katoftw Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Clearly. Which is why I wanna know how they did it. Edited January 31, 2016 by katoftw Link to comment
tossedman Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Me too. Those buildings are awesome. Be good to make some half as nice. Link to comment
tossedman Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Did you notice the people in the buildings and on the balconies? Link to comment
kvp Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Absolutely beautiful! I can identify the scratchbuilding materials like the plastic roof tile panels decorated with styrene strips and the cut up and rearranged woodboards and i recognise a few tomytec accessories but i just couldn't piece together the components so stunningly, not to mention the scene composition. Great work! Ps: some of the low angle closeup street photos show the internal compositions of some of the buildings Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Those look insanely good.... Link to comment

Densha Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Railsquid, I moved your post over here to keep all inspirational layout stuff together. ;) 1 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Wow, looks like it takes up most of their apartment! Jeff Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Amazing.... The speed at which the video is filmed is perfect. Not too fast, and not too slow. Very smooth running too! I really like the large apartment at 01:58, amazingly big with lights.... Is this a store layout? 1 Link to comment
railsquid Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Too nice for a store layout; definitely in someone's private home (house, not apartment), which looks like quite a nice one. Someone with a lot of time and money, possibly. Link to comment
IST Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Wow, 4 minutes per round, impressive. And the layout also of course. :-) Link to comment
Das Steinkopf Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Too nice for a store layout; definitely in someone's private home (house, not apartment), which looks like quite a nice one. Someone with a lot of time and money, possibly. And most likely to be single or divorced, how many of us here who are married would have spouses that would allow us to take up most of a house to have a layout set up. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Maybe a second house for the layout, might solve a lot of problems! Jeff Link to comment
Ekiben Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Maybe a second house for the layout, might solve a lot of problems! Jeff Maybe there's a second house for the spouse! Great work. I especially like the platform detail and schoolyard sports. Link to comment
Mudkip Orange Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 On the curved platforms around 1:15 or so it sounds like the train is scraping the side. Need to get the loading gauge check car out there. But really, just a stupendous layout regards. Link to comment
railsquid Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 On the curved platforms around 1:15 or so it sounds like the train is scraping the side. A note in the description says it's the camera scraping the platform roof. Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Wonder how he made the platforms considering they're in a rather gentle curve, but they look like Kato/Tomix platforms ... Link to comment
kvp Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'm guessing that the bottom parts are custom made and the roofs are added with small bits removed from the ends to make them curve. It looks like on the videos, that while the platforms curve gently, the roofs are made out of more straight sections. The original edges can be reused too if you cut them off from the rest of the bracing and glue them to the board after bending, but then the top filler plates have to be replaced with painted styrene sheets. But since i can't find a daylight video of the station, this is just a guess. Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Yeah, it's really hard to tell from the video, but it does look really good. And considering I'm planning to have my main station in a curve as well, it'd be really interesting to see how he did it. Link to comment
bill937ca Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I searched for ssltdexpress and it doesn't come up this thread or the forum. I came across a layout tour video and whole slew of other videos the ssltdexpess You Tube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miK1kqYUGtA 1 Link to comment
katoftw Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Wow! that is really nicely done. A double track commuter line. And a branch/freight line. And a rural line with a country station up the top. The they all converge together at the lower/front big station/town/yards area. Edited April 22, 2016 by katoftw Link to comment
