One Layout for Two Different Scales
Posted by Mixy on Saturday, December 17, 2016 6:39 AM

See one interesting idea: single track route for using with rolling stock in two scales - standard gauge N (1/160) and narrow gauge HOn30 (1/87).

Small Folding Layout For Use in Both HOn30 and N scales



The track plan is designed as single line in “double 8” figure with one small station in front and train stop at the back. The layout is planned to allow exchanging of the buildings, signals and some other parts depending on the current rolling stock scale – N (1/160) or narrow gauge H0n30 (1/87). The guy who builds this layout has prepared different stations and surrounding buildings (some scratchbuilt), different types of signals (color light signals in N are fully scratchbuilt) and different locos and coaches. Only the tracks and the grass will be the same in both scales. Hope you will like that concept :)
