You really should buy 5-6 more trains in case you can’t get them in 20, 30, 40+ years. That table will last into the next ice age. Your grandchildren will thank you for the replacement parts.
@@hamiltonsullivan6563 As old as I am, I know that in 40yrs, electricity itself might be outdated. 😏 Get extra trains so they can figure out how to make them run on grifalda spice or whatever.
This is how UA-cam really shines. We as viewers get to find incredibly creative people and their projects, and you as a creator (hopefully) get to see the kind of interest/demand there is for things like this when one of your videos goes viral. I have no idea if you have any interest in reproducing more tables like this, but I’m sure you could do pretty well selling in a marketplace like Etsy. And it’s an idea that can be expanded upon in so many ways (ie track layouts, table size, etc). Great job!
I have just finished watching the whole video. To say that I’m blown away is a pathetic understatement. Never in my life (77 yrs) have I seen such creativity and passion and meticulous work. The final product is beyond amazing. Sincere congratulations to this master craftsman.
sir this must be crazy for you right?you probably had black/white tv when you were young but you can watch some random dude make a train table on the mini tv and you can get in contact with them. and some Turkish dude replies on your comment :)
@@yolbulucu Crazy is absolutely correct. When I was young, we didn’t have a tv. There was huge excitement in the family when we bought a black/white tv. I was ten years old. I still have a sense of amazement when I use my cellphone to communicate with a relative thousands of miles away on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. I frequently wonder what my grandchildren will have access to.
@@michaelgoble8200 yeah i totally understand. i am not that old (32yo) and i grow up in a village in northeast turkey.we did not even had stores in our village. but now i can design something in my computer and the magical machine in my living room (3d printer) makes that thing. and if i struggle in any point i can talk with machines to guide me.
That's the best coffee table I've ever seen!!! You could totally load the little carts up with some crushed minerals to make their contents extra sparkly 😁
I'm gonna start this off by saying that i absolutely love this idea and your execution of it, particularly the fact that it isnt just a small circular loop of track. That being said, the shape of the valley ontop, coupled with the hinges to open the table for access, reminds me a fair bit of a toilet seat.
My grandfather used to love working on scale model trains of all shapes and sizes, from tiny ones to circle the Christmas tree and living room to ones large enough for children to ride on. He's still with us but largely confined to his rocking chair watching old movies these days. I think I'm going to send this video his way to watch, I'm sure he'd love to see a fun project like this come together!
@FullStackWoodworking Train in a toilet seat is a way better idea. Think about it, when do you really need to be looking at a train in your living room? You're in there to do something, not just sit idly. Now watching a little train while you're pooping would be the absolute best possible way to spend that time. You could make the world a more hygienic place by giving people something to look at that isn't their phones.
I was wondering if anyone else saw that😂😂. Amazing project though, and I love the little lamp posts in the top. Now you’ve done it once, you’ll make an even better and bigger one I bet!
I'm not generally into woodworking, but this was awesome. I especially liked that you also clearly know 3D printing and a bit of electronics, so you can pick the most appropriate tool for the job.
lol. For real though. While I think the concept is cool, the shape is pretty unfortunate. That’s the first thing that came to mind for me, and because of the way the edges are shaped, it looks wet. Cool concept, and a lot of good work though.
That’s truly an amazing result. It’s perfect for anyone who loves trains but doesn’t have the space for a full layout. You put a lot of details in that I would never have thought of. I even liked the rough passes on the CNC, it looked like a kind of topographical map.
I never knew your channel or T gauge trains existed. I'm glad both of those issues are now remedied. I used to have a fairly large HO scale setup but through some hardships many years ago I had to let it go. The apartment I live in now is way to small for a "normal" size layout so I've been trainless for some time. I knew about z scale but even that is a tough sell to the wife. I showed her these and she loves them. I may be getting back into model trains thanks to you. Also, subbed.
Your train table is exquisite.The design, the workmanship and the final product is simply mind-blowing. I was always intrigued with the N scale trains because they were small, but I’ve never seen a model as small as yours that works. It’s such a beautiful work of art.
If you're using two locomotive so it go over the crossover easily, have you thought about taking off the locomotive shell and putting a box van on top of it to hide the engine? this way it look like you have one locomotive putting several wagon
Nicely original. I've been a devotee, for T-gauge, since July 2009, and this is totally unmatched. You done reet gud. I hope that such a piece of work will result in you being sucked into the tiny world!!
Wow, thank you so much for sharing. That is an absolutely amazing coffee table… I have to admit I like the opacity… If it worked absolutely crystal clear it wouldn’t look as good. It gives it a dreamy nostalgic look and feel like you’re looking back in time or having a pleasant memory… One of the newest videos I’ve ever watched on UA-cam as relaxing as it is inspiring.
Not only is that a fantastic coffee table, but the video documenting it's creation is in itself an incredibly well done piece of art. Kudos. I can only wish I was talented enough to make my own!
I did consider using acrylic and routing out a straight sided pocket to inlay it into. However I knew I could mill the epoxy down to give a seemless join with the top surface. I knew it was a risk using epoxy as you only get one shot with the pour, but thought it had the potential to give a unique look.
As a young teen, I built (in my bedroom) the HO-gauge layout featured in the Boy's Life magazine issues of late 1958 through early 1959. Ever since then, I've been somewhat fascinated by model trains. About 50 years ago, I had the idea for (but never built) a Z-gauge COFFEE TABLE layout. It was nowhere nearly as elegant as your layout here, but would essentially have been a big box frame table with a glass top, It would have had as much layout scenery as I could have fit into the boxed layout. Now that I'm approaching 80, I doubt I will ever build that layout. Thanks for sharing your minimalist all-wood layout, and your designing and woodworking skills. (In future videos, you might consider getting a better microphone so your narration is more clear - just a thought.) Thanks for sharing.
Can i just say, it is extremely refreshing in this noisy world to hear such a soft soothing voice narrating the process. Thanks for sharing your amazing craftsmanship, you deserve many more subscribers! We will follow your YT career with great interest.
Truly Congratulations on choosing the "TT" scale for use inside a coffee table. I haven't seen a display as well done in thirty or so years. The last time was a display created by the staff of a Hobby shop here in the US (as a joke for their boss, who was a big fan of "N' scale. It failed as a "joke" since it turned out he was also a big fan of the "TT" scale as well).
Great build! Amazing finished concept. I would prefer glass over epoxy especially on the top for clarity. But I do hate glass top tables so this might be the best solution
I love this, and my young self would especially do so! Once in a movie I saw a whole room full of model trains going all over it, hidden into the tables, railings, and shelves, and it blew me away so much, that i begged my parents to get me one. Unfortunately, there was no space for it, so I only really set it up a few times for christmas to go around the tree, and in my room when I was dedicated enough.
That's really beautiful! The mixing of multiple hobbies/crafts to create uniquely pleasant artifacts is something that I really like. I especially like how the USB connector is accessible in a little open-grille hatch at the bottom so that it could easily be swapped without permanent modification between a standalone battery pack (as shown) or a USB extension lead to a charger or other 5V supply somewhere, if placed near a power supply, and if the battery pack eventually fails it can be swapped out as necessary. The affordances for maintenance of the train layout are also really slick! The only thing better than a beautiful machine is a beautiful machine that feels intuitive and pleasant to maintain! Subscribed!
This is sick! You could definitely sell this to a train museum if it was your goal. Definitely a niche market for this kind of table that to would pay good money for such a cool piece.
I could watch that train for hours, I love my Lego train I have and let it run around my layout. Wish I could have it on a small scale like this though!
Now this is a Serious Level of Cool I appreciate the effort and the end results as for the legs I feel that it adds to the industrial aspect of the table!!! 🤠👍

T guage is becoming pretty popular... eventually their will prob be dcc T guage ect
You never know one might sell it for a rock of spice
@@agoogleuser8492I mean I don't blame them, the spice has to flow after or whatever
@@hamiltonsullivan6563 As old as I am, I know that in 40yrs, electricity itself might be outdated. 😏 Get extra trains so they can figure out how to make them run on grifalda spice or whatever.

Not going to lie, I’ve seen loads of stuff on UA-cam but this is one of the most awesome things I’ve ever seen.
reminds me of some of the devices made in the late 1800's very different crafts made for entertainment,
people are sick of computers. this is awsome
Legit impressed by how much work went in to such a thing as mid as this.
A whole dining table would be something to do next but yes this one of the best
It is awesome, any chance I get the layouts?
Do you usually lie?

Yeah I missed a trick there!
I thought it was sawdust, from making the table.
It's too small for a custard cream!
This is why I love the Internet
‘Crushed minerals’ eh…? Also… (and I genuinely think it’s a wonderful thing), but does it not look like a top view of a toilet to anyone else?
Had no idea there were model trains this small, this is adorable!
Z Gauge - Marklin Mini railway.
Good old Märklin Z gague
@@NikoRussel : this is T Scale, 1:450. Z Scale is 1:220.
Coffee Table Model Railroad Toilet Seat 👍
Yeah maybe I should have just gone with that!!
@Fullstackwoodworking would pay £150-200 for train toilet seat 😮❤
@FullStackWoodworkingi would like to own a working train toilet seat...
LOL, You beat me to it! Besides that similarity, awesome job!
Oh yeah with a mild taster built in the seat, unbeknown to the user. It could be set off by the person in the next stall when he flushes the toilet!
I'm gonna start this off by saying that i absolutely love this idea and your execution of it, particularly the fact that it isnt just a small circular loop of track. That being said, the shape of the valley ontop, coupled with the hinges to open the table for access, reminds me a fair bit of a toilet seat.
The hidden crossover and peekaboo lower section is genius.
This is, hands down, the most awesome train table I've ever seen made!
This is, hands down, the _only_ train table, I have ever seen. 😆
I actually have several of which I think the results are much nicer...
sadly I only have picture of the build progress in my railroad FB page
Weird. I thought it the lamest.

wow those little lamp posts really tie the whole room together man
Well, that is just adorable! great work.
That's brilliant. UA-cam is packed to the gills with people just doing the same old ideas. This on the other hand is totally delightful.
Beautiful Craftsmanship!
9:59 weirdest toilet seat I've ever seen. Just kidding, great work!
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say that 😂😂
Damnit, 7 hrs too late.

@@WhatsMikeUpTo You did a great job on the track no matter what shape it was Mike lol, sorry.
I didn't realize there was anything smaller than N Guage. That's crazy tiny! Love the coffee table!
Actually, this is T gauge (1:450-500 scale) and _two_ steps below N gauge (1:160 scale), because there is Z gauge (1:220 scale) between them.
That epoxy top upside-down pour idea was spectacular what an incredible appearance in the end! That 2 train solution was genius
This is truly amazing! As a model train buff it's one of the best ideas I've ever seen!
wow I didn't realize they had model trains that tiny. That's like the micro-machines of trains.
fuck i remember micro machines
It's n Gauge very small and cheap
@ n-gage…….
@@T-gearit literally says t-gauge in the description of the video
@@T-geara quarter of the size of N-scale. It's T-scale.

Wow wow wow true workmanship and skill, incredible build
Congratulations on doing something that's never been done before. Not many can say that. Fantastic.

A lot of modelers do this. You can buy motorized bodies in different lengths and buy or diy your own shell for passenger or freight.
Nicely original. I've been a devotee, for T-gauge, since July 2009, and this is totally unmatched. You done reet gud. I hope that such a piece of work will result in you being sucked into the tiny world!!
Wow, so satisfying!
All I can say about this is BRAVO,BRAVO
Unbelievably creative. Amazing attention to detail. Excellent.
Its so relaixing to see the mini train going through the panoramic window on the side of the coffee table :)
Wow, thank you so much for sharing. That is an absolutely amazing coffee table… I have to admit I like the opacity… If it worked absolutely crystal clear it wouldn’t look as good. It gives it a dreamy nostalgic look and feel like you’re looking back in time or having a pleasant memory… One of the newest videos I’ve ever watched on UA-cam as relaxing as it is inspiring.
in times of river tables and epoxy abominations it is very cool to actually see something unique
My grandson would LOVE that. Awesome job.
This is truly wonderful. You are an inspiration. No hyperbole
AMAZING JOB!!
What an Artist! So impressive.
Wonderfull really enjoyed the video
Not only is that a fantastic coffee table, but the video documenting it's creation is in itself an incredibly well done piece of art. Kudos. I can only wish I was talented enough to make my own!
I really love the concept, the toilet-seaty aspect takes a little from the end product but still excellent!
Neat idea…
Why wouldn’t you have used glass for the transparent surfaces?
Industry yard wood carving surrounding..
I am so impressed with your ingenuity, and skill in breathing life into this table. It is a one-of-a-kind! Brilliant! Cheers to you!
Thats incredible. The little street lights in the valley make it look like a mining operation. Insanely cool, thanks for sharing this!
What was the thinking behind pouring epoxy rather than using a strip of clear acrylic or glass?
I did consider using acrylic and routing out a straight sided pocket to inlay it into. However I knew I could mill the epoxy down to give a seemless join with the top surface. I knew it was a risk using epoxy as you only get one shot with the pour, but thought it had the potential to give a unique look.
