Welcome to Model Railroader Video Plus
Yes, David punches through the backdrop of the original Olympia Logging Co. On30 display-style layout. But first, he talks through many of the modifications he made to his design for the new extension. More proof that even the best-laid plans are subject to change!
So you've got a plan in mind for a new model railroad, but just can't seem to get it out of your head?!? In an all-new MRVP mini-series, helpful handyman Gerry Leone walks you through the steps for turning a layout idea into a specific track plan, all with the assistance of computer-aided design (CAD) software. In Part 1, Gerry gets things started by showing you how to shape the virtual space for a layout.
Host Jenny Maaske is back from Spring Break – just in time to introduce some of the new shows and new series coming to MR Video Plus this season! Enjoy this sneak peek of the exclusive content arriving in April, but only MRVP subscribers will get to view all of the new videos we have in store!
MRVP Video Vault tours Jim Raymond's HO scale Chesapeake & Ohio Allegheny Division layout originally featured in the 1991 premier edition of Great Model Railroads (out of print).
After a mid-winter adventure, host Gerry Leone is back in the country...but he's still Off The Rails! In this episode, Gerry shares clever tips and tricks for dealing with harsh lighting above, messy wires below, and room clutter that can diminish the appeal of a layout.
The plywood panels are now in place, and the track centerlines are all marked! In this episode of the Canadian Canyons series, it's time for David to begin the track laying effort by first installing cork roadbed. Follow along, as he demonstrates tips and techniques for preparing the N scale cork material, and then applying the roadbed to straight, curved, and turnout sections on the layout.
