    I like the HO/OO scale layout that you made. It looks spectacular. From the Thomas & Friends Bachmann HO line, I currently have Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, Duck, Diesel, Salty, Emily, Annie, Clarabel, Henrietta, Emily's Coaches, Red Coaches (coaches similar to Annie & Clarabel), Gordon's Express Coaches, Troublesome Trucks (1, 2, 3 & 4), S.C. Ruffey, Blue Open Wagon, Red Open Wagon, Cargo Car (aka Brown Open Wagon), Coal Wagon with Load (aka Green Open Wagon with Coal Load), 6 Ton Wagon, Sodor Fuel Tank, Oil Tank (original version with the word "OIL" on the sides of the Oil Tank), Tidmouth Milk Tank, Raspberry Syrup Tanker, two Salt Wagons (one I got individually, and one I got in the Salty's Dockside Delivery set), Cattle Wagon, Ventilated Van, Ice Cream Wagon, Red Mail Car (CGI version with winged envelopes on the sides of the Red Mail Car), Grey Brake Van, Bertie, Terence, Harold, Cranky, Sir Topham Hatt, Two Conductors (one normal Conductor I got individually, and one custom Conductor with orange hair and mustache I got in the Salty's Dockside Delivery set), Farmer McColl, and Sodor Junction Station (includes repainted Bachmann HO Plasticville Freight Station & Platform Station Buildings). From the Thomas & Friends Hornby OO line, I currently have Sodor Scrap Co. Wagon, Brown Open Wagon (Season 1 Style Troublesome Truck) and Brown Brake Van.

    Build the valley route, it'd be very cool, and I've love to see more of the non-Thomas trains too.

    A freight depot would fit perfectly over where cranky is. you can just move him back to that little corner in the layout. I need to get my train room cleaned up and organized so that I can resume work on my own layout.

    After watching this, I looked on the wikia to see the Bachman scenery or other porducts that you can add to your layout. Here are my suggestions. Keep in mind that you don't have to agree with me and that I'm just trying to help.
    Sodor Lighthouse: Maybe, if you put Cranky near that siding back in the corner, you can place it on the curve near Cranky.
    Maithwaite Station: It would probably by best on that straight where Cranky is.
    Round Water Tower: You could put it next to Maithwaite Station. In my opinion, every railway with steamies needs water towers.
    Black Loch Folly: You can stick it with the trees that you added to the other curve.
    Engine Shed: The siding where Cranky is currently would be a perfect place for a shed. You could put over on the other siding back there on the left.
    Signal Box: You can just put it near any sort of switch on the layout.
    Square Water Tower: That hasn't come out yet, but when it does, I suggest to put it near Tidmouth Sheds. Usually those towers are used for washdowns, so it makes sense to put it near the sheds.
    Jeremy the Jet Plane: I don't know what you'd do with him, but I know you don't have him.
    I hope you like my ideas and I hope that they are helpful and beneficial.

    If you could get another table and more Bachmann Narrow Gauge stuff, you could make connections between the two tables, possibly by bridges, those buffers at the end of the table you can get to the other side of the layout from look like they could be the start of the bridges, and then on the other side you have an area where Standard Gauge HO scale track and Narrow Gauge N scale track are side by side, and then you'd have a transfer yard, even more, if you have it so the standard gauge area takes up only a small portion of this second table, you could have all this space for the narrow gauge engines once destinations like the narrow gauge shed come out

  • @tomatomain2439
    @tomatomain2439 8 років тому +5

    Here are just a few ideas, if you have room on the side try to put the narrow gauge track somewhere closer, trees and grass too on there. Also get a nice road somewhere for berty and the other cars. And maybe a few other minor details.

    • @tomatomain2439
      @tomatomain2439 8 років тому

      Also as I said many time you should try to get a Bachmann reneus for narrow gauge. And my idea above.

  • @howdoiputthecheeseintheove8437
    @howdoiputthecheeseintheove8437 8 років тому

    You should add a signal box, either the normal or the Thomas one.weather down and paint some rust onto onto a model and place it somewhere in the grass so it looks like scrap, add like some small quarry scene next to cranky and add some more trees and bushes. Thanks

    Hey Train Tsar Fun, I like the idea of the tunnel and when some engine derails in the tunnel I think I got the solution. Get a another engine and pull the engine out so you can rerail the engine.

  • @MrBnsftrain
    @MrBnsftrain 8 років тому

    2:25 you should put a Tidmouth sheds extension on the track between the current shed wall and Thomas' track.
    You should also add some crates and semi trucks next to cranky, and a village around Knaford Station.
    6:14 I just have a basic 1 control layout. i don't know many systems like you have that aren't DCC.
    7:48 that some old box!
    I've seen some photos of old British trains that have a brake coach right behind the locomotive, and one at the rear.
    9:48 do you use 22 inch radius curves or 18 inch radius curves? I use 18 inch radius curves because that's what came in my first HO scale set.

  • @cyberverseprime7393
    @cyberverseprime7393 7 років тому

    I really think you should do the layout expansion. It would look incredible and honestly you could use two main line railroad tracks. I just installed my second loop of track about a week ago and it really helps out. Oh just a suggestion do ever plan to install the narrow gauge thomas stuff into your layout???

    connect Berkshire and your current layout, and an narrow gauge section.

      +Eduardo Zimath it would be huge, but effective

  • @JoshuaHunter

  • @PapaZooch709
    @PapaZooch709 8 років тому

    I think that would be an AWSOME idea to connect the to layouts maby your next layout could be a snow theme like on the episodes where Thomas gets stuck in the snow drift an Tearance The Tractor had to help pull him out maby a snow theme for your next layout I think that would be cool.

  • @gwinn1169
    @gwinn1169 8 років тому

    the new brake coach with the white wall wheels is an old 80's coach, where as the other two are the newer version with metal wheels (other has plastic wheels) the wheels are interchangeable. Cranky would look better moved.

    I think you should double the size of your table for the layout because you are clearly running out of space.
    And yes I know how hard that is to do

  • @mattsmocs3281
    @mattsmocs3281 8 років тому

    Put cranky in the corner. Also stop challenge them "steamies" steam is invisible. What you see is the junk from the fire box, smoke, and water vapor. There engines (ref RR terms and Original pre Hit Thomas) also for the cars put the brake coaches on opposite sides and have the backs to the ends and have the coach in the center. Also I have a brake version of the red ones seen in the early days of the show.

    I noticed that you mentioned that Hornby models tend yo derail on your layout. I think the problem are the wheels on the Hornby rolling stock, cause I had that problem to. If you buy some Bachmann wheels and swap them, then your coaches and other rolling stock should be a bit less prone to derailing.

    • @TrainTsarFun

    • @TrainTsarFun
      @TrainTsarFun  7 років тому +1

      Thank you for the warning but honestly it is of little concern. There are a lot of items in my house that could be deadly if I ate them. The reason lead is dangerous is when it is used in items that a toddler might gnaw on like a lead painted toy. But I think we are safe as long as we don't chew on the tracks and road bed. Funny thing is if you look it up on forums it's a lot of similar comments. So I do appreciate the head ups though! Bachmann trains are rated for older kids and adults - maybe that is one reason - other than a toddler would break it - lol!

    you could maybe make an area of track a coaling dock for the locomotives to go under to get coal if they need.maybe add some building over by the shed like there was in the older thomas episodes and as for coaches.i had some hornby coaches that would derail as well when i was young so i went to my local hobby shop and he said to fix it was ether to sand the wheels down or buy a new set of wheels that are mint for usa brand model trains and i bought a new set of wheels on ym coaches and they started working fine.now idk about thomas because this was back before thomas had HO scale in the usa when i was young so it might not work but give a try and see what happens

      I just want you to watch. That's what is important. I tend to find out later that ones that say they like and subbed actually didn't. I've had videos that had this comment more than the actual likes. And when I look at their sub list I'm not on it. Oh - it's spam
