Take a look at this fantastic N scale model train layout! This one boasts plenty of nature scenery as well as detailed scenes of the city. There are many human figurines, model cars, unique and vibrantly painted buildings, and more.
Throughout this gallery, you can find contrasting sceneries of bustling sidewalks and peaceful clearings where some sheep graze. The background scenery – which consists of large fields with trees and mountains in the distance – oftentimes becomes extremely realistic.
People Waiting on the Train Platform
On this platform, people are patiently waiting for the train to arrive. Small scenes like this can bring a model train to life. Notice how each human figurine has their own unique pose and look, so that this photo alone can tell a story.
Sheep Grazing on Grass by the Tracks
Far away from the town of the model railroad, there are a couple of sheep who graze on the grass beside the woods. Notice the amount of detail that was put into the placement and color of the grass and trees.
Crane by the Model Train Platform
This is a different part of the platform that we saw earlier. There are different people waiting for the train now, and on this side we find out that there is a crane being used just behind the wooden fence.
Man Standing Next to Interlocking Tower
The model layout becomes very realistic with the inclusion of lineside structures like this interlocking tower. Next to it are a couple of shanties. A man stands in front of the tower’s door, right beside the tracks.
Farm by the Train Tracks
Here’s a red farm that’s located right beside the train tracks. Behind the fence, the owner attends to his sheep dogs. Behind the farm is a background of vast fields.
A Clearing by the Train Tracks
Sheep are fenced in on the side of the clearing. From this view, you can immediately notice how detailed and varied the trees are. At the bottom of the picture, you can see a garage and a water tank with a bit of rust to make them look realistic.
Storefronts and Vehicles on the Model Railroad
Now we are in the city. The store fronts are painted so vibrantly and realistically that they become eye-catching. There are also a variety of vehicles here such as the red double decker bus, the truck on the left, the jeep, and more. From this angle, the background scenery adds depth to the layout.
Details of the Garage
Here’s the garage we saw earlier with the water tank on the side. Take a good look at the shed on the side and notice how it was painted in such a way to show its old age. In front of this structure are two men in conversation, adding a touch of realism and energy to this section of the layout.
Sidewalk Scenery of the Model Railroad
Check out the scenery on this sidewalk. From this view, we can see details like the store names and the texture of the pavement and the road. People walk past street lamps, store fronts, and various vehicles either parked on the side or driving along.
Man Standing by the Tracks
Here is a different angle of the interlocking tower we saw earlier. There is the man standing in front of the shed, looking down the tracks, waiting for the train. Meanwhile, in the distance, we can spot the farmer with his sheep dog walking along behind the wooden fence.
People Walking Along a Path
Here is an idyllic scene on this model train layout. Two people walk along a train leading into the woods with a couple of sheep running around. Although this scene has nothing to do with the railroad itself, it helps to have scenes like this so the layout does not feel plain and repetitive.
Entrance of a Garage
The entrance of the garage is open and ready to accept an incoming model train. On the side is a shed and a rusty crane. Outside the fence of the garage is the platform. Some people sit on the bench, while others just walk by.
Cows by the Model Train Tracks
By the side of the train tracks, cows are fenced in, waiting for transport. Outside the fences for the cows, a couple of people stand and watch over them. This is the same section that we saw earlier, only just from a different angle.
Realistic Grass Beside the Train Tracks
This photo shows that this model layout has an abundance of realistic scenery. From this angle, the background makes this section seem so real with its depth. If you look closely, you can also see how realistic the ballast and the grass are.
Garden by the Train Tracks
Take a look at the other side of the fenced-in cows we saw earlier. There’s a tiny garden with a man working with a shovel. There are a few rows of plants as well as a shed on the side.
Background Scenery of the Model Layout
The background scenery really adds atmosphere to this photo. Along with the lighting, it makes it look like the sun is just about to sink completely. Adding to the beauty of this picture are the splashes of red flowers on the grass.
Green Truck Beside the Background Scenery
A truck drives down a narrow road beside the woods and the houses. You can see here how the background scenery was added to the model layout. While it looks fake now, it’s incredible how it managed to look real in some of the photos we saw earlier.
