This video series, hosted by Michael Gross, will teach you the simple how-to workshop techniques you need to know to take an HO scale electric train set and make it a scenic model railroad. Well show you how to build a 4x8 model train table (benchwork) from plywood, lay sections of track, create easy realistic scenery using foam and paint, assemble model buildings, and wire your layout with a DC power pack. When youre done, youll have a railroad that operates well and looks real. Our techniques would work in N, O, S, G, or Z scale also. This video is scene 8, Scenery part 2 how-to.

  • @Xenomorph237 one thing you can do is use cooking foil, wrap it into a ball then unwrap it, then apply plaster to the dull side of the foil then once it has dried, peel off the foil, and you have a rock face!

  • Dammit he makes it look so easy....

  • i cheated and built my layout on a wooden board and I say "SCREW FOAM!!"

  • fuck this i want a real train

  • Dude, close your mouth

  • Looks great, & I haven't done a layout yet.... but why leave the track down and tape it? Can't you make the track layout & remove the track to avoid getting plaster, paint, foam, and/or ground cover all over it?

  • @TheHumanTank13 If You mean The Turf he Was Shaking Out Of Bottles It's From Hornby.com Look in SkaleScenics If Not Keep looking

  • Were Did You Purchace The Gravel Plant I Really Need It For My Cargo Train

  • @mrwolfboy234 I got mine from home depot, the best to get is polystyrene but as long as it's a dense, water resistant foam it should work fine.
