I realise that for most modellers, size is everything however for an element within our community size only matters because we lack space. The new project is ideal for folk who aspire to O Scale but live in an apartment, condo, etc but more importantly it really works.
It is eminently do-able. My special thanks to Carl Carendt's website. Hopefully everything will fit in the hatchback, especially as the the single board is only 1200mm long by 600mm with no awkward joints.
Just 1,2m long and effectively four wye turnouts, the plan uses the many of the buildings that are used on Pottendorf. The rolling stock has to be small, again, this suits my rolling stock of small Oe locos and wagons. The clever design makes use of some buildings (from Stangel) that I have already built for Pottendorf.
The backscenes will form a protective 'box' for the scenic boards whilst the expensive fiddle yard is replaced by cassettes. A clip-on modesty board across the front of the storage sidings will allow some privacy at shows. Separate cool LED-strip lighting will be independent of the main boards.
Anyone still interested?
