Appreciate your tips for laying track and other insights on this great hobby! Great work!

Daryk..have watched a number of your videos...they are always straight forward and easy to follow ..thank you for taking the time to share.. Tom

Great Video Deryk !!! I especially like the Trammel and the tip on removing extra ties and sliding them all the way on the rail. Barry

Excellent ! This has helped me a great deal. I thank you very much for taking your time.

This video is extremely helpful! Thanks Deryk! I'm getting ready to start building a layout and this helped me a great deal.

Seems simple enough but seeing it really makes a difference!! thanks..

Hey man just wanted to thank you this has been a huge help! Thanks for taking the time to explain exactly what it is you're doing, lots of videos just quickly brush over things but this was insightful. I hope this serves as some motivation for more vids 🙏✊

Great video, looking forward to laying out the tracks now

I like the idea of soldering 2 pieces of flex together first , then lay it , thanks for the tips ,

Very well explained .If you use a mirror you can see if you're track is in line without craning your neck

good video and good tips will definitely help me out on some of my future projects. keep up the good work dude can't wait to see that diesel house up and going.

I like the way you made the Trammel, good ideal !

Thanks for some very useful tips. Martin (Thailand)

love your tips please keep them coming many thanks

This was a great video Deryk!! Lots of great tips for flawless track laying. Thanks for posting this, buddy and have a great day!

Yes , using a mirror gives you a VERY good view all the way back down your track .. Well said Derek .

Fantastic informational video Deryk. Your layout is looking good. Exciting weekend for my layout - I unpacked all remaining trains and started laying turnouts and track. Things should start moving quickly now until I get to the scenery stage.

Just found your video. I used my camera tripod and attached the trammel to it

Very nice job. Great lesson! :)

Great track laying video. Me, I lay track by the seat of my pants. Without a track plan or any plan at all, the layout goes in many directions.Scott

great great tip's brother very nice update !!!!!

Thankyou , great lesson !

Great video my friend.

Watching you make the twin curve and all that measuring made me think if I had a 3 axel truck I could then use the center screw hole as my leadhole and apply a short painter stir stick. Screw the stick thru the truck hole and have a hole in the stick at the distance one wants to lay a new track. Sort of following your radii stick idea. . just drag a pencil as one moves the truck down the rails

Excellent video. I will build one of those trammels for curves. Like another viewer, I design by the seat of the pants!!! Muse

Rock on Mr Mojo!!!! This video will be very helpful.

Good one, great ti[s and ideas..

Amazing video. Thank you!

The yard stick trick is sick!

I loved the 3 yard stick method I may do that but right now I have my O gauge trains down for christmas that my father gave me I am going to run HO next year I cant leave it up because I live in apartment dont have much room the trains are on my 3x5 kitchen table with sound board on top but i was able to come off the table a little at 64x44 inches

Great tip's for track laying Cheers Glynn

Thanks for the great video. I laid out a double oval using AnyRail and then cut the center line into Homasote on a CNC router. It would have worked great except that AnyRail doesn't seem to have the turnouts drawn correctly. As a result, my inner oval does not tie in correctly to my outer oval. Pretty frustrating, but it's a process I guess.

I'm using your method of track laying and putting down my cork road bed on a foam sub road bed/base! As a newbie to the hobby,I have found your method to be the easiest for me to go with. I need to line my track,and then put down the cork road bed. I'll be watching your video on putting down the cork road bed as well.

There is nothing wrong with being particular. Great Video Thanks for Tips. Also its a expensive hobby so low and slow.

Great how to !! How about using the clear ruler next to your track to make sure it's straight along with the eye.. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.. Lance 🚂 Keep them videos coming...

nice work I see you went with 2 1/2 inch center's but very nice can't wait to see it in operation

Excellent video

Great video Deryk! I always like to see how different people do their track work and you and I are on the same page. Just curious as to where you found those large pieces of cork at as it really works out great, so glad to see you back into model railroading as you look much happier and relaxed,. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to next video!

Hi Deryk thanks for your videos they have been very helpful, did you do one on how to make the trammel? Thanks

Very helpful.

great video

I would make a marking gauge that fit over the existing track and hold a marker the appropriate distance. Place the track following part of the gauge on the existing track and Mark the centerline of the new track. Works on the inside or outside of the existing track. Laying out the first track is another matter.

Know Derek you are not just another pretty face. Great explanation on this.

nice model train video.

Great informational video and tips. Love the Trammel idea! What thickness of cork sheeting did you use for the yard areas?

This looks simple, it's not. Thanks. I tried the black foam. Cork costs a little more, sure is worth it. First of all, you can do exactly this. Cork, more stable, doesn't change elevation when glued, ballasted, or under stress from track laying. Thanks again DG. Going to lay some track now that you got me pumped up.

My Advise is this And It will Help Don’t Rush it give Yourself Maybe 6 Options to Go with.then Go with it.

Have you ever tried the Tracksetta track gauges available tnrough Peco, they are available in several different radi and a 10 in straight fit right between the rails to form the curves! Peco also do a track spacing tool one side for correct 6ft way the other for more liberal track spacing!

+DG Modelworks could you do a video showing us how to power sections of track synced to a remote control?

Thank you for your demonstration, very helpful for a novice like me. But where did you get your engine maintenance shed please

Are you laying cork roadbed on top of your corked tabletop leading up to your garage? Thanks, very helpful video.

Hi just checking on you how you been love to see some of your videos

I think extra time spent doing track pays dividends later...rushed track causes loss of power, dereailments etc...

I need you to back up to laying the cork roadbed and how you installed the initial line used as reference points. Thank you.

Great video Deryk, Well im going with micro engineering track and turn outs. I like the looks of it. One Question about the track, What did you use to shape your track? I know MLR Mfgs made a tool but they discontinued it i'm hearing and I haven't had any luck finding one either any thoughts ?

Good info. Your mojo must have texted my mojo, because I'm back to noodling with my layout too :) My Walthers info shows that turnout (no. 6.5?) as 24" outside, 20" inside

Do you ballast your turnouts? I was only asking because what you were saying about changing them out if needed.

is the yard lead behind the engine facility going to connect to the main at the lift out bridge? would make a great huge run around/ passing track.

I think Walthers has the best turnouts just because all rails are powered except for the frog. which is easy to do

I'm in the process of designing a layout. Where how did you get your colored train plans?

So It seems much simpler to just freehand the curves and make sure they arent too sharp with a piece of sectional, that seems like what your doing? When do you use trammel for your layout? I'm new was going to pim yarn where I wanted track to design it

I'm a little OCD myself (Virgo), what make and length do you use for your curved track or did you use a flex track?

What track planning software you use?

What do you use for the roadbed?

Are those N-Scale jointers that your useing ?

plastic thumb tacks work great on wood

Great video But what is radius of outer curve

any layout updates yet. like to see what you have done it's been a while

is that horseshoe curve at the start of ur video

couldn't you just rig a marker to a car and use it to make the track line?
