Model railroad in living room

[hjhuk555]

Do you have any instructions for setting this up?

[biddlybongbong]

if that falls off...

[fishingman636]

thats pretty cool i also saw a lot of other videos that were pretty cool thats what i want when i grow up

[xBabyDassWassup]

aww cool. I want one!

[mjtunstall1976]

that looks scary!!! but cool tracks!!!

[alexiswkd]

Thats really kwl

[MsBigredone]

Great work man!

[jonny99gt40]

Thank you.

[Twisted548]

Hope it doesn't derail often...

[massiforo]

It compliments for your job. Truly they are admired what you have made. You remove a curiosity to me, exists a system because the train it does not fall or it derails?

[jonny99gt40]

@massiforo Sorry for late reply.

There is no system to catch a falling train. The track needs to be accurate to prevent derailments.

[jazzybazzy34]

very sharp turn at 2:16

[MrSelectrix]

Not afraid of derailing?

[type2moo]

you seem to be very trusting with your trains i would all ways worrey that it might fall off

[rayman4449]

This is sweet Nice work!

[Kritijo]

Great Very good thats amazing :-o Very Very good idea 5*

[jonny99gt40]

@Kritijo Thanks

[legendofwayne]

Cool.

[ReadyOars]

this is genius.

[jonny99gt40]

Thanks

[trainfart]

Excellent, track lighting looks absolut fantastic!!

[jonny99gt40]

Thank you

[strafrag1]

I always thought an LGB wall layout would be great around a bar area. Locomotives pulling flat cars with drinks, etc.

[caltrain2]

@strafrag1 here there is a sushi bar like that its so much fun

[strafrag1]

Thanks for answering back. When I was a kid growing up in NYC there was a restaurant called "Hamburger Express" which had Lionel trains with flat cars that held dishes and served you your burger and fries. My dad took me there a-lot!

[caltrain2]

wow in spian ( my family lives there) there was a bar with a massive lgb layout it did not serve you but it was still super cool

[strafrag1]

Sounds like a real fun place. I'm building a new Maerklin layout now & enjoying it much! Cheers! Peter

[ThePaperworldtv]

my dad and i want to do something like this,train layout.

[nicktheqracefan]

alls i got to say is that was cool

[raindown4ever]

i like how theres no sleepers :)

[ryan123004]

the track came out great! can you explain how you suspended the train @2:30 and what you mean by "run on track lighting with halogen bulbs" means?

[jonny99gt40]

Thank you.

you can see details on the slideshow " Some Pictures " You will find it on my channel.

And i will change the description any day soon.

[csx4402]

this is a fav 5*

[chloemorganchloe]

Hello! I live in England and am hoping to have a model train running around my shop, but I don't know the first thing about it! I would like to have it at eye-level, but am worried about doorways getting in the way of the continuous circuit!? Do you have any tips or advice, or know of any useful websites?

Thank you!

Chloe

[jonny99gt40]

Thanks for comment. Eye-level is a problem because of the doors as you say. I would lift it above the doors to avoid this. Websites? I'm not sure, I never found any when I built mine, and that's mainly the reason why I started on my project... Have a good evening:)

[tusharpc]

wow this is sipmly awesum..im also working on a similar project..but right now still in design stage! i liked ur idea of using transparent supports that makes it very elegant and dosent destroy the room's decore! can i pls know what you have used for tracks? they dont seem the regular kind.

[jonny99gt40]

Thanks for your comment! The rails are stainless steel, 4mm round bar. Good luck on your project!

[Nightfly1957]

nice idea

[jakedukesage863]

WOW! I want one!!! awesome job!!

[T0mahawk3r]

Excellent idea! Great!

[marshmallower]

I WOULD SHIT MY PANTS IF I WERE IN THAT TRAIN! God that is amazing, very intelligent! Nice work! 5 Stars!

[WeAreTheWorld7]

Well done!

A great idea!

[SalocinTEN]

Wow! This is just excellent! I think Nate Berkus and the other guys on the Home Channel would be jealous.

[Pimpedoutrides7293]

this is awesome. I've always wanted to do something like this when I'm older. I'm impressed.

[hamieone]

Nice work. This is HO right? Im still working on the wife, I want to bust a hole in a wall and go between a couple rooms but no luck yet

[computerjantje]

Very very creative and well made and nice video of it also. very impressive. I am jalous :)

[shredmarmalade]

I'm very impressed, excellent work!!

[mecrazy5]

hows the wife?

[PR0GN0SIS]

No comment! To risky!

[jrisener]

OMG!  Speechless...

[norskjo]

what about derailment?

[premiedusten]

Yes, it may be a problem!

[pjm5678]

it looks like its floating at 1:03 :-D

[Azaman2009]

you have a great many plants.

[TheNewDorkTimes]

question: how the CRAP did you do that thing where it appeared to go over thin air at 1:14??? and secondly, i agree with WilbertVereAwdry, no roadbed would scare me(that it would fall) good vid though

[Howie47]

I did the same one time. Only I had one of those spiral track thingies in the corner. That came down to a table top, switch yard. That was real impressive and exciting. Your either single or old. LOL

[MARKLINMAN1]

Man that is nice, thats what i want to do in my bedroom!

[omnibus360]

put dcc on em and then run 2-3 trains at a time

[kezug]

Very nice setup. I like how you have the track floating overhead. I did something similar in my son's room. Check it out.

[NolanWhite]

its cool that you are using the way you are powering the decor track light off of the rails that the train runs on.

[WilbertVereAwdry]

if i ever did that (which i hope to some day) I would never put a long piece of track up there without a roadbed like you did. Frankly, that would scare the shit out of me (that they would fall)! Great, amazing job!

[jonny99gt40]

Thank you.

[fluffy85226]

sic dude i am defentily doing that to my freakin house sic

[yesilike101]

love your layout, smooth running track, how you can thru the cabinets.

[HoraShadow]

Very nice

[osamanaman]

it's fantastic, congratulations.

but i wonder that what did you use as a track material ?? and how can you made ?

[jonny99gt40]

Thank you.

Its stainless steel.

Made?

[Heihachi73]

Are they all Lima cars? I had an identical 4-wheel Coke van which was accidentally stood on and both axle holders (real word?) on one side were snapped off. It now has a set of bogies from a Bachmann car and runs better than before!

[TrainDr101]

"Bogies" or "Trucks" are proper terms. Bogie is more European, & Truck s more American. Both are interchanged frequently in America.

[highlanepaul]

very original jonny but i think my missus would have something to say about it if i suggested doing something similar...........??

[jonny99gt40]

I know. That`s why i didn`t mention anything about trains when i began building my home lighting.

[trickshot11]

Nice!!!

[ay76]

Great stuff.Looking forward to that video.Many thanks.Great raiway.

[ay76]

Wow!!Now this just goes to show you can put a layout anywhere.Have you had an accidents with anything coming off the track??Very ingenious idea for a railway.Great video too.Thank you.

[jonny99gt40]

Thank You.

Fortunately there have been few accidents,but one time i managed to start a train with instant full power in a curve.About fifteen cars derailed,and it took me several hours and a lot of glue to repair them

[ay76]

Thank you for info.I have another question for you.What scale are the trains,HO? And how did you get the idea for running the trains around the halogen light track?Would you be able to do a video with the camera on board the train at all please?

Regards

AY76

[jonny99gt40]

I got the idea when a train passed by my house, while i was reading a track lighting commercial.I tought it wold be fn for guests in my house to watch a train suddenly appear on the wall.

It ws also an interesting challenge to construct a model railroad track that looks like a common home lighting.

I have yet to find a small enough camera to fit on a car. Though i plan to make such a video.

The scale is H0 1:87

[jonny99gt40]

Takk.

Di2en fikk litt for høy fart. Den går ellers veldig stille.

Nohaben har også alt for høy fart i avvik,

men den måtte ha full gass (12 volt) for å klare å trekke toget.

[TrainDr101]

This is one of those projects that is caused by the momentum of similar genious works that transfers the momentum of creativity to another who is truly intrigued by another's work to kepp that creative momentum going. I have been intrigued in this way by your creative work

[TrainDr101]

I noticed a set of AT&SF power in the yard- 2 warbonnets (C40-8Ws or C44-9Ws?)& 2 or 3 yellowbonnets (SD40-2s?).What are they & by whom?

[jonny99gt40]

Kato GE C44-9W Santa Fe

Mehano EMD SD 40 AT&SF

Mehano EMD FP 45 AT&SF

Mehano ALCO Century G 28 AT&SF

[TrainDr101]

Nice lash-up of power. Especially the FP45.

[TrainDr101]

Very ingenious way of conceiling everything but the trains.

[jonny99gt40]

Thank you.

[lagunastv]

denne var jo bare helt råtøff da! det er bra filmet også men noe redigering må det jo ha blitt etter dette.

[jonny99gt40]

Greit å ha en bror som er dataekspert

[Thaxythax]

Cool! But doesn't the NSB Nohab Di3 wight a lot? This is scale HO? I haven't seen the Di5 and Di3 or those B3 wagons in Z-scale..

[jonny99gt40]

Thanks.

I used the Di3 locomotive(H0)to determine the distance between the crossties. I wanted as few of them as possible.Heavier locomotives must lose weight before they can run on the track.

[mitchboy16]

lol

[PCo622]

Hello Sir. I am very impressed with this concept of layout building. I have been in the hobby for many years and it is an intriguing idea. What is the transparent material that you used? Arylic? Plexiglass? How thick? Thank you. Excellent work!

[jonny99gt40]

Thank you.

The transparent crossties are made of plexiglass. Fixed with glue.

5x20x60 millimeter(wall)

5x20x45 millimeter(bridge)

[santafelover1313]

a light dimmer switch to controll the speed unusual but cool!!!

[santafelover1313]

are the engines dcc

[jonny99gt40]

It is not dcc.

I use the light dimmer switch to control the speed of the engine.

[santafelover1313]

what is holding the track to ceiling

[jonny99gt40]

Fishing Line

[thegreek2213]

Better make sure that baby stays on the rails!!

I wish I could do that in my house but I don't think my parents would like it.

[Darkstick27]

Brilliant!

[Owentheguitarist666]

MINT likeing it lol

[DrCharlie89]

WOW, Awesome long train!!! 5 stars!!!

[NickelPlate759]

Is this Ho or O scale; it's hard to tell. Also, are those steel rails above the lighting, and what is keeping them in gauge other than the acrylic supports? Beautiful home, btw.

[jonny99gt40]

Thanks for your comment. The scale is H0. The rails are stainless steel,four millimeter round bar.And the gauge is kept in place by the rigidity of the rails.

[ricanboy83]

THAT IS HOTT HOTT HOTT...love the way the track is around the plants...beautiful

[pendolinofreek]

I would hate to think if it de-railed lol

nice vid :D

[whare1]

Great Vid mate itsd nice to see other concepts for the use of model railways Great Work

[zolder55]

Its very nice Y have a big livingroom but my wife don,t lyke it

[Marillionmad]

omg! did u get ur wife drunk or sommat 2 let u do tht? lol

[MaHaalik]

hva har du brukt til skinner, Peco?

[jonny99gt40]

Stemmer. Peco på gardinbrett og i kjøkkenskap

[goddamnthatsfast]

Fantastisk flott video! Veldig diskrè bane...

[Norlink]

Very Nice!

[nallenoff]

Is this a independent track, or is it connected in anyway to another layout?

[jonny99gt40]

It is an independent track, only running through the kitchen.

[mukke25]

great idee
