Have one narrow gauge system so why not have two.

blog-0167372001446903020.jpgSo what do you do with a 1ft 10' by 5 ft baseboard thats already filled with a curve of double track that has to get across the doorway.

 

Simple! Build a big 3 storey factory with a chimney, have narrow gauge running into it from an siding and then jazz it up by having a 2nd 009 layout over the top of the 1st one and across the standard gauge - follow that up with a small loop for continuous 009 running. Have a cut out section in the middle of the narrow gauge loop with a small building in it as well to add some height contrast.

 

As this is in the corner and a bit difficult to get to I have adopted the policy (apart for wiring) of starting at the back and working my way forward. Scenic section on the back is getting but needs some leaf scatter and fencing.

 

Current plan is to have a gantry section with a working moveable modified crane kit between the two systems - constructed out of plastruct girders. But can't build that until the back section is done as it will get in the way.

 

Also spent rainy morning today replacing baseboard 3 on the other side of the room by using a modified pasting table that I got for a tenner. Its gone in well which was a bit of a fluke and only required levelling.

 

Edit - Apologies I had a compression issue with the gallery. Reuploading.
