“At Last! You Can Access 42 Amateur
Model Railroad Videos Featuring
… Detailed Scenery & Layouts,
Step-By-Step Tutorials, Quick Tips,
Solutions To Problems…
and Lots Of Inspirational
Model Railroading Ideas!”
several fascinating layouts. Be inspired as you discover how to
save time, money and stress building and maintaining your
own model railroad… without the costly mistakes!
Learn about: baseboard construction, soldering track, DCC movements and decoder programming, electrics explained, operational ideas, scenery, structures, making foliage and more.
But that’s not all… in these videos, you’ll get to tour several private layouts… not normally open to the public. You’ll be ‘abuzz’ with ideas, while watching train operations on an array of industrial, agricultural and suburban train layouts. You’ll even get to visit some train shows without having to pay the accommodation or travel costs.
And, if you’re even remotely interested in building a garden railway, then you’ll be fascinated with the tutorials and layout tour of the 3 garden railway videos in this collection. They are a real treat!
And that’s just a small ‘taste’ of what’s in store for you. Needless to say, it doesn’t matter whether you are modeling in HO, O, N, OO, Z, or G scale… these videos are for you!
From: Robert Anderson.
Before I go any further I have a confession.
These short videos are NOT glitzy, big-budget Hollywood productions. That’s why, not one of them will be a box-office hit, watched by millions of people worldwide.
Far from it! These are amateur videos made by, and for, keen model railroading enthusiasts like you and me.
Just think about it; when it comes to building a layout, it’s the ideas and techniques that matter, not whether these tutorial and layout tour videos will win an Academy Award. Am I right?
You see, I could have mortgaged my house to pay a production company tens of thousands of dollars to produce them, but then each video would have tripled or quadrupled in price!
I could have turned them into a DVD set, but this would have made them too expensive for the many railroaders on a fixed income.
So instead, I’ve focused on providing good content and I’ve had to sacrifice some quality in the production process.
Truth is; sections of these videos are a bit blurry and on some occasions my hand is a bit shaky with the camera. So, if that bothers you, then these videos are not for you.
Here's What Really Matters...
‘CONTENT IS KING’ You'll get lots of useful ideas and tips to help you build or improve your own model railroad.
But, that's only half the story...each short video* was filmed 'down-under' in Australia and New Zealand, so you'll see some interesting layouts, unique scenery ideas (both countries are renowned for stunning scenery) and ingenious solutions to problems. You’ll find these ver-r-r-y interesting!
Rest assured, if you live in the USA, Canada, UK or Europe, you'll notice the models and supplies are from the same manufacturers you'll see at home. So, these videos are 100% relevant to you.
Save The Videos To Your Computer, Or On Disk, For Future Viewing Whenever You Want…
You might think I'm crazy, but I don't want to sell thousands of these videos. I would rather make them available to only those who will really appreciate them. That's why this invitation has only gone out to my loyal subscribers, so you'll be one of a select few to see them.
Truth is; I would have liked to offer them to you for nothing, but if I don't eat and cover some of my costs, I won't be able to keep sending you other helpful model railroading ideas.
Likewise, to keep the prices down, these videos are only available as a download and not available in stores, or on a commercial disk – so please don’t ask.
With that said; you can save each video to your computer, or to a disk, and build your own personal resource library of 42 video clips.
Now, if you’re like me… and would rather have good content, rather than some fancy ‘Hollywood style’ production, I can honestly say you will enjoy these videos and find them stimulating and helpful. Each video is between 3 to 12 minutes in length. You'll see ideas you might not have considered and be able to try out some different techniques on your own layout.
More on that in a moment - but first, let me explain what you will get on each video:
Week 1
Video #1. ‘My Railroad’ (Part 1) 75 year old John takes you on a tour of his HO layout. It's remarkable how John has compacted so many ideas and features into a small 10 foot x 8 foot room. If you are pushed for space, then you'll be inspired by what John has achieved. Without giving too much away, I can reveal that John will tell you about the monorail he built, he'll ‘double head’ a couple of steam locos and add smoke oil.He'll also operate the ‘Big Boy’ locomotive and take you on a tour around the entire layout. |
 |
| Video #2. ‘Baseboard Construction’ (Part 1) The C&SFT layout is modular, being made up of modules no more than 6 feet long. This makes it easy to add extra length at either end or anywhere in the middle by adding modules. Watch, as experienced model railroader James, shows you step-by-step how to construct a baseboard. |
 |
Week 2
Video #3. ‘My Railroad’ (Part 2) |
 |
| Video #4. ‘Baseboard Construction’ (Part 2) James shows how to align the tracks between modules to avoid problems with erratic running and derailments caused by poorly aligned track. He explains how to test track alignment before ballasting. |
 |
Week 3
| Video #5. ‘My Railroad’ (Part 3) On this video John shows his electrical setup and explains scenery construction techniques. He demonstrates a working crane and gives an interesting tutorial on lubricating a locomotive and how to use conducta lubricants for cleaning and lubricating commutators. |
 |
| Video #6. ‘Trains In The Tropics’ The Cairns/Kuranda Scenic Railway in Queensland, Australia is an amazing example of engineering achievement. This is a fascinating look at the prototype and HO layout including the Skyrail and unique ‘Aussie style’ buildings. Very interesting! |
 |
Week 4
| Video #7. ‘Agriculture & Industrial Layouts’ You'll be impressed with many of the clever model railroading scenery ideas in this video. Watch a sugar cane train on its journeys from fields to sugar mill. This layout features: a wheat growing district, a loaded coal train, open-cut mine and port facility. There's even an outback town with livestock yards portrayed. Lots of ideas here! |
 |
| Video #8. ‘Soldering The Track’ In this tutorial James, will show you how to solder and wire track for a reliable connection every time. James talks you through the process step-by-step and reveals a little trick to get a good solder! |

He gives some valuable tips and shows you how to avoid problems you may not have thought of. |
Week 7
| Video #13. ‘DCC Movements’ James will show you some ideas on how to make the best use of DCC. His Chicago & South Forest Terminal RR is an HO scale, point to point switching and industrial layout, set in Illinois and Indiana. He starts by showing some train movements you can do in DCC that you can’t do in DC without switches to isolate sections. James shows an easy way to keep a register of locos and their DCC settings. |
| Video #14. ‘Model Train Show – Brisbane’ (Part 2) This second amateur video of the Brisbane Model Train Show is nearly 11 minutes in length. Some of the pics are a little blurry, but I know you'll be glued to the action and impressed with the variety of locomotives and rolling stock on display. The scenery is simply outstanding! |
| You'll see close up shots of an old gas station, some character houses, a level crossing, a fishing village, a cityscape, a fire scene, an old mining town and more. The highlight of this video has got to be the farmyard scenes. The staging of cows in the milking shed is as realistic as it gets. |
| Other fascinating farmyard scenes include close-ups of: beef cows at a waterhole, realistic fencing, a diesel fuel tank, pig pens and a multitude of farm equipment. If you are planning on adding a farm or country scene to your layout, then this clip is not to be missed! |  |
Week 8
| Video #15. ‘DCC Decoder Programming’ One of the great features of a NMRA compatible DCC system is the ability to change the operating characteristics of locomotives. James shows how to change basic settings, such as minimum and maximum speed, using the ROCO LokMaus 11 DCC system and how to program CV2 using the F1 key. This clip includes some useful CV’s for basic decoder programming. James goes on to show how you can change the decoder channel number of a locomotive on the Bachmann Ezycommand DCC system. |
| Video #16. ‘A Garden Railway Tour’ (Part 2) Colin continues his garden railway tour explaining how and why he built the elevated track sections. He reveals the two ‘must-have’ features of any garden railway and discusses the effects of climate, lighting and the different train control systems. Colin then demonstrates an electrically operated Baldwin Steam Locomotive and gives some tips on ‘points’ and structure building. |
Week 9
| Video #17. ‘Electrics Explained’ In this video clip, James explains the control panel he built to control various points on his layout including the signals. He shows you how he has motorized all the turnouts on the main tracks and why he’s left all the other turnouts, such as the interchange, as manual throw turnouts. James has used different methods to attach the turnouts depending on their location on the layout and shows how he has mounted the DCC system under his baseboard. |
| After a quick tour James explains how to measure the track voltage and how to reduce the voltage to prevent decoders from overheating or failing. He then shows you step-by-step how to build a ‘diode matrix’ set. |  |
"I've saved each video to my computer so I can watch them whenever I want a break from doing chores around the house. Thanks." "I made my first baseboard after watching the video tutorial. You made it so easy to understand." |

Wonderful entertainment! |
Week 11
| Video #19. ‘Model Train Show – Wanganui’ (Part 2) Continue your Train Show Tour with a close look at two amazing HO layouts. The first is the Rocky River Railroad with double-headed locos hauling coal, tankers and other freight through tunnels and climbing steep grades. This is rough terrain and spectacular to watch. By contrast the next layout is a busy European Railway packed with fascinating with scenery ideas and a wonderful mix of freight and passenger trains. Not to be missed! |
Week 12
| Video #20. ‘Model Train Show – Wanganui’ (Part 3) The scratch-built coal loading facility is one of the first things you'll spot when you see the Bay Railway Modelers ‘Ironbridge Flats Railroad’ HO layout in operation. Watch an Amtrak passenger train power through a railroad crossing and disappear into a tunnel as a couple of Santa Fe locos haul freight through an industrial area. |
| Then there's the UK Southern Railway layout to get even more ideas from. You'll see a mix of steam and diesel locomotives operating and spot some excellent examples of brickwork, a water tower, character buildings including a church, railway station platform and cleverly designed countryside. The street scenes will certainly get the creative juices flowing! |
 |
| Video #21. ‘A Garden Railway Tour’ (Part 3) Colin explains his dug-out steaming bay and power control panel. He gives you a close look underneath the Union Pacific RS3 locomotive and how it operates. |
 |
| Colin shows how easy and economical it can be to run a live steamer and takes you step-by-step through the process of getting started.
