Thanks for watching! I spent a lot of time doing up plans on my computer to try to fit everything in. Didn’t originally want a helix, but it kinda became necessary.
Great layout! Really nice to start the Saturday morning with a calm video for breakfast. I will be dismantling my layout shortly and planning my new layout. My basic plan is a similar idea to what you have done. I look forward to the next video. Best regards from northern Sweden! /Joakim
Appreciate the layout tour; I’m looking at a similar size room and configuration in N scale. It’s inspiring to see what you’ve been able to accomplish in HO in that same footprint particularly in regard to continuous running. Hope to see more updates - Thanks!
Hi Rainer. Thanks for taking the time to make another great video, The paper mill and other features like the diesel shops are looking great.I just drove by the yard a couple of days ago and the memories of working in the car shops and yard crew as a student came rolling back. Keep up the excellent work. Thanks
That was a nice explanation/tour of the layout and fun to watch the train travel. You can check out any number of my videos to see how I utilized a steel mill background to create depth on my layout. One part of my layout is in a room smaller than yours and I model in O scale. Imagine that. Thanks for sharing.
Great timing, road bed is drying, fireplace is going, pop corn is now ready. Nice tour, I can't wait to see another run at night once you get around to working on the additional buildings and lighting. One thing I am going to have to think about is getting a camera mounted so I can check for scenery work that I missed down the road. Any suggestions?
@@paulflak2823 I use the DJI Osmo Pocket on my flat car, but I bought a cheap bodycam on Amazon that I tried - it’s smaller and works ok as well. The resolution isn’t as good as the DJI, but it would do the job.
For a 8×16 Ho scale, double deck layout...wow a job well done . Question: Correct me if I'm wrong ,looks like peco track and peco Electrofrogs ? Also a new Subscriber 👍😎DD
Thanks for watching! Mix of Peco and Atlas code 100 track. Mainly Peco Insulfrogs, with two Electrofrogs mixed in (that I bought used in a pile of Insulfrogs).
@@mathewrufrano7833 It’s all easily accessible. I can stand up in the middle of my helix. The lead to the lower staging is easily accessible from below.
A suggestion for beginners check out th-cam.com/video/icIle7Nc4AM/w-d-xo.html, this guy's ability to create realistic landscapes is mind blowing, never mind he explains in detail how to paint plaster so it looks like real rocks etc.
Thanks for the awesome ride along. You have done a lot with the space you have. Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you! I love Sweden. Gotta get back there some day.

@@noway1291 I drew up a lot of different plans on the computer before I started construction- just trying to make things fit

Enjoyed the update Rainer. What cam/vid are you using for the cab ride shots?
Osmo Pocket (first version) on a flat car with a piece of 1/2” pink styrofoam as a spacer so the gimbal head can move.
Hope one day you will show us your Osmo Pocket (first version) on a flat car
@@paulflak2823 I’ll try to include that in an upcoming video
How do you handle derailments and such where your hidden tracks are?
