How to Build a Realistic Imaginary Mountain Model Railroad

It's nice to see how much better he's gotten over the years

[@kaurus1227]

Agreed, though he was already amazing at the start!

[@erik87178]

went from really good to amazing

[@PepperDog76]

Thinking the same thing. Always enjoyable content that keeps getting better

[@audreycurtis8429]

Or how much more creative and outgoing

[@ericvaughn2617]

His presentation skills keep getting better too. Even without the hobby stuff it's just generally entertaining.

[@HalfAsleepChris]

Every second of this was mesmerising. I learnt so much

[@BhGriffon13]

Hi Chris

[@Deuce_and_a_half]

It'd be cool to see your take on it Chis! Maybe with some OO scale British loco's. You could do a fictional line over the Cliffs of Dover, or maybe in the beautiful scenery of the lake district.

[@Coldplay4Life]

yooo, I looove you videos! :D never thought I’d see you here :)

[@davidthomas6473]

I think he’s brilliant 🤩

[@felixmckinney7132]

Woah! Wasn’t expecting to see you here! Makes sense though.

[@be9579]

Man dude I gotta say your train builds are my absolute favorites to watch, the size and scale is so commendable

[@henryalbaugh652]

Agreed you are a legend finally someone else who agrees with me

[@StudsonStudio]

Big n beautiful build, Boylei

Wow, more big builds please! This was a blast to watch come together.

Not only is the build amazing, the humour is very much on point!

[@Tomy_Yon]

Oliver! 😊

[@fredericapanon207]

Yes, but I have to wonder about his dentist...

[@Free_jim_from_caseohs_grocery]

We making it out of the dentist office with this one

[@eliguy2344]

It's always a treat when Boylei releases a new video, it's always a fun and relaxing watch. I've started painting miniatures again thanks to the inspiration from all the amazing dioramas.

[@benjaminwestby5836]

I’m a school teacher in Glenwood; I love sharing your videos with my students. We often have diorama projects to go with essays or research projects and I use your videos as inspiration with the kids on process and details. Would love to have you do a workshop with my students some day if you ever have the urge to visit the West Slope.

[@Nigel-i5b]

Glenwood springs?

[@austinshaw9091]

You could also do a virtual workshop with him! Ofc if he wants XD, makes things a lil easier to achieve and still fun!

[@AndrewKuntzman]

The mountian reminds me of lookout mountain in colorado, and that seemed to be a good idea since you have a weapon off train. So your lookouts can tell the train where the enemy is coming and they can destroy everyone on their train track below the “lookout”

[@OllieOxyn]

perhaps I;m thinking of a different lookout mountain in colorado but the one i know is where Buffalo bill is supposedly buried... much flatter and not high enough for summer/fall snow

[@AndrewKuntzman]

It is flatter this is look out mountain 2.0

[@Josh31287]

​@user-ue2jq8uf6xwhy be rude about it?

[@Signal_Box_Studios]

@user-ue2jq8uf6xIdiot. Try thinking about the build, dude.

[@dapperdanny2957]

Yeah I was hoping for a yeti to come from the back of the mountain, maybe next time😉

[@JagoHazzard]

This is so gorgeously atmospheric. As a train nerd, your train builds make me happy.

[@HolyCowCreates]

As much as I LOVE your wild west builds, my heart lies in the mountains so I think this is my favorite build of yours yet. This is awesome and inspiring, Boylei! Great build.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh... I used to live in Colorado, so every time you do one of these builds, I always miss it. This turned out absolutely fantastic, all the fall foliage with the snow and the color of the water are just so visually pleasing together. And the lighting really complimented it as well, beautiful as always!

[@dragonboss7995]

I absolutkey love seeing more of the mountain builds. It reminds me of the front range of colorado and it kind of has a homey feel to it. Your tressel at the end also reminds of the george town railway loop. Due to how it is a downward sloping gradient and it turns which georgetown was the first in the world to build. Amazing job as always.

[@Signal_Box_Studios]

Yes! I just went on the George Town Loop and it looks just like it.

[@DarkWolfProwler20]

I don’t know why, but the “if you’re wondering why I didn’t add any track bed to this section right here…. It’s because of the large gap” made me burst out laughing 😂

[@toodlesX14]

The scale of this project is incredibly impressive! The forced perspective with the mountain works so well

[@andygossard4293]

BEAUTIFUL!! Now the trick is to preserve it and take it from place to place seamlessly. No matter the bulk.

[@PetesWorld01]

Looks great, shame the triple loop didn't work out but the trestle supported section makes this look really cool! Do you have a P.O. Box or similar where people can send you stuff?

[@andrewlaverghetta715]

I was definitely going to say, that looks like HO scale and there’s NO was that was going to work.

[@VeekerStudios]

When Boylei posts a video, I make sure to like, comment and share, which is a tip I learned from my dentist

[@nelly5954]

Truly splendid. What I wouldn't give to have a tour of all your projects in person.

[@michaeldavid4690]

That’s true craftsmanship!! in the early 80s. My dad took a couple pieces of plywood and made an entire town even had a tunnel running through the wall and back around with some of the best times of my life. We got everything at Johnny’s toy shop. they had one gentleman that overseen just the trains alone, he had the answers to everything. This is truly an amazing piece you made.

[@skylark3232]

I absolutely love all your dioramas, and this one has to be one of my favorites! The train and the landscape looks so awesome together! Thank you for all the work you do to make these awsome videos!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Came out great!

[@dontesnicu8178]

This is an amazing diorama, honestly, you have great skills and you should keep up the work and effort, well done!

[@Jett-n-gin]

Man, Sundays are quickly becoming my favorite day of the week

[@jkJk23890]

Love your stuff man!! The train vids and starwars dioramas are my favorite

[@hamiltonsullivan6563]

This is honelty the best one so far!

[@sunnyquartz]

It looks so awesome! Idk why but made me want to see you make a fair ground with a wooden rollercoaster. If only there were moving coaster tracks🤔

[@chandirathnasekara7609]

I love your satisfied videos ❤❤😮😮😮

I love the relatively quick video with concise details on the progress of this feat of a project. Lovely scene!

[@garrettyadon3861]

This is the best Thumbnail I’ve ever seen in my entire life

[@jinks908]

The amount of hours I have watched you build dioramas knowing full well I will never in my life build one is staggering.

[@emmavaria]

This is the gateway drug to those absolutely amazing ultra realistic full-room-size model train layouts.

[@andrewwilson3587]

That's definitely one of the higher 14's. Beautiful!

[@Gameplax]

i love trains and mountain dioramas and the music was perfect

[@graysonwoeste]

i just cant say how much he has inspired me. when i watched his videos i just felt like this is something that i would love to do and i have made 20 small dioramas sense then. i just cant explain my gratitude for what he does and if i could wish for anything it would be to talk to him and get to now him better.

[@themr_wilson]

6:35 I'm glad you explained that, I wasn't exactly sure why you hadn't, but it makes sense now

[@mossbased]

HOLY SMOKES!!!!!! Seeing larger work from you is such a treat!!

[@timosteen]

You’ve gotten so good at this over the years! The forced perspective look you were aiming for really sells! Great job!

[@jeromegilly]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE BUILD SO FAR!!! You’re pretty much the only channel for this hobby that I watch because I like your personality the best- and you don’t swear. Thank you

[@graham_plays_piano]

I really hope that Boylei connects every imaginary Wild West build together to make one HUMUNGOUS imaginary Wild West diorama. Absolutely amazing build btw!!!

[@ianAEF]

This looks so good it’s ridiculous. The mountain top really looks further away, the colors are beautiful. Congratulations!

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

That blue treatment at the top of the mountain is chef's kiss level! Love how this turned out. Great work and God bless, my friend.

[@KeanesCove]

Fantastic model and v well documented and presented

[@Jay-ql4gp]

I'm staggered by that bridge! That thing looks like it would hold some actual weight. Well done!

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Fantastic use of products!! Amazing result. 😍😍😍

[@meowmeowZZ22]

I love that you will strive to always make your dioramas really realistic.

[@meowmeowZZ22]

It also reminds me of the natural scenery of Ireland

[@charlessapp1835]

Watching this in my train room surrounded by my layout that I am building. Ballasting tip: One of the best things you can use for ballasting is a 1" foam brush. It is the perfect size for removing ballast from the rails and ties, and the beveled edge is perfect for the ballast slope.

[@rubberneckinc.8937]

Always starting my week off on the right foot with hobby time. Thank you sir.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Brother, these are my favorite builds that you do. Stunning! More train realted content will be awesome.

[@SteveGad]

Great job buddy. It's so good to see someone demonstrate what a little planning, hard work and dedication can achieve.

[@ES-nw9nc]

I recently built my first diorama and I had so much fun doing it. I never thought I could build one until I watched your videos. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@echodelta2426]

Another excellent build. If Neal is the king of terrain builds, then you are definitely a prince.

[@Ammonitemare1711]

Baffled by how huge this is and how you've nailed every single aspect. The snow on top looks amazing, the color transition in the foliage is genius, and a perfect resin lake. Truly a culmination of skill

[@silenttraveler7192]

Total Awesomeness 😮

[@halfcrafted]

Marvellous stuff! This came together beautifully, the colour gradient especially coming down from the cap to the warm mid tones for the scenery and then to darker blues for the lake just looks so great. Really good job!

[@jasonshiers5771]

[@Ntheda2024]

This is so inspiring! I’m just about to finish my second year at university and haven’t had time for much else with all the studying. Watching your videos has totally sparked this idea to try building dioramas when I get home to relax. Can’t wait to give it a go (probably smaller and way simpler, though!).

[@juicyjams8522]

You simply AMAZE me boylei. You are so creative. I hope I can make stuff like you one day. Just.. Incredible. Thank you for sharing as always.

[@CaptainWT]

THE SAGA CONTINUES This guy will really take the most basic model train set and the. It into a legit work of art

[@modelermark172]

You call it "good." I call it excellent! I can't wait to see your follow-up additions of monsters, structures, and figures to fill out your simple (but very effective) landscape in future videos. That said, it is too bad that you were not able to use as much track as you initially wanted to use. I don't have the room for a full-on 8' X 4' model railroad layout, but doing something with electric trains was always on my "Bucket List." This 'diorama' approach just might be the solution for me. As always, thanks for sharing this with us!

[@TheasChristmasVillages]

Just found this video, and was blown away at your construction!!! I could sure use this tutorial in my adventures of mountain and tunnel building. This kindergartener just met her college brother! Thank you!!

[@Iris_n_Parti]

I love your videos, man. I'm not a diorama person myself mainly due to not having any space for a workshop. These videos have excellent story-telling and the fact that you explain the processes with some humour and character really is soothing to listen to. I really hope you are doing well in this world, whether it be your social life or your well-being, you really deserve to be a happy person as these dioramas and hobby builds truly are something. I don't normally subscribe to people on KZbin, but you sir are one of the few things that actually entertain me with interest and gratification. For this, I am subscribing to your channel as a way to say thank you for these motivating works.

[@Mr.Railfan]

This is insanely good, I've never seen something so well crafted! This was inspiring for me, so much that my dad and I are trying to make a mountain on our O gauge layout. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@mrbigburrito]

Dude you’re builds have improved so much and I just wanted to say, thank you for your content I love it so much

[@aleledesma4088]

Amazing and beautiful diorama as always. I must say I do enjoy watching how you bring all of this to life, but my favourite thing is your narration, I found it pretty calming, soothing yet fun, so I am always looking forward for the next video.

[@jazzman782000]

Awesome work once again! I love how the top of the mountain looks; your forced perspective painting techniques really did the trick.

[@stormbowman7148]

Looks awesome. Next time paint the track in a brownish/rusty color. It makes the track look more realistic.

[@Mrdana3438]

If you were to take a still photo shot of this, it looks like something you'd see in a landscape painting, particularly the color schemes of the mountain top down to the foliage. Great work!

[@nuttynathan]

Fantastic build! It was good to see your thought process around track planning. Working on my layout, I've run into the same problems of fitting everything in that I want. But your compromise is good. This layout is going to be a great place for cool structures and exotic beasties! Excited to see the videos on that when they come. I gotta go get at least one of those shirts. Those mech designs are rad!

[@txikitofandango]

This really is the Great Value of dioramas!
