Building Your First Model Railroad, MRROne Project Railroad Part 1: Design and Benchwork

Welcome back everybody! Be sure to subscribe! Today we are starting something that I have wanted to do for the 2 ½ years I have been running this channel. We are doing our first project railroad! This is MRROne. The concept for this model railroad is a build that everyone can do with as few tools as possible and most people have the space for this layout. One of the biggest if not THE biggest problems of model railroading is space. With MRROne I aim to eliminate that issue. I hope you guys enjoy this as I am enjoying building this!

“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don’t be happy when they stumble.
For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.
Don’t fret because of evildoers;
don’t envy the wicked.”

Proverbs 24: 16-19 NLT
