The Build-Along Model Railway continues as we start to improve the layout!

If you're a beginner in the world of model railways, wiring your layout can seem quite daunting. Thankfully in this video I'll outline a really simple way we can get everything powered and you won't need to do any soldering.

Beyond that we'll also build one of the impressive laser cut factory kits for the back of the layout and I'll demonstrate a simple painting technique to make the stone work really stand out.

Finally we'll take a look at weathering and ballasting to give our track a realistic finish. Again if this is something that concerns you I demonstrate a simple process that you can follow along with at home, step by step.
