Hello Model Railroaders! In this video I'll be discussing how I'm rebuilding my Mascoutin Valley Railroad in HO Scale. I'll walk through the concept of the railroad and the parts that I'll be modeling plus talk about how I'm developing a couple of key scenes on the model railroad.

I like the small scene to begin with as you described @ 11:25 with the tree's flanking the view into the railroad. It helps to set the layout story in motion. Bravo. Cheers ~ Boomer.

The small width forces you to think about the scene. I like it. Just me, but the passenger equipment looks out of place on the storage track. I figure you were using them as a "filler" to make reference to the capacity. Keep us up to speed on the progress. Remember it is summer and you have a family. 👍

@AndyDorsch 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah they (the passenger cars) are there to see "capacity" of big cars!

Thanks for the layout update and showing us the plans you have for your railroad. A storage track is a great "industry" to model as any car types can be set out or picked up from it. I agree, a low backdrop to separate the tracks will help viewers only focus on the storage track and not the main line runnign behind it. You can also add a tree line in front of the backdrop to help it blend in. I am looking forward to your next update.-Tom

Thanks Tom! Alot of my planning and redo of this layout has been inspired by your model railroad and our discussions! I'm very excited about this layout and I love how it's coming together!

Great video Andy. As others have said, looking forward to new postings! Question about the backdrop past the Athelstane structure. Have you considered a small radius curved backdrop from the long wall to the short wall at the end of the trackage? Maybe you'll cover that vertical corner with a tall tree ala Boomer Diorama.

Looking forward to the progress on this layout. Q: Why is everything in Wisconsin so difficult to pronounce? Athelstane Veener? At least it’s not in Oconomowoc.

@AndyDorsch 2 жыл бұрын

Well I could say it's because of the French and Native American influence but I'm guessing the real reason is there must have been some arcane rule on the books that before you name a location you had to drink a bottle of whiskey and blurt out the first thing that came to mind...to me that's the only logical conclusion. 😆

I can't find much information on this railroad. All I have found so far is bike and walking trails. No history. Ps. Nevermind I just heard you say in this video that it was basically a railroad of lies lol.
