Good Afternoon! No HD list this morning, so I used the time to draw up a track plan for Jim (up831). It´s a small 2 by 4 N scale layout - just something to play with. As requested, it sports a grain elevator, a lumber yard and a warehouse, all serviced by rail. I used a scenic divider to disguise the sharp curves a little and two allow for two different sets of scenery. The scenic divider also helps to get rid of the smallish look of such a tiny layout, at least when you build it at close to eye level. The layout depicts a shortline, somewhere west of Chicago. I took the liberty to pick the location, as up831 did not mention any setting. Well, enough words - here is the layout: Ta da! <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/up831_zpsef991ce1.jpg" alt=" " /> A 2 by 4 is not a lot of real estate - even in N scale! Mind you, it is much less than a 4 by 8 in HO scale! So don´t expect miracles. With that size, you´ll have to live with tight curves (min. radius is 9 3/4" ) and #4 switches, limiting you to 4-axle Diesels and 40´ cars. Heck, if I hadn´t gone into modeling German prototype, I´d go for this one! Lots of action for such a tiny layout! Hope you like it, Jim! We have some leftover "Königskuchen" Petra made the other day - help yourself and enjoy! <img src="http://www.marions-kochbuch.de/rezept/3076.jpg" alt=" " />
