Anyone who says a 4x8 is too small for HO hasn't seen this one! Great layout!

Congratulations. This is a great layout. You've managed to squeeze a lot of track into what can be a small space for HO. A lot of fun playability. Love all the mountains.

Awesome layout you have there! The rock work looks really cool, it's amazing how much scenery you can pack into an 8' x 4' area.

Very impressive. Love the stone work and elevation changes. Thanks for sharing

You've packed an amazing amount of interest into that layout. Love the little cabins etc.

Looks great, excellent rock formation work.

Very well done. I've spent time in NSW, you brought up a couple of memories.

Outstanding layout mate! Tons of details!

This is a very clever use of a 4x8 area. It's deceptively simple, packing so much into a small space without being too complex. A nice, interesting long continuous run too. And only 4 points/turnouts! Great scenery too. That, combined with the nice long circuit-run gives the feel that the trains are actually going places. And that can be hard to do on a small layout. Congrats! -Martin

Love the mountain, awesome layout

Wow, this is just fantastic. Rock work is outstanding - all other scenery is awsome. Just love it. Great Job.

Very nice layout. Great job.

Very impressive. Thank you for sharing. Charles and Dad.

Thats absolutely fantastic mate so much work you've done a brilliant job thank you for sharing

this is the best 4x8 I've ever seen great job

Just beautiful!

Well done, very nice. Thanks for sharing.

my idea of a great interesting out of the normal flat board train set.You have put some amount of thought and love into this-i can tell!

Beautiful work👌

Mate absolutely marvellous.

Really enjoyed that mate, fantastically designed layout and well-presented video.

very nice layout....I just travel to Blue Mountain last month from Hong Kong.and also I like model train very much........

First class, a great bit of modelling on a sensible size layout. well done, good video presentation too.

This is amazing you did a crazy good job

It looks great, well done.

Great ideas. Super made. Joe

Awesome work mate thanks for sharing Cheers from N.J. USA

Fantastic mate.

Wow... I always thought that little layouts would not be that good but...this one...it's amazing. Good job 😀😀😀😀🚂🚂🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

its probably the best 8x4 layout i have seen

Really nice layout mate.great work too,love the rock work and railcar especially.

Hi Thanks for the comment - this was my favorite layout of all the ones that I have done.

Wow! It's like if M.C. Escher build a railroad! Great scenery too!

Hi Peter Yes, the Blue Mountains are beautiful, thx for the message.

............... I believe you've done a remarkable job.... I like the Mountain gaps.... I like the multi-levels very much.... the sunlight doesn't bother me..... I think it adds a little something good to it ...what I would like to mention though is your transitions.... I think that you could do a whole lot more if you start thinking about the distance between your grass or gravel and the transitions between the two.... you know.... little areas...between the green and brown....with different tones of colors transitioning between the two...places with a little dirt color... a little bit of grass ....and then a little more .... gradually....until you have a full amount of grass... you did a beautiful job with the trees ...and I honestly believe this is one of the better setups I've seen on KZfaq........... and I thank you are probably at a point where you put so much work into it you can't think of what else there should be to do but I'm telling you weathering is next transitions you don't want any straight lines you want things to flow outside of that you've done remarkable work .......really have .....my hat's off to you...

Nice! Thanks for sharing.....

Great job if mine is half this good I’ll be extremely happy cheers mate

Beautiful layout I have a 8 feet by 4 feet layout

Extreme grades or what ?...very impressive.........still dunno what the % I can get away with on a 7 car train......may have to get that German Bigboy with 4 drive axles..... Keep up the good work..-CS

This is just simply amazing. What are the odds of replicating this in N scale on a 2' x 4' board?

Your layouts are really great!!!!!!! Did you have any trouble with the Peco curved points?

Very nice! Do you run 2 or more trains at the same time? That would be intresting!!

Wonderful layout... The rock sculpting is incredible. May I ask, what's the radius on the curves? They look pretty tight.

Thanks, I am about to post another video of another layout I have almost finished.

Great layout, i love the rock work any idea on how he did it?

I subscribed.Joe's train world videos 😀😀😀🙂🙂🙂

i am impressed with this layout and interested to k now more on detail of you layout plan. I am a beginner for this hobby.... still not very clear on how to start... ranjit

You've really got me interested in that small Fleischmann engine. I was wondering what would be it's smallest radius, would it do smaller than 18" radius? Have you thought about doing a series of videos for a layout from start to finish? I glued down the cork road bed on 1"high density foam supported by 1x2" pine frame yesterday. This is my first 8x4 layout. All My track is Peco/ Atlas flexible track with all Peco points from other layouts. Hence the reason for gluing it down. I have been building layouts for over 40yrs! I have never finished one and I have disapointed my son for about that long! I don't want to do that to my 8yr old grandson!!!!!!!!! !

You could do it in N scale but I would recommend slightly bigger than 4 x 2' so the curves do not have to be so tight.

M8 this is a wonderful layout, im gonna build one myself. :) I was wondering do u have the trackplan or did umake all yourself? PS. The sun makes me happy and looks great on your landscape :) Regards

Awesome layout. Any chance of posting a mud map or similar of the layout.

I'm a beginner to model railroads, is it possible to share the basic design without all the scenery? I know you mentioned its a figure 8 but seem much longer? Its really a very clever and beautifully done layout.

That's a pity you have never finished a layout! I have done many at different places I have lived at. I am just about to finish another one which I hope to post in the next month or so. My enjoyment is constructing them, after that I get bored and have to do another one.

if you change the title from 8x4 to 4x8 I'll bet the # of views will jump, as people tend to search by 4x8, 3x5 etc. Great layout design!

No problems with the Peco points.

love how you've got two levels! do you have any trouble with trains going up the slope?

Great looking layout mate and im looking forward to Future updates on wot layout you do next

Your layouts are very impressive. Can you please tell me , what is your maximum rise and minimum radius?

Sir can you please share the track plan for this 4 X 8 layout

👍👍👍❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂

Well done - a wonderful and very scenic layout. Can I be rude - is it possible to get a copy of you layout plan.

Would love to see the track plan for this .. great job

I have used the second smallest Hornby fixed curve for the smallest curves and the rise is 4 in 1 - this sort of layout is not suitable for very large engines and carriages.Cheers Tim

could please show a track plan

What is incline grade

Actual running water would add much .

This is fantastic! Do you have a track plan for it if I wanted to blatantly copy it :-) Please

I like what you've done but cannot work out the track layout.

most HO scale trains are not making those inclines

And Der ate gaeos ova da getah briiiidgeee 🦧
