Description: This is my very first instructional video on building my model train layout. I know it is not perfect, I have things running out of the shot, and some other issues, but this was done with a Canon Digital still cam that takes videos. If I get a good response, I am going to do more details on how I build my layout. I learned a lot in this first video, and how to make the rest much better, plus I am shopping for a good digital camera to make them oh so sweet! This video is about how to prepare and wire your model train layout above the main board. A lot of people wire their layout below the main board, and they crawl under it, but I cannot since I am in a wheelchair. So I have wired this on the table, but it will be all below the landscape. All of the wires will feed back to a main panel, so I can make changes or additions on the fly, from a simple panel. I will be putting wires all throughout the layout, for stuff I have, and for future use, that way, I can pull out wires when I need them for new cool stuff. This layout is going to have automated crossing gates, a wig wag signal, and oh, so much more. Follow me in my journey while I build this cool layout with lots of bells and whistles, literally!!

Description: This clip is of the 15′ x 10′ HO Scale Donner Summit layout that I’m building for a valued customer in California. This is the first train to run around the layout since I completed the top deck (visible portion) track. The hidden staging and staging ramp trackwork were done first. Hope you enjoy the video. More of this layout’s construction from the beginning and my other projects – both in the works and completed can be seen on my website at www.thesolutionfarm.com. Thanks for looking! Mark
