On the bright side, I really enjoy that the face of that troublesome van in "Haunted Henry" has become a complete running gag for this channel; its placement in the thumbnail is just golden humor.

Do a British layout then they won’t have to be smooth

Woodland scenics makes a road making kit that includes the smooth-it and the paving tape. Another thing I would recommend having done, is use some extra wood or some sheet styrene to make a barrier around the edge of the board.

Nice that you put in a clip from Cars in here. I always enjoy watching that movie. 1:29

Glad to see another one of these Model Railway Vlogs. Great work, T1E2H3!

T1E2H3 getting screwed over for 7 minutes and 52 seconds 💀

As a citizen of the county that Britain forgot I actually think the plaster attempt was more accurate. Also to give the layout some life maybe a small building could be added like a hut or a signal box?

Just use asphalt colored cardstock from Hobby Lobby. That's what I used for my O scale layout. Though you'll have to get a paper slicer to scale/cut it correctly.

Well, now you know how Lighting McQueen felt lol

“Not a model railroad, a model railroad road.” Me: “You can always think about trying again.”

Well I guess the way people get things smooth with sanding is by first using a heavy grit sand paper and then going over it with a finer grit. The heavy grit removes a lot of the big imperfections, then the fine grit helps smooth out the small ones. It's tedious though which is why I don't sand stuff down often myself, and when I do, I just use one grit, which I then use paint to hide the "imperfections." And of course, how I get it looking smooth as I can, I mentioned my methods in your Horace vid. How that helps you somehow.

If you ever try again, try using vinyl concrete patch. It's pretty easy to work with and it looks good in it's natural color, it's like putting mortar on a brick.

*George has liked this video*

It's a wonderful experience that's all it is accidents happen and you learn from them

Mr. T1E2H3, if you take requests, would you make a YTP of the infamous "Middle Engine" episode? It'd be really fun.

You could use stepping stone mix in a silicon mold, maybe that might work, your model making series helps me out a lot by showing me how to plan my own layout, i can’t wait to see horace in a ttte series

Tutorials make things so easy when in reality it's hard as heck

Ripping up roads. What a life!

4:19: Me when I tried to rip the old tiles off the floor and replaced with new ones ones.🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

way to go mate

I hear Henrietta and Edward saying How in the beginning

I wish I knew how to do model railroads. I tried a few times. It was really brutal

Everyone's giving suggestions to T1E2H3 on how to make the roads smooth. Nobody is talking about how the man sounded like Undertale's Papyrus with his "HOW?!" in the intro.

Tbh what i do if detailing is too hard and just defeats its own point, I just skip it and work on stuff like track and locos. Btw, there is this sorta road tape thing, it looks eh, but still kinda shows what its supposed to be. Edit: shouldve watched the whole video lol, you show it at the end.

Bertie With Truck Face: OuCh!!! ThAt’S aNoThEr HoLe In ThE rOaD!!!

T1E2H3: why did I get this unprofessional curse?

I love the part where he just starts playing with the vehicles

best way i make my roads is to use filler and once it dry sand it down and if there any little holes just fill them in with filer then sand them down then you should be good.

George: roads are no good turn them into railways

Sanding, depending on the grit, effects how smooth a surface is. like 50-100 takes of a lot while 1500-3000 makes it very smooth

In regards to the road that just got painted on: why not get a cork roadbed or something and paint that? It would add much needed texture and might even look somewhat realistic.

When I was building my layout, I didn't bother fussing about with model road resin mixture as it can get really messy. Painting on a road may not be very realistic but it hasn't let me down. I use Games Workshop paint as it dries quicker and doesn't leave too much brushstrokes. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter as it is your layout at the end of the day.

6:54 The Ford Mustang has a 0-60 acceleration of between 4 and 7 seconds, and a battery charge time of between 7 and 9 hours. The steamroller, on the other hand, has a GIANT ROLLER, and crushed a narrow gauge van. So, in short, the steamroller.

Dude, I don’t know how they do it either..

I dare you to make an ox out of that steamroller

I think you're supposed to use high grit sandpaper to get it smooth. I'm not 100% positive though.

George: Uhh sh*t, here we go again.

4:03 tearing up roads? George would like to know your location. A nice funny video! Now I’m wondering why people smooth their models

It's actually pretty simple Just make the road smooth.

Get a Bachman rheneas it’s worth the cash then get a dolgochification kit for the funnel and coal bunkers paint them up and done . Then you have a 3rd engine to join

@Thomas1Edward2Henry3 could be set in the irish countryside, considering our roads are terrible

4:10 T1E2H3 The Kniferoller

Human version of Lightning McQueen.

Honestly, I think the road looks pretty decent.

i guess you could have used paper mache and then painted it grey to give you that smooth road look you wanted

Give the road a cookie, and then it will be smooth

Hey one quick tip use wood all you need to do is sand it use some polish and paint over it

Do you think maybe you could do a Kingdom Hearts portrayed by Thomas video? Won’t force you, just asking

common t1e2h3 W

You’re actually a mostly decent role most.

3:42 hmm head reveal

Is your layout going to be a dogbone track plan

oh my

Definitely a decent attempt for a model.

I am eating cupcakes with mustard

maybe try building it in trainz 19/22 first?

I’d just use sandpaper

George would be upset at this road

Honestly bud… the first attempt you perfectly made the roads of Michigan. Just say that’s what it is and anyone whose been to the state will believe you

I could give you tips-

Trowell?

Use a Steam Roller matchbox or Use a Spatula

just say the set up is meant to be set in the midwest cause the roads here suck

hello

If you look at animation roger channel I have seen he build some sets he use black sand for roads in his stop motion ho scale car video I know its odd but I think it’s cool even though you don’t have to be professional at model making

Roadways are no good! Pull 'em up! Turn them into rails!

Don’t beat yourself too much with your model making skills, pretty much everybody royally screws up at some point

It doesn’t look that bad. To me at least.

This is why i use paper mache

0:14

So, for plaster roads, you have to sand them smooth.

just let it be blackburn road

If you say it’s a Midwest road then you won’t need to make them smooth

Make American layout so you don't have to try. Just slap some tanish brown spray paint on Styrofoam

Roadways are no good. Turn them into rails

Hey T1E2H3! do you have kids?

tbh it'd probably be easier to just paint on a road instead of using this road stuff you got

It mater

Foot

make polish roads, than they will be realistic
