    HO Scale

    Making the train room look nice

    Sometimes part of layout building is just ensuring the space for your layout looks nice.

    My train room with my shelf layout is also my home office. I installed some new wall mounted lights and repositioned a few things as I plan on expanding to a 10ft by 2ft shelf layout with a potential additional 2ft or 4ft extention at the end.

    Also added…

  • Adding The Finishing Touches

    Added the finishing touches to my HO 4ft by 2ft diorama today, road signs by ScaleSigns.com.

    This piece is done but already planning on expanding to a 10ft by 2ft shelf layout, which I will start work on soon!

  • Easy Benchwork

    Need easy benchwork but don’t want to use power tools? I just picked up three of these shelves for $55 total on Amazon and plan to use them for my bench work.

    I will place some 2x4s on top and use the shelves as legs, making for a sturdy surface for my shelf layout at a perfect height of about 30in off the ground, which is perfect when…

  • Switching Shelf Layout Track Plan

    Since creating my 4ft by 2ft diorama I’ve posted about before, I’ve been thinking of making a shelf layout along the back corner of my home office using the first 4ft by 2ft section as a starting point.

    I ultimately have a 10ft by 2ft section available, with the last 2ft having the ability to stick out a further 2ft, making an “L” shaped…

  • Trees, shrubs and deer

    Added some trees to the 4×2 layout diorama, along with some new shrubs and deer. Also finished the last bit of road striping.

    The module is about 95% complete. Last step is to get some road signs installed but other than that its done. I’m really happy with how it turned out!

  • Fresh new pavement and a heavy hauler

    Added some new road paint and striping. A freshly paved main highway and a country road that’s seen better days.

  • Shelf Layout Benchwork Ideas

    Anyone have any suggestions for easy benchwork for a shelf layout? I’ve been working on a 4ft by 2ft diorama to practice my scenery skills and now that I’m almost done with it I’m thinking I might want to extend it into a shelf layout. I’ve got about a 10ft section along the back wall of my home office where I’m thinking of adding…

  • Letting Things Dry

    Did some work today adding tufts to my layout, including to the base of the billboard.

    The billboard is from Menards. Letting everything dry now. Also added an island to the road using foam putty where I will eventually add a stop sign.

    Next step is painting and striping the roads!
