Cool 😎 to see how you built the lumber base of this layout. Very much like the way you explain the getting to the right grades. The educational aspect of this vid is awesome 👏.
Thanks 🙏 for sharing!
I've really enjoyed binge watching all three parts of this series today. Happy 4th of July.
Another helpful video. When last I considered bench work L girder construction with 1x3 pine was the standard approach. Using plywood, watching how you design modules, and maximizing surface area of the plywood has answered a lot of questions about how I'm going to approach my next layout. Thanks!
Really enjoyed this series. Having never built a model railroad it was very interesting to see what’s involved in building one.
Like the idea of the layout..
I am really fascinated by the process. I now understand how you do your work.
It’s Great Thereaputic Activity Cool Beans.
Your work is awesome. i'm sure you have heard that more than a few times. I want one of these iIt would fit in my space very well. I'm sure I can't come even close to your work, but your videos are an inspiration at a time where I have been trying to plan my next layout. Will be studying your videos closely. Thank you!
WOW, THIS IS an AMZING service....NEVER knew this was something someone would do.....LOVE IT.
Yep there's a few of us around the United States. It's a fun job I've had the honor of doing for 10 years now.
Awesome!
Nice layout. You guys did a great job.
I still do not understand how this video got 50K views and my other videos are hovering between 1 - 4,000 views. The UA-cam algorithm is nuts. BTW Please Subscribe!!!
great video. I've just started building my On30 layout, so your videos will come in handy..
What a fun looking track
thank you great detail video on how to build a layout from start to finish
Glad you enjoyed it
Okay, this is artwork!!!
Great stuff! Love the format of your videos: continuous time lapse with narration. Keep it up.
Glad you enjoy it!
Amazing…thank you
wow you are excellnt! great job
Due to Popular demand, I will be making the track plan, parts list and 1:1 prints available for this layout at some point. The example in the video was drawn with Märklin track so I will need to redraw it with Atlas before I can release it.
Also for those curious, the project cost for this layout was around $5000. Yes I'm happy to build you a copy or a modified copy. please visit my website for details. www.modelrailroabenchwork.com
Bad Ass. Mad Skills. Looks Incredible
Geez...no wonder you're tuckered out. Look how fast you go! :)
Your channel is really cool, I’m enjoying the process. How about something on table top or shelf modules, especially on how to deal with corner pieces and connections?
I'll add it to the ideas list.
Nice size route for one person
I have to agree. It turned into a really nice little layout. Hopefully at some point the owner will send me some update photos. I’d really like to see what it looks like finished
Watching this series convinced me to subscribe and RING THE BELL. Love your efficiency of material use.
Quick question: Have you ever or heard of using WING NUTS and Machine screws to join benchwork modules? If so, how would you do it?
My RxR Club has a problem. Each Christmas and Spring/Summer seasons we take our portable module layout for STEAM Educational demonstrations.
Repeatedly using wood screws to dismantle and reassembly the table units has resulted in benchwork getting chewed away.
So what do you think of WING NUTS, or am I just a wing nut?
~Jim
I love your question and I'm going to make a video on this, but in the mean time, Yes bolts are 10000% better than using screws to secure together temporary layouts. The trick is to use bolts that are not threaded the full length. Typically these will be 5/16's or larger varieties and you may have to get bolts than are longer than necessary to get a bolt with an unthreaded section of 1 to 1 1/4 inches. The idea here is that the unthreaded part of the bolt acts like an alignment pin. Keep in mind that I said bolt, not machine screws. Hex bolts make assembly and disassembly faster as you can use a cordless tool to install them if desired and there's more to grab ahold of if something gets stuck. All that said, when I was setting up temporary layouts 6-12 times a year for shows my group found that C clamps were more than sufficient to hold the layout together and it made "fine tuning" the layout much much easier.
It's funny what you said about Black and Decker. I've got a B&D jigsaw that's 20 years old and still going strong, so is my 15 yo router.
Genuinely it's really only the tools made in the last 15-20 years that are really junk leaving the store. Stuff made prior to that really does hold up regardless of manufacture.
Love your work, Great design, Is that track plan available anywhere?
I've actually had a few requests for this so I will be making that available in my store sometime soon.
I need a new adventure in life. This may be it. Question though, is most of the fun in planning and construction? Does the layout get old or boring after a while?
Everyone enjoys parts of it the most but if you make a layout you like to watch or operate you won’t get bored quick
You are a Master Carpenter. AMAZING!!!!! BUT.... please do not take this the wrong way. For me, half the fun is building my own layout.
I totally get that. For my clients it's either a time issue or a ability/ lack of tools issue. Basically my service helps them skip most, if not all, of the woodwork so they can get to the track, scenery and hundreds of other projects that go into a model railroad. I realize it's not for everyone but if nothing else hopefully my videos serve as a source of inspiration or ideas for those who do wish to take on the benchwork task themselves.
@@MRBenchwork I am currently extending my O Gauge layout. And I am definitely admiring your work. Being a construction Electrician, the electric is easy for me. I have some, I am being generous with some, carpentry skills. No where CLOSE to your talent. But, I am having fun. Thanks for the videos!!! Giving me great ideas!!
I have a 10 x11 space that I will be using for an HO layout. I like your 8x13 layout but my space is too small for it. Could this design be reduced to work in my space?
@@davidboyd6463 Truthfully, Maybe, but unlikely unless you are going to go to N scale. This layout in particular is based on a 12 x 20 HO layout so it's already squeezed as much as is practical. Honestly it would really depend on your room's access point as to the feasibility.
Thank you for your suggestion on a track plan for my space. Can you recommend the smallest radius curves I should use for my HO layout? I model the 60’s.
Thanks in advance,
David
Thank you for your reply and suggestions on a layout that could fit in my space.
I’d like to ask your recommendation on the smallest radius I should use to keep the curves looking as realistic as possible. I am modeling the 60’s so my locos and cars are smaller.
Thanks in advance for your help,
David
@@davidboyd6463 The largest radius you can fit is the real answer but if you can shoot for a minimum 22" you should be good for most things that are not excessively long like passenger cars, auto racks and such. That said, Pretty much anything made these days will run on an 18" radius but it will look weird and not be 100% reliable if it's much more than 40ft box cars pulled with a 4 wheel diesel loco.
Thank you so much!

Some people create their elevations on top of flat benchwork with foam. You create your elevations with the benchwork. Is creating benchwork elevations your recommendation over using foam on top of flat benchwork?
Both methods are valid but I do prefer plywood subroadbed as it gives you more options for scenery, track mounting and accessory mounting like switch machines and such.
What is the maximum radius on the curves?
Absolutely beautiful work.
I think this one was 15 or 18" minimum radius. It was designed for European standards which means the cars are a little shorter in both length and height.
Just wondering where you get your layout printouts. Really like the idea of full size printout
I have a plotter and provide the printing service upon request. Typically it's $1-$2 a sq ft
Do you have a list of available track plans for possible print out
If I Am Not mistaken Some Ho Modelers Go so Gonzo But it’s All Good.
how much can something like this cost. exact HO Scale layout. Same Measurements etc Thank you
Cost for this particular project was $3640 plus shipping.
Would you recommend this type of project for a complete first timer?
No. grades in particular can make or break a fist time modeler. I recommend building something flat first and using that to build modeling and wiring skills.
@@MRBenchwork
Thank you!
Sir how much for this lay out. This will work perfect for my basement. And what is the delivery time for it. My grandson and I would love to assemble it and start putting track to it. I know how to do the layout stuff but don’t have the space or tools to build it.
If not how much for the drawings and I can get a cabinet company local make it.
MArk Berger
I've gotten this question quite a bit. I'm working on making a kit of sorts for the drawings with a track list but I'm so busy I haven't gotten to it yet. If I were to build the benchwork for you it would be $5200 + shipping.
Sir
This is what I am looking for.
If you don't mind how much is this layout
Please see the Pinned comment.
The big question, how much you charge for a build like this one ?😁
Most of my benchwork projects are priced around $50 a sq ft. Added things like multiple decks, cork, track and other things will increase that.
Is this track plan available yet ?
No not yet sorry. It's been an insane year and I just got caught up enough to remodel my shop for next years projects. Email me however and I'll see what I can do.
@@MRBenchwork thank you for getting back to me. That is the perfect size for my area. Don't need full size drawings , just a basic plan with elevations . Thank you so much. Happy Holidays.
@@MRBenchwork
Emailed you last year about these plans . Available yet ? Thanks
When do we get to see new videos
I post something every 2 weeks.
I am subscribed have not seen anything in3 years
@@allenbarnes7202 If you are talking about content on this specific layout, you won't see it. I built this for a client and shipped it to him. That said for content in general you can find that here: www.youtube.com/@MRBenchwork/videos
I fixed my problem,
One thing of utmost importance, you are in a closed place, no matter how ventilated it is I saw the wood saw dust on the floor, please please wear a ventilated mask or have a device that sucks the dust so it does not get in your lung, last thing you want to have is lung fibrosis, take it from a physician, JM 2 cents, god bless.
I do have dust collection, and an air filtration system but your advice is warranted. Honestly dust has been a huge battle for a very long time. I do wear a mask when cutting a lot of material and I do leave the shop specifically to let the dust settle. Keep in mind that what you see in these videos is a very edited down version of the build process and typically its time lapse because I have fans, and AC running. In most cases I'm only actually working in one to two hour increments.
