- I'm gonna give you to the count of ten to get your keister on TH-cam and watch this before I pump your guts full of lead 1,2...10‼️ Merry Christmas you filthy animals and a happy new year! Hope everyone had a great holiday season! NO O scale trains were harmed in the making of this video, don't worry!!! Hahaha.
This was a project lily and I worked on a little here and there since November. I originally was going to just have some old DC Engines running on it but I learned some awesome new things that Broadway Limited Imports is doing and I jumped the band wagon! You'll see a slide show from start to finish of this fun little layout that measures approximately 30"x40". Afterward there is a running session with a bunch of views and sounds. The layout is basically done except I would like to add lighting to the structures and add more little details and scenes. Feel free to ask any questions. I'll try to answer as best as I can....I'm still kinda a newbie in n scale lol.
Thanks for watching, commenting, liking, and subscribing!

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! just looking at the layout brings back childhood memories of doing all those things like skating, playing in the snow and just being outside enjoying the season.THANKS for uploading& sharing this Treasure! You really did an AWESOME job- THANKS.
“Okay kids go have a snowball fight, but just don’t fall off the mountain!”
scDiecast they prefer snowboard and jump off the cliff instead doing winter Olympic jumps and flips!!! 🏂💨
Absolutely awesome setup of N gauge train set with an amazing layout. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Loved Everything about it !!!!!! Wonderfully Done !!!!!
We're the sticky bandits! Real cute, very cute.
Great little n scale layout. Just saw this and it’s April. Music got me back into the Christmas mood lol. It’s amazing how much technology they can fit in the small engines with dcc, sound and all. Great looking scenery as well!
Cool! hopefully it continues this season! It’s crazy how much the small engines can do now
@@PghTrainFanatic you’ve done such a great job!
My boyfriend and I are would like to use an N scale train with lube to drive it into our buttholes.
Could you please make us a layout? One end will need to be able to launch a train into a magical mystery chasm. We’ll provide the chasm 😉
Hi I'm not so interrested in trains or layout because I don't have the roomspace for it.
But I love , how you did it. Looks so realistic with the little figures on it. Lovely trains, nice sound of the trains.
It's a real winter wonderland ! Therefore ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👏👏👏👏👏
Greetings and best wishes !
Thank you very much! That is the nice thing about N scale is you can make a mini layout even smaller then this one and still enjoy a train running.
AWESOME, EXCELLENT and PERFECT!!!!! I enjoyed the music very much!!! I hope you are not HOME ALONE when you run it. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
It is amazing what can be accomplished in a small space. Excellent work. I just started a 4x4 foot N gauge layout and learning as I go along. I also am using KATO track, you can’t beat Kato for its reliability. 👍👍👍.
Thanks so much! Good luck with your project!
Awesome Christmas layout, I built one in n scale a few years ago, I should bring it out this Christmas!
if they made edible unitrack, you could build the whole dang thing like a cake and eat it when you're done playing with it....
An EMD E7A/B carrying freight?
I guess they were on the naughty list!
We’ll come back around 9 o’clock. Yeah kids are scared of the dark.
Very nicely done and the sound takes this over the top! I was thinking about doing a similar, scratch-built layout in time for Christmas this year. I'm thinking about topping it off with an an N scale town square Christmas tree wrapped in multicolor LEDs. This gives me some ideas. Thanks!
Thanks so much. Only issue with the music is it demonetized this video. But it’s worth it. Many people got to see how I can model multi scales and follow me now. Your idea sounds great! Stick to it and make it come to life! Have fun!
En un espacio muy reducido, una excelente maqueta. Hermosa música en el vídeo.
Carlos Fuentes zang👍🏼👍🏼
Wow! I have 5 stripe version of the E units. Never bought M1 in n scale.
Super layout.
Always loved this video. Watched it a lot when I was building my grandson’s first layout. 😂
Great tutorial & display. Brings back a lot of memories both sad and great. Have a merry Christmas my friend 👍🎄🎅🏼🎄👍
Awesome work, and the Home Alone soundtrack makes it even better.
Thank you! Only bad thing about home alone sound track is that it demonetizes the video lol
Outstanding job. Just watching the trains on this beautiful layout puts me in the holiday mood. Thanks so much for sharing this masterpiece with us.
Fantastic layout and the music was superb!
Sir, your artistry, skill and imagination are boundless! Wonderful wonderful and may I say wonderful! I'll bet Lily loves this too!
James Burns wow that's so nice of you James! Thanks a million! Yes, Lily loves the small layout, she's says how cute the trains are! 😄😄
Lovely job! Just gorgeous and so much fun to watch you design and build the layout!
This looks amazing. Good attention to detail in the scenery. I like that you used music from Home Alone for the progress photos.
Toby Pasman hey Toby, thanks buddy! Detail is my middle name lol. Lily got to watch home alone 1 & 2 for the first time this year and she loves the movies , so it was the inspiration for the music. I swear we've watched each one a few times lol
Love the description section you filthy animal LOL!!!!! You better not have hurt your o scale trains or else. This layout look perfect Nick. It was fun to watch it take shape and now see trains running on it. Your work is second to none and your skills really shine here. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Firehawk1218 LOL thank you very much Darren. This layout is a lot of fun packed into a small area. Really enjoy it! Oh There's more:
You was here last night too wasn't ya? Ya you was here, and you were smooching with my brother! You've been smooching with everybody, little now with the gimpy leg, cheeks boney babs, cliff...I could go on forever baby...get down on your knees and tell me ya love me....YOU GOTTA DO BETTER THAN THAT! Maybe I'm off my hinges, that's why I'm gonna let you go! 😂
Very nice! Hope to see it again this Christmas! 😊
Wow what a great Model Railroad for a small N scale layout.
SneakyAce05 Trains thanks so much! It really turned out well. Better than I had anticipated.
Small in size yet big on detail.
You are a great artist Nick. Once again thank you for having me over the other night to see this unbelievable little layout. The O-gauge layout is okay too, lol. Merry Christmas my friend.
ajmayowskijr thanks so much Al. This little layout turned out really cool. I'm also pleased with my o scale layout! 😂. Happy new year buddy and thanks for visiting!
Awesome job!! I think I may build something like this....great Christmas project!
You did such a fantastic job on this layout.....Seeing it at your house i was just amazed how beautiful this little layout is and being made out of foams really something.......Great job my friend............HAPPY NEW YEARS 2017!!!!!
escape150 I can't thank you enough Ron! It was fun having you and Al over to see the layouts. It's pretty cool how you can make an entire layout like this all out of foam. Makes it very easy to pick up and move. I def think you'll be seeing more little layouts like this from me. It's was a fun experience and maybe can be a little side gig lol. Happy New Years my friend!
Awesome layout and good locomotive selection
I appreciate that eben!
I love all of your layouts and this one is no exception. WELL DONE! Merry (late) Christmas and Happy New Year!
Ashleigh Williamson I appreciate that very much Ashleigh! When you say "all your layouts" I step back and think....I'm nuts lol. Happy holidays!

I’m so jelly ❤️❤️😍😍🙏
Wow Nick, that turned out fantastic. The scene just looks cold. What a great job you guys did!
mrlionel1965 hey Kenny! Thanks buddy I greatly appreciate it!! It's a fun little layout that can be moved around easily. It works very well too, the trains like never derail because I kept it simple and the Kato track is very nice.
Amazing!
Awesome little layout

escape150 home alone main title! 😁
Very nice work!
Really nice of you!! Thanks!
Very impressive.
Your amazing Nick...Thanks for sharing!
Mick Fisher thanks so much Mike. You're too kind!
Excellent job Nick!!!! "Beat that, you little trout sniffer." hahhaha! Great movie
Chuck F "trout sniffer" bahahaha. That part was hilarious
Beautiful detail.
Thanks so much!
Looks great Nick! Power Cab is a great choice! Thats what I have.
Bruk Bannister sweet! I like the power cab. Pretty easy to understand. Thanks bruk!
Super Cool. I enjoyed the music too. :) Merry Christmas!!
This is great Nick! Well done buddy!
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁!!!
mjc6184 thanks so much Michael!! Fun little trains to run too. But the o scale trains are the real fun ones!!
How did you wire the tracks? Is one transformer powering both trains or do you have two separate power packs? I can’t find anything on double circuit operations.
One power source but it’s running on DCC so it’s command controlled. If you want DC you’d need two separate transformers
Really nice! :-)
Thank you! I plan to do more small layouts like this in the future. Videos will be always posted so please sub if not already :)
@@PghTrainFanatic Great! I am working on small layout in Z scale. I want to put it into suitcase. Now, I have suitcase and railroads inside it. Your video is really good inspiration for me :-)
AWESOME work Nick!!!!!!!! Thanks bud and Merry Christmas! P.S. I did not know N scale locos had sound!
Bill Yates thanks a million Billy Y!! Yes some N scale locos have sounds now. It's crazy cool and you'd be surprised the sound they put out from a speaker that's prob smaller than a dime lol. Hope you have a happy new year buddy!
Beautiful layout!
Hi I was looking for how to build a winter layout and this is what I found thx
This is very nice! Well done!
obxbill01 thanks so very much!
What a awesome n scale layout Nick!
Jeff Bennett thanks you very much Jeff!! Glad you enjoyed!
Your welcome!
Awesome
Thank you Joe!
Ima attempt to make something very much alike to this, thanks for the inspiration brocowski
Would love to see a Christmas tree shape/cone layout. Double or single track that has them going up and coming down.
Thought of that idea before. Like the polar express climbing the mountain. Would have to travel across a bridge then back down a second mountain.
Nice job looks great.
Chris's O Scale thank you very much Chris!
Wow! A real winner!
Vista Bill Raley thank you very much
it looks awesome Nick! Happy New Year my friend
Guy Holloway thanks so much Guy! Happy new year to you also! May it be a great one!
Awesome job!
Fantastic Nick. That is alot of layout in a small space. Happy New Year my friend!!!
MrEngineergeorge thanks so much George! It really is a cool little thing. We had fun making it and running the trains on it. It runs flawlessly which is nice!
very nice, That would have taken me a good 2 years to construct. you did it in 5 minutes, very well done, happy holidays to you , and was the filthy animal part directed to me , or some one you love. lol
sparky107107 hahah thanks sparky!! This def did not take me 5 mins lol. I was calling all of you filthy animals to embrace the season and home alone! Lol. Thanks again buddy
so beautiful. as i mentioned i'd like to do a square 25'. not sure of the location or layout!
its a very interesting design problem, even before the art work..
maybe you know others in philly.
Low camera angle is fantastic..where's Kevin ?
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR
MICHAEL GLASS thanks Michael! Same to you!
I am a total newbie to molding. Could you tell me a good place to start. Why did you choose N scale? Is there an advantage over O or HO besides size?
Awesome!
maxrailroad thanks so much max!
Happy Holidays ya mixed nut!! Lol!!
steven williams bahahahaha thanks Steven!! Ya trout sniffer!! Lol
Saw this about...a few months ago? Anyways, absolutely loved it and the amount of detail put into it. A true labour of love it is. Job well done! Just out curiosity, but since you made this winter wonderland, ever thought about making a horrifying Halloweentown? Thanks!
Alexander Poirier thank you very much Alexander!!! This layout was fun to make and enjoy watching the trains run. A Halloween themed layout is a fantastic idea.
Did you use 2 NCE power cabs ????? For the diesel and the m1a
CP JJP no one NCE power cab with both tracks wired to it
PghTrainFanatic but how did you just control both locomotives with just one NCE controller ????
No town Christmas tree or Christmas lights? Jesus is gonna be mad!
Nice work. How long did it take to do?
Carsten Dittrich thank you! Hard to say, I did work on it for about 3 weeks I believe. On and off.
What did you use for those icicles? Epoxy? Plain glue?
No residence within the loop.... strictly by gov orders of saftey.
Wish you utilized some passenger cars.
About to start a new N scale layout and I acquired some LED lighted passenger cars and some other new things. Stay tuned
Home Aline music.
Yes what would it. Costme to have one build by you guys
How do the cars drive on the road? Not a lover of tail chaser layouts.
I know this music!
awsome
spangler 2005 thank you!!
What number key where you pressing on NCE power cab to make the guy talk in the Locomotive for the M1A 7:43
Can you provide some dimensions of the layout and the track?
Benjamin Haring it’s right at the beginning of the video, 30” x 40”. Using Kato Unitrack.
The music Is from home alone
Yes it is
What are the measurements if you want this layout in Ho Scale??
Hi I’m not sure. I’m not super familiar with track radius in HO scale. Too Many variables.
Nice job! What track radius are you using for the two ovals?
So, what happened to your old N scale layout?
RedEye Productions right after I made the video of the old n scale layout I decided to sell it. Honestly it has some major issues with the trackwork and derailments were non stop. Also, I'm not a fan of plaster cloth. It's too brittle. This one is just perfect now. 🙌🏼
Your layout is amazing .how did you paint your rocks ?
TH-cam needs a Facebook style LOVE ❤️ button!
I love it, is kato track used?
Thanks! Yes Kato unitrack
Fantastic! Do you have a track plan with the exact number and type of tracks?
I’m sorry I don’t. And I sold this layout so I can’t make one now. I’m Sorry.
What did you use to connect both wire both tracks to ??
I ran both sets of wires to the nce. Both to positive side and negative. Nothing fancy :)
PghTrainFanatic yes but what did you buy for connect both tracks for NCE ??
I didn’t buy anything...I just ran both sets of wires to the +/- posts on the NCE
PghTrainFanatic is there a way to show me how ????
Please I don’t know how this all works 🥺
Awesome! Is it just me or do these trains have better sounds than o gauge trains?
Sam'sTrains hey Sam. Thank you. I wouldn't say better, the sound quality is great in these engine but nothing compared to an o scale Legacy type locomotive. However I think the cab chatter is much more realistic sounding than what Lionel uses. It would be nice to hear some more detailed dialogs like this in Lionel trains.
Yeah. Maybe sometime in the future. It would be really nice to have something o gauge that had the same sort of crew dialog. Although I wish Lionel would use different horns in their diesels because it is starting to get a little boring.
What is the radius of the curves in the layout? From both tracks. Thanks.
How was the stone arch viaduct made?
