This is the perfect video to come up for me, as I'm literally currently gluing a cut Lego baseplate to Menards O-gauge flatcar. Gotta have fun! It's your railroad. Do what makes you happy.
I really like your approach. I try myself to create the landscape and buildings for an N scale shunting layout in Lego. I've had a look at H0 and Lego gauge already, but the space consumption is an issue, espacially for the latter it is already significant, even if you stick to shunting layouts only. Maerklin offers a set of locomotive and wagons compatible to Lego, but it did not intrigue me yet. I could well imagine the budget model railroad approach with 3d printed kits for Kato and Peco chassis. Just think of a set made as basis for lego builds.
I absolutely LOVE this and it is exactly what I need in my ‘modelling’ life right now - can you please design a little wagon next to go behind it for us please ?
I'd love to see your take on some cars for it to pull around. Also thanks for solving this coming December's Christmas train ordeal 300+ days beforehand. I'mma build the locomotive shell before any cars, just to alow for experimentation while my Christmas tree is still up.
I can 3D print Lego bricks, so could design all the parts myself. This may lead to a change of plan for my Kato inspired modules, most of which are 3D printed!
@@TabletopRailroad my hands are fairly good at painting without using masking tape Just hand painting ! With the only spray being a primer coat . It’s a joy !
@@TabletopRailroad aww thank you ! I try my best to update my painting skills . I do intend on modifying N scale model someday … like a planned peco wagon kit goods train perhsps of open wagons or maybe some chocolate vans . I mean chocolate was carried in rsilway vans . Maybe a wispa , twix or kit Kat one could be done perhaps . Tho here’s a hint for tiny details and lettering . Grab yourself posca paint pens . It saves hours of work with brushes .
The style clash of the engine on the track is just... oof. Sounds good on paper, and I do like what you were going for here, but it just looks out of scale compared to the track. It's probably due to a reoccurring issue I've seen of a narrow gauge engine being used on standard gauge scale track.
@@Nowheres_Channel for sure. KATO recently came out with narrow gauge track. I also prefer the Peco irregular tie narrow gauge track that it’s sitting on in the video thumbnail image. This is an insignificant detail when trying to use this to get kids modeling though.
@@TabletopRailroad I was wondering why the thumbnail looked so diffirent! I also get it's a way to get younger audiences into modeling, albeit it didn't cross my mind considering how delicate N-scale can get. Plus lego does have it's own rail system (L Gauge).
Very cool idea for a Micro layout!
As a huge LEGO fan this is absolutely amazing I might try this out!!
Beautiful! And I'd like to add as well, Lego spaced at 5 "Studs" is a perfect 45mm for G scale/Gauge 1!

Brilliant! So cool!
You did a great work 👍👍
Well, I asked for it. Lovely.
excellent.
Nanoblock does nanogauge trains for n scale track. Loz also made an n scale train set similar to nano gauge.

Lego figures are 1.5 inches (4cm) in height, or about six feet in O scale. Very interesting...
@@danmcmartin nice! I figured this was in the neighborhood of On18 scale modeling.
Interesting
Tho I will stick with those resin prints on the likes of Etsy , I see prints on there all the time !
@@MaxwellTheTrainFan the joy is in the making, Maxwell! Leave those prints behind and craft happiness with your own two hands 👍🤘

Just hand painting ! With the only spray being a primer coat .
It’s a joy !
the painting on your channel looks great! I also very much like your clay creations from a couple years back. Keep up the good work and creativity 👍🤓
