​Hello everyone, If you know me on Facebook then you probably know that I have been planning this layout for a couple of years!

 

Red Rock will be a 2ft by ? layout set on Mars 131 years in the future. The layout will be a mining colony controlled by the E.A.F (Earth Alliance Force), The Mining community or known as the W.O.M (Workers Of Mars) are at there limit and near breaking point, Mining for a special type of Rock known as POLLENTIA which is Latin for Power Pollentia is highly valuable and can only be found on Mars.

 

There will be more to the back story soon.

 

The layout will be 100% Scratch Built which means I will be designing my own Locomotives, Wagons, Buildings and even the Track!

 

I have had a lot of interest in this Project and I'm hoping to start it very soon.

 

If you have any Questions I will be happy to answer as best as I can.

That sounds really interesting, I look forward to seeing it progress. :)

 

I remember a few years back Games Workshop built a Warhammer 40K table that had a futuristic railway on it including an amazing scratch built train. Also, there are some very nice futuristic looking trains in the PC game Starcraft II.

 

Edit: Found some pictures if you are interested.

As to gauge, had you considered the futuristic 7 feet 0¼ inches gauge? Atmospheric propulsion? 

Will be watching this one from Earth

Looking at a load of different gauges at the moment, as for the atmosphere which alot of people have asked about on facebook, A Terraformer creates a atmosphere like earth's, NASA want to put one on the Moon by 2025.

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the photos, I like the look of that, still looking at how to build the locos and wagons.
