[quote user="kbkchooch"]Ulrich With what you can fit into those micro layouts, I shudder to think what you could pull off in a full basement! Wink[/quote] Karl - a basement filling layout is much more difficult to plan than a micro layout. These small layouts force you to concentrate on one scene, but big layouts need a plausible arrangement of scenes (or LDE´s = Layout Design Elements). Here are a few examples of what I did in the past: 1. A layout idea for Cudaken <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/KensLayout4klein.jpg" alt=" " /> One of my "early designs" with a lot of elements "borrowed" fromn Pelle Soeborg 2. A layout idea for Robby P. <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/RobbyacutesLayoutI_zps353f17d8.jpg" alt=" " /> 3. A small narrow gauge Swiss style layout for a friend of mine in Switzerland (he is actually building this one) <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/RhBBerninaHospiz-1.jpg" alt=" " /> 4. An idea I developed for myself (lack of money prevented this one from being built) <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/RHBOSPIZIOBERNINAMODULALT3b.jpg" alt=" " /> ... and a last one for my MRR pal here in Germany <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/LotharsInselbahnIIklein.jpg" alt=" " /> The most difficult layout type to design, IMHO" ist that classic 4 by 8, or any table type layout. It´s not the track arrangement, it´s to come up with a real looking scenery, which makes it difficult to design, especially when you plan on having a mult-level layout. This is one I did, just for fun: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/EntwurfD.jpg" alt=" " />
