Sorry for your loss - funerals aren't easy in these difficult times. I'm delighted to see you starting on another micro layout. I agree with you, I like round and round layouts - one day I'll have a go at a double sided one.
I have had my 0-4-0 for 20 years and never done a layout . your channel and mini OO layouts have inspired me to start my own layout . thank you
Glad we could help, have fun with it. The best advice is just go for it
hi there. sorry for your loss. its not easy. what a super layout, it just goes to show it does not cost a lot of money to have a railway.hornbys 0-4-0 locos are just the job,my smokey joe would love to crawl around you layout for hours on end, i only paid 15 pounds for it and its 2 years old ! i must crank up the Bagnall to day. stay safe,
Please accept my condolences Mike, like you I have lost people dear to me this year.
So here we go again, an object lesson in how to run 00 gauge in ludicrously small spaces. This gives a whole new way of modelling I love it. Thanks to you guys I'm half way through a 5 x 2 foot industrial with passenger layout. I'm like a kid again! I'm 65 for goodness sake. I am looking forward to watching this one develop. Keep safe.
Hi David thanks for the support, have fun with the layout and all the best
Sorry to hear about your Mother in law and Mother. I am pleased to see another Micro layout in the making! :-) You may be pleased to know that the two layouts I purchased from yourself earlier in the year are both going very well. I spent this morning working on the larger one, now called 'Spring Bank'. I am really enjoying the hobby again, thanks to you giving me the encouragement and the two layouts to work on! :-) It's a great hobby, and as you say, it's a brilliant distraction from the unpleasant things going on in life at the moment! Well done, and keep up the excellent work and videos! :-D I really enjoy watching each new one you make!
Steel track gets a bad rap but I have been using it for 20 years on my layout and I have to say needs less cleaning the nickle silver track and you can use an abrasive to clean it up and there is no issue at all. This includes a sizable amount of Triang Super4 track that is around 60 years old and as good a the day it was made. I live in the West of Ireland and climate here very humid and so with a regular spray of WD40 - our mutual friend - and running the trains regular there is no further issues with corrosion. I love the way this channel tackles the orthodoxy of the hobby. There is too much institutionalization that needs debunking. Well done and great micro layout.
Another fantastic layout in the making, Mike! Very sorry to hear of your loss! My mother is no longer able to live on her own, either. Nobody ever told me about this part of getting older!
So sorry to hear about your Mums!! 😥 Blessings to all of You Dears from across the pond in Texas USA. ❤
Your videos are therapeutic to me as I work-out how I want to do my own layout. (So many exhausting things here: carer for my spouse, new 2nd career and grad school). I'm too old for all this, BUT your videos are relaxing and encouraging. As much as I like shunting, I too find watching a small train on a small loop amazingly satisfying (I've a lovely imagination) 😌💜
Oh! Oh! *Thanks* for clearance and flexi-track techniques -- they will really come in handy!! 💁
Thanks for your support, glad we could help and all the best to Texas
Simple and efficient. I have a similar idea for a run-round-laid-on-the-floor layout. The public office where I work have dozens of old calendars going to the bin every year, I will recover them, cut and glue them to make right size elements where I can put some tracks on, and have a running session in my small lounge in five minutes. You gave me the idea, thanks for it !
Another wonderful layout from yourself and I think we should start calling these Mike-Ro layouts LOL. Sorry to hear about your problems with older relatives but I'm sorry to say it comes to us all. Reaching 70 in January I have lost almost all of my relatives. Keep your chin up and stay safe. Frank
Thanks Frank, look after yourself
Hi Mike a nice little layout there and you are right watching trains go around is very theraputic. Sorry to hear of your loss and I can appreciate what you are going through with your Mother as mine is in a care home with dementia .
Keep Safe ......Cheers Kev
Thanks Kev all the best
Once again, you’ve eliminated any excuse I’ve had against building a small roundy layout. I have a 2’ x 4’ baseboard down in the shop from a former N scale layout. I could easily put together a similar HO or OO layout. I will follow with interest your method of creating tight curves with flex track. My sincere condolences in the passing of your mother-in-law and your mother’s health issues. My wife and I have been there with all four of our parents. Prayers and best wishes as you navigate this challenging season of life.
Very kind thanks and all the best with your layout, that's a good size
Sorry to hear of your sad news. Thank God for our hobbies and distractions. Another fab layout. Keep the videos coming, Mike.
I’m really sorry to hear about your recent family news. I agree with you, modelling and shunting is so therapeutic, it’s what I do on an evening to wind down. I’m glad the cardboard will be of help to you. Take care.
Many thanks
And that’s why we love playing trains! An escape from the rubbish in life! Love the look of the layout as always! Look forward to seeing it develop
Thanks so true
Another great video and sorry for your loss.
Fantastic video Mike. Really sorry to hear what happened with you recently. Deepest sympathies to you all. I did have a chuckle I’m sorry about your tooth fixing attempt. Is this going to lead to a new channel Budget Dentistry? All the best to you and all your family. Stay safe.
Thanks Paul. Many years ago I fixed a crown back in that lasted 10 years
@@BudgetModelRailways maybe your town scene might include a small dentists.?
Sorry to hear not goin so well Mike - but you strike me as the type of resourceful person that will rise above these difficult situations. I have had to deal with some similar issues over last Two years, and I would like you to know that BMR has introduced me to a great hobby that is helping me lead a healthier lifestyle, cope better with Stress and be a better person for my Family. Chin up and Crack on - Many Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi Mike sorry to hear about your loss and to hear about your mum being ill.That is a neat trick using a pen and longest wagon to get the curve right,it is so easy when you are shown isnt it! I answered a question on a forum about people stressing out about baseboards,apparently you can only use 12mm ply and 3x1 battens for strengthening ;) There you have the back of an old wardrobe,and my baseboards are made from flooring i saved from a bonfire.Stay safe and happy Mike and Doug.
Sorry to hear about your tough time of late. Thoughts for you and your family. Looking forward to watching this one develop. You always impress me as to how much you manage to fit into such a small space. Always an inspiration 👍
Thanks
Sorry to hear about your sad news. I trust your Mum will be well looked after and you can regularly visit. Your micro layouts are inspiring. I am cheating and will be using 009 gauge for my next micro, but on a micro budget too of course. Looking forward picking new tips on your landscaping.🖖
I've toyed with 009 but I have too much OO
Sorry to hear about your mother in law, you have sympathy from me.
Glad to see that continental bike rack has returned. Great work with the steel, Corporal Jones would be proud!
They don't like it up them Captain Mannering
@@BudgetModelRailways Time to ´PUT THAT RUDDY LIGHT OUT!!!´
Don't panic Captain Mannering
What did I tell ye, we´re doomed,
Ye here what I said Captain Mannering, Doomed! Doomed!!!
It does help take your mind off things ,you take care too an hope mum will be well looked after ,BTW your auto coach kits just finished mine heavily modified well pleased with it great customer service from you too ,all the best Mark 🙏😊👍🏻
Great video as always and I’m very sad to hear of your loss.
Glad your layouts are helping get you through the hard times. Best Wishes Andrew
Just got the points and track ordered on eBay to do a shunting layout. Old wardrobe door as a base.
Lots of great ideas have got me back on track, having sold everything off a while ago.
Tough times it seems, glad you have
a way to deal with it all.
Good luck with the layout have fun
Nice little layout and it will be good to see your progress on it. Model railways are very theraputic aren't they. My dear mum passed away this year and I'm sure restarting the hobby has helped me so much. (I've received your PWM controller body by the way. Many thanks).
Blimey! Another one! 😜👍 Nice tidy track laying and I am glad to see those buildings are being reused!🤓 Really look forward to the harbour update too 😎
Sorry to hear about the mother in law. Lost mine in July and it has been so very difficult not least for my lovely missus and her father of whom I am very fond. But then when you have a strong family unit, it really helps and I am sure you will help each other in the coming weeks ❤️
Take care fella 👍🍀
Thanks Tim all the best to you and your family
Condolences on your loss and not so well mother. Nice looking layout, so pleased you,l doing it. Got the 0.4.0 Locomotive for your kit loco, got it at classcrail for a tenner thanks for the video
Unexpected treat to find a new video notification on a Sunday. A timely reminder for me to get on with some track work today. And so sorry to hear about recent events. Sympathies and best wishes to you and yours.
Thanks, we are trying to get back to two videos a week occasionally
Sorry to hear about your mother in law and your mum Mike, my condolences.
Well you did say hold that thought when I mentioned continuous runs. What a nice little micro 'continuous run' layout this promises to be!! Nice one.
Do you reckon you could get a large prairie round an 18" radius curve?
Mick.
18in radius yes 18in diameter sadly no
Looking forward to Part 2. Please accept my condolences Regards Greg
Thanks Greg
I love seeing all your model railways come together :) Top stuff as always. Sorry for your loss and the impending hospice move :(
Nice small layout, like it , and sorry to hear of your loss.
Thanks Ian
Great layout. Sorry about your Loss and sad to hear your Mother has gone into a hospice.
Thanks
great stuff in tough times stay strong be safe and keep up the good work
Thanks
This will be a cool layout to see
Great idea and perfect timing with winter about to start and Christmas on its way ( hints to people about what you would like)
Hi Mike that layout looks fantastic i am sure we should be seeing lots of videos on that layout. Sorry to hear about your mother in law i hope your doing ok. Cheers and best wishes.
Nicholas.
Just saw the new website and love it!
The little 0-4-0 locos are very good at cleaning the track, like once a week sending them around for about 30 mins, it helps keep the track somewhat cleaner.
Very much enjoying your channel here. I'm in the throes of building a pretty good sized M shaped layout and have tried to be budget minded as much as possible. My local hobby shop owner is great at giving advice on such matters and has helped with many ideas. I especially enjoyed the video you made on Just Build IT, paraphrasing of course. That's been my problem all along.......fretting on how to do something and not making a mistake, so it gets put off, sometimes for very long periods. I tend to see the entire layout as a huge time consuming task and not as a whole lot of small bites....the old elephant eating phrase. My hobby shop friend has tried telling me to just get started and the ideas will come as I make progress. :-) Anyway, this video is great as I've been thinking about making something similar for my two grandchildren who live with us and who are crazy about trains. I want to keep their enthusiasm up without playing with grandpa's trains. :-) This video looks to be just the ticket. My only substitute so far would be using extruded styrofoam.
Glad we could help. Foam is a good substitute, I think keep it simple, just build it and have fun is the best advice. The hobby is obsessed with perfection at any price, which I believe puts people off. Thanks for watching and commenting
Sorry to hear of your family situations. Great to see this new little layout...all the best..ade katrina
Thanks all the best hope you are both keeping well
@@BudgetModelRailways good thanks Mike...will send some pics of the layout when finished via e mail...
I look forward to seeing how this turns out!
This is coming along nicely
Great video mike. So sorry to hear the passing. Its not easy. My grandad passed away earlier this year and i found it very hard. but model railways really helped me to cope. By the way has the parcel arrived yet? Another great video and keep up the great work and stay safe. Jack
Hi Jack, sorry to hear about your grandad. Not yet but the post seems very slow at the moment.
Great small space set up
Thanks
Great video. More inspiration for people.
Hiya, I'm looking to make a model railway with these exact proportions, being new to the world of model railways means I have a LOT of these 0-4-0 tanks. These videos will be great help for me and I'm going to watch the whole series. I'm getting the baseboard for it and some track. What radius curve are you using? I could use it myself as I was thinking of getting 1st radius.
It's way smaller than 1st radius at 10in radius, 1st radius is 15in. Go for 1st radius if you have the room as it will allow you a much larger range of locos and rolling stock.
Nice little layout 🙂
The beginnings of another BMR spectacular layout. I crush a lot of cardboard like what the station is sitting on. I would grab some but it gets so humid here in the Mid-Atlantic it would be a problem come summer.
How are Douglas's studies going?
Lots of hard work, especially maths
Nice video it's going to be a great layout 👍
Hi there, really enjoyed watching this. My sons are both keen on model trains. I don’t have the time or space to build a big layout (we ended up taking down the baseboards we made a start on due to size) . This sort of thing could be picked up and slid under a bed. Please could I ask how much flexi track do you need to make one this size? I’ve a quarry/rural layout in mind.
Hi sounds great. Two lengths will do it. Alternatively if you have 30in to play with you could use 1st radius set track, which would also allow you to use more locos and rolling stock.
@@BudgetModelRailways thanks I’ll give that a go. We have some 1st radius curves from the failed big layout so I’ll mock up a 36x30 layout and see how that looks. I could see us building a couple of these to keep it interesting.
30x36 loop with a couple of sidings would be great. We did the same with our first layout, way too ambitious lol. We then built a simpler double loop layout which we ended up exhibiting
@@BudgetModelRailways hello,
I'm just getting started and was wondering if you could please tell me what size board in inches I would need for a double loop to run 2 trains,I have limited space like a lot of people.
Many thanks and I enjoy watching your videos.
The 'overhang' was the reason given by Hornby for designing their mk3 short coach back in 1977 as many of their accessories had set spacing away from the track and a scale mk3 would have fouled these... genius idea .... maybe not, but I guess its worth considering if a monster scale length 75ft coach for smaller layouts, but I'm gonna hazard a guess that even these wouldn't get around this micro layout. Love the weatherboarding upon the re-purposed bungalow come station building, gives it an air of the Lynton & Barnstable which is no bad thing. Have you done budget 009 yet, now that would really suit a micro layout.
Sadly not even the celestory coach struggles
@@BudgetModelRailways guess its the good old Hornby 4 wheel coaches then. I wonder if the old Triang Hornby coaches with their sleeved axles and much shorter length than standard coach would cope with the tight radius of the micro layout.
I'm using our 3d printed coach bodies on the short wagon chassis, I am going to have a go later and see if the Hornby 4 wheel coaches will work
@@BudgetModelRailways very prototypical, many preserved 4 & 6 wheelers are now on shortened wagon frames. Look forward to seeing them on a future update, stay safe and thanks for sharing.
Cool!
very nice!
This makes me keen to try a small OO layout like this. All the best wishes.
Me too.
Good luck with it, just go for it, it's always better to make something than just plan it
@@BudgetModelRailways- just need to put it past my wife! Already got 2 N gauge and 1 OO shunting layouts to finish!
LOL Home dentistry video coming up..... I'm interested to see what you manage to do with this mini loop layout.
Do you sell off and/or give away all your old mini layouts? I've actually got 2 I need to pass on soon as no space of course.
Cheers!
Yes they all got sold, along with most of the shunting layouts, via ebay
What solvent would you normally use to clean your track Mike?
I've never got into solvents but do occasionally use wd40
Very nice layout - how long and wide is it? I like small layouts - mine is not big either (148x98cm)
20x36 inches
@@BudgetModelRailways Wow, that’s incredibly small - I’m looking forward to the landscaping
meant to say, those little snip that are supplied with 3D printers are very "brittle" and the blade will snap at any chance they get, mine did and the snapped off blade embedded itself into the shed wall !
Will be watching this closely, wanting to make a Horse shoe style layout or U shaped.
But the space available is 2ft by 6ft.
Given that this is 20" wide I'd like to see just how large a loco you could run on this!
Cheers Mike!
Most bo bo diesels but steam locos only 0-4-0
@@BudgetModelRailways you reckon a co co would do it then? I think of an 060 does it the. A coco should be ok?..
Possibly not, as not all 0-6-0s will, but the older Lima and Hornby bo bo are ok
@@BudgetModelRailways good man, I'll find out then won't I 😁😁😁 cheers!
I could get a deltic and a 9f round my 26in diameter layout
You’ve got the track pinned down here, and in the updates there’s ballast mat underneath how did you do that?
I use track screws so it was easy to lift the track, cut ballast mat to shape and relay the track
@@BudgetModelRailwaysaha! I had a job on lining up the flex track, so I'll lift it in stages and slide it under.
I couldn't wait to watch a train go round, am trying to take my time.
I need to make a compact layout!!!
They are great fun
My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
That's kind thanks
Any chance of a 20k suscribers livestream
Good idea, we will see what we can do
I feel for you. My mum died in April. Take care out there.
My condolences, take care
I didnt get a notification!
sorry to bother u i just have never won a giveaway so i was wondering when it is
Hopefully next week
great hopefully for me i will win as i havent got many trains also i hope one of ure 3d printed diesels come tomorrow. plus im practising with a camra/phone lol and merry christmas. i really think u should have been called bodge it sons thinking back to ure how to build a hill vid
92cm -> /52cm ^
Has anyone ever used plasterboard as baseboards I just wandered
I have a challenge for you!! A model layout that can hold 22 yes 22 trains. Are you up for it ? 😃
Why 22? If you mean 22 trains not locos, then I simply would not have the room and I doubt anyone outside the US would. Doesn't sound very Budget
I thought I’d deleted that message, bugger. Was looking for a way to have 22 locos on a layout, but have now almost worked out how to do it: Your right it’s not budget and it was inappropriate to put this on this page after your loss: As I said I thought I’d deleted it:
No worries, it is an interesting concept, I could certainly do with being able to store more locos in a fiddle yard, but have no room
@@BudgetModelRailways I have 22 engines. And was racking my brain how I could fit them onto board. Then you came to mind because you can fit so much into small spaces: So went to your site typed all in and then saw you had not long lost your Dad. So back spaced everything but somehow it went through: Anyway really enjoy your Chanel learned a great deal from you and appreciate it very much. All the best
It should be possible to make a multi yard fiddle area especially if you have them as single entries rather than loops. I have a weakness for locomotives so could never fit them all on a layout lol
My sympathy for current events.Maybe you should read John Cleese's book, 'Families and how to survive them'. I always wondered why you didn't turn the back of 'Market Road' into another layout. Now's your opportunity.
