    Steve, love your stuff. Thanks for sharing, I know it takes a lot of time and energy. Compared to many model railroaders, you seem very disciplined in keeping the layout footprint small. For most of us, that would require super human willpower! How do you do it?!!

    • @StevesTrains
      @StevesTrains  4 роки тому +2

      Mostly because I don't currently have a lot of space for a larger layout, and I just like trying out different ideas in quick succession which is a lot easier to do with small layouts. One problem I've had with larger ones (I had a 4.5x8 foot layout prior to my 5x10 HO one I took down a couple of years ago) is that I'm often wanting to do something completely different before I even finish the layout.

    Thank you for this Steve, Im currently a guy with little space but in a couple years once I am able to purge some stuff from my garage I may end up with more space. I;ve always wanted to have some trains but sadly everythng I've ever wanted to do took either more time, more money, or more space than I had so for now I've vicariously through youtube modelers and toying around in the free trial of Scam.
    My problem is They don't make the Locos I would want to run in any scale lower than HO so I need HO level space minimum, and the locos I want to run are expensive so I need Expensive HO loco money, and then there's the fact I am the father of a 2 year old which eats up my time.

I have 8 locos in mind, specifically the 4 preserved royal Hudsons, Empress, the two preserved Selkirks, and CN6060 but I have only found Rapido Icons of Canadian Steam that currently makes Royal Hudsons in HO (for $600 with dcc sound) and has plans to produce the rest of what I desire in future.

    Do you have a video on how you do the powered rotation of the layout? Many years ago MR had an April’s Fool layout that had the same idea with the rotation equally reversed to the train speed so that you viewed the train all the time while the scenery flew by.

    • @StevesTrains
      @StevesTrains  2 роки тому

      It is actually just a motorized turntable I picked up a couple of years ago off of Amazon. It just has two speeds but if you get the train speed just right you can match the train speed to the turntable rotation speed.

    • @StevesTrains
      @StevesTrains  3 роки тому

      Kato track is more robust but e-z track will work fine and if you have it then use it. There is also a much much larger selection of track pieces available with the Kato track which is nice. I use various hobby retailers such as fiferhobby.com, modeltrainstuff.com, Amazon often has a lot, basically just depends what I’m looking for and what prices are. Even my local hobby town store has a lot of Kato unitrack and that is a national chain.

      Right, it is actually a 23” and change pine tabletop from Home Depot. I uses mix of 9 3/4” and 8.5” radius curves. Usually it is something two of the 9 3/4” curves and 6 of the 8.5” ones to leave a little more room for scenery. Or I will do all 8.5” and have a couple shorter sections of straight track.

      @StevesTrains  Рік тому

      Most of these are N scale on Kato Unitrack. In terms of brands for the locomotives and such, there are a lot. Kato, Atlas, Athearn, Micro Trains, and others are all fine. Really, most will do fine for you. Bachmann products are cheaper and their locomotives are mixed. They are fine for starting out but I’ve had more long-term durability issues with some of them. Obviously completely depends how much you run stuff. Also, there are different grades of stuff from most manufactures. Kato had three levels of pricing and features but the same motors in all kinds. Even Bachmann has cheaper and more expensive versions of their products. In terms of getting a train set to start, I like the Kato sets the best but there isn’t a huge selection of options in terms of starter sets. But they do make track and power supply sets, and then you can just buy a locomotive and freight cars or whatever separately that fit your taste/price range.

It is derived from the more formal name Stephen from the Greek Stéphanos, which means "wreath," "crown," "victorious," or "honor." In Ancient Greece, wreaths were given to victors to reward them for their success in competitions."

    Super Impressive Steve! I work for the A&M. That layout reminds me of Rogers, AR. The layouts are beautiful and unique! Great work!

    Hey everybody.
    I’m a European and I love American trains. So I’m planing to build my first layout. Can anybody recommend some journals, UA-cam series or something else to get some good layout ideas and recommendations?

      I do, but have at least a five year wait list at this point if not more. But sometimes I just sell layouts I build that aren’t built for someone else. You can drop me a message from the website at steves-trains.com and I can add you to the list, even if just to email you when a project is available for purchase.

    I love seeing your videos you really do some amazingly great layouts have you ever thought about doing a small scale on30 logging layout? I bet you really could do a cool one of those. Cheers, Ken

      At one time I planned on doing a small On30 mining layout, then decided not to. An On30 mining or logging layout would be a lot of fun.

    I will never run a model railroad with a Caboose on my train. My grandfather worked on the railroad. My father worked on the railroad and I worked on the railroad. To me running a model train without a Caboose is blasphemy.

    What about a track set inside a suit case you can pack up and go with, but also have a couple places to switch off too?

      @StevesTrains  2 роки тому +1

      My current project is inside a carry case. I have a video from a month or two ago showing how I built the case. Sometime later this year I’ll have a video on adding the scenery to the layout.
