Your little layouts are great. I get a big thrill (and lots of good tips) every time I see one of them.

I rather like the shelf of buildings, might add a backdrop behind them. Wonderful demonstration of what a person can do in a small space.

Thank you Ian,I wanted to keep it contained in the tray but like most of the layouts i build they get a little bit bigger than i had planned, But i quite like the shelf to and as you say if i can get the right backdrop it hopefully will all come together , Thanks again for your kind comments ,All the best

As a younger person I disliked anything but larger layouts, however with age I know appreciate these smaller scale layouts even more than anything but the ultra realistic larger scale ones.

Hi Adrian, many years ago I started a large layout, I wanted to see full length trains running through the country side, I sort of made a good start but ran out of time-money and probably motivation , I didn't build another layout for quite a few years, when I started again I promised myself I would finish what I started, over a hundred layouts later I love our hobby and have been lucky to have outlets for what I build, all the best to you and happy modelling

Nice work. That looks great. If space is a problem, build a small layout. The old Tri-ang TT has a 10" first radius curve. I'm building an 1800x600 (6'x2') Tri-ang TT layout that would fit under any bed. As you say, there are things you can do if space is a problem. Happy Modelling Mon

Very good. Lots of great detail. You can use coin sized earth magnets to hold on the photo backdrop so, it is removable. Put a second one on the other side and you can swap the backdrops when the mood strikes.
