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 6, Structures how-to.

  • Riveting.....

  • @TouchdownLegend Thankyou.

  • @GeEkOuTgAmErS HO is probably the best scale to start out with, it's small, readily available and cheap. Personally, I started out with G scale, but it can be expensive and needs a lot of space. (Mine's a garden railroad)

  • @GeEkOuTrAmErS how much room do you have?

  • Hi, I am planning on building my own model railroad based on a british countryside during the mid-1940's, The only problem is that i have never done a model before and can't decide or understand how the scales work. Could anyone reccomend what scale is good for beginners and possibly explain them too? Thanks.

  • I would use faller expert, or super expert... (i live in norway, so i don't know if you got it over there) that glue is extremely god!

  • Greatb job... thanks for sharing..

  • Now for all railroader (new)

    BUY THE KITS!
