ZOMG! A Big boy and what I presume is a BR locomotive on the same line? wow!

And powerful engines too. I've got a small model railway in my room, and my F2 can't pull a 5-car train up a grade of at most 3.9%!

[bellajohn]

[digimaks]

Wow, impressive and smooth!

I wish someday I will have my own home with a large room or basement to make some masterpiece like this!

I have a small size- minimum oval right now.

[RMS55]

digimaks, Thanks for you comment. We all started of with small layouts and over the years it will grow if you maintain your interest.

[rockguitarist946]

how big does the curve have to be for the big boy?

[RMS55]

rockguitarist946, The BigBoy can handle a min. 360mm radius curve, but the bigger the better it looks.

[rockguitarist946]

that goes for n scale right? cuz thats the scale im using

[RMS55]

rockguitarist946, John's layout is HO

[rockguitarist946]

i know, but do you know what the minimum radius for the n scale big boy is?

[RMS55]

rockguitarist946, Sorry I no nothing about N scale products.

[rockguitarist946]

thats ok. i'll go on the website where i get all(most) of my n scale stuff and look for it.

MaerklinNL, The track is "k" track.

[RMS55]

raye4x4, Thanks for your comments. The electronics are standard Marklin items and the hill climb is a 5% grade.

[Johnnytotal]

Great video, wish to see the final model with hills and green grass. But what a job to make all of the carpentry. How is the room more expensive than the track/trains ? Thanks for sharing the video with us.

[RMS55]

Johnnytotal, Thanks for you comment. I will post regular updates of this layout. The train room is part of a new house.

[WilliamWingGW]

Thanks!

[WilliamWingGW]

Thats so cool, how much does something like that cost when it's finished?

"I wanna have one too, mommy!"

[RMS55]

WilliamWingGW, Glad you like it. The cost isn't in the trains but the room to house it all.

[boxerwain]

truly amazing! i only have a small set, and it looks like a minature, minature railway in comparison to this. great work fella's

[RMS55]

boxerwain, thanks for your comments, size doesn't always count :)

[Norlink]

That is rely cool! Mostly German trains (?)

[RMS55]

Thanks Norlink, All trains are Marklin and German outline with the only exception being the BigBoy which is USA outline

[bipi0580]

[RMS55]

Thanks bipi0580 and VerySlowBoat for your interest, the extents of the layout are 11.5x5.8m, total track length is 210m

[VerySlowBoat]

Thanks for the video! It is very interesting to see the layout before it is completed and wow, it is massive!
