Building a Realistic Imaginary Mountain Model Railroad

#toy #train #Wildwest #diorama
I spent the last two weeks scratch building my largest diorama project yet! This HO scale mountain toy train layout is twice as big as my desert canyon railroad layout and cost around $1200 to make. I may make some additions to the layout like monsters or structures, but for now, I’m pretty happy with the beauty of the Rocky Mountain landscape.
Speaking of landscapes, check out my new WIW merch designed by my friend, @9-Times! crowdmade.com/collections/boy...
All my craft foliage and scale plants are from Woodland Scenics and Diorama Presepe
I learned about plaster cloth watching @RealTerrainHobbies

I’m a school teacher in Glenwood; I love sharing your videos with my students. We often have diorama projects to go with essays or research projects and I use your videos as inspiration with the kids on process and details. Would love to have you do a workshop with my students some day if you ever have the urge to visit the West Slope.

@MechanicalFiend 10 ай бұрын

Ahhh... I used to live in Colorado, so every time you do one of these builds, I always miss it. This turned out absolutely fantastic, all the fall foliage with the snow and the color of the water are just so visually pleasing together. And the lighting really complimented it as well, beautiful as always!

@AndrewKuntzman 10 ай бұрын

The mountian reminds me of lookout mountain in colorado, and that seemed to be a good idea since you have a weapon off train. So your lookouts can tell the train where the enemy is coming and they can destroy everyone on their train track below the “lookout”

@OllieOxyn 10 ай бұрын

perhaps I;m thinking of a different lookout mountain in colorado but the one i know is where Buffalo bill is supposedly buried... much flatter and not high enough for summer/fall snow

I absolutkey love seeing more of the mountain builds. It reminds me of the front range of colorado and it kind of has a homey feel to it. Your tressel at the end also reminds of the george town railway loop. Due to how it is a downward sloping gradient and it turns which georgetown was the first in the world to build. Amazing job as always.

Kudos to you for attempting the triple, double-loop underpass. But, I’m glad you double, triple-checked so you didn’t end up with another tripped-up, double take. Instead, the nestled river overpass trestle allowed for double, even triple the enjoyment with every single glorious double pass.

Watching this in my train room surrounded by my layout that I am building. Ballasting tip: One of the best things you can use for ballasting is a 1" foam brush. It is the perfect size for removing ballast from the rails and ties, and the beveled edge is perfect for the ballast slope.
