Regards Paul. Those lights in city goods are oozing with atmosphere. That American southern tank loco suits both layouts very nicely. Would it be possible to build an in between layout that could join city goods and rural goods because you seem to use the same stock on both layouts apart from the railbus.

That is something I’m thinking about. And because I extended Rural Goods, I do have a spare really useful storage box just waiting for a new micro. Was pondering a small rural station. Maybe.

cklammer Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hello Paul, maybe some sort of intermediate transitional segment to connect Rural Goods to City Goods and run them point-to-point? Thus three micro layouts doth one small make ... Best Regards, Christian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be fun to run the two layouts point to point. More pondering. Meanwhile here’s some more photos. Regards Paul.

Marly51 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) I'm planning a layout based on a real location just now, Paul, which is turning out to be larger than I would like. Your micro layouts are very tempting...I like the idea of linking a few scenarios within a limited space. Enjoying this thread very much. Thank you.

RMweb Gold Howl03 Posted February 28, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28, 2018 Really nice. All these small locos really suit the layout. Thank you Luke. I do have a bit of an addiction to small locos, steam and diesel. I'm planning a layout based on a real location just now, Paul, which is turning out to be larger than I would like. Your micro layouts are very tempting...I like the idea of linking a few scenarios within a limited space. Enjoying this thread very much. Thank you. Thank you Marly51. When I first got into model Railways about 10 years ago my plan was to build one large layout. But after the birth of my two children space in the house for a large layout was a no no. So I started building micro layouts. I’ve built quite a few over the years. The first few were pretty hopeless but I’ve probably learned far more from building micro layouts than I would have from building one large one. I also tend to keep the location and time frame of my layouts quite vague, that way I can swap stock and figures around. Saying that though I do admire some of the larger layouts on here that stick to a particular location and time frame. Regards Paul. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasG Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hi Paul! Excellent work! I really like the pictures and videos of your two micro layouts. "Rural Goods" has a very beautiful atmosphere. I usually like hand-painted backscenes, but this one fits perfectly! Everything is very coherent. It was a good decision to put the whole thing in a showcase. Regards, Thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johna Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 What a brilliant layout. What is the overall size of the layout now Paul. I did start to build a layout like City Goods but soon got board just shutting using one point but this layout seems to give some scope for a lot more action. Cheers and well done Johna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
