Thank-you. Sometimes when I look back over what I had to work with, the final result is amazing to me also. I think this one fits into that category, as did yours.

I like both the double-sided backdrop plan and the final plan. You have crammed a lot of model railroad in a small space, without making it looked crammed. Nice work!

Thank-you. I'm so glad someone noticed. That is the key to everything - cramming a lot in without making it looked crammed.

Fascinating to see how successfully you work with your clients to tease out of them what really works for them, the options and design journey steps. I wonder how many end up saying at the end I didn't know that this was what I really wanted! Will it be the client doing the build or a pro team? Another great layout again. Stephen

Figuring out what the customer wants is the first big challenge (sometimes they don't even know). The process starts with a lengthy questionnaire (46 questions, most of which require some thought). Even then, the customer's desires often evolve with the plan - meaning that I frequently have to chase a moving target. No, I'm not complaining. That's just part of the job. If someone already knows exactly what they want beforehand, they probably don't need my design services in the first place.

I liked the split by backdrop scenario to give a rural scene for the truss bridge but if the client wants total oversight, then there's no telling them otherwise. Think of the N gauge you'd get in that space!

@FredE5284 жыл бұрын
These videos are so interesting. It makes me want to redo my little 4x16 HO garage layout into two levels. But not sure it’s possible to get enough separation without a helix. I don’t like them. Anyway, I do so enjoy watching your work. Be safe out there.😷

It’s great that you include the different iterations of the layout and your thought process, very educational. I believe you are using 3rd planit software and I am curious to know if it can be used on a Mac computer and if you or any one of your viewers have had success with it on that platform. Thank you.

I've not tried it on a Mac so I can't help you. You could always download the free demo version from the website and try it for yourself.

You’re a miracle worker. What are your thoughts about ceiling layouts- to follow walls throughout a home; in O-gauge?
@mpeterll4 жыл бұрын
My thoughts about ceiling layouts: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (meaning that I've never given them much thought) Seriously though, a loop of track just below the ceiling is basically just for displaying a train on. This is not really a suitable location for an operational model railroad. If that's what you want, then go right ahead - it's just something that's never appealed to me since I like to get up close for hands-on operation. Of course, once you try to run around more than one room, you have to consider the possibility of running into framing every time you pass through a wall. This shouldn't be too much of a problem provided you know enough about construction to know which walls are load-bearing and which are not. Without this building knowledge, the safest approach would be to use a stud-finder everywhere you want to pass through and just assume that every piece of lumber you find needs to stay exactly where it is.

Yes I agree with you, but it wasn't what the customer wanted. This layout never got built anyway as he decided to move all his shop tools into this building and have me design another layout for his other shed instead.

Actually I'd say that in most cases the client already has confidence in my abilities from watching other layout design videos. My you-tube presentations are my only advertising and every inquiry I get is a result of someone seeing something that impressed them on an earlier video.

In a space that small, he would of been better off doing N scale then HO.
@crazyfvck4 жыл бұрын
@John Hand True. But then he would've had to sell all of his cars, locomotives, and all of the buildings and bridges that he had already built. Also, if he's like me, he might not like N scale.
@mpeterll4 жыл бұрын
In most cases, the client is already firmly devoted to one scale long before they contact me for a layout design. Seldom does the question of scale come into a design, although I did recently have a query from an N-scaler who wondered if NO-scale would work in his space and be more reliable.
