Awesome build! I thought a cool idea might be a sort of Jurassic Park but for monsters in the wild imaginary west. Maybe some rich guy made a “monster zoo” but life would find a way if you know what I mean….. This video made me come up with this because I was trying to guess what the train cars would be before you put them on and what I guessed was maybe a monster in a cage which made me do my own subconscious world building. Great video!
Your train layouts keep getting better and better! If you want a more “steam locomotive-y” chassis then the smaller 0-4-0 and 0-6-0 chassis are great on sharp curves. A great example of the 0-4-0s would be the B&O C-16 class locomotives that were build purely for industrial waterfront switching. There are many photos of the sharp curves they run on which is quite silly to your every day railroad. I love your spaghetti western models!
If you like arches, my favorite arch in Utah is a lesser known arch in the Vernal area called Moonshine Arch. It was named such because during the prohibition area people would sneak into moonshine arch and brew illegal alchohol. It is a short hike from the road and you can walk underneath as well as on top of the arch. This build reminded me a lot of it.
The gray part of the molded roadbed on the track is supposed to represent gray ballast. In the wild imaginary west, I doubt they would import gray ballast from someplace else just for the trains. So, for your next build color the track base to match your scenery and rock materials. Then, hand paint the ties if you want them to stand out. Otherwise, great job!
Unless I'm mistaken, the shell you designed for this project somewhat resembles 'Dolgoch', which runs on the first preserved railway in the world. The volunteers who run 'Dolgoch' have given her the nickname "The Old Lady", which is really charming.
The model railroad world awaits a future commitment to a Wild Imaginary West themed railroad. I love the idea of printing your own locos and placing them on mechanisms. You'll take the hobby by storm. 😉
So beautiful! Maybe a train driver and a few resting workers outside the tunnel will make the scenery even more "alive"? Or a creature, waiting for it's bite (like a sushi on a rail...) 😉
Once again you have proven that a working model railroad layout doesn't need to be big to be interesting and relaxing! Great job, Boylei! Please keep 'em coming! My Like is in the 1.2Ks
I love the model train builds you make. Trains aren't normally something I have any interest in, but the seeing something inhabit the beautiful scenery you've created is just amazing. Good luck with the rest of the campaign!
I love your world building. I have a suggestion for a future project: maybe you can build a Jurassic Park Model for next years Jurassic-June in celebration for the next Jurassic World movie.
For me this started as a toilet partly because you brought it up lol. Then morphed into some sort of elephant toilet and then an amazing diorama with a train lol great job.
IMAGINARY WEST IDEA: have train tracks do a loop de loop, ofc have a big gun on one of the carriages and mid loop have it shoot a big bird of something. Maybe the loop serves an important strategically advantage when killing wildlife
Since it is very near Halloween, maybe you should do some kind of horror themed diorama challenge with your buddies. Would be fun to watch. Are there zombies in the Wild Imaginary West?
If you’re gonna connect all the dioramas together you could technically make a smeltery and connect the train tracks together and make the train loop around this diorama and the Smeltery diorama
Amazing, Awesome, and Perfect as always my friend. Sorry I wasn't able to watch the last couple weeks, when they came out, I was in the hospital, but I am back now and loving the builds you do once again, couldn't wait to get out so I could watch these videos and get some of the joy I get from your Imaginary Wild West construction. Keep up the great work, my friend. 🙂👍👍👍
For the train itself Try the kato steeple cab It’s a small 4 wheeled little train with couplers on each side to couple to other pieces of rolling stock that is also sold There really small and are practically built for this layout you have here . I recommend getting one that comes with extra pieces . A 3 set of the steeple cab itself one open wagon to put things in like little logs or fabric or anything and a final piece being the caboose or break-van or whatever it’s called to different people that has 2 gaps for logs or whatever else you want in it This little set is about £30 in the uk and cheap anywhere really . I recommend this . I have 2 and I love them both dearly There is also people out there who make body-shells for them to swap out to make it from electric to a diesel . My favourite is budget model railways who makes some cool ones Anyways here’s my advice for a little train . Have a good day Bye
Congratulations on your kickstarter doing so well on kickstarter. You are so talented and even though this is not a game I could play because I don’t have any friend that would enjoy playing this game with me. I used to play D&D campaigns all the time but I lost touch with those friends years ago. I do miss role playing. Anyway there couldn’t be a more deserving creator. Although I do not know you in real life, I do believe you are a good person. Congratulations again on that being a success and I wish you lots of sales for your game. It will bring so many people happiness, fun, bonding with others. It makes me happy to think about the smiles it will bring to people faces. Thank you for making this board game. It is so unique in my opinion and something that the board game/RPG world needed. Love your videos I watch every video you put out. Thanks.
A good alternative for narrow gauge is the Thomas and Friends OO9 narrow gauge collection. While the trains they replicate are IRL Welsh and are smaller then real life western narrow Gauge they could conceivably be useful on a short private railway in the Wild Imaginary West where the sorts of tramways that would in our world be horse drawn such as mines or logging would have to be mechanised. After all having a team of mules or bullocks might attract monsters and a steam engine can drive those whatchamacallit a that repel them. For the western fell add a chef's hat smokestack and a larger wooden cab. Then paint it in bright colours. In the real west they painted locomotives in garish bright colours. Jupiter, one of the engines at the Golden Spike has murals in little panels. Gosh darn murals!
This build is very on point for a long-term project I'm working on now. I'm starting with an N-Scale Kato Mikado engine and creating a layout with Atlas flex track which will surround a 1920s amusement park including a hand built wooden coaster. Since this is my first foray into electric trains I looked really closely at the Bachmann EZ track but the plastic track bed is just too hard to hide and also offers fewer curve options than flex track which is only limited by the engine's turning radius. Hopefully I'll be able to properly lay out and secure the track so I won't have a bunch of derailment issues, but hey, problem solving is one of my favorite things about building stuff from scratch!
I be lichen your Wild Wild Imaginary West series! Although I still haven't seen James West! (That's a reference to a 60s TV show!) It looks awesome! And it looks cool! Awesomely cool! It just needs a Pterodactyl or a Mammoth! Or maybe some caveman Indians! Two thumbs 👍 up!
Next time you make a locomotive on a trolly base, you might want to base it on a shay, Heisler, climax, or other geared locomotive. They were built to be powerful for their size, relatively inexpensive, and good at taking steep grades & sharp corners, at the cost of being very slow. Because of how they’re built, their wheel arrangement looks similar to the two-truck trolly base you used, more so than a traditional locomotive would. What’s more, they were very popular on logging & industrial railroads, and look very steampunk with all their exposed moving parts, so they’d fit in well in the wild imaginary west setting I think.
I like trains
Nice
I like trains
🧍♂️ 🚂
I like trains
Str8 to the comments!! And read trains!!! Oh boy!!!
Thanks for the shout-out! Very cool project!
Wow
Steve
I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS FOR YEARS AND ONLY JUST REALISED THE JUNK IN YOUR INTRO SPELLS BOYLEI OMFG
Same I only realize a few months ago
A fantastic example of how you can see yourself blind i guess? 😂
Holy shit!!
Hol up what
you never knew when i first watched 3 years ago i saw it said boylei

_"We have the most perfectly tuned forestalls surrounding these free-roam exhibitions, spared no expense!"_
Yes! He should totally do that.
I mean he did make a monster circus awhile back so if some can be trained I'm sure others can be kept in captivity... atleast, temporarily
That’s a great idea. I’m sure nothing bad would ever come of that.
This would be very cool
DUDE, THAT FIRST SHOT WHERE THE CAMERA FOLLOWS THE TRIAN WAS JUST MWAH CHEFS KISS!
Amazing diorama as always! 👏 Excited to explore this gold mine at Mammoth Rock in the WIW RPG. Only a few days left!
Steve’s Trains is the channel to visit for small layout techniques! Glad he was able to assist you. Very nice job. Thanks for sharing!
I'm always amazed at how incredible your rock features turn out.
Same, making organic looking rocks is something i still need some practice with.
Same, making organic looking rocks is something i still need some practice with.
I love it when this guy makes train videos
An armoured train getting attacked by monsters would be awesome 👌 + some cool machines things
9:37 Syncing the train and camera up for this shot worked so well, such a good idea.
This is honestly the best art channel on TH-cam
I like how he is acually talking to you, very relaxing.
Another cool build. Recently my gals friend gave us some old toys and in the box was HO train cars and an engine. I felt like a kid again.
Might I suggest a little LED Lantern on the front of the train? Would make for an epic shot as it comes out the tunnel.
Your train layouts keep getting better and better! If you want a more “steam locomotive-y” chassis then the smaller 0-4-0 and 0-6-0 chassis are great on sharp curves.

Fun build. I’ve been having way too much fun watching the Kickstarter campaign. So exciting to watch. (I pledged too!)
You should make a diorama that's a train bridge in the middle of being blown up by some bandits. Pull out some of your cool smoke and fire effects
The gray part of the molded roadbed on the track is supposed to represent gray ballast. In the wild imaginary west, I doubt they would import gray ballast from someplace else just for the trains. So, for your next build color the track base to match your scenery and rock materials. Then, hand paint the ties if you want them to stand out. Otherwise, great job!
Or remove them and put the tracks on the ground. Everything else is top!
Still cant get over how well black 4.0 works. nice work again.
It's a good time to be a Boylei Hobby Time fan.
yippee its a good day when i get more wild imaginary west content
Your train videos are my favorite, as an aspiring model railroader you have helped me with my canyons!
Unless I'm mistaken, the shell you designed for this project somewhat resembles 'Dolgoch', which runs on the first preserved railway in the world.
The volunteers who run 'Dolgoch' have given her the nickname "The Old Lady", which is really charming.
Gosh, I really like that song for the glamor shots

And smoke! Where is the smoke?! ;)
that train glam shoot at the beging of the glam shots was amzing it looked like a movie
Once again you have proven that a working model railroad layout doesn't need to be big to be interesting and relaxing! Great job, Boylei! Please keep 'em coming!
My Like is in the 1.2Ks
Very cool terrain on this one!
I've said it before: your patrons are a very talented bunch! They've presented some great projects!
I love the model train builds you make. Trains aren't normally something I have any interest in, but the seeing something inhabit the beautiful scenery you've created is just amazing. Good luck with the rest of the campaign!
That glamour shot where we follow the train through the curve is just so very satisfying
I love your world building. I have a suggestion for a future project: maybe you can build a Jurassic Park Model for next years Jurassic-June in celebration for the next Jurassic World movie.
I love trains, and this build was fantastic!
I never imagined I would see a reference to An American Tail in a modern video. What a trip down memory lane
excellent again. your stuff is always excellent.... but you have GOT to paint that grey plastic roadbed/trackbed!!
best wishes with the WIW venture!
I love these train builds. Your rocky terrain always looks so good.
For me this started as a toilet partly because you brought it up lol. Then morphed into some sort of elephant toilet and then an amazing diorama with a train lol great job.

I recommend this . I have 2 and I love them both dearly
There is also people out there who make body-shells for them to swap out to make it from electric to a diesel . My favourite is budget model railways who makes some cool ones
Anyways here’s my advice for a little train .
Have a good day
Bye
Nice work! That opening showcase shot of the spin while tracking the train was brilliant!
I can't describe how much I would love to see your Warhammer 40k Train Knight interacting with this diorama!
Amazing! It really does look like a mammoth too
Tchoo-tchoooo
Back to the basics !
Nice to see how rich the WIW universe is
It’s so satisfying watching these masterpieces come to shape keep up the good work!
Another happy Sunday
...also just 17k subscriber to a million💯
Delicate Arch, that's what it's called. Great build.
That flashed back soo many childhood memories
The train videos are always the best
I Have Started Watching All of Your Videos and I Like All Year Diorama Projects. Keep Up the Amazing Job

Mammoth Rock is fabulous!
Absolutely incredible work young man, very impressive!
Always fun to see these
I didn't expect this crossover! Steve is awesome. I kinda want to see how small will a track radius go 🌚
A year and a half ago your earlier train diorama inspired me to build a model railroad. Last weekendi shared it at a train show nearby.
Nice little build, would be something to get all of your little railroads connected to become one giant Wild West Railroad.👍
movie or book series would be perfect ngl
Naw the first vid with trains was good, the second was good, now this! It TOPS IT! Your train layout looks Awesome!
adorable. :) I was about to say that the thumbnail made me think, "what a strange skull!" ;)
This turned out cool. I love the train sets. I would have added a monster at the top of the rock
Nice work! I think a monster sneaking up on a conductor would be cool
You have such an amazing imagination to keep coming up with so many great ideas.
Excellent surprise while drinking my morning tea.

This reminds me a lot of that old custom train robbery build which is 1 of my favorite videos that I did
a rock terrain master* both carving and painting.
Awesome job!
Keep it up!

It looks cool! I don’t know if you meant to, but the mountain looks like a skull and the train/cars look like teeth. Love your work and channel!
World-Famous Skibidi Arch.
Also, good luck with the game launch, cool to see your universe expand.
Lovely diorama. Its so simple but beautiful❤
Another excellent craft. Now all that's missing is a little Sasquatch hiding among the rocks.
he called it good!!!
That Looks amazing you've got some real Talent 👍👍👍👍👍👍
We need a workshop tour buddy!!
Love the channel, keep up the good work
This is gorgeous
This man deserves 1 mil subs
Very inspiring, as always 😊.
This man is a genius
Beautiful.
Been waiting whole week for this
Awesome build. It'd be cool to add a simple spur off each micro layout so they could be connected together to make one large one
Like the Mammoth label. I was thinking it reminds me of an iron. Could be the Iron Works railway.
i know u upload every Sunday and i know its Sunday today but seen noti of ur video makes my day lil better.
Another great build!
That is a great diorama. I bet you could set it up as a "book end" diorama with one of your mine shaft dioramas.
Cool as always. 👍
So pleasing. Thanks!
love this series! keep it up
I be lichen your Wild Wild Imaginary West series! Although I still haven't seen James West! (That's a reference to a 60s TV show!) It looks awesome! And it looks cool! Awesomely cool! It just needs a Pterodactyl or a Mammoth! Or maybe some caveman Indians! Two thumbs 👍 up!
You should combine all of your WIW dioramas to make one massive piece
I now want life-sized skibidi toilet!!!!!!
🙋♂️🚽
brilliant work
