Tiny HO Train Layout Build - 4x6 Model Railroad Part 3 Finally Complete!

[@oskarvalance3041]

That is one awesome little layout. Hard to believe it's only a 4'x6'. So much going than just trains going in circles. As we say in Texas, "You done good". That little kiddo is going to be happy. From Texas.

[@ytzpilot]

This is far better than anything you could purchase from a store, enjoyment for years to come

[@MaxQ10001]

I love this down to earth approach. After watching enough of the master builders, making layouts indistinguishable from reality, it’s easy for newcomers to give up before they even get started. It’s a model, it’s a hobby, and having fun is the only important part. Now I got the urge to make one myself.

[@dbtech7914]

Good job on the layout. I like the 3D printed trusses and pretty creative idea to clump up the grass to give some texture to the scenery.

[@FelineSublime]

4x6 is about the most I can work with in my apartment and this looks amazing. Would love to see a track plan and maybe adapt scenery to be a mix of stuff from places I've lived in Texas and Arizona over the years.

[@CharlesBarfield-de4zc]

Another amazing build Harrison! Keep up the great work!

[@fredmcg9442]

Awesome job! I bet that was one happy kid.

[@kreika294]

Awesome layout! I bet someone was grinning ear to ear! What a great gift! I was hoping you’d give us a lowlight bit so we could admire the lights in buildings. 😁

[@stevelemieux985]

very talented gentleman well done , I'm sur he'll love it

[@jonathangreenlees4772]

Looks great, Harrison!👍😎

[@MMRails]

Absolutely amazing! Love it. The fact that you’re posting a reaction video means the recipient loves it too. This is definitely your calling. The S in SMT now stands for Santa.

[@NotGavin]

This layout looks incredible, I'm sure the kid you're making it for is very happy with it. Great work as usual!

[@spudforyou4124]

Love your layout. Looks great. I built an HO scale train on a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the 80's. I made a switchboard using toggle switches from Radio Shack so I wouldn't have to go around the table. No internet then just magazines to get a design. I sold it along time ago.

[@brianroach3048]

This is my motivation to build a layout for grandson. This layout.

[@KPrime31]

Absolutely amazing job!!! I'll pay you to help me with mine! 🤣 You make it look so easy.

[@ModelTrainer-s1g]

Nice layout it’s looks a lot better with all scenery and color hope the guy likes it and I actually start a base to a train maybe layout I might build and try not to fail again.

[@alanwbelcher]

Great job, Harrison! I bet it was well received.

[@jimmyjames2022]

When I was 6yrs we had an O-gauge, 3-rail track layout on a ping pong table with extensions. Lots of switching and houses/details but no relief in the layout, all flat. Switching controls were at the main control board. I remember it had a conveyor log loader, a milk car and a steam engine and other engines and cars. I loved it, then we moved to a place with no room, and that was that, so now I live vicariously on YT channels. Nice to see you build a pretty and functional layout for your friend's child.

[@voltare2amstereo]

DCC would be a nice addition can run different directions and speeds, cool though.

[@Quince828]

Looks great. A creative track plan with lots of interest in a small space. Watching you do scenery so easily and quickly it’s obvious that you have an artistic bent.

[@reconphil]

I think you would have a more economical result by mixing the glue with some water, then adding a few ounces of liquid dish soap in a sprayer. It might be quicker too. Otherwise, great project & result.

[@tomvarano3283]

Wow very impressive. A big difference from when my dad and I built a layout in the mid 70’s. 4x8 sheet of plywood 1x4 and 2x4 frame. A roll of simulated real grass paper. I still have it in my basement, the board , all buildings scenery and trains. All the boxes fell apart but now it’s all in plastic bins. Most likely when I retire I will get it all going again. I really enjoy your channel. Also the Olds 98 Regency. I have a 1969 Olds 98 Holiday Coupe.👍

[@heirandspare]

Great job, and I hope the kid enjoyed his Christmas gift. 🎅👍

[@flo_h_96]

I really enjoy this videos where you create a layout. Seeing it develop from nothing into such great looking layout with so many details is always a great joy

[@modelrailroader5619]

Yeah, ballasting…no shortcuts are there? Great little layout, nice job!

[@Shawn4468]

G'day from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 Amazing job with layout. One tiny detail should have included a level crossing where the road met the track. Again though Amazing work 👏

[@majortomtogc]

You are a machine! I'll bet your customer will love it!

[@TristanKleopfer]

You should go to Iowa for your next trip

[@VarneyTrainMan]

Very nice, great job plus it was nice to see Chloe working along side you on it, she did an excellent job as well, you taught her well my friend, are you still going to move your big layout ? Cheers

[@therandomtransformersanima6236]

I’m planning on making a small OO9 briefcase layout so watching people make scenery like this is very helpful

[@modelrailfan37]

OO9 is awesome, I also plan on making a small Talyllyn layout! Are you modelling anything in particular?!

[@Rollacoastertycoon]

Great idea hav fun

[@jcure]

I had a girlfriend that was working on one of those. Have fun. Get good tools.

[@elleryparsons2433]

Nicely Done Harrison.

[@SMTMainline]

Thank you!

[@elleryparsons2433]

@ welcome👍👍👍👍.

[@bw6378]

Looks awesome! Someone will be getting a really nice gift. Thanks for the video!

[@DGHodgson-o8z]

Hi Harrison, thats a fantastic first layout, the time lapse on your camera was so fast it looked like there were two of you working on it. great video as always.

[@zandertnt8538]

Rub a washer over the rails to smooth them out after cleaning so it runs even better. I would pick up Lionel’s go scale polar express if you’re looking for something new for your layout. Great job on this layout

[@ColinPotts-u6f]

What a fantastic little layout friend. Colin in the UK 🇬🇧

[@shaunothebeast387]

I’m gonna be sending you a video of my model railway

[@Danielrs3]

Have you ever been to The Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby Show at the Big E Exposition Center in Springfield, Massachusetts ? it's the largest Model RR show in North American. There are more than 350 Vendors with over 1000 tables and probably 50 layouts.

[@azzir325]

You do amazing work, son. Congratulations!

[@joesask857]

nice

[@michaellorilemond1631]

I love trains. I love your channel and your KZbin videos.😘🤗

[@terrytraina6080]

Fantastic job !!!!!

[@Rollacoastertycoon]

Great work amazin!

[@keithblevins5093]

Awesome job as always. I'm sure the boy was pleased.

[@alexmagallanes3987]

Great job, my favorite was the fact that you can 3D print a lot of stuff for train layouts, with that I think the bridge was a great touch.

[@rodneystewart8958]

I wish that I had the patience to build a layout

[@TonyFleetwood]

Outstanding work! Totally stealing the white glue static grass recipe!

[@SMTMainline]

I discovered it by accident when I spilled watered down glue on a field of freshly laid grass. When i started cleaning it up, it all clumped together and turned out really well.

[@jasontomica8938]

I was curious. I thought you were in the East Coast. For some reason, which part of canada are you in?And I like your train videos very nice.It's funny when you start each video you say well, folks​@@SMTMainline

[@TruTrains]

You really give me amazing ideas for Making awsome looking Train Layouts THX❤

[@DanihgamerYT]

For me too

[@JerseyBill-x9r]

What a great looking layout and Christmas was very special for someone. Jersey Bill

[@randallfawc7501]

That's cool as heck. Very creative!!!

[@Classictrainguy]

When I started watching your KZbin videos I always want to be like you and have a big KZbin channel but this video pushed me to build my first layout so I want to say thank you and keep making awesome videos👍🏆

[@kurtstrains]

LOVE IT. We need more younger people in the hobby, us old fogies won't be around forever :) Also if you need a job I will hire you to come ballast my layout lol...

[@KingVikinggamer1]

Don’t worry there are some younger people that I know that will carry on this legacy.

[@TheArdenwoodrailfan]

I’ve had a couple of broken engines, and thanks to you, I got them working! The first one is a N scale atlas 0-8-0, and I’m working on fixing a 1980s Bachmann GS-4

[@xandernicol3980]

That is so cool

[@markofthenorth8918]

Awesome channel great video keep them up make sure you like and subscribe thank you for your support

[@ronaldrondeau7870]

Great job Harrison well done layout

[@TrainManiacc]

I’ve been waiting for this!!!

[@TruTrains]

Same😊

[@DennisLora2001]

Amazing video SMT Mainline ❤❤❤❤❤

[@SMTMainline]

I appreciate you watching!

[@DennisLora2001]

​@@SMTMainline You're welcome

[@005AGIMA]

That is fantastic. I've said it before, but this really gives hope to anyone suffering "tight space layout depression" like myself lol. Love your work. Subbed.

[@davidstrainsandlego]

I've been on a binge of your videos lately, so it was cool to see this show up in my feed

[@ronaldbrooks5982]

I am sure the young man will love it as well.

[@DanihgamerYT]

You the best usa modeller😂🎉

[@KingVikinggamer1]

I loved how u added lights I would love to see more tips on wiring.

[@itsmecat2]

13:21 it looks like there was a tornado:)

[@SMTMainline]

I could see it

[@normancoreyBuildingTrains]

1 thing you could do next time to one of the locos is put a small 6 pole swith somewhere hidden on it to reverse polarity the motor some one train can operate in the opposite direction

[@RailfanUS]

Fabulous 👏

[@northamericanrailfilms3025]

Awesome!

[@SMTMainline]

Thanks!

[@Lil_Pennsy]

This was a nice way end the week❤💯. This makes me miss working on my old layout😢

[@harrygleed423]

I really enjoyed this video! I think you showed that perfection is not the answer, if you look at the real world bushes grow ad hoc, track ballast is adhoc in colour. You have taken a rough and ready format to ballasting, painting and grassing the layout, this then shows a realistic layout.

[@RailroadRailfan500]

Great layout build, Harrison. When you applied the ballast right over the turnouts and put glue on them, my heart stopped for a moment, just knowing how hard it is free those moving parts!

[@jessenoklahoma]

Amazing work Harrison 😍 they should have years if fun 🤗

[@Kanikalion]

Keep up the great work! My life has been in a pretty transitory status for a lot of valid reasons this last year or two. But, when it all gets settled down, I got a whole list of SMT videos to go back to to put my boxes of trains to use xD

[@m1sterhockey]

You are truly a genius!!

[@normancoreyBuildingTrains]

Another great video

[@HunterHoward-jy4et]

Awesome can wait for the next one!

[@Sk8music476]

Let’s go part3 last part🎉🎉❤

[@IanthatRailfanyt]

That’s cool

[@Levi-o5l]

😢 I've been dying morning to build one of those, but I don't have a set or anywhere to build it, so I'm always just sitting on the ground with a little circle and running my tran

[@garysprandel1817]

Nice job as always. I'm sure the young fella was over the moon Christmas eve or Christmas day

[@tylerspencer-1225]

Another SMT W

[@Tracksidetrainguy]

I love the layout, but I was just wondering the reason why you don’t do the crossings? Woodlands scenic and stuff sell wood crossing kits that would look great.

[@FrankDB61]

Nice job on the layout. I’m sure it was a big hit with your friend’s son. Great tip for making shrubs! And your girlfriend helping - she’s a keeper!

[@TheKingRacer007]

Well done, sir!

[@Rob-i1k4d]

I need to ask what do you use for your grass

[@johndixon-l1c]

Nice Job!!

[@vincentp.chianese2873]

Why not print in black or gray instead of white and then painting them?

[@personified5102]

Looks great and thankyou for sharing the progress.

[@ronotReal]

It looks really nice!

[@williamsantangelo]

Thank You Harrison, kool little layout! He'll like it, we do

[@arrowguy_173]

Looks great guys!

[@robertlucido3686]

I'm starting a new project on my layout. I'm planning on installing a trestle bridge on the HO scale level on my layout on the loop for the Green Lake and Telsa Pines railroad short-line oval. I'm going to make and post a video on KZbin soon. Also, I saw you received that package I sent you. Be sure to open and show it in your next unboxing video.

[@OzMOTO]

I love the way you appear to throw all the paint etc onto the layout and it always ends looking perfect. 😊

[@michaelyackovich155]

great job, those locos are great starter locos, not as detailed as Genisus ones but will get the job done, we sell them at the model rr shop i work at

[@paulbervid1610]

Looks great

[@metrotechguru5863]

Really nice job.

[@boovoudoun2661]

i liked the height you achieved in that corner mountain
