Realistic HO Scale Vehicles & MOW - Large HO Train Layout Build - Ep 20

In this episode I go over the details of the cool littles vehicles I got a couple weeks back from ebay. I do also get a tad bit of scenery done. Overall not much done at all this episode, I do know. BUT. Friday will be a crazy video so be ready! Also one last thing, since this Is the 20th episode I changed a couple aspects of how I do these videos. The goal is to keep growing and getting better for you guys!

That was awesome. I laughed, and am humbled as well. One thing that may go unnoticed by some, but I thought was fantastic, was the realistic spacing of your tracks. It appears as if over time, the railroad made some changes from its original design decades ago. The yard I work mostly has changed 3 times in 24 years. Some tracks removed, some switches removed, keeping up with the times. This is the storytelling that many lack, but you nailed perfectly. Kudos, and thanks for the shout out.

[@TopRailroad]

I’m honored that you liked it! Funny thing is I learned most railroading tips from your informative videos. Your expertise & videography make for next level learning 👍🏼 Thanks for everything man!

[@therailfan8947]

Love the name DJ for the little yard worker! Definitely fits.

[@BNSF1458]

Nice! Those vehicles look really nice. Walthers is honestly one of my favorite brands, they make so much stuff, its budget-friendly and looks really good. Keep up the good work! Can't wait for friday.

[@TopRailroad]

I agree, you can never go wrong with Walthers. Always appreciate it man 👍🏼

[@therailfan8947]

For sure! They’re one of my favorite brands for kits, scenery, vehicles, and freight cars.

[@legotech101]

If walthers ever goes under model railroading is over

[@debbiemilka2251]

I really like your methodical approach to scenery and your layout in general. Your actions are carefully thought out and gradually implemented which keeps the interest high every step of the way. Too much development makes it too busy for the sake of making it look busy. You are doing great !

[@georgiasunbelt]

Nice scenic Ed area…agree static king is nice to have…vehicles are cool…need to invest in more of them myself

[@paullewis1814]

Like the buildings you were using in your little town and the grain bins and gas tanks very nice

[@ThundercatDarklion]

Awesome!!!! Those modern Ho Scale trucks were first made by Boley before Walther's added the vehicles to their Scene Master line. I have some of them with the Boley brand name I've bought before Walther's started offering them under their Scene Master line. Most of them are the newer Internationals and Chevys along with the older Late 1980s - 1990s International cabs with the boxy look. While the Newer International cabs have streamlined curves. Boley also made modern Ho Scale firefighting vehicles.

[@TopRailroad]

Wow I never knew that. Boley sure did a good job designing them. Thanks for the cool info!

[@mixtec53]

💯💯💯

[@TopRailroad]

Much love 🤙🏼

[@gacj2010]

This is so fun watching you develop this project and letting us in on it with you .. Feels like we are there with you ..

Thank you very much 😄

[@justinbricker9491]

[@lasnow805]

Yes Walters has everything you need to bring your layout to life, but the prices will kill you

[@TopRailroad]

Things can definitely add up fast

[@elleryparsons5766]

Slow n Easy Don’t Rush what you are trying to Achieve on your Layout.

[@TopRailroad]

I agree. Thank you :)

[@Aberdude8]

I got a shout out! Woo-hoo!😄 Thanks TR! 😻🌲🚚🚂👍

[@TopRailroad]

You earned it 😁

[@adtion1]

Fantastic layout

[@nordictram]

Nice video. I enjoyed watching it :) - Best regards, Nordic Tram

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Great video mate. Those Walthers road vehicles look great I can see why they are so popular. Also great job on the static grass looks great. - Nicholas.

[@therailfan8947]

The layout is coming along really well! Your videos are a huge inspiration to me when building my layout, and I really appreciate how you show how to do the things you make. Thanks again!

[@TopRailroad]

I appreciate it man 😁

[@shawnpowell5876]

Another great video TR and I've got the same M.O.W. trucks for my layout! You've done a nice job with the static grass and the extra pieces for bushes looks awesome! This layout is really shaping up nicely! Thanks again for sharing your videos on this series. I look forward to seeing them as well as the new ones!

[@TopRailroad]

I always appreciate the kind words Shawn! Thank you

[@hadishd-fr3wh]

Great layout!

[@davidbrown4823]

Great Vehicles.

[@MrJack-uk2hp]

4:41 I see the the Dairy Queen from your old layout!

[@TopRailroad]

Good eye! 😁😎

[@MSRTA_Productions]

[@bentontrains2076]

i love it ceep up the good work

[@troyasiana5762]

I am starting a railroad build but have no time or planning ability. I just want to lay some track for my son and I to play with. I contacted several people they want over 900 bucks for a train plan thats not including the benchwork!! which is about 2 to 3k for the size room I have. My question to Top Railroad, as I take extensive notes on the materials you use.. Did you screw the plywood onto the plastic shelves or use some other method? If you used screws can you show or tell what type of screw you used?? thank you for your time also thank you for inspiring me to get off my butt.

[@mikeberthold1593]

Hey you forgot to add that the bucket truck Outriggers work also

[@mikeski01221964]

I like the work you do on your layouts. I have a question about the telephone poles. Do you or others add wire to them to make them more realistic ? Just wondering.

[@TopRailroad]

I do plan on adding the wires and all later on. I know if I do it now, my clumsy self will end up clipping it while working 😂 Sp better do to it when the scenery is close to done

[@justinbricker9491]

I agree TR

[@AotearoaAviation]

Very Nice! Subbed!

[@fredsmith6758]

That was one thing I didn't get yet was the static grass applicater. But I am working on it.

[@TopRailroad]

Took me awhile to get one cause it’s a more expensive accessory

[@haroldwilkes6608]

My layout consisted of a fewsmall dioramas like this, a lot of detail in a small area while the rest looked post-apocalyptic. Was fun though. Will you be weathering those trucks?

[@TopRailroad]

That’s awesome! Yes some areas on the layout are pretty baron, it’ll take time to get to all spots haha. And eventually I will for sure 👍🏼

[@dalgofficial]

Good job on your videos

[@SD45-ET44AC]

Do the jacks on the bucket truck slide out/down

[@TopRailroad]

They do! I just checked, wish I knew that before filming my video haha

[@blakestrainsandgames8732]

Where is your city going to be on your layout?

[@TopRailroad]

It’ll be based on a town in northern Colorado. Called Loveland

[@blakestrainsandgames8732]

Ok thanks for responding

[@awr1050]

I know other people have different opinions, but I think the videos should be longer. What you could do is just do a video every Sunday or Monday so that you have everything that you did all week all in one video. Since you do 2 videos a week, that makes the videos double the length. Plus, since life is busy at times, you only have to worry about getting 1 video out a week other than multiple. Again, just an opinion, but I believe the majority of people would agree. Maybe you could do a community pole to see if people would like that better 👀. Aside from that point; your layout is really coming along nicely. I’m sure you plan on doing this, but weathering the vehicles and buildings and eventually the rolling stock would be a very, very great thing for the layout. Also, on the BN unit, you could re-number it and put the BNSF lettering under the road number just like on ex-BN units you can see today. Thank you for the great content and hope to see you take my suggestions into consideration! 👍

[@TopRailroad]

I really appreciate the constructive criticism. The poll is something I’ll probably do sometime to see what the majority vote is. What do you think is the ideal time for a video? And I do need to get some BNSF lettering on my engine soon haha

[@awr1050]

Your videos are usually around 5 minutes, so I would say at least 10 minutes would be cool. I know that varies, though. But, that is understandable. Thanks for the consideration.

[@Badeumus]

If you use DCC on your layout what system?

[@TopRailroad]

I use NCE Power cab as my DCC. It’s honestly the best, especially price wise

[@johnsterling7420]

I use.matchbox and hotwheels ho scale too.expensive .

[@codyrapp7253]

Do you think DJ trains will watch this video?

[@TopRailroad]

It would be cool if he did!

[@djstrains]

@@TopRailroad LOL, just did! Life has been very busy lately, and that figure is in WAY better shape than me right now. #goals

[@ronware2099]

3 axle and it's a bed not a bucket. Nice though

[@cbgaming6358]

Q: where is your orange desele

[@TopRailroad]

I got it in its box for now. I’ll probably take it out again soon
