Guide to building a layout from start to finish

Follow along as I take you through all the steps necessary to build a modular model train layout from beginning to end. You will be able to follow along as I step you through my method for constructing and operating an enjoyable model railroad, you can build with me or just watch the progress over the next 12 months.
Part 1 begins with planning and as I progress through the build process I will post part 2 and so on. Part 1.1 has just been published and details the specific steps taken to build each module.

PART 2 - Laying Track (Coming Soon)

I know it's been nearly 2 years but rest assured there will be an update to this area soon 

Future plans:

In the upcoming months I'll be working on a new eBook about getting the most from static grass.
It's only a short 30 page eBook but it will be packed full of tips on using a static grass applicator to get the most out of you scenery!
Once complete this book will be available to purchase or if you become a patron it will be available to read depending on your level of support.
In the mean time, if you want to learn how to build your own static grass applicator and make home made static grass tufts you can check out the tutorial here:

Automation Setup

Iron's “Automation” feature allows you to easily change the video background of the “Iron” page layout and the 3 text elements that lay on top of the video background.

Video Background URL
To change the video background on the "Iron" page layout, add the URL of a video to the input box below. You can use the URL of a video hosted on another server, or upload a video to your Weebly site by going to “Theme>Edit HTML/CSS>ASSETS>Videos”, click the gear icon, and then select “Upload File(s)...” to upload a video from your hard drive (e.g., /files/theme/videos/paint.mp4). The video format must end with “.mp4” and make sure to set the Theme Option "Video" to "Custom" to use your own video.
Video Background Text Input
To change the text that appears on top of the video background, add your text to the input boxes below.

Note: You can hide this box under "Theme>Theme Options>Automation [Editor Only]".
