It’s time for something a little different. This week I am starting a new series that explores the process of moving from a simple loop of track to a small layout. This video is the first concrete step, starting with a closer look at a basic loop and how to make it more interesting. In this video, you also get a glimpse of the first stage of my developing track plan.

While this is N-Scale, the principles here are transferrable to any scale.

In case you can’t find any of the products I mentioned at your local hobby shop, you can find them on my Amazon storefront:

Don't worry, I'll still be doing lots of weathering, and more of those videos are already in the pipe, but this series will also help get my layout built!
