EXCELLENT VIDEO! I might have the the absolutely best excuse(s) as to why I'm an armchair (wheelchair?!?) model railroader. I'm terminally ill. That's right, the train is about to leave the station. When? "We" don't know. But Even I have fallen into the traps you've mentioned. On a day to day basis, time is not a factor for me. Now, as to "when the train is leaving the station" ( you know, when I get my ticket punched!) IS. I'm 54, not that old, but have lead quite the life. Including "automotive stunt driver" (no, that's not what put me in the wheelchair, on oxygen, medications, etc, etc, etc) that's right, I used to be a figure 8 driver (for fun) and a rollover driver (drove my car over a ramp and rolled it several times, three times a show, for about ten years.) Now, do to my illness (pneumonia ruined my lungs, plus COPD and Pulmonary fibrosis) I can have a few/several days in a row where it's difficult to get out of bed, BUT I might have a "couple", "few" almost a week where I'm not 100% but at least 60%-80%, able to walk with a cane, no chair. But I CATCH myself, on good days, making excuses. I was going to build using pallets, "skids" but that's no longer an option, so I bought banquet tables, only (pfffft! ONLY... here comes the excuse!) 4 weeks ago, They aren't up yet. Why? procrastination, I need to rest up, ....etc. About a month ago I bought a small house model kit, started building about a week ago and am in the final stages of finishing it. I almost have everything I need for my "dream" layout, was smart enough ( well, in truth, the Anyrail free version forced me into) to build, on the computer, "stages" to build my layout. But the tables aren't up and should be, the surface I chosen to use should be glued down, track should be partially laid... "oh, but I'm dying!" blah blah blah. I've had enough good days over the past month to have at least gotten SOMETHING done, besides the house. I'll let you in on a little secret. As I said, I've had quite the life and building a model layout is the last thing on my bucket list. Something I promised myself when I had my first railroad at the age of 10-14, when I retired, I'd build the "dream" layout which in reality is fairly simple, fits in the room, track plans are done, it's a matter of DOING. Now, you don't know me, but I know me and I know that I've fallen into every trap in your video! ("Oh, but the poor guy is sick!" Save it. I know I'm procrastinating, lol. ) As it turnouts (see what I did there?!?) I think I WILL start with a smaller layout, one for my son, who has shown interest, one that fits his apartment and is portable, then build mine after. I gain experience, he gains a layout that fits his apartment. This video came at the perfect time for me. I'll be watching it several more times, motivate myself to get started on "a" layout, learn, and THEN build mine! Thanks for the butt kicking, as well as the inspiration!

I have built other layouts through the years so have respectable skill levels in all the required areas. My problem is motivation. My wife passed away 5 years ago and my life just seems empty with little purpose. I have no friends in the new location I'm in and there are no clubs or groups to give me some push. As such very little has been done. Maybe 3/4 of the track is functional, 0% scenery and few structures. I have many more pieces of rolling stock than I will ever be able to use, naturally.

I build each scene individually and eventually, when I have the proper space, the scenes will be connected into the dream layout. But for now, I learn new skills and make progress toward the dream layout……with NO wasted effort. Everything I’ve done to date with the four scenes I’ve built will all be incorporated into a larger layout later.

Very well said. I have one word to add: MODULAR. Build that big puppy in individual modules that each can be finished as you go. My little 2x4 oval "small town" layout with an expansion siding will now become an "end point" for a branch line on the "dream layout" and thus I will never have to tear down what I have spent so much time on. Inbound trains (diesel) can "run around" the train after deliveries and pickups and head back out the expansion siding back down the branch line to the main line.. So thus far in my "dream", I have my 6 track yard and my small town oval - on two separate modules yeah my "main line" from town industries to my "storage" yard is about 3 feet (N Scale) but I am running trains and working on model skills.

💩 Everytime I see this video, I cringe.....BECAUSE, you are prolly correct. It's been six years since I bought my first four SD40-2's at a consignment shop. Then I bought a Walther's catalog. Soon after I attended several train shows. Purchased lots and lots of trains and train layout accessories. (76 diesel engines and two locomotives, 400 or so assorted freight and passenger cars, and maybe 100 structures. Both in kit form and pre-assembled). I have been renting a 14x20 foot building with electricity and heating for five years to build my not so dreamy layout in also! Worst news is my next of kin threaten to toss it all in a dumpster if I croak in the mean time! However....Just the thought, [and in my best imaginary dreams....yes dreams,] finally starting construction of a layout is prolly the only thing in my recent years is what keeps me breathing from year to year! At 73, and finally getting out and about after a year of being bedridden because of a near death experience and crippling leg injuries, I feel closer and closer to a real start. Soooon. Maybe tomorrow. Not tomorrow. Tomorrow is grocery day. Next Monday. Yup. Thanks.

This is a good video and the content is very good. My first layout started when I was 12 and it was a 4x8. At age 66, I am now on layout #6 and it is a huge U shaped one in my basement. Honestly, when I got done with the framework for the current layout, I had a thought that I was taking on a monumental project. However over the course of four years, I have pretty much covered it with track and structures and have met goals of operation and things I wanted on the layout. The moral of the story is to start building a small layout and over time, expand that layout into something bigger. Model railroading is a lot of fun and doing all the necessary things such as designing a layout, carpentry , electrical, laying track, doing scenery and running the layout is a wonderful journey.

My dream layout is a strange one. It is dual scale, HO + N. It has a foreground, and a background. The goal would be to have two identical trains in HO and N and a "continuous" run where the HO is in the foreground and enters a tunnel, then after a set delay, the same train exits in the distance, but is the N scale train. In the meantime the HO runs a loop under the layout to exit at the appropriate time as the N scale disappears to it's own loop. A play on depth perception. In the meantime though, I am going to get started this year on a small N scale that has a switching yard and a continuous loop in a small U layout, main focus the railyard, maybe with a hump, with a dual line between the entrance and exit of the yard, squeezed down to a single line thats the loop, add in a few towns and some water, the rear of the loop raised to run above the main level of the layout with a bridge or two. I think I can fit it in a 10' x 8' U.

If you want to see progress on your dream layout you need a phased delivery plan. The one layout I started was terrible and was destroyed before track was laid. The stars have finally aligned for my dream of a garden railway BUT I'm being REALISTIC with a PHASED delivery plan that takes your railway from nothing to good to perfect. For me that means a simple loop made roughly using planks and blocks to get trains running then slowly adding details, replacing planks with bridges/trellis, adding tunnels and landscaped embankments. Extending the railway with new loops, stations, sidings. From a trains perspective it's the same but with more focus on cost cutting. I'll be relying on battery powered kits rather than scratch building dream steam locos to save money and make sure I don't waste time/money on something I'm not sure I'll enjoy when I can spend it on track laying and landscaping. The perfect/good also comes into play in compromising when deciding how realistic/time correct you want things to look. A flexible period/location/scale accuracy is important in delivering real results, even if you're aiming for perfection. You could even build you dream layout in sections as individual layouts if it works for you.

I took down a ON3 layout years ago that I used Dept 56 buildings just to trying it out in a 12x12 layout with multiple levels, but not knowing much I really caused all the track issues I had. With fixed income and lack of space, I doubt I could do it now, but your suggestion to start small and build up, modular as someone put it, is a good idea.

It depends on how big your layout is and how many locos you intend to run at the same time. Most DCC systems will handle a handful of the older engines all at once. But if you have more than that, remotoring may be the right move. Also, for a small layout, sticking with DC may not be an issue. It all depends on what your operational goals are.

I'm in N scale so that would allow for both so that would allow. I also think your whole "don't want to screw up, especially when money is involved" is the big one for me.

One caveat though in terms of space Yeah most people have space for a small switching layout but that isn’t what everyone wants to do Some people want to do more of a loop running with large passenger trains To run scale realistic passenger excursions trains like UP steam excursions you need gentle turns and Long sections of track This is not an arm chair modeling thing though. The extra room that I have for a layout while to small for what I do with HO scale, was the perfect size for a decent postwar Lionel setup so that is what I did

Space can be an issue. Sometimes people don't want to just build a small switching layout. The idea of modelling is to enjoy it, not to do it just because you have to. I would dislike a small switching layout. I want a layout where a train can run around a certain amount of track. Your opinion is your opinion, not everyone wants the same thing and space can be an issue for what someone would like to build. Would you build a layout you hate using? I don't think so.
@ThePixelDepotLLC

The point was to build something to practice for when you can build something big. You won't like a small switching layout? At least build a diorama so you can learn the structure and scenery techniques you'll use on a big layout, rather than being faced with 1,000 new things all at once while trying to build that big layout. Don't use space as an excuse to do nothing.

One other thing is a small layout will let you know if model railroading is a hobby you want to do. Some people like the idea of having a huge model railroad, but after getting lots of rolling stock, track, scenery, and buildings, they realize is not as exciting as they think. If you start with a smaller layout you will find out if it is really something you want to do, or if it is something it would be better left to your imagination.

Since getting into the hobby back in 2015, I have basically been running my trains on a floor "layout" usually seasonally (O scale Lionel fast-track). I started the process of finishing my basement about a week ago which I hope to have done by the end of this month/middle of next month. Even the basement Reno kind of goes along the lines of " don't let great get in the way of good" as the basement will mostly be for the layout and a small hangout area and saving money where I can so it can go into the layout build is always a factor. I don't need the best flooring, wall, lighting, etc. Heck, Im just painting the ceiling and rafters so it looks a little more finished. This year we couldn't do a floor layout bc I have a 1 yr old and that would not have gone well. Missing the ability to run trains was a good motivator to start something that was already in the plans to do, but just needed that little extra push. I think if you are someone who has a collection but not a layout and always wanted one, you should take time to just look at some items in your collection as often as possible as a reminder to get going so you can enjoy the items you have spent money and time on. Before you know it, the time you could have been enjoying the hobby will be gone and you'll be even further behind or worse, it'll never happen. I agree with the video that something is better than nothing. Even if it is getting a layout on a folding table so you can run trains and practice some modeling on, its worth it. Happy modeling to all and hope those out there trying to get their own layout going success.

You have said so many bits of useful advice in just 20 minutes and hopefully people are now goal setting. I have built a few layouts, always in n scale, but have never finished any. I have time, I am retired, but no much in the way of disposable income. But I decided to set myself a goal, I wanted to complete a layout and hone my skills. So I decided to put the current project on hiatus until I have completed a easier to complete layout. So the project, which is now, just waiting for rolling stock, static grass and trees, But the rest of it which is the terrain and ground covering is completed. It is on a piece of 1 1/2" foam and the foam is 21" long and 5" wide. Nothing more than a photo plank really. There are no points, but the track is 2 lengths and soldered together and it is wired by soldering the underside of the track. It is Hon30 and even though I am an Australian, it is specifically Hon30, Both the State Government Railway had a narrow gauge network of 2'6" and the loggers used a gauge between 2' and 3' on the whole. At the moment I am waiting for the holiday season to finish, before ordering some rolling stock. But in the meantime I have scratch built a guards van (caboose) and a passenger carriage and am half way through a static locomotive, all built out of card. As you can imagine this project which is currently less than a month old, has given me more satisfaction, then all the others, which I have never finished. So what I would add to your remarks is that your first completed layout does not have to be even as big as The Grunge.

I’m fairly young in this hobby, my early twenties, and sometimes I see the older guys in this hobby and their layouts and their tendency to “purist” attitudes has made me feel a bit intimidated. I also couldn’t help but laugh to myself when I watched because this idea of a “dream” layout and how specific it is for everyone but for me…it was for a layout to even exist at all! I don’t exactly specific grandiose plans because I never did! Everything I’ve ever collected or was handed down was a mish mash of stuff. Childhood me just wanted layout at all. So I do have a plan but it’s not specific, I just want it to happen. But these tips are what I feel can help me get the ball rolling, so I thank you so much!

Great video. Applies to all areas, not just model railroading. I started with joining a modular club. I am now convinced that modular is the only way to build a model railroad whether you are building a first time layout or a "dream" layout. The layout can expand and grow as you progress. Start small and then grow. There are so many other advantages to modular modeling and few disadvantages. It be great to have you do a series of videos on modular railroading.

Awesome video. I started building my 'dream' layout thirty or so years ago. I had the time and motivation, but luckily not the space or money. Because of that I started small and built a portion of it using the dreams and ill guided desires at the time. I still have a decent portion of that layout having corrected many of the mistakes I learned over the years, changing road names, goals and a significant bit of benchwork. It remains the most problematic portion of the layout as I continue to correct track issues. I'm so glad I didn't go all out and build a huge layout my first time out or I probably would have frustrated myself into quitting. My current layout has very little resemblance to that distant 'dream' I once had, but has given me years of enjoyment, simply because I jumped in and started small.

Great video and mostly correct! I just have not started the layout because I am afraid of messing up like I did on all of the previous layouts. I have finally started though. Simplicity will be my motto so I hope!!! For a lot of us "bigger is to much money". I'm now building a point to point road with the ability to enlarge it to a point to point with a 4 by 16 foot island in the middle of my room. I'm 76 years old and I really don't know if I hive the time left to do what I want but I will try. Get the point to point to my liking and then tackle the large island. My road is the RSCD&C first initials of all of our names. Videos eventually to come!!! No duck under just a walk around road. In everything I have ever done in modeling my goal was to have a museum quality modeling but if you fall short, you will still have a pretty great model. I have mostly fallen short of perfection but have had several great looking models. Go for great and if you fall short you will have a better model that the person that strives for "good enough".Simplicity is where I am starting this time. I don't comment on many things I see because I have been told that my comments are mostly insendary even though all I tend to want to do is improve their modeling or videoing.Going to send you an email...

Not to start with your dream layout is a great advise: I started with a small 2 by 1 meter H0 layout just to learn and try-and-error. Of course I invested time and money into it - but as my over-all goal was to learn and try different technics, at the end I wasn't mad about any failures. This "cheap" layout and the learnings from it, will save me a lot of money on my current, full-room layout In addition I built several dioramas just to test a specific technic or topic - as example my first lake was just on a diorama It turned out pretty well, so I can keep this technic - if it would be messed up, I just lost a little money instead of ruining a large part in my final layout

Here’s a thought your first layout should be small. This is why the 4x8 is so popular it’s just big enough to run HO and still have switching and continuous running and if you go N you’ll have way more room too do more. Going small gives you the opportunity to finish the layout and gives you a feel for the hobby if you mess up it’s not a big deal on a small layout like it would be on a massive empire. You don’t break the bank you learn and get a fee for the hobby and you’ll be having fun that’s the big one. Here are some other things too make a small layout fun have at least two switch tracks that go to industries. Have one end of your loop have a passing siding either in the turn or the straight away. If your running DC make block sections on the industries and passing siding. Now you’ll be able to park a train why’ll running another. Now you can switch cars out at the two industries and have the trains go around the layout. This gives something for your trains too do and you utilize the entire layout. It’ll be more fun then you think.
