Tour of My 12’ x 6’ O Gauge Model Train Layout

Hi Folks and welcome to MTS. This is my 7th revision of my 12’ x 6’ O Gauge model train layout. Running a Lionel Legacy L&N GP9 train on the inner loop, a Lionel Legacy Atlantic 4-4-2 Pennsylvania passenger train and a New York Central 0-8-0 train on the top loop. Check out my industrial area and downtown area with entertainment area featuring a tavern and The Hard Rock Cafe. Also have Batman keeping watch and an escaped gorilla on the mountain. Loosely modeled after the Lionel Christmas Display the was on Good Morning America several years ago. Building are from Lionel, MTH, Walthers, Woodland Scenics and Menards. Roads are made from roofing tar paper. Thanks for watching and I’ll see you down the line!

Great layout and trains. My layout is 11x4 to fit in spare bedroom, also with 3 loops. I have a large home, but no attic or basement. Subbed.

Dude, that is amazing you got all that on a 12x6 with O

[@modeltrainsolutions7368]

I couldn’t stop there…check our of my latest videos where I added a custom elevated level with bridges. Gives the layout some depth.

Nice and informative video. I'm planning my retirement layout which will be only 7 x 12 feet (all the room available) and am looking at ideas on every aspect.

A very nice video and layout. I have plans to expand my own HO scale layout (with noise reduction and storage as well), though I don't believe mine will be quite as large as this.

[@888trains]

Looks fantastic. I hope mine can look half as good when I’m done if I ever get done lol is there such a thing?💯🚂❤️😁

[@plunkervillerr1529]

I`m flabbergasted.

[@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards]

Looks awesome! Now if my wife would only let me knock a wall out . . . 🤭

[@sjwilson1079]

My wife's a train nut too. She's giving me permission to relocate our dining room to build a layout

[@04fys513]

Excellent layout. I’ve always wanted to make a city layout with lots of buildings and roads, signals, etc…. Which state are you from?

[@davidbuck9390]

Excellent layout. Who makes the ice cream shop at 7:42?

[@modeltrainsolutions7368]

Thank you for your comment. Ice cream shop is from Lionel,model number 6-24299.

[@Parry635]

Great looking layout. What radius curves did you use?

[@modeltrainsolutions7368]

The inner loop uses a combination of 36”and 60” radius curves. The mountain train use 36” radius. The outside loop has 60” radius.

[@brandonfuzi3436]

Great layout. Where did you get the operating excavator

[@modeltrainsolutions7368]

Thank you! It’s a K-Line backhoe and dump truck construction scene K-42416. I got it on eBay.

[@kensbackshop6399]

Looks much bigger then 6 by 12

[@mattyeatman1644]

What is your outer curve radius?

[@modeltrainsolutions7368]

Outer curve radius is 60 degrees.

[@plunkervillerr1529]
