Major work on our HO scale layout!

We are back working on our HO scale layout and in this video we will be doing lots of scenery work and also adding lots of details. I also give you a quick update on all the trees I've been making. Hope you enjoy the video and happy modeling everyone!!!

[@FosScaleModels]

Love the new detailed scenes!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Doug!!! And thanks for suggesting the plastic fence!

[@jontaylor1652]

This layout is a work of art, even without the railway.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you much!!! I appreciate hearing that!

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Looking forward to seeing more scenery being added ..... great job Jason 🍩💪👌👍👏🤘🦫🇺🇸🖖😎💰🔥

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much John!!!

[@yrunaked4]

I am so excited to see you do a scenery update. It just looks amazing. The way the large trees just tower over the buildings and make little coves and nooks out of the area is mesmerizing. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Rob

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Rob, I truly appreciate it!!!

[@benpuss]

Mind boggling! You can get lost in all the cool little areas, noticing the incredible details…

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much and thank you for watching!!!

[@thecnwmondovilinepaulscota7304]

Creating a masterpiece, one square foot at a time! Looking great, Jason!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much, I really appreciate it!!!

[@stevenlitkey9354]

Looking AWESOME 🎉🎉. You have too many irons in the fire 🤣🤣. The HO layout, the Sci-Fi project, the “new” N scale project, and your kits you’re turning out. WOW !!!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I’m crazy busy all of the time and I absolutely love it. I get to be creative every single day. Thanks for watching Steven!!!

[@davidbarrett8451]

The trees are awesome. Well worth the effort.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much David!!!

[@louisbabyCT]

Over the last 2 weeks I've watched most of your videos, what epic content. It's given me so much thoughts and taught me so much for my own layout. And thanks for the attention to all the little details. Fantastic video dude...

[@rclendening]

Fantastic as always. I love all the levels. It really draws you in and makes me wonder what’s around the next corner. I look at your scenes and feel like I’m watching a movie because there are little stories everywhere.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it!!!

[@gregorysuddeth581]

Insane details

[@JasonJensenTrains]

@@gregorysuddeth581 Thank you so very much!!! And thanks for watching!

[@wynorawishum5860]

Looking good, I wish we could see more detail of what you are doing. Thank you, you are an artist.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much and thank you for watching!!!

[@mcmullinyardhaunt]

Love all the lil details, Amazing work.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!!

[@rdc2724]

That looks great!, when the amount of work to do is overwhelming, it can help to divide the whole layout in small sections and finish a section completely before you move to the next one. You could even make a drawing of the layout and mark off when a section is complete. In this way you have little projects that you can finish in a reasonable amount of time and each time you finish a project you get a really good feeling!

[@edg1754]

I could get lost for hours just wandering through a couple square feet of this magnificent layout. Excellent work, Jason!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Ed!!! Always great to hear from you! 👍

[@donsunden5906]

I like your layout I really wish you would show us just how you do add the little detail instead of them just appearing in place.

[@diyfireking]

Your work is always impress. I'm excited to see more 😍😍

[@CatherineCHARLEBOIS-ws5hz]

It already look so good and then you add scenery and details and suddenly it all comes alive! It’s like magic. Thank you for the guided tour and all the mind process of it all. You are planning for video about making water but could you also do one on how you made the green grass area?

[@marvinthemartian666]

This is the sort of video I prefer, this and the actual modelling on the layout. I much prefer it to the making the kit buildings and I wish there was of more an equal ratio of layout modeling to kit building, but I know why, you need to promote the kits. Looking great

[@alandarch5162]

That is beautiful work u , all of us something to strive for . Question what do u do to get the crates looking that nice can u show one a video some time .Alan

[@normanrowe2831]

Hi ya Jason. As always, museum quality work. Just beautiful.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Norman!!! Always great to hear from you!

[@j.r.vaughan5052]

You’re working on my favorite part of the layout. Adding the scenery and small details, while time consuming, really make all the previous hard work come alive and bring the fantasy world to life. Great job.. I love your work.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much, I really appreciate it!!!

Looking great there Jadon! Love it!

If only I could enter the twilight zone, I’d live there in that seaside town forever. Beautiful work Jason, you and Doug Foscale are the go to guys.

[@alexwake850]

I can't believe how much your layout has changed so much and the size of it now is astonishing, and coming to life with all of the incredible lived in detail. I'd love to see a murky water effect video. ❤👍

[@joekrynski7173]

just absolutely amazing work! such an inspiration! After i get done watch your work it gets me an extra pep'!!!

[@michaelimpey1407]

Jason, amazing transformation with the scenery details going in. It really is like a small postcard picture, everywhere you look, just so great. Looking forward to the next stages on the detailing, and the water. Thank you for sharing, cheers, and stay safe, Michael

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Michael for the kind words, I really appreciate it!!!

[@darylhitchcock7680]

Super Nice Work... Your attention to detail is Fabulous...

[@edhorst7212]

Always amazing viewing your layout, explanation of how this detail will belong, weathering as well then finally building replaced.. excellent video Jason.. stay motivated.. Happy Eclipse Day Monday..4/08/2024🎶☕️☕️✌️

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Ed!!! I always appreciate it! Happy Eclipse Day to you!

[@docwithnodegree3416]

Really cool video Jason this is really coming together phenomenally! I get lost in all the little scenes!

[@stevehasler8922]

These videos showing the layout come together, and working through all the details, are my favorite. A great counter balance to model building and painting technique (which are great too). Thanks for putting so many hours of output into one video. Speaking of details, one question: do you have any plans to go back in and add street and building illumination some day? Also, a tiny sidebar question: I can't recall if I've seen any fire hydrants on your layouts? Probably just forgetting.

[@WargamingHistory]

Loving this part of the layout the fall look is fabulous. More trees we all need more trees!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much!!! The fall is my favorite season so seeing the fall trees on the layout makes me happy!

[@anthonyborden2513]

I've learn alot from your channel you are a great 👍 model I'll be ordering few of your kits soon to put on my nyc to shore points nj ho layout soon I would like to see how to make a beach and long boardwalk if you can can you show us how to make a boardwalk like in Atlantic city please 🙏 thanks Jason

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!! And thank you for watching!!!

[@wthwing]

I sure as hell APPRECIATE your talent, creativity and patience something I CAN never do.....

[@salvadornally]

Your attention to detail inspires me. The water areas look a little flat to me, would acrylic pour add to the realism.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you!!! I have not textured the water yet. It will be last so that it does not get ruined while working on the area around it.

[@jamesfitch6431]

Great video

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you James!!!

[@robturner3117]

Love your videos when your working on the layout

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much!!!

[@bobainsworth5057]

Just amazing, im soeachless. It's going beyound my comprehension . Way more then I would ever thought was possible. My only question is why build the front buildings before the back. My back is hurting thinking about all that leaning over that beautiful front section. Again you are an inspiration. We don't have to detail as much as you but your showig us what is possible if we chuse to do it. Zoowie!!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Bob!!! I definitely don’t do things in order. I just build what I’m inspired to build. I think that’s how I have gotten so much done. Thanks for watching!!!

[@luvindemtrains]

It's amazing all of the work that goes into a smaller footprint. Then we go down a rabbit hole when we discover other things that need to be done before and after we do the things we intended to. It looks great! It's all about pacing and only working when you're inspired and motivated. Sometimes it's about the journey not the destination.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! It’s definitely about the journey!

[@FourDollaRacing]

*WE* did a good job on your layout, Jason! 😋

[@JasonJensenTrains]

And I thank you all!!!! 😀

[@markdeschane4467]

Looks wonderful Jason, I like how everything looks well used!

Amazing work. One of the top 3 on KZbin IMO. Thank you for doing these videos. They have helped me and others become better modelers.

Good video jasen. Not looking bad. Lots of buzzing in video?

[@stephanorichel1388]

Was soll man zu dieser Kunst nicht Arbeit sagen, einfach sensationell. Leider kann man viele Materialien in Deutschland nicht bestellen

[@jerrydavis5934]

your layout would make a good set for a kid's movie, where tiny humans are living there in secret.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

@@jerrydavis5934 LOL, Thank you so much and thanks for watching!!!

[@robertdaigle7021]

Wow…and you’re still not done…amazing…as a side question…how many square feet is your layout ? Consider the time / effort / details just on the two square feet you just showed…great job and I am very pleased to be a patron member…as always Jason…look forward to your next update…😎

[@folkertvanwijk5168]

Looking great. But mist the actual proces. Would like to actual see you doing the scenery and detailing.

[@markdeschane4467]

I'd like to see how you made your coble stone roads!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I have a video from one year ago called “Cobble stone roads made from styrofoam” It shows in detail how I made them.

[@johnschutt9187]

Beautiful work. Thank you for showing us? Where did you get all the detail parts - cinder block, trash can, pallets, etc? Thank you.

[@scottmccloud9029]

Incredible work Jason. How in the world do you keep that dusted? Without losing any pieces? Im super impressed.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Scott!!! I use a lot of super glue and liquid nails. Everything is very secured.

[@scottmccloud9029]

@@JasonJensenTrains I totally understand. Great work.

[@michaelimmig7230]

Absolutely fantastic work, Jason! But I really wonder how you will be able to continue that fine work at the back of the layout in those hard to reach areas? Would it not be better to work from the back to the front?

[@tommakofski7164]

Jason where do you get your details from?

[@dieseldude6976]

I am so impressed with your layout and products. Do you use a particular commercial product for leaves, or do you make your own? Thanks, Kennedy

[@rwissbaum9849]

Jason, at 3:39 in your video, you show a brief glimpse of a building to the right of the roadway and just this side of the lift bridge. I LOVE the corrugated metal roof you put on that building! Did you cover that in a video? And if so, can you point me to the video? The sign on the back side of the building says Pendelton Marine, but this is NOT the same building that you built in video #20 (9-May-2019).

[@user-nx8tk1pp5o]

Amazing modelling. Especially like the N scale items. Got a question, so I tried the Army Matte you recommended however it came out satiny rather than flat like I usually get when I use either Dullcote or Tamiya flat. I even coated one boxcar door with Army and one with Tamiya flat and I could tell the difference. I followed the instructions so I am wondering if I just a bad batch?

[@spaceyrat]

If I ever happen upon a shrink ray, I know where I will be vacationing.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

lol, thank you so much!!! 👍

[@jbergenudd]

Don’t know if I asked on another video. But thought of this with the trees. Is it autumn all over? Or do you plan to change the seasons going from one end to the other?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

It is autumn over the entire layout. Thanks so much for watching!!!

[@johnschutt9187]

Where did you get all the detail parts - cinder block, trash can, pallets, etc? Thank you.

[@daviemaclean61]

This is the reason (well one of them) that a layout is never done! ;-)

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I hope it is never done because I wouldn’t know what to do if it was finished. Thanks for watching! 👍

Have you started on the upper level scenery yet?

[@caldwellbutler236]

Does this railroad have a name? I kitbash custom locomotives and am itching to make something for this gorgeous railroad.

The railroad is called the Francis Marn and Southern . Named after my grandfather who got me into the hobby.
