Amazing compact layout! The rock work and waterfall are awesome, nice details. Favorite part though, the way the tunnels transition, they look so natural and believable great idea.

Geez that’s awesome, just made mine. Getting ready for paints. Thank you. Awesome instructions.

Just watched your foam portal video. Great vid. Was wondering what you used inside your tunnel for support. Thank you.

how u doing?.epic masterpiece,see you later.=))

Hello, How many trains can be ran with the 55100 system? Thank You.

Nice job, they turned out great.

I love these

Thank you for sharing. I am just now getting into the train hobby. This was a very good video.

Nice work!

Good stuff maynard.. dig it.. have you ever done a random stone portal.. doing some mountain tunnel portals for my o scale ceiling shelf layout

Wow, awesome layout indeed. Enjoyed the video very much.👍👍👍

Awesome layout and trains. Love the lighting and night effect. Enjoyed the video👍👍👍

Hey Mike, started this process on my layout and it is amazing! Wish I'd taken your advice about gloves at first though. Thanks for the thorough tutorial!

Nice work.

more like the Twilight Zone , kinda creepy

Likely one of the most useful and all-encompassing "How-to" videos on Yooper-tubor! Virtually every technique necessary to easily creating some good-looking scenery enhancements. Many thanks and kind regards!

amazing thank you

So will this method be okay to use outdoors?

great video

Love the Trump freight car!

I watch this but from the angle shown I was not sure if you were lining up the wood strip on the upper edge of the first row groove or trying to eye ball it on the center of the groove burned in. Just a scale thing on the block one way or the other.

Thank you so much .You saved me a lot of money.:-) Also the idea with using solder iron instead buying expensive heat tools. Just great.

Good idea. Well done.

Very nice, well done. The wrecked red car is a nice touch too.

Nice job mike

Looks great!!

Wow! I've been looking for something like this, thanks for the great video. How durable is it?

Thanks for sharing. I need to make A LOT of retaining walls. This is very cost effective.

Wow, what great idea's you come up with. Looks fabulous.

Working water wheel is pretty cool. As is tunnel scene at 4:15. Depot at 4:50. Ya gotta love a lighted layout at night.

Awesome! Keep it up!

Thanks, It's real refreshing to see a truly helpful how to video, among all the junk out there.

This has been very helpful. Thank you for your expertise and advice.

Would you be able to build a mountain 3-4 ft high using this method?

love the layout. Seems like I'm always under construction too. I have a very small backyard layout in California. Can I ask what you used for your asphalt/roadway pieces? Looking forward to seeing more.

We're is this layout located. Would like to visit

how bad did you flood Mike

I moved my outside layout indoors in a 15000' steel building, and found this technique to be simply fantastic. THANK YOU FOR AND EXCELLENT HOW TO VIDEO.

This is a great idea! Certainly easier than pouring them out with concrete or carving them out of wood. I can see quite a few uses for this on my own layout. One question: After you rough up the foam with the wire brush, what grain of sandpaper do you normally use? I imagine fairly course.

so i should be able to scale it down to 00 scale its a brilliant idea and so realistic and above all quick thank you for this great video I am in the process of building a garden railway so this will be great as foam board is resistant to weather .oh yes I've subscribed to your great channel

Thank YouVery well explained

Great garden railroad you have there and some fantastic line side features. Hope to see more videos soon!

gettin pretty damn hot here in florida isnt it.

I have seen so many articles over my years of playing with trains that you would think I would know this by heart. No, wait! I learn from seeing far better then reading. Thank you for this. I see this dates back to 2013 but the info is timeless. My wife, in profile photo, knows how much work a layout is. She has helped. She does her "O" and me my big gear.

This is really well done! A nice alternative to buying the pre-set portals if you have scrap foam lying around. Though a smaller soldering iron may be considered if one wanted to do this in a smaller scale, like HO.

thank you for these videos. ..not only can you landscape trains, we nerds love it because you can also landscape Dungeons and Dragons game boards

your in FL somewhere, arent you.

Have to say nice job.

thats pretty good. i made a lineside hut using polyfoam insulation board ,drawing the bricks in with a blunt pencil and painted it with humbrol. its been outside for couple of years now and was very quick to make :-)

can this be exposed to water features or can be used under the water?
