- After many long evenings constructing the layout from my Hotel Room in Devon, "Argonne Forest" my WW1 009 Scale Micro Layout is finally ready for it's first running session.
Motive powder is provided by two Bachmann Baldwin 10-12-D 4-6-0T's, both fitted with Digitrains Digital Sound. These sound fitted models combined with period rolling stock (as seen on "Amiens 1918") really bring the whole scene to life, and show that you don't need a large space or room to build a model railway.
In this video we see a hive of active with supplies being brought up to the rail-head and bunkers, with returning trains carrying relieved troops from the front.

Hope you enjoy!
Superb! Just goes to show that you don't need a fancy workshop filled with tools and gadgets. If you have the skill you can build a great model railway anywhere! You've got me thinking about making my own 009 layout now 😁
Many thanks! Really does! Still believe how well the layout turned out. Highly recommended! Great scale to work in :)
Well done! The whole concept and execution of this project was just brilliant! And all (mostly) done in a hotel room!
Many thanks Shane! Glad you enjoyed the build! Certainly was a build with a difference. Got a few ideas which I might try to add at some point
Hello Callum , the layout is looking fantastic , I am quite old fashioned , so I find it amazing that a sound decoder can be fitted in such a tiny loco , but it sets everything off beautifully , stay safe , all the best , Stephen .
Thanks ever so much. Really is quite impressive. Don't know how they got the speaker in them. So easy to fit the chip too. You too
Great work Callum. A great micro layout and a history lesson to boot if you’ve been following the videos from the beginning
Thanks ever so much Ian! Glad you enjoyed the build! Really pleased with how it has all turned out :)
Awesome! Nice to see Argonne Forest finally in action!
Many thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great piece of modelling! A joy to watch. Well done Callum. 👍
Many thanks indeed Graff!
Another fantastic layout Callum, very impressive, great detail, take care stay safe , Gary
Many thanks indeed Gary! Glad you enjoyed! You too
I am impressed- currently doing a welsh narrow gauge layout that slides under my bed (in an apartment, no more space!) and I can certainly relate. Good job!
Many thanks indeed Austin! You can't beat a good micro. Hope it goes well!
Hi Callum, great video and a really nice layout. I've been watching the build with great interest as I'm planning on doing a 009 layout myself at some point in the future. It will also be my first layout and if I can get it to look half as good as yours I'll be pleased.
Thanks ever so much James! Hope it goes well! Keep us posted on progress!
@@SDJR7F88 will do 👍think it will be awhile before I start to build the layout, but I've started to build some house kits ready
Absolutely brilliant video Callum. Cheers Greg
Thanks ever so much Greg!
it looks brilliant Callum , I can't wait to see it up close at an exhibition ……………...Cheers Kev
Many thanks Kev! Fingers crossed when all things get back to normal
Very good job Callum. It is impressive.
Many thanks indeed mate! So pleased with how it has all turned out :)
The more I watch your videos, the more I want to get into 009. Love it!
Highly recommended! Really is a great scale to model, can get so much in :)
Brilliant video Callum! Argonne forest really does look good with trains running on it.
Thank indeed Charlie! Really pleased with how it all looks :) Glad you enjoyed the running session :)
Brilliant Callum, It looks so good. I really think you should open up the other end of the fiddle yard onto Amiens 1918. It would be an optional thing to run them as solo or connected layouts. This is very well done, thanks for sharing it. Stay safe. David.
Many thanks indeed David! An idea for another day :) Would certainly be interesting to find a to join them :)
Brilliant mate, loved it, the details are perfect, great sounds and running quality to.
Many thanks indeed Mike! Glad you like it! Really pleased with how it has turned out. The sound really does add another level to it :)
Great little layout ... to run...
Thanks Bob!
Hey Callum, amazing, the realism is stunning :) :) :)
Thanks Colin! Glad you enjoyed!
It would have been good to have an over view of the entire layout so we can see how it is planned out. the close ups are nice for viewings but it would be good to see the whole thing and how it is laid out
All covered in the layout updates, see video discription for more updates on the build from start to finish. czcams.com/video/VKEASJlqNNw/video.html
Excellent videos Callum, realism fantastic, I have bought two layouts in a box for n gauge shunting layouts , very interesting perspective
Thanks ever so much Colin! Glad you enjoyed the build! Hope it goes well!
Fantastic, be really nice if Bachmann would bring out the WW1 Hunslet, get a bit of British steam. As this is an American set layout I understand the Baldwin's being there.
I would certainly get one of those! However, the funny thing is these Baldwin's are British, and are technically wrong for this US layout. The Baldwin 4-6-0T replaces the Hunslets as the main WDLR locos, as they were quicker and cheaper to build. The USA forces opted for Baldwin's too, but they were 2-6-2T's, so really I should have one of those running on here ;)
@@SDJR7F88 Oh right!! Very interesting!!
I have to say i have loved every minute of this build series, well done
Am i right in thinking that its all ran on DC rather than DCC, using the point blades to transfer power???
Many thanks and glad you have enjoyed the build. Yes, all self-isolating points. However, I do sometime switch between DC and DCC for the sound fitted models
@@SDJR7F88 thanks. How have you wired so that it can run dcc also???
@@davidparker2724 I did nothing. Track still isolate. Just the two wires to the track
@@SDJR7F88 ok great. Just change controller…?
@@davidparker2724 Yep, pretty much
where did you find the Renault Tanks?
Early War Miniatures :)
You built this in a hotel room?
Hi Vincent, sure did! Here's update 1 of 5 on the project. Hope it's of interest! czcams.com/video/-o8xd8yyNkU/video.html
and soon kaiser Bills rail too?
Ex Kaiser Bills ;)
