I am just now finding these older video's and WOW, you are not just a "builder", but a true artist.
I’ll soon be traveling extensively in a 36’ motorhome and have been agonizing about leaving my trains behind but not any more! Thank you for this!
I prefer my layouts a bit larger, but this is a Beautiful little layout and well crafted or rather a fine piece of artwork really honestly WELL DONE!!
Amazing layout in such a small space! I loved watching the construction. The little control box is awesome!
Broooooo!!!!! That controller...is Noone going to talk about those controls...your epic...
I didn't see it at first, but finished - the brilliance is showing. Very nice.
Thanks for sharing...
I just love the work you do Steve in building these small layouts. They are just amazing. Great job.
An absolutely fabulous layout, as are all of your layouts. Another masterpiece Steve. Well done and thanks for sharing.
This is my favorite of your mini layouts, what a gem! I watched the entire playlist since I'm designing and getting ready to build a small shelf layout. I love the elevation changes in your road and scenery since it reminds me of the area I live in. Nice job!
Absolutely incredible work beautiful layout well designed & executed
couldn’t be nicer really enjoyed following your work
Big isn't always better. This layout is truly inspiring. Thanks.
I am super impressed with how you made Unitrack look like it was not Unitrack with the extra ballast, paint, washes, and details. It looks fantastic!
Thanks!
Superb work! Excellent in every way, including the filming. Thank you!
Thanks! I just wish I would have had something better at the time than an iPhone 5 to film most of it.
amazing layout Steve, thanks for sharing the construction techniques too
A real Jewel of a layout. Your creativity & skills are amazing. Thank You for sharing.
What a nice little layout! Perfect for someone who would want to live in a apartment and still have a layout to run. :)
What a great layout! So much detail in such a tiny space! :)
Excellent,,,very talented way of a lot in a small space I love the detailed time and work u put in very cool.
What an incredible layout on such a small footprint!
Wow that turned out awesome! Beautiful job on the scenery
Espectacular!!. Magnífico!!.
Wow, I think I found what I was needing. I just started this (hobby) two days ago. You, by far have shown (in speed view, without all the blah, blah, blah, the way it should be done ) me a very detailed way to make a layout. I hope to make mine on a 4 x 8, but I think your way is great. I've been binge-watching these videos for 2 days now. Glad I found yours!
I'm truck driver and this is for me so amazing, super🤗
Inspiring! The light rail is awesome particularly
This is something very beautiful!!!!
Nice layout love it
A Five Star project Steve. I watched your progress as you were building this and hope to use some of your ideas. Your talk of the street lights did make me check out and purchase the same type. Also enjoyed the extra "little hands" that helped you sand on the road. Again, thanks for sharing and well done Steve, the best to you and your family.
Thanks!
Mind Blowing good details are awsome.
It's so small you almost can put it in a suitcase and take it with you on your hollidays, LOL. Great result by the way. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Why would anyone ever dislike this video? Great work very inspiring.
You sure packed a lot of railroad in that little space! Beautiful modeling too by the way. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! It was certainly a fun project.
Man, you texture technique is outstanding! Blending skills great to.
The model is magnificent.
You made ballasting look very easy.Thanks.
Having only been introduced to unitrack a couple of years ago it's now becoming more of a regular feature of most of my layout builds. Mainly because I have seen how good it can be made to look by watching your videos.
Taken quite a bit of inspiration from this project mate and have now started working on my own version but based in the UK (around Derbyshire).
Hi James
I would like to see your project!
Cheers
Richard
Auténtica maqueta. Enhorabuena
Love it. Some much detail in small area.
Stunning! Such a beautiful layout in a small space
Thanks!
Wish I had a fraction of your skills... and patience...
I like the way you made .Thanks.
Hey dude i seen u at the OKC train show a few years back . Seeing it in person does way more justice .. so much way cool stuff packed in such a small place . . Never forgot it . .
Awesome!!!!!😄😄😄 What great attention paid to detail!!!
Very nice layout, good detail. Gives me some ideas for my layout. Thanks for sharing the video.👍
Really really wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
This is truly a masterpiece!
Absolutely stunning. Top job !
Nicely done....like seeing the little pair of hand helping too
Excellent video and really really well made layout! Bravo!
Excellent work. I'm about to build my first layout on a baseboard the same size. This layout has given me a lot of ideas especially the top section. Thanks.
Your roads look fantastic!
Well done! Work of art!
Absolutely brilliant!
watched the series a while ago - this is a nice summary - excellent work as always
Thanks!
Ok you are a genius and an artist!
Wow what a beautiful layout!
Excellent job! Very nice layout.
Fantástico e com um ótimo controle!
Abraço
Beautiful! Unitrack is THE way to go. A layout doesn't have to be large to be interesting. It's all in the details.
Thanks!
I've gone to Unitrack. it's realistic enuf for me
You're such a talented guy and you definitely don't leave anything out when you do these layouts.
Thanks!
Great design, construction and video!!!!
That looks just like my dream layout!
Wow!!! Superb!!!! Well done!!!
This may just be what I need to get started on my first layout.
Very nice layout! Most likely the size that I’ll have room for.
absolutely beautiful! I want to get into building an N scale layout... but am so overwhelmed with the foam, adhesives, etc. Im excited, and this video is inspirational!
I am in the same boat as you. What I did is made a little diorama 14" x 24" in H.O.
Just to see how it works. I am very happy with results. I will now do n scale mini layout 2 x 3.
P.S. watch Luke Towan on TH-cam. I learned a lot from him.
Haha, I remember helping my dad on projects from cars to trains and everything in between when I was young... Oh you wanna help? here sand this. lol!!!! love the layout, gonna make a 2x3 layout here soon! this ones tempting!! Cheers!
Beautiful work!
I always start off with 4 x 2 feet and I always end up with 6-7 x 3 - Not that I am complaining - Nice work, well impressed
N scale mini layout 2×3 ft , Kato tracks.
Good job my friend.
Awesome little layout I love it !!!
Very, very nice; evocative.

tayronachan Thanks again. Some of my videos have turned out nice others not so much. I wish I had the camera I have now back when I worked on this project though. Would have been nice to have had better quality video.
Good job for a small layout!

That’s an awesome work. 👍🏼
Thanks!

Regards from Berlin 🇩🇪
Amazing work!
Thanks a lot!
One of these on top of a p[lanted fish tank with real water coming off a waterfall to a river draining back into the tank would be such a cool cross niche idea. Thanks for the inspiration and idea.. I knew about n gauge but it's been so long I forgot how tiny they are.
That was pretty cool!
Great to see the "instant" progress on a layout! If only things could be fasterer ;)
Fantastic
Awesome work Hope to see more videos
good work, i like it
Greet from germany
