Who wants small layouts? Here ya go!

I have just whipped up a set of smaller layouts for thsoe who have no space:

These use MTH Realtrax. You can substiture regular O, if you wish.

BTW - Fastrack has a 36' curve diamater that is measured from the center of thje track. It cannot fit a 36" board, and so is unfeasible for mini layouts.

By the way, I jave worked up a set of 3' by 5' for regular O-31 track. A few more will be done before I preapre them for the Web. Figure they might be posted late tonight or early tomorrow.

Hey, just wanted to say thank you. Those layouts are really awesome.

Thor,

Very nice work. Very kind of you to share it with the forum.

Regards,

They look good. What can you do with 40 x 42 inches?

[thor CNJ]

Not impossible. 40 by 42 inches is tight, but can be done. You want O27, O31 tubular or MTH RealTrax?

[mcattardo]

It was more of a joke. That measurement is wall to wall in a closet. With the sloping ceiling it's useable space is actually a bit less than 40" deep. I've settled on a loop with 5" straights. I did manage a 1 car siding using the curved part of a switch for the main.
If you still wanna give it a go, 031 tubular.
Thanks

[thor CNJ]

No problem - I was ableto cook up 5 plans for O tubular, 5 for O27 and 6 for Realtrax. I will post them tomorrow afternoon or early evening, along with more 3' by 5' layouts.

[mcattardo]

Cool, can't wait to see them.

[thor CNJ]

Here they are:

We have them for O, O27 and RealTrax. This is just the start. I am currently doing a set for Atlas O and will see if anything this size is worth doing with Fastrack.

[barclaysierra]

Great imagination! These are awsome given the space restrictions. Do you also design the boxes they pack train sets in?

[mcattardo]

Wow, I'm speechless. I might have to do some experimenting tomorow if i have time.
One thing I'm not sure of is the over hanging loco might hit the wall.
Thank you

I'm sure you can adapt one of these pikes to mitiage the overhaning locomotive

I just added the Atlkas O mini Pikes - http://www.thortrains.net/marx/microatla.html

Coming later - 3' by 5' for O -31

[jabrown1971]

I like all those plans. Proves yet again that a large layout is not always the best layout

[thor CNJ]

The 3' by 5' plans for O31 were uploaded Yo ucan get to all the 3' by 5' plans from here
