Any how to videos ?

DIY network had a program called

"Workin on the railroad"

They did all the scales but the techniques are the same.

Can't give you and times or listings as it's not on in my area any more.

If you can find it, it worth a look...

 

 

Amazon has a pretty good DVD titled "Building an O Gauge Layout" for $14.  I think you will find it informative and well worth the money.

Thanks guys! Will have to order that one.

I found the summaries for seasons 1 and 2 of "Workin' on the Railroad", but the videos are not available.

Start with that and then go to Toytrainsontracks.com and purchase Rich Battista's Black Diamond Raillway DVDs.  He currently lists Parts 1 and 2 for $24.95.  While his layout is DCS (I exclusively run TMCC/Legacy), you will gain valuable information and learn, step-by-step, his effective techniques of creating realistic scenery (grass, trees,rocks, mountains), ballasting, weathering, wiring, planning, and layout construction and expansion.  PLUS.....you get to watch plenty of train action on his SPECTACULAR layout.  These are FANTASTIC, well-done videos and you will not be disappointed.

Give YouTube a look, they have a lot of train layout videos. Frank

Have you tried http://www.ericstrains.com/ ?  Some How-to's.

Yes I have Seen eric's youtube videos. Outstanding reviews and layout. Also have seen other good layouts on youtube as well. Forgot about riches dvd, thanks for pointing that one out!

I second the nomination on Rich Battista's Black Diamond Raillway videos.  They are top notch!

 

The TM video mentioned by Rixster is also pretty good, but is a little more basic.
