Very small and basic just 3 points. At the moment I have drawn it to 10ft 6 ins long, each faint square is 6 inches, I may be able to stretch it by another 6ins to a foot. If its 6ins that would be on the fiddleyard board, if a foot 6 inches on the fiddleyard and 6 inches on board 2. Hi, Been following your progress with interest. As someone starting out in O gauge with a similar space - did you manage to stay within your original plan, or did you go a bit bigger (by 6" to a 1')? regards james Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
