This is inspiring. I’ve been debating how to make my 4x6 Lionel layout most effective.... this have me some ideals
Thanks glad we could help
As someone who decided to build a 40 foot loft layout as my first ever layout, the idea of "small but finishable" is ever more appealing!
Our 9ft X 9ft loft layout has taken 8 years and is barely started
Wow,yet again,another classic little layout....The stream really looks great as it all does......Was scrolling through comments and came upon the words..Semi Retired,.....Well,1 yr,7 months,28 days from today,And Semi will not enter into the equation for me..(God Willing) Lol..Great video Mike....How is Doug >??
Thanks, hope you are both well. I am fully retired in theory but my Army Cadet Role is taking up loads of time now. Doug doing well thanks
@@BudgetModelRailways all ok here Mike thanks...good to hear,and that Doug is ok too...so hot today,just home from delivery....hope to run a train outside this avvo...
An ideal day for it, very envious, enjoy
We've been on this train for hours and I can still see our house!
I absolutely love these little layouts - you make it all look so easy but I presume it took a week or so of work to create!
Thanks. It is actually pretty easy, but yes it will take a couple of weeks of evenings to make
Loved this . I wanted a continuous run as a change from my shunting shelf layouts. I bought a second hand Kato M1 track pack, just an oval and power to put together on the kitchen table to watch trains go round. I already had an Atlas diesel and a few coal wagons which run really well. The Kato track impresses , just clicks together and pull apart and the ballasted base is ideal for occasional use.Kato is quality. This set takes 5 minutes from box to go and my grandson loves it and I think he is learning a lot as we assemble the layout and box it up at the end. Please keep the films coming, I look forward to them.
Sounds great, have fun with your grandson
I think Ted and I are the same age! Grandpa has gone back to his first Hornby Dublo set, laid on the carpet, no scenery just a station, watching The Duchess of Hamilton on an express run, brilliant. All the best.
You should never grow up lol
Now, that is really cool !!!!
Thanks for sharing. I have this little train. I have converted it to Microtrains couplers. Was really a task to accomplish. Kato track worked well, however the Peco track was a bit tougher. Bruce in Minnesota USA
Great. To be honest as they can't really be used for shunting etc the couplers are ok. I love the Kato track and am struggling with Peco on another project. Take care in Minnesota
More N scale / gauge, please! :-)
Love to see more of this Mike, I’m currently doing a similar one but with a siding
I'm about to do more work on it as I'm exhibiting it in May
Well done guys, another very nice looking layout. You could almost swap out the buildings for some small 00 ones and then you've got a ready done 009 narrow gauge layout as well. Those rock faces do make it look like I could be somewhere in Wales. Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks, yes it would look good in 009,
Very nice! I agree the scatter with adhesive clumps works very well for N-scale. Are the structures glued down? I am interested to see how you apply the straight bridge sides to the curved area. Cheers and stay safe.
Thanks, yes I glue the buildings down and blend them in. Bridges are easily curved to fit
Another great little layout Mike I have wanted to do something like this for a while.- Nicholas.
Thanks, my best advice would be to just go for it
Another outstanding project! You've got all the features (road, stream, hills and rock cuts, multiple levels) in a compact space. Very well done!
That's very kind thanks. The finished item will have 6 buildings, Inc a station, a level crossing and two bridges so as you say a lot in a very small space
Love this little layout. I've subscribed!
Thanks that's great
Good touch with the
Angular Oval set 👍
the Viaduct *under* the track level is exquisite 👌
Thanks I was quite pleased with that
Fantastic little layout. How are you powering it. Kato have a specific piece of track for power feeds dont they? Have you used that or just soldered to the outsides of the rails? Could quite work out from your building photos
Correct it's the Kato powertrack . I cut the connector off and wire it in using a connector block
@@BudgetModelRailways thanks
I love how you find all these little online bargains like the bushes! And as for that church, just goes to show you should never chuck anything away! 😜 Re the other N gauge layout- do you mean the mountain one with the two ovals? Shame if so but if this is the benefactor it was well worth it 😎
Great stuff as ever. Don’t know how you manage to do so many different things 😅
Cheers mate 👍🍻🍀
Thanks Tim, yes it's that layout that's gone but I have another planned. I am semi retired which helps with the projects lol
What a brilliant video,it's amazing what can be done with stuff is used,me and my dad are doing a n gauge layout at the moment, Great Western era.
Sounds great have fun with it.
Very nice. Neat little scene.
Thanks
Very good: I especially am enthusiastic aboit multi level scenes.
Thanks, it's the first time I've tried it with scenery rather than urban
Fantastic very inspiring, do like what you are doing with N gauge 😁👍
Love the idea of a layout for your desk!
Out of interest have you considered doing a 009 layout? (Or a few of them hopefully!)
And what about a layout made from ONLY BMR products? - apart from track of course
Would love to see those 👍🚂
We have a big range of 009 , but so far it hasn't really caught my enthusiasm for a layout
Another great little layout. Loved the construction stills. As always it looks so simple IF you know what you’re doing in the first place.
It's pretty straight forward with a bit of practice
Very impressive.
Thanks
That’s a nice little layout you’ve got there
Thanks
Lovely little layout, Mike. Well done!
In keeping with your budget mindedness if you need more Kato track or other items and don’t mind waiting a bit longer (2 to 3 weeks) there’s a great company in Japan called Plaza Japan. Even with postage they’re generally quite a bit cheaper than UK stockists. Particular check their sale items.
We used to use plaza but we kept getting caught by import duty and royal mail charges. I use Train Trax as they are in the UK
@@BudgetModelRailways fair enough. Our son is obsessed with Tomica cars and they’re by far the easiest and cheapest way to get them! There is a way round the import duty/Royal Mail issue for larger orders - use DHL for postage. It’s amazingly quick and not as expensive as you might expect! Last year I had an order from them and one from a certain Sheffield retailer. Both dispatched the same day, but the Plaza Japan parcel arrived a day earlier!!!
Looking good. I think this will turn into a nice little layout. Youll have to exhibit it at some point! hope you all well. By the way, have you got my letter that i posted to you about month ago. Many thanks and all the best jack!
I'm hoping to exhibit once shows are up and running . Got the letter thanks but railways are on the back burner at the moment due to other real life commitments
@@BudgetModelRailways no worries mike. hope everythings ok!
Great stuff cool little layout
Thanks
Wow, looking at your layouts remind me of watching a Shakespearean play:A lot happens in a small area. Thx. 😀
Thanks love the analogy
Can you remember the name of that packaging foam. I’ve been trying to find it online but not successfully. I expect it’s rather dear to buy, so persevering with expanded polystyrene at the moment covered in filler although I have used grout recently and finding that give a good result also.
Sorry, no idea it comes with our 3d printers
@@BudgetModelRailways no worries 👍
Fantastic! Great looking little layout, Mike!
Thanks
Looks really good
Been thinking, when will you guy do another livestream?
Great little layout well done.
Thanks
How to do something nice with just an oval of rails : see the video, speaks of it more than what I can do.
Agreed with you about the Kato track. I have narrow on a close equivalent in OO/HO, the Piko track with ballast, due to its facility of use with integrated ballast. In N, I also use Tomix track, which have a slimmer ballast (close to the Fleischmann Piccolo N track in thickness) due to its broader choice of pointwork, besiddes the ballast thickness. You have to import it from Japan, but I overall prefer it to Kato one. Anyway, Kato track is nice too.
Excellent job - though I don't see much "work" getting done with that on your desk! ;-) I have a similar project in mind using similar raised/ballasted Fleishmann track, though I'm thinking of making it OO9. Cheers
Lol it has another home when I need my desk
Do you still have the large N Guage layout with the curved viaduct?
Also maybe add a varnish to the stream so it looks shinier
No that layout has gone, although I will build another larger N gauge layout at some time. I had thought about varnish but will try another coat of PVA first
@@BudgetModelRailways how come that layout has gone, it was going to be amazing?!
I ran out of ideas and room. I will have another attempt at some point
looking good
Did you mention how you fixed the track. I didn’t catch it. Double sided tape?
Super glue
@@BudgetModelRailways thanks 😁
You mentioned it's Kato 6" track. Is that the V6 inner or outer oval?
Neither its a circle of 20-174
@@BudgetModelRailways Thanks!!
It could be it's the same as a V pack it's just that I bought it as a circle
can you create a stroudley style coach for way less than the overpriced hornby coaches. many people like them and if you can create a coach of that style and length (not exact) it would be very popular if you had the time to try it in oo gauge
It's the bogies are the problem
Hi Philip here me and my girlfriend are doing my layout similar to your one is that ok.and do you blame me for making my own bridge and tunnels as modelling is getting a bit expensive with items let me know
@@PhilipGreenhill-vh3sr Just happy you are enjoying your modelling
@@BudgetModelRailways hi yes me and her are happy with my modelling as I've got n scale and 00 scale and TT scale.why have items gone up in price so much
Missing your regular updates.
Yeah sorry, real life getting in the way a bit at the moment
@@BudgetModelRailways I hope all is OK. "life getting in the way" is sometimes a good thing as well as bad.
