Check out the mountains and hills and all the tunnels in this layout. This model railroader says that it can take 10 minutes for a train to make its way around the entire loop of his setup.

Tunnels for your Model Railway Layout

Model Railway Layouts — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:03:26 +0000

Tunnels are a great way to add some variety and interest to your model railway layout. Kids love watching a train disappear into a tunnel and then seeing where it comes out. There’s some fun about that time when they can’t see the train!

Model train tunnels aren’t difficult to add to your layout. You can buy kits that can be used to make a tunnel or you can make one yourself. You can purchased tunnels that simulate rock, stone, or wood. You can paint them to provide the best effect for your layout.

Tunnels are not that hard to make either. A particularly easy way is to crumple up some newspapers and put them on the tracks where you want your tunnel to be. Cover the newspapers with some cellophane. Then get a can of Great Stuff. This is that foam that you can get in almost any do-it-yourself like Home Depot, or stores like Walmart. You can use it spray into areas around your home that you want to fill with something.

Spray the foam over the newspapers, building it up to the approximate height–you can trim it later. Leave it overnight to set, and then remove the newspapers. You’ll have a great looking tunnel. All you need to do is shave it down to the desired height and shape and then paint it and you have a perfect tunnel.

Give it a try and see how easy it is to add a tunnel to your model railway layout.

Model Railway Layout Backdrops

Model Railway Layouts — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 04:24:56 +0000

Backdrops can provide instant scenery for your model railway layout. Backdrops for a wide variety of scenes and backgrounds can be purchased. You can find backdrops for sky with clouds, mountains, city, industrial,residential, rolling hills, stormy skies, and many, many more. Backdrops are generally higher quality than backgrounds, which may not matter if you are not close to your model railway layout. If you can get up close, however, you might want to consider a high quality background.

If you have the time and skill, you could also consider creating your own backdrop. A blue sky with clouds is not terribly difficult to do and can add a lot to your model railway layout. One thought is to simply have your layout over towards a wall and to paint the background right on the wall all the way up to the ceiling. With a little more practice and skill you could also add mountains and trees. If you have interest in doing your own backdrops, check out Painting Backdrops for Your Model Railroad for information to help you.

Whatever you decide to do, your model railway layouts will be greatly enhanced by a great looking backdrop!
