Would love to see more on how you made the custom turnouts

use foldable pignpong table maybe easier

Very cool

3D print switch video Please, Totally awesome!!

hey man i build segemtet rails on my rome so i can remove all or place it and my brigth is easy to isntall just put it in and conect the power nice vid man cya

super robota ale na srodkowych panelach bym zrobil laczenia miedzy nimi

Great idea and build, but isn't noisy to run trains without a cork road bed? Especially with a hallow box disign.

You’d love sipping and switching lol

@13:00 This seems like a good place for 3M inline tap "Suitcase" connectors. 🤷

I would using short sections of removable track to bridge the sections of the layout, to increase the long term reliability. After repeated assembly, the track will not line up with the same precision.

Interesting Video. Did you 3D print your own radius guides? If so, do you have the file available or could you provide where to download them from? I’m also interested in the 3D printed turnout and module alignment pins. Looks like you used FreeCAD in addition to Blender. Thank You in advance.

When assembling and disassembling you could put a weight of some kind on or near the center seam to help prevent the tipping issue.

Tengo pensado hacer algo similar, pero haciendo la unión de las piezaa con imanes de neodimio. No sé qué resultado dará.

Yikes! You're right, that's not how to solder wires. Twist the two ends together to make a stronger mechanical connection. Don't just wrap one wire around the other.

Check out WAGO and GeekMarr lever nuts for multiple flexible/patchable contacts. They a dream for track wiring !

Look up how to twist a Western Union Splice. Use Rosen core 61/39 solder and stop using the can of flux paste. Not necessary.

Holy cow my layout which is all foam can go anywhere anytime without all this fuss But each to his own it is a great layout Mine is also Ho scale 1.5m x 810 mm wide 2 loops and staging track hello from Australia new sub 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Sir, On your video 14:45 if you don't mind me asking why didn't you go with flex track throughout the upper level? I would think it would have been less cost effective than using lots of sectional track. Please let me know what you think about this. Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan

Hello Sir, This is my first time watching your videos and I'm new in this hobby. I have no experience none whatsoever in building the table as well as wiring ,scenery and everything else about model railroading, but I'm willing to learn and get over my fear of ruining something that could have been easy to install. Earlier you spoke about wiring and you were showing us how you made up the connections. Were you making bus line connections or are they feeder lines? See I don't know the difference and what did you mean by when you said that the red wire goes to the top left rail and the black goes on the bottom right rail. I'm trying to get a understanding of what you meant by that statement. So if I'm standing in front of my transformer looking at the layout every piece of track on the top rail is red and looking down at the bottom rail should be black right? What about if you have a reverse loop? That's what I don't understand about wiring. Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan

3:06 masking tape…..

oh man, ya gotta make that video. Neighbor has a printer I need to know how to make them.

Awesome 👌

I just do not understand why you didn’t use a bench or folding table for a stable platform 🤔

When you disassemble it, try putting the end and one side together, then adding the second side. This may offer more stability with the existing pieces.

One major fault... you should have two alignment pins in all joints. Even between the two longside boards.

Yes it would be super interesting to see how you bult the turnouts. Do you sell the print files on cults3d?

13:42: size of that rail gap ..................... and the price of cheese already

Hi there I'm planning to build a modular layout and I've just watched 1/2 the video and subscribed I'd like to see how you did the turnouts

Seems like you needed baseboard alignment connectors between the two center boards. They could just be low-tolerance loose connectors with some play to get the assembly started.

Great build. I'd maybe add some pins between to the two middle pieces so you can secure them together first before the end pieces. Might make assembly a bit easier. Excellent work though :)

I would like also see hou you built the switches and the frame connecters, maybe someday I will get the chance to build another layout. 3D printing I would like to try.

So why @ 3:30 - you FAILED to apply glue to the sides and ends, where the internal bracing meet these, as surely - as just leaving them UNGLUED weakens the entire section.? I would have pulled the glue-line right UP at each intersection with the internal bracing, as the VERTICAL joins, would have given the structure so much "more" inflexible support, than simply gluing the top to the bracing "alone". I stopped watching at that timestamp, as the LACK of forethought on the gluing of the internal structure, weakens the entire project so much, that several problems will arise the more this is pulled apart and reassembled. I too have built many model layouts, as well as worked for a full scale national railroad, so know the pitfalls of what you have so "quickly done". Maybe you should have gone to your local library and taken out several model railroad "baseboard building" instruction books, to learn that the sideway forces exerted onto portable layouts, extends far beyond simple one plane gluing, (of just ONE EDGE onto the top, with no consideration given to the ends where they meet the sidewalls - especially given the simplicity it requires, to run a glue-line up the side walls - (where the ends of the internal bracing meets these verticals).

Yes , I would love to see how you built the switches! Great 3D print of the connectors!!

Hey, your video is very interesting and have a new technic. Your baseplate is a box. I have`'nt saw this anytime. Its cracy, but brillant. But your baseplate of the middle needs fixpoints. Or leigh down a helping-frame under the baseplates. I'm excited to see what happens next All the best to you and warm greetings from Germany Jörg (sorry for my rusty english 😇)

I have a Three level Layout.My Train goes up and down

Great idea, excellent video and nice job! 👍 Looks like both middle sections needs at least one pluggable central pin just to prevent tipping over.. 😬

You might read model railroader and look at some videos on putting legs on your table.

As a model railroader who is a retired electrical engineer you should tinted the wires before soldering the wires. I hope you soldering the flex track on the curve to prevent kinky the turns of your layout because the track will move with different temperatures.

You must be an engineer (or similar) by trade. All the fancy 3D printing is over the top, but I’m confused: why the 1/4” skin for the framework etc, and why the choice to not put down a layer of foam?

Great craftmanship!!!

There’s a Roundhouse products box in the thumbnail, what’s in it?

Hi, very nice idea and excellent craftsmanship. What size is the whole layout. Keep up the good work. 👍

Those 3D printed module aligment pins are great, do you have them posted someplace?

Parabéns pelo trabalho, está ficando excelente! Estou trabalhando em algo parecido aqui no Brasil, no meu caso é justamente falta de espaço para deixar um layout montado . Sucesso com seu layout!!

please do a video of how you made the curved turnouts thank you

Nice work and helpful - much appreciated.

Excellent start! Those bodyshop stands are probably the LAST choice I would choose. I really like this idea and have a small layout i transport to display in shows and whatever. Nice work ! Very interested in seeing where this goes!

Very nice!I'm a big fan of grain elevators (and covered hoppers), but we don't have few, if any wood elevators here in Central California. When I was a kid, my parents and I went on a road trip to Canada and I fell in love with the old red elevators there. I model the WP and I'll be using "artistic license" to have red grain elevator on my switching layout.

Great work

Nice video! you inspired me to try doing this myself! how did you get the wheelsets to print so high quality on FDM? I have had to resort to printing them out in 3 parts and gluing them together for my cars. if you could help that would be nice. cheers
