  • i know this was made in 06 how is the moisture holding up? i would have taken care of the walls first and for most. i see in this pictures water damage through the wall in several areas. So its been years?

  • @Stan92057 Actually, I started building the layout in 2003, and I haven't had any problems with moisture. As far as taking care of the walls goes, I can't. Same with the ceiling. Only improvements that I could do was add more lighting and lay the carpet on the floor. The reason for this is that I rent my townhouse and don't own it.

  • VERY VERY NICE !!!! I am new to all of this ....How much did all of this cost ??? So far I have bought the Heritage 2-10-2 DCC sound Loco. And Tech 6 Sound Controller and a Box of Kato Track...and Accurail rolling stock...I have a new house....and a lot of room. However I can't spen thousands of $. I want bench work like yours. ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE . THANKS.

  • @v6n4m0d4 The benchwork is from Seivers. It's all precut and predrilled and comes with all of the screws, bolts, etc. needed. Over the several years that I've been building the layout so far, it's cost a little over $4000.

  • Very nice. I was thinking of Siever's for benchwork and your video sold me on it. How tall were the legs, 40 or 48"? I see you used 2 layers of foam board rather than a cookie-cutter approach. Cookie cutter scares me since I'm not real comfortable with power tools. What was your reasoning for using foam? Thanks again really enjoyed your video -- good luck and keep us posted.

  • @55trains The legs are 48-inches since I have to go under the layout twice to get to the washer and dryer. Plus, the higher layout surface gives a more realistic view as I'm closer to ground level with the trains. As for my using 2 layers of foam, the track is all on the same level surface, but at the west end of the yard is going to be an underpass, which will require cutting into the "ground" for that.

  • @chatanugadotorg I can definatly see how your layout cost 4000 dollars. i built an

    HO garage layout thats about 20 feet long by 5 feet wide and had a simple track plan but it cost over 2000 dollars to build it all! After a while it sure does add up!

  • Wow! Excellent!! Gives me some great ideas!

    

  • i live in australia and i have trains go to bunnings just get wood

  • Try doing a Google search for "extruded polystyrene australia". I just tried it got quite a few hits.
