In this video I go over the ideas and processes used to build the original Mega-Mini Spruce Coal & Timber layout.
At a footprint of 24" x 42", this layout packs a lot of O Scale railroading in approximately 7 Square feet.
This is not a "How-To" video itself, but links are provided to our other videos below. These links take you to our other videos where you can take and in-depth look at almost all the techniques and methods used to build this Mega-Mini Layout.

This layout looks great! I love full scale and model railroad narrow gauge layouts.

0:43 more layouts need stuff like this. It's cool to see models running with hoppers full of plastic molded loads, but to see a train loading would be amazing. And if you have made the layout right you could just run the load around back up to the loading area and refill the system to be able to load again at the bottom.

Very nice Joey! I discovered this layout in my early days back in the hobby, and it was a large influence to go with On30. It is great to finally see its evolution. Thanks! ~ Thayer

You know how much I dig this layout and all your work which is why I'm blaming you for this On30 stuff I'm buying...🙂

Fantastic, Joey. It's filled with inspiration and that mountain-railroading feel.

It's so awesome I don't know what else to say or how saying anything would compare to what you've created. Wow! Stay well. -Wil 👍

Joey, What motor chassis is in your mow box cab?? Please...

Im conflicted. I want to model the 3 foot narrow gauge, and have two choices. Hon3, and On30. I model ho scale, so Hon3 would be more accurate, but On30 has more resources. Please help me, -Katie S.

@katies6426 2 жыл бұрын

Thinking I’m gonna go with On30.

@tracksidescenery 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, comes down to whether you want to model O Scale or HO Scale as far as everything but the trains are concerned. Hard to go back to HO when you super detail in O.

@katies6426 2 жыл бұрын

I might do O scale to be accurate, but ho scale is kind of what I’m used to. I’ll do more research. Thank you, -Katie S.

Beautiful onliest thing is you move the camera so dang fast I can't take in the scene with my eyes. By the time I get focused almost the camera moves and bam trying to focus again.
