I am currently working on the folowing a 2'x4' (well 4.5' actually)

I got the plan printed out on the plotter at work on a 1 to 1 ratio and laid it out on the foam, traced the lines and I am now going to glue down the cork tonight. thats 12" or less radi turns there, and it all works well, my 0-4-0 will run it well, i even have an 0-6-0 that will navigate it once i extend the drawbar by 2mm. I am going to take some pics of the building process as i go, this is my answer to "i have no space" also it will be my test bed for building processes.
