Medium Size On30 Layout in the Backyard
Loading...
Uploaded by grits3d on Oct 20, 2010
This layout is slightly larger than my first: a full 48" x 36". It started with an old bulletin board, with layers of pink foam added. The hills are made of Great Stuff spray foam, which worked perfectly -- It's easy to carve when dry, and very lightweight. No plywood, no nails, no plaster anywhere on the layout.
The trains are mostly Bachmann, of course. The 2-4-0 started life as a Forney, but with a tender [from Wiseman] it can take the 16" radius curves easily.
The video is longer than I expected, so if you don't like watching small trains go round in circles...

Your videos and your modeling are awesome! Great conversions of the rolling stock and the Forney-- what is the origin of the handsome 4-6-0?

For a small layout it is certain well done. However to also shows how much real sun light works on a well made model. The weathering was well done and on one box car you tried something that I have been considering, grey as a color which I have been considering. Your scenery looked fine not counting the actual trees in the back grown. However it did show tat your scenery was believable when compared to the real thing.

Glad I'm not the only one using Thomas wagons for On30!
Sorry, no video.

Amazing work on the layout and video production! I really love the back-woodsy feel.
The rolling stock toward the end looks like Bachmann tippers, but what are the four-wheel cars at the end of the string of tippers? Would love to learn more about your process; do you have a blog or build thread anywhere?

Hey grits, can you perhaps send me a picture of the layout from a sort of a birds eye view?

Thanks Gianni. The quarry cars with 2 trucks are resit and wood kits from Boulder Valley Models. They make excellent kits. And the 4-wheel cars are bashed from Bachmann's HO Thomas the Tank Engine cars, with the old couplers sliced off and new Kadees body-mounted. Very cost-effective.
I guess I could create a blog, but I don't have much spare time. I did find time to take some overall photos of this layout, and I need to edit those into a short video.
