Family Train Layout: episode 2 - install foam scenery board

[@robertmooney6480]

I don't understand all the negative comments. If you don't like the video, move on. I am absolutely certain there are folks out there getting some great beginners information. Thanks Model Railroader, keep em' comin'.

[@dsdave07]

Absolutely. Go watch a wild hog hunt if you don't like constructive topics.

[@mikel4510]

The problem is that bad information is being mixed with the good. When you drop your drawers in public don't be surprised when someone swats your behind.

[@NunyaBusiness-xl7gh]

or sticks a penis in it.......just sayin.

[@floydrandol2731]

I think this is a great beginner layout.

[@bboomer1948]

I like all the comments from 'the experts', but David is doing a fine job. Thorough and attention to detail.

[@04fys513]

This video was helpful to me. I am building my first train layout, and definitely appreciate suggestions from others with experience in doing this.

[@ZakWolf]

One of my old model railroad layouts used a similar grass mat, and it's definitely good for starting out with. But nowadays I just paint the insulation foam in an earth-like color and sprinkle on the green ground cover materials on the areas where I want grass, and earth-colored ground cover material in areas where I want dirt.

[@surerockco.models3452]

Pink foam is the cleanest item in model railroading.

[@K4JW]

I think Im gonna build a small Christmas layout this year, this is a very nice one the MR guys are doing.

[@Eclipse1988]

I enjoy the background slap bass music in between scenes... it's like watching Seinfeld build a train set! 😂

[@edwardlewis5967]

Thank You so much for the Great Tips

[@gerlandkent6377]

[the, builder supply center were im. at dont keep enough of the blue green and pink foam board because of all of the house building thats going on out here. the o ly foam board that the building center has is the 2" foam board that has the aluminum backing on both sides. so thats what ive. been buying for ho-scale model railroad. it all works out.] again, thank, you for youre video.👍

[@wondersisters4869]

If the cement is applied to a chipboard and the green mat. Is the procedure for gluing them and removing wrinkles and air bubbles the same? Thank you.

[@LeonKolenda]

I have a lot of foam to cut and shape into scenery pieces, So, I was wondering, I have some Home Brown Latex paint, Could I mix that paint with a white glue, say PVA type to paint my scenery pieces the base coat and have it seal it also, so the next few colors won't soak into the foam so much, Also, can you paint Acrylic ontop of home Latex paint, with no issues of deforming details in the foam?

[@LiquidPortalDigital]

I think most of you are missing the point of the video. It says "Family Train Layout" - which is implying that they are using materials and techniques that a family with the most basic train set can build together with ease and little skill.

[@kanthetivamsikrishnavarma6801]

Very help full

[@JoshGamingZone]

is the Dynaflex 230 foam friendly

[@angusdassler3052]

Not bad for an easy family layout. I am going to do without the plywood and just use 2-inch thick insulfoam.

[@MrNoUsername]

Is insulation foam just normal polystyrene foam? I don't really understand

[@RFDelie]

If you hold the blade to a lighter for a few seconds it cuts right through the foam.

[@lorenzosvideos7920]

Quando arriva l'episodio 3?

[@ravzir]

sound disappears from 5:49... wtf?

[@Khether0001]

Man, I think if perhaps you had rolled slowly the mat over the foam, keeping it stretched on the running threshold with the metal ruler, it might have come out smoother, idk...

[@ouachitariverrat]

why use glue??? carpet tape works just as well. if you ever need to remove or remodel just peel it up.

[@roaenokesyzlak7828]

Just a freindly reminder, this is a basic table style layout intended for children to use. There are many ways to skin a cat, so to speak, and with that said, there are a bunch of tools and methods to built it. This video shows just one of those methods.

[@pmsteamrailroading]

David.... Has anyone mentioned your hand shaking. You may wish to talk to your doctor.

[@Northeast_Mainiac]

pmsteamrailroading it’s because he’s applying pressure...... 🙄

[@N05L31]

Is the foam completely necessary or can this be done without it?

[@didierpeereboomvoller3221]

If you lay tracks directly on a wood frame like this, it becomes a giant soundboard. If you want to reduce the sound, you need something like foam or cork.

[@jennymaeorteza9724]

nice video , If anyone else trying to find about how to make model train layouts try *Awsomic Railroaders Club* (search on google)? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 got amazing success with it.

[@oliking9819]

Im striping my old board that once was in a brm magasine

[@Ken_McIntosh]

One problem with this video is the pink extruded foam board or even the blue extruded foam board is not available in many areas of the U.S. I can not find any extruded foam board in my area of California.

[@dandelionstars]

even at Home Depot? is insulation panels, like for homes

[@manawadugachaminda1878]

I have spent months investigating diy railroad layouts and found an awesome resource at Jareks Hobby Club (look it up on google)

[@F59PHItrainfreak]

Say glue, not 8:24

[@willllllll-r1f]

hello 18 inch radius maximum, what a waste of time

[@rfields997]
