4x8 layout on custom built table for garage..

That's really nice. I like the shelf for the transformers & remotes. You even added a spot for storing an engine.

Dougie, this is great.  I love it.  I love the rocks as ground cover.  I need to get off my butt and do this now! 

that is really nice.

do you have a track plan?

could you make a track plan?

Nice!

Doug

Excellent! I really like the looks of your layout. To me, this is classic model trains at their best.  

Great post and a great layout.  You did a fantastic job.  

Awesome job, you packed in lots of action!

I like it.

Really nice small layout man!!!👌

That's a great example of O-Gauge in a small space!!

Well done and shows what can be done in small spaces.

A beautiful layout. Nicely done! Truly an example of what one can do with O gauge in a small space.

That’s a Fresh Design!

The Lionel magic has struck again.

Beautiful job, well done. Easiy rxpandable too.

l  I bet somewhere you put a trailer hitch on it so the pickup can tow it around to events.  Nice of you to leave room for your parents car/ truck.🤗

"Mr Douglas"  garage is very popular with all the kids in the neighborhood.  From r\c planes to r\c trucks. Motorcycles and Kayaks.  It is santa's toy shop..LOL... My post picture is when I was 11 years old. I just turned 66

Nice result! Dougie, You have good eye!

I have enjoyed your Christmas layouts, this has the creativity of those.

Thanks for posting.

Very nice work. Cool garage full of toys too!

Nicely done, Doug. It would be great if you'd share the track plan with us. Thanks in advance

Extremely cool layout!  You took a small space and made something big.

very creative!  and very well done.  Well thought-out for sure.

Very cool looking layout sure the larger layouts look great but the smaller layouts have a charm all their own well done.

So I finished my layout today that I have in my garage.  I built the table and have rollers on the legs so I can wheel it around in the garage.  All the power on a bust and powered by a 35watt trans.  All the working acc. have push buttons to make work next to the 80 watt trans.  I run mostly LC+ but I keep the trans so I could run my conventional engines.  I have lights every where on it and look really cute with the door down or at night.    Dougie

Nice small layout! Great work. I have a 4x8 myself, so I love to see and really appreciate seeing with others have done in a small space.

Ok..I am not Moonman with all the computer knowledge to do this.  I can't draw, so I printed the pictures and wrote on each the turns and switches...so here ya go

Is that a B27 target hanging in the garage?  Great layout by the way.

that is a great start.   can we get the number of curves and straights.

the reason I am asking is I give away a train set two times a year at our train all day meet and people are always asking how to build a 4 X 8 layout.

this is perfect.

I can get you more detailed pictures if you'd like.  The inside is O31 and 4 on each side with the switches being O36.  The outside is  track is 4 O36 curves with a 5" and a 2" in the middle.

Impressive work. You did a great job packing a lot of interesting things into that space with a nice looking track plan. There is a ton of fun stuff to grab the viewers’ attention. 

great job!

Terrific layout, nice detailing and a great track plan for a 4X8 table.  Shows a lot of forethought went into it.  Thanks for sharing, looking forward to seeing the track plan.

Worthy of a place in Lionel's list of best display layouts! WOW! Very well done, and quite inspiring.
