I have only very little space available for a layout - in fact, not more than 3 by 5ft. for an HO scale narrow gauge layout. Naturally, one can´t expect a lot of operation on a layout that small. Basically, it´s just on oval of track with a stub-end siding. End of last year, I finished laying the track and the basic wiring was done, so I could run a train over the layout. <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1100276_zps6xzhmpmd.jpg" alt=" " /> Nothing thrilling at all! The begiining of this year saw the start on scenery, which, at the end of January, looked like this: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1100350_zpsdldgpimk.jpg" alt=" " /> Still not at all thrilling, the lack of scenery really made this layout into a dull thing anyone would lose interest in after a couple of minutes. Fast forward - in those 6 months since the above picture, the layout has undergone quite a transformation! <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030328_zpsrtp35zee.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030320_zpsw4woosjs.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030317_zpsmrikruap.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030330_zpsdfcnhult.jpg" alt=" " /> It´s still the same old, rather boring "operation" but I do enjoy watching the train run through the scenery, making the layout a lttle more "thrilling" The layout is far from being complete - a lot of details are still to be added, the biggest addition being the catenary. I really enjoy this layout, despite its limitations in terms of operation. Scenery, at least to me, is equally important than operation, which by itself, would not sustain my interest much more without anything "nice" to look at.
