RED ONE Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 My wife comes from Facit and I have been promising her a layout based on Facit Station and the stone sidings complete with the incline for some years. Has any one got a plan showing the track layout in reasonable detail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
