johna Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Inspired by numerous micro layouts on RMweb over the years I have decided to have a go myself at a small tuning layout using the wonderful 0-4-0's that are available today. I intend to reuse items that I have gathered up over years so tonight I have built the baseboard using wood from another layout. I have also been able to get the track down and wired. Probably won't get anything else done until next weekend. Johna 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johna Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 I have a few card kits collected and not used over the years so will see what will fit into the available space. Will either be an industrial or a small station scene inspired by "Winter's End" You can't squeeze a lot into 30" x9" 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

south_tyne Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Excellent start Johna. These kind of projects are great - low cost, compact, manageable and achievable - and are also a way of practising skills and techniques. I will be following your progress with interest!

johna Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Just a quick update. Layout has changed a wee bit in the last few weeks. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another classic micro-layout track plan: I'm not sure this 2-point arrangement has ever been given a name, but it's popular and layouts using it seem to last - the key thing is wiring the kickback siding if you want to use it. Looks like a great start, Keith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
