Overall size is three foot by two foot by about two feet high to allow for a gorge and representation of the mountains. This is probably at the upper limit size-wise for a micro. Construction is a 6mm plywood box with a few bits of triangular soft wood to support the corners and track base. The layout was heavily influenced by the Charming Creek tramway in New Zealand despite the US setting. I have deliberately avoided taking things too seriously as it really is just a glorified trainset!
I'll post some general photos soon but in the meantime here are some more locos.
Plymouth no. 5 (repainted Minitrains) heads a westbound passenger, consisting of a single combine, out of Deliverance. This loco was the first diesel purchased and struggled with some of the gradients when hauling coal trains. The management decided they needed something more powerful and bought Plymouth no. 6 (Kato/Rushby's Resins chassis, F&C body) from a steelworks in Pennsylvania. While they were inspecting the Plymouth they spotted a little battery electric for sale which was ideally suited for switching at Deliverance. This became no. 7 (Kato/Rushby's Resins) seen here.
