Marc's 16x22 O gauge Layout

[@espeeboy]

Amazingly clean benchwork! Can’t wait to see it with rails laid and later sceniced (assuming owner lets you back to document it further on down the timeline!) . Care to share a future video tutorial on building the display case? I’m needing to build some form myself for both my large HO collection and my slowly expanding O scale collection.

[@MRBenchwork]

I got to see it with some rail on it a week or two ago. It’s coming along nicely but it wasn’t enough for an update video yet. The display case - it’s essentially just 1x4’s nailed together with a backer. I’ll try to remember to make a video on it the next time I make one however.

Wonderful layout, very interesting! It seems larger than 12’ wide.

Great use of space! What is a steepest grade?

[@MRBenchwork]

I actually don't know what the max grade is (off the top of my head) but it's less than some of the projects I've built and the trains run smoothly.

[@bobgolfs4432]

Is that one long main line? Im sure they can run several trains, but just curious.

[@MRBenchwork]

3 actually.

Awesome

[@Mikestrains64]

Just wondering if you have any updates on this layout and do you have a plan you can share with me?

[@MRBenchwork]

Updates, nothing Sharable yet, but I have been promised one. Probably in November. The track is however laid and the owner is running trains while building scenery. I’m also currently in the process of drawing another plan based on this one. It’s about the same size but a more simple track arrangement on what was the mountain side. I do sell existing track plans. Please email me to inquire.

Whats something like that cost?

[@MRBenchwork]
