layout like this on my mind the entire time.. but needed an layout idea ^^ thank you .

[@edwinpostma0640]

I just bought 3tables fron ikea. 120x60cm for my N-scale layout. Great idea

[@ImperialKneazle]

Fabulous idea, thank you so much x

[@kos492]

Sir you are a very talented man, hello and greetings from australia

[@cs512tr]

stellar series!

[@simonbergman5970]

man my first set was one from trix, I really love the way their C-rail uses the marklin system but you can run 2-rail loco's

[@mojac53]

Great project Martin.

[@muir8009]

I've always really enjoyed your videos, however this new series is just a cut above everything, not only realistic in size and budget, but very well thought out regarding operations and a functioning reason for the railway. so I'm dragging out my tt again (just dismantled my tt layout: I really needed this video beforehand!) and I've done that monthly patreon thing. it's funny, but I reckon that you could wire just the end loops as seperate reverse curves, therefore having the ability to connect both running tracks at the stations. Well done Martin, knew these Swedes would come through... :)

[@gbjanuary]

Great been looking forward to watching this 👍🏻😀

[@Zeisslermusic]

I am at the startup too. Lets rock that IKEA Railroad. :-)

[@allantangemadsen3246]

Hey Martin. Al ready shared your video on danish fb-groups. Hope they will all subscribe to your channel. Personally I really enjoy watching your tutorials.

[@raymondmarkesteijn3198]

A nice introduction thank you

[@alexanderehn3729]

Wow! Amazing and very interesting!

[@eriks5111]

You deserve more followers. Love your videos!! Marklin fan.

[@evileyeball]

Great Idea with the Ikea again

[@twoandahalfhasi5856]

Awesome!

[@FourDollaRacing]

My track plans also consider time-period, season, and geographic location for the layout, to select motive power, rolling stock, structures, figures, and landscaping materials. A starter set or prototype is a great way to decide which items are period-correct for your layout; however, modern accessories aren't always available to compliment the latest model trains. Another consideration is the scale. N-scale is gaining popularity, at least in the USA, and more track can be laid in the same space, when N-scale is compared to HO scale...

[@michasmodellbahn]

What a great Project! My layout is based on the same „IKEA“ Tables. Just an easy and cheap way to start a layout :-). Greetings, Micha!

[@KnowledgePerformance7]

Yes yes yes! This is AMAZING! Thanks so much for the amazing content

[@filipthetrainguy4723]

Thank you so much, this Is realy helpful!

[@ronchickadel5837]

going to really good to learn from, thankyou

[@lorriedmussett4692]

Martin, I found you here on YT from watching Luke Towan's channel. im strictly a devoted follower ( who supports you on Patreon) who loves following all you guys with your railroad layouts / ho scale dioramas, even miniatures... Also, this upcoming series looks exciting. It's a good example of why I happily support. Thz you again!

[@davocueto3520]

Great video, thanks

[@Bighell01]

Inspiring as always.

[@amiyasahu067]

Love you from India🇮🇳

[@therealtobi04]

perfect timing i wanted to build a new layout

[@joelvale3887]

My new layout will be a small town with a Rail Road Museum with scenic trips for tourists and some small industries.

[@haklin5650]

I really loves slow tv 👍

[@johne5854]

Excellent video. Well thought out. Interesting to see another perspective of building a model railway.

[@koyaanisqatsi316]

What a coincidence. I did get my starterset (Piko 59020) earlier this week and need to build a railroad now.

[@derz-crackmodellbahnvideosinsp]

Hi Martin, I´ll stay tuned!!! A little bit I´am sad, because: "The whole thing would certainly have its charm also as an Z-gauge project"!!! But anyway, it´s always great to follow your modeling! Greetings out of my own little crafting basement, Olli alias "DER Z-CRACK"

[@Gbhmagic]

Im first...ha.. love the videos. Watched most of them by this point.

[@Hornhausen]

Amazing.

[@johneaton25]

FANTASTIC video made for nobs just like me 😎

[@user-vd1bk8st4m]

Superb very good and interested

[@therealrepete]

Awww yeah!!!!

[@garthclose2233]

Hi Garth Close great thanks 😀

[@gert-janligtenberg3180]

hey Martin, great to see these videos. I wish I could get Martinstown 2.0. something of Martinstown expansion or variation😜 or something totally new🙈 Just a compliment, but this series of yours is great. I love it but now I have ordered this set from Noch. Is there a delay. I think they're busy at Nor, probably because of Martinstown? 😜It will now arrive in late November/early December.

[@mickev2009]

Do you plan to install a linkspan for the train ferry? It would look very nice. Many Danish club layout have train ferry scenes.

[@sajanavithanapathirana6761]

Love the video! I wonder what the budget of this model is

[@robverheij561]

Dear Martin, I have been following you for years, that will be wonderful again, do you also have a construction drawing and a shopping list, what to buy and maybe where? Thank you greetings from Rob

[@masterbrick6282]

Nice

[@phille8176]

Super bra och underhållande video! Har Märklin från min pappa som jag tänkte bygga ihop senare. får inte bygga det för mamma för ens jag är 18. Märklitet betyder väldigt mycket för mig då jag alltid velat bli lokförare men jag fick min ADHD diagnos för ett år sedan så gick drömmen i kras. Dessutom förlorade jag min pappa när jag var 14 månader gammal. så när jag fyller 18 så kommer jag bygga en fin Märklin banna. Tack för video, kommer vara till nytta när tiden kommer. MVH/ Philip

[@AndraRadithya]

What camera are you using? Every footage you record is amazing.

[@jenserikebbesen8405]

Very nice video. Concerning the layout I’ve always learned that the outer curve in a dobbletack should be used for inclines whereas the innertrack should be used for declines. Your layout uses the steepest incline for the trains to climb, possible more than 3%. What is the reason for that?

[@markjohnson9136]

Love your channel. Your English is very good. Just pointing out something. Height = hite. Freight = frate. Why we do that with the pronunciation is beyond me. I’m also learning Spanish as a hobby and that make pronunciation much easier.

[@dylandematos4841]

I hope u can get more videos out soon

[@lanceotto9569]

Do you ever get gunked up scenery from running the smoke on your trains? I’ve heard mixed opinions on smoke in steam locos and the smoke not being the best long term due to the oil residue getting everywhere.

[@scottpecorino6320]

Do you think we can save time by you coming over to my house? I live in New York in the USA

[@elsamargothurriagaorrego5488]

Hola hola, extraño en este tutorial el doblaje en español es una lastima....se lo fantástico de sus tutoriales 😪Ojalã pueda tener acceso a dicha I formación. Un abrazo desde Colombia.

[@joramzieltjens7012]

Nice with a new video tutorial!, but do you also have a tutorial on how to get money so you can get started😂

[@greghall4836]

I think you need to go watch Budget Model Railways channel for that. :)

[@louiseschricker9963]

Hi. How are you attaching the track feeder wires to main bus wires on DCC layout ? Solder to bus wire ? Terminal strips ? Or suit case connectors ? Thank you

[@qamarabbasofficialchannel1713]

Wow nice video pakistan
