"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

But I just had'ta show it off. Sorry.

 

I just finished the table for an N scale layout I have wanted to build. It is 2X4 inside and made of solid Ash and Black Walnut in a kinda sorta shaker style. The legs drop off and make it entirely portable.

 

Hmmm, I could get an O something in there lol.

Ahhh, tis not at all what it seems... sometimes a box is not a box. You will have to wait and see... LOL

You could easily get some On30 in there, with shorty cars and the short locos. Something along these lines:

 

 

Lee, although I want to do an On30 layout soon, now is not the time. This little N scale build is for the wife 'kinda'. She and Santa got me a Bachmann N scale McKinley Explorer for Christmas last year and she wants to see it built... She did decree that if it is visible, it is furniture. I made furniture...

 

P.S. Love that On30 layout. Thanks for the pic.

I guess you have to view it from above.  Thick because portable and cover has to go over over/under layout and structures/trees plus wiring underneath.

 Nope, LOL! 

 

Kinda fun watching this play out...

 

Track will be here in a few days and then you will get the idea.
