Summary: Even the most casual model train enthusiasts are rarely satisfied with just a train line. They have to build a world around it, recreating landscapes, towns, parking lots, even road hazards to make their layouts as realistic as possible. Their hobby soon grows to include model cars, home construction, precision painting of miniature figures. And of course you have to have a landscape to put all of these things on. The end result can be truly amazing with train lines running through whole villages recreated in basements and garages across the country.

In this series of free hobby videos, you will learn how to create your own model trail village. Our expert will help you to create a styrofoam base for your landscape, then suggest how to add buildings, cars, even sidewalks and roads to your model train layout. Watch this series to learn how to plan tracks and route your trains to create a fantastic world of your own.
