It would take my breath away if this COULD actually be done in literally 60 seconds 😂😂😂
If you inhale that foam board dust, it probably would.
COOL BEANZ YO !!!!! THAT'S WHAT SOME TEENAGER'S I MENTOR , 2 BOY'S AND 3 GIRL'S , SAID AS I GAVE EACH A STARTER SET AND SOME GRASS MAT'S TREE'S AND GROUND BUSHES AND FOAM AND A BASIC ACRYLIC PAINT SET " BEFORE CHRISTMAS !!! " THEY USED THIS CLIP AS ADVICE !!! I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AS EACH TEEN USED THEIR IMAGINATION'S . . . AT DIFFERENT SCHOOL'S AND IT HAS BROUGHT MORE TEEN'S TO DO SOMETHING WITH THEIR " HAND'S AND " UNPLUG " FROM BEING ONLINE !!! THEIR PARENT'S SAY THANK YOU , AS DO I !!!!! GREAT IDEA'S !!!!! AWESOME !!!!!!!
Always interesting and always entertaining
Steve’s the man 🧍♂️
Woow in 60 seconds builing a N scale small layout .
Kato curve tracks.
And that there folks is how its done in 60 seconds! KABOOM
Tried following your instructions. It took me so much longer than 60 seconds. Not sure where I went wrong.
That's awesome 😎
Good old N scale
nice nod to Bob Ross there :)
Yep!
You forgot the first step
Have disposable income to afford even half of the tracks,engines,or rolling stock
That is actually why I started doing my TH-cam channels, to pay for my hobbies.
Track foam paint train all you need
Love it
I love it iam a 4x8 guy layout
Thats fine but its taken me 60yrs to finally get around to buildings, roads, scenery, lights, bridges and ppL! But its looking really good now. Just finished the electronics and dcc a few months ago.😂
thank you so much for the simple breakdown!
Your amazing. Lol
TRULY I TRULY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT TRULY YOU TRULY CAN DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS IN ( 60 SECONDS ) .
No, I spent maybe 15 hours over the course of a couple of weeks building it. I just showed everything in 60 seconds. Lol
Awesome 👍
Thanks!
Happy little trees!
Great tutorial Steve!👍
Excellent video! 👍🏻🎅👍🏻
Really good video
Repeat 37 times and you have a large train layout!
Good one
Awesome!
Good effort
If I had a car and money I could buy that stuff.
Thx
Hi everyone.. I'm a rocket guy who wants to expand to trains.. this is my first build..I have a 26x26" square table I want to make into an "n" layout.. any ideas if I will be able to make it change elevation for a trestle or car bridge in that amount of space?
It is possible if you keep the train short and the locomotive and rolling stock short. So, short 4-axle locomotives and 50’ or shorter scale foot rolling stock. If you plan to have the track loop up and over itself (kind of a twice around with the track passing over itself, like a folded figure 8, the grades will be pretty steep. You might need to short locomotives to help pull a train up and over in that space if you have more than a few cars. You can do what you want in that space, but just have to make some compromises. Check out what Peter Walfraff has done with some of his small layouts like this one: th-cam.com/video/UCEZvondDRM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks my friend!.. Mabye a 'z' 👍
have you looked into T gauge? Teeny weeny, about 1/2 size of Z edit: having fantasy of tiny trains winding through and around the clutter on my desk. stress relief, lol
That's a new gauge to me.. thank you for the learned advice! I'll look into it. 👍👍
Z is half n and t is half z
What kind of glue do you use to keep your ballast together without loosing the electric connection with the track?
I usually used diluted matte medium. But, I also solder some rail joints and use a lot of feeders on most projects (except simple loops where I usually just solder connections) to help prevent that being an issue.
Maybe in 60 hours!
Every time you point your finger at me,three are pointing back at you
Ha, good point!
When was brown pretty?
Me trying to do bad Bob Ross impressions.
How to ecplain how to make a train set, best said.
But I don't have a train.
Step 0: buy a train
@@StevesTrains I can do this! After a year figuring out what gauge to use...
In 2023 model rail roading is a very expensive hobby ... you need skill , knowledge , money , space and time . I think it could be a dying hobby . Great hobby nevertheless .
More like 60 minutes
In reality it’s not possible to build in 60 seconds
No, just me talking about how to build it in 60 seconds.
I can do you one better.
Build layout.
Done
Boom! Nice “executive summary”.
Don't point your finger at me.
Looks like a 5 year old did it
Idk if I should go for n scale or HO scale
