I Would Get The Polar Express HO Scale Set From Lionel And Make It Bigger To Recreate The Movie

Great work however not sure why you wouldnt buy an existing table - something like a trestle table that can be easily packed up. Unless of course you have an unusual size in mind.

_IMPORTANT!_ Make sure you drill the holes for the turnout and feeder wires before you glue the track down!

I would much rather make this frame using 2x4s.

I would love to do the track glueing part with Lionel FasTrack.

god childhood memories, this got me into model railroading, i used to watch this series again and again every time i saw it on my youtube page.

1:35 You will also need two bumper blocks.

So Steven Keaton and Burt Gummer love the railway

Using this advice to design and build my own N gauge layout! Quite a nostalgia trip! I used to have this program on DVD 📀 when I was little.

My father was a model railroad train collector and was in a train club most of my childhood and until he passed in 2003. 🙏🚂

Wow , I started building on foam board years ago and was looked at like I had 3 heads, today that’s all I see. Nice job.

I watched all of these videos with my father 10+ years ago when I was a child. Fun to watch them again :)

you didn't show where you put the 3" pieces

Yeah, just grab your 6 foot metal ruler and this is a breeze. NOT! Don’t follow this video. The basic idea is good but it’s hard to implement the way they show. Use screws, not nails. Pre-drill and counter sink or the wood WILL split. If you use screws you can assemble laying out the frame on the floor. None of this “clamping vertically” business. Who has a clamp like that? Believe me, I followed these instructions and it didn’t go great. Doing the nailing of frame up in the air was difficult. My two cents.

Nice video, Like !

So much of story and brain power behind the table

Here is something else you could do. Replace one of the rerailers with a Bachmann E-Z Track crossing gate.

Can't believe I didn't notice this, but they left out the 2 Hayes bumpers on the spur tracks.

Woodglut Blueprints has some very useful blueprints with all the details you need.

uncle Ned needs a train set

Why couldn't bachmann atlas make double slip switch and three way switch train tracks? That would've been the best things bachmann and atlas would've made.

Watching this is 2022 is amazing.

This is awesome love me some family ties, thanks Michael

Looking back to this video about a year after i got started into the hobby, this video sparked my imagination. Amazing

This is what Burt Gummer does when he is not blowing up graboids. You did not see it in the movies, but I am sure Burt has a sub-basement with a huge HO scale railroad layout.

Burt Gummer is giving us a tutorial on model train layouts. Awesome!

I can’t believe I’ve never noticed that, Burt gummer!

Me

Is this model railroad from Cinco?

Do not use that nails big they will split the wood

Used to watch this so many times when i was young. Those were the days

Damn, but that looks good. I really need to keep this vid around for when I build my own railroad.

So tell me! what color is the ground cover Mister GreatestHobby?

I love this layout plan. I have a wealth of space in my rec room to do a layout. I want to do a "U" shape and have three different sections in the layout. I'm going to use this plan and base my train yard/round house off this plan. But I'm going to add another 4ft to the length for building consists and storage. Err anyway awesome video!

Does michael still have a channel doing this stuff can't seem to find anything

Literally after watching this video i built this layout. They actually sell a set with all the track used

Will be using this as a guide for one of my disabled clients to build his first layout

Hey what's a good way to get in touch with you about the tremors movies an at times with the trains?

There should be graboids and other Tremors accessories for a new layout?

Is that Richmond Ky?

So much nostalgia! I remember watching this as a kid on a DVD that came with some Bachmann E-Z Track I bought. (My first mistake was using E-Z Track for a layout, lol.)

Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "how to make a train with cardboard" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Piyaliyah Uncommunicative Preference - (do a google search ) ? It is a smashing one off product for discovering how to build a model train railroad easily without the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got great results with it.

Thank you this realy useful for me

Thanks for posting! It’s very clear and it will help me out a lot! Last time i had a layout i was 16, and now i’m turning 27, so i’m rusty to say the least. Having vids like these where i get a step by step guidance will save me so much money, time, and frustration, the ideas are all in my head, and thanks to content like this i get an idea on how to start with the practical bit. Can’t wait to get started myself

Definitely a good way to start the hobby. However, I would choose hand-made structures instead (made of balsa wood, styrene or, even, thin cardboard. In that case, it would be necessary to purchase the doors and windows). Also, making the grass with wood sand does´t make a layout look worse (even though its a kind of a cliché) while it's a much cheaper alternative. Concerning to the trees, little pieces of real trees sticks (specially fork-shaped ones) with some green painted pillow synthetic foam on them are an alternative.

I'm so tight on cash in using flextrack and life like track

Oooh man, I remember watching this so many times when I was younger years ago. It even helped me with dios I made later on

I hope this works with n scale

Nice

This should be on unintentional asmr
