See more of my layout at: *youtube.com * * * COMMENT & RATE IF YOU WISH !!!* * * OK, I`m about to "break protocol" here, and blow the "complex science" of model railroading into the fun, simple, easy to understand way in which it really is! FIRST: I would like to say I recommend you NOT buy MTH Trains, their equipment is good, BUT their service is terrible! *More about this later … Lets look at what a little fish gravel and a pile of old curbside ceiling tile…( Which later would become scenery)… some plaster, coupled with a little imagination will do. …* Here’s a clip of Tom and Scott`s layout… These are "O" Scale trains, Anyway, it took 40+ years to amass all this "stuff", for this 30 x 45` layout… Tom loves to lash up 4 or 5 engines and will pull trains way in excess of 100 scale cars long (that’s 17+ inches of coupler slack, and trains in excess of 170-200 feet long!) *Note he made the walls round (no corners) to conform to its outer 0192 degree radius.

Description: Just in photos, this is my upcoming N Scale train layout. It is moving very quickly as I prepare to start making the mountains, hillsides, tunnels and city streets. EVERYTHING you see in downtown will be light up like a Christmas tree, and some of the buildings will have marque moving light display. Should look great when done. I will keep you posted on updates as the next step is being started.
