Holiday Window Display Train Maintenance N Scale
This video covers detailed setup, operation, and maintenance of the train layout shown previously. Purpose is mainly for instruction of store staff. Anyone attempting a similar tiny N scale layout may also benefit.
I created several animated holiday window displays for my favorite local bakery. Purpose was to entertain neighborhood children and to get parents to visit the shop. Easter, July 4th, Halloween, and Christmas exhibits have been done for 2 years so far.
Two 1/150 N Scale trains run on a compact layout in a 18”x26” baking sheet pan. The local main street is realistically modeled with buildings, vehicles, and people. Realistic landscape covers the outside of the pan and it can be changed seasonally.
Design, construction, operation, and audience experience were challenging and time-consuming. I finally evolved the exhibit to be practical for bakery staff to setup and run without too much of my involvement. With this video, I am happy to show my results and lessons learned, especially to anyone considering trying something similar.
I appreciate comments, but I often don’t read them for weeks. I sometimes reply to specific important questions. If I definitely covered your question in the video and you didn’t notice or didn’t watch that far, I probably won’t reply. If similar questions appear often though, I might even cover them in a follow up video.

I have some questions about this layout - if you used insulated track connectors would that solve the short circuits and then you could use 2 controllers - where would they go and where do we put the power points - in the loops?
This is so cool! If I ever get into N scale, I want to make something like this.
What happened to this layout? Did u ever finish it? Your layout inspired me to get into n scale, especially the NE corridor! Please give us an update.
Train are from Bachmann
Which wheels on each type are picking up current? Thanks.
you could re-paint the arrows on the Japanese road plates if it bothers you ? love your layout .
Thank you very much for this video. It helped me to decide to buy the Unitram-system too.
Brilliant insight and detail of these Kato Trams, could watch them for hours. Subbed!
As a Marylander I’m foaming at the mouth to have modern MARC representation in N scale, mind boggling how Kato has ALC-42 and MP36PH models and no MARC variants; I know this video is mostly covering other NEC roads, but a giant local road gap from DC to Pennsylvania is uniquely frustrating.
Awesome northeast corridor! Where did the station kit come from? Thanks! George subscribed
help! please tell me how to contact onetrue for advice. am thinking about a unitram V60 starter set x 2. and connecting them as simply as possible via electric switch turnouts? thinking 2 v60s since that might be more interesting then 1 set and simplest way to achieve. have looked at infinite # web pages and videos but cannot wrap my mind around how to. and want usa versions where possible. am senior/senior person with all my faculties working. thanks,

I know you don't post videos very often, but on the topic of these Kato Trams, have you acquired one of the new Kato "My Trams" (typically come in the red or blue). What intrigues me with those is that they are in three pieces, which almost gives me the impression that you can possibly use multiples to extend a single tram, to make them resembles more like the real streetcars in use in north america.
Super lovely, thank-you. I especially loved the elevated portion: 3D feel. I wonder if running slower through-out would give scale-feel. No matter. Thank-you!
Maybe 3d printed prr poles
cant help but laugh looking at the prices for such a setup ... you people are hilarious burning so much cash on such cheap molded plastic moved by the most basic electrics. Dont even want to know what it would cost to make this programmable, so that the vehicles can be properly controlled and use stops etc.
i currently have a similar layout , modeling the northeast with plenty of passenger trains.... i am using kato and wiring for dcc , stopping at the stations and having conductors and station operators speak adds so much to the experience.. cheers and thanks for your inspiration
You sir, are an absolute genius. This layout is fantastic. I am on the same “track” as you but maybe a few years behind. I have most of the same equipment, and could not agree more with the analysis of function, especially the new Rapido comets. Good to know about the radius and uncoupling. Keep it up, this is a true gem of a layout in its rarity!!!! Appreciate this video!!!
I love you for loading up this video, it is such a nice layout! I guess the turnouts are non-power routing, am I right?
NEC, I’m here for it👌🏾
I like the touch of the 707.
Thats brilliant love it. What is the approximate cost for that layout??
Do Those trams come in defrint colors?
what are the materials for the rails?
Awesome . Great work
Looks like DCC is involved.
Very beautiful i live this line, did youthink of extending it with branches
There are several sites going back toward the pennsylvania railroad rather then penn central they're running trains with dcc sounds full catanery scene
Also videos from crazy man 762 it shows newbrunswick Edison Metuchen and Elizabeth nj in detail with serious catanery
Check out Bill Kacell cosmopolitan division of the pennsylvania railroad its a super train layout with complete catanery signals old factories old weather beating with cab view with a camera in there locomotive
Should string up the catanery and hopefully paint the poles there are videos where they place a camera on the engine window
Should check out bill kechell model trains its under pennsylvania railroad cos it's super layout it's the northeast corridor with harrisburg as it's starting and he adds the catnery not just post the whole wires you go through philadelphia and skips trenton Newark newjersey a brief tunnel and then a loop around newhaven con
.north of trenton that's princeton jct I grew up there
Newark NJ airport and I think the New Brunswick station is missing?
You should check out the Bill kapel model layout it's harrisburg pa through philadelphia then skips trenton then Newark and you might see a tunnel and it loops around newhaven con
I'm interested in building a replica of the NJ Transit Riverline light rail system.
Trenton Station Newark Airport
This is now my favorite layout, great job! I like the fact that you are using shelves. I have been using them since 2005 and never looked back! Only problem is, I want to model this as well now!
this is the most amazing notheast corridor remake I've ever seen, I've always wanted to make the corridor myself too!
Always nice to see a fellow Corridor modeler! Well done!
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!!!
How wide are your shelves I love the layout and your channel hope you add more on the northeast corridor
My freestanding wire rack quadruple shelves are 18” wide, but most of my single wire shelves are 24” wide. This is because a protruding concrete foundation sill keeps my freestanding rack shelves 8” away from the wall studs. Once I saw off all the rack shelf poles above track level, all my sceniced modules will be 24” wide, giving me deeper background scenery with a 33’ total length. BTW, most of my shelves are 48” long, but some are 6-12” shorter or longer to accommodate appliances.
In japan cars drive on the left
Yes, Japan is left hand traffic LHT. My layout is an unfortunate compromise of USA RHT and Japan LHT street pieces. When making these videos in 2018, I intended to review USA rolling stock first, so set up USA 1950-1960 autos as RHT. Most of my LHT road arrows are cleverly hidden under autos. Then I changed my mind and decided to do modern Japan rolling stock first, but forgot to change the autos. I never completed my USA rolling stock videos.
Nice! I've been searching for Unitram turnouts/points for 2.5 years. Can't find them anywhere 😞
😍😍😍😍
😝😝😝😝😝
Is the track is it H O gauge or is it N gauge
N scale.
I know this prototype goes way back but I'd love to see Kato release some Pennsy MP-54 bookcase sets someday. They'd go nicely with their GG1s and with some N scale E44s and BLI's P5s, you'd be able to have a really solid roster of Pennsy-era NEC rolling stock.
I couldn’t agree more! Please submit two Kato USA product suggestions for MP54 and E44. I am working on my 1968-1982 video, then 1952-1967. I will be strongly advocating for NEC fans to demand those models. Until then, I will be using Kato or Tomix brown Japanese series 72 EMUs as a stand-in.
Did ever check out bill kacell consolidation division of Pennsylvania railroad it's a super layout with a camera which gives you a realistic ride from harrisburg through philadelphia then skips trenton newjersey your in Newark then a brief tunnel and a loop around newhaven con it has even the catanery wires
Also crazyman762 it's showing newbrunswick Edison Metuchen Elizabeth new jersey in catenary wires and the pennsylvania realistic tall catenary polls
i find the chaos if the way you run your trams quite fascinating and hypnotic lol .really enjoy it.
