Model Railroader 2026 Calendar
Don't miss Model Railroader’s all-new 2026 calendar, featuring Rod Stewart's spectacular layout!
This is a wonderful series of instructional videos – my only comment is hat it would be helpful if they were numbered sequentially from beginning to end.
Silly me, I bought 3 pieces of cork roadbed for my diorama project and it had square edges. Thanks David for setting me straight on how to get a beveled edge … tear them apart! Now, I can move ahead with track laying and ballasting.
What is the best way to mark your track centerline? When you layout your track for the first time I can see how you can mark out your layout by tracing down the sides at the end of the ties. How do you get a continuous centerline marked?
This was another great video with extremely useful information – such as using the sheet cork..
Thx
Great video. Is there anyway to download to my HD for later viewing??
Can't find a video on the Thin Branch subroad bed installation. Is there one? Thanks
Hello Stephen,
Comments can take a bit to appear in the pages below, even after I've approved them due to the refresh cycle of the pages on the site. The recent comments box works a bit differently, so once in a while the comments will appear there first before they make it to the box below.
Thanks for watching, and enjoy the site!
David
MRV staff comments are showing in in the recent comments but not with each video. I guess this is a bug, but…… They will soon scroll off and be lost forever. I can see both of David's comments in recent comments, but nowhere else
Don't worry, you haven't seen it all. We have more videos coming every week to MR Video Plus!
As for the Thin Branch series, unlike the Virginian or the Winter Hill project, we built and filmed the Thin Branch to stock our How To Library with fresh materail. Each week you'll get a new installment of the Thin Branch project. This Thursday we'll release part 3 of the benchwork series, adding plywood subroadbed.
Enjoy the videos!

Producer, MR Video Plus
What I have seen is great, but it has no order to the videos. are these all of them or is there more to come? If this is a project layout I would expect a part 1 part 2 and so on. This is all over the place with gaps and hard to follow.
