HO Scale Train Layout
This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-built HO scale model railroad layout that has been built and refined over more than a decade. It began in 2014 as a family project in our basement and slowly grew into a detailed, scenic layout with mountains, tunnels, bridges, and multiple themed areas.- Approx. 7′ × 8′ rounded L-shape
- DC power (simple 12V system)
- Kept in a climate-controlled basement
- Built as a single, non-modular layout
- Must be moved as one piece
- Located in Asheville, NC
The mountain
The heart of the layout is a large, hand-carved mountain built from pink foam, carefully shaped and painted with realistic rock faces, topped with evergreen trees and just a hit of snow-capped peaks.We had no idea what we were doing when we started, but with lots of YouTube videos and plenty of trial-and-error we are quite proud of our gorgeous mountain.Two tunnels pass through this mountain. The bottom tunnel has constructed openings, the top tunnel has rock face openings.
The bridges
The layout includes three bridges, including a detailed trestle bridge, all crafted by hand. The bridges are one of the elements we are most proud of and consistently draw attention from visitors.
The pond
There is an idyllic pond near the farm area. The pond has been carved out with meticulous detail, painted to give the appearance of depth.We are including the supplies needed to finish this pond with a murky water pour.
The town
This is the area that needs the most work to finish building it out. We built a road, hand-crafted a series of storefronts, and added a locomotive repair shop.We had planned to add a few more buildings such as a gas station and a hotel, perhaps a small park with a play set and benches, and then fill the town with cars, people, and scenery.
Make me an offer
Years of work and thousands of dollars have been invested in this train layout. Yet at this point, we sadly need to let it go to a new home. So reach out, make me an offer!
