Mistakes to avoid when building your model train layout.

The sound of that slow-mo coal train is a thing of beauty! Great job

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

I agree!

[@soundman1950s]

Your layout has gotten huge! You've show a great deal of patience in your construction, something I sorely lack.

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

yeah, time and patience is the key

[@sgtcote1]

Oscar I just found your page and I'm looking foward to learning your tips. My layout is just a simple 4x8 but I have totes full of track amd switches to grow. Learning from others like yourself will be so helpfull, as I have zero artistic abilities.

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

Welcome aboard! let me know what you’d like to learn! let’s take the journey together

[@jamesburns0657]

You can still use the failed clay bricks for a dilapidated building, a failing retaining wall etc. Love the progress!!

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

Oh wow, i hadn't though of that! GREAT IDEA!!!

[@1800clyde]

That's going to be way-cool! Having multiple levels makes a layout so much more interesting. Thanks for sharing your work . . . very entertaining (especially when the pointy-finger makes an appearance!!!) 👈👉👇☝

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

You're very welcome! and thanks for watching!

[@williamorton7600]

Great video. I appreciate that you have your layout built, but are also adding to it.👍

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

Thanks for watching!

Looks like you got it all planned out. Nice track work,scenery and building placement. Keep up the good work. I’ll be following up.

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

plans sometimes change but it’s all about the journey. thanks for the kind words. swing by when you can.

[@railchief74]

That power station of yours looks so realistic man! Great layout update

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

Thank you very much!

[@SleeTheSloth]

GREAT MODEL RAILROAD!

Nice Tuscan K4!

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

thanks, come again soon!

[@milltown]

I really like your rocks and cliffs

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

thanks for the kind words. stay tuned and a have phase 2 of the layout that will include more rock work.

[@dagoodsoldier6715]

Have you thought about running your layout around the edges of the room and opening up the middle? That would allow you to run larger curves.

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

hey! love your layout by the way! I did at one time but the room isn’t big enough to do that and give me the space I wanted for buildings and structures.

[@dagoodsoldier6715]

[@bludragon77]

I want to kinda do a small one train scale layout before I get up to a big scale. To practice plaster and effects. One day I would love to do a horror movie one with the classic monsters

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

sounds interesting

[@daivdwalker2374]

How do you like the FastTrack? Do you need 2 run more feeder wires 2 power the whole layout ive heard the fast track doesnt distribute current well i dont know....so give me your professional opinion what you think im gunna build a layout and wondering what kind of track 2 use

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

I use terminal track every 8- to 10 pieces. I also keep feeder wires less than 24 inches long. haven’t had many issues at all.

[@daivdwalker2374]

@@oscarso-gaugetrains thanx 4 getting back to me

[@trainchef7870]

how did you make the brick walls of clay ? Im a beginner and trying to learn.

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

I took the basic concept in this KZbin tutorial and made it for brick walls. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYucn4SYf8anaqc

Hello from Branson

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

Hello there Mark, thanks for stopping by. hope you continue to enjoy the content. I’m usually there once a year 😉

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

But in real life bricks are never perfect that is one of the better things about modelling.. things stuff up just like in reality...

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

I’m slowly finding that to be true 😂

[@dennis2494]

We learn by making mistakes The brick wall pieces that didn't come out just right are perfect for marking WWII bombed out building ruins. .

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

yeah I just repurposed them.

[@hoppercar]

Like the o scale for the size....but don't like the third rail track, and the rolling stock is to toy like looking......not as detailed as the h.o.

[@oscarso-gaugetrains]

thank for sharing

Obnoxious bell sound. No thanks
