In 2022 I com[pleted my Scenic Ridge layout kit (from Woodland Scenics). Next , I finished a more ambitious 80" x 36" layout, the Conejos Valley Railroad, and are now working on a more ambitious L-shaped layout, the Sant Fe Northern.
Scenic Ridge Construction
This is a series of YouTube videos which shows you how to easily build a small railroad 3' x6' layout using the Woodland Scenic Scenic Ridge layout kit which is based on foam board construction techniques. The series is aimed at the beginner, but has a number of hints and tricks for the seasoned model railroader. So far, I have published three of the seven-part series of videos and two smaller support videos. Check them out on the right side of this page!
The outline of this video series is as follows:
1. Introduction to Layout and Base Construction
2. Track Laying and Wiring
3. Switches (Turnouts) and Switch (Turnout) Motors
4. Outer Walls and Fascia Boards
5. Bridges and Tunnels
6. Mountain and Terrain Supports, Plaster Cloth, and Rocks
7. Roads and Buildings
