What a convoluted layout

[dragenrider]

Check out this unusual HO scale layout for sale on eBay. You have to look at all the pictures to get the idea of the unusual build. Pretty neat! [:D]

[^]Convoluted? Maybe. Crowded--YOU BET! Kinda reminds me of everything I wanted to put in before some railroading friends of mine told me to PLEASE PUT ON THE BRAKES!!

Wow, back when I was a kid, I would have liked the train going over and around my bed.

You think with all that track , they would have run that train around the wall.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

Notice, too, that you have to pick it up -- no delivery available. And the first bid is only $9.99. This appears to possibly be a layout from an Atlas layout book where the idea was to use as much track as possible and have only minimal scenery.

I believe the auction is truly for the rolling stock, locos, structures, and hardware. You can take what you want of the layout. I'm sure he will chuck whatever isn't taken.

That's pretty cool, in a sphaghetti-kinda way. I'll bet he had a good time building that puppy over the years.

And the track around the bed is great idea. Hook up the layout to a timer , have a sound equipped engine come by your head in the morning, horn at full volume, and you have quite the alarm clock![(-D]

I know what happened.

"Either that train goes or I do. And I'm keeping the house."

"Either that train goes or I do! And I'm keeping the house!"

"Look, honey!...the trains GOIN'! Sure makes a difference when you clean the tracks! Now you won't have to leave after all!..."

its quite the layout it seems, but I wouldnt do a layout so far fetched like that
One fellow decided to get rid of all his stuff, cheap starting bid, but the bids grew, I think he got his money's worth, and he had some really good equipment.
no, no layout.

I generally want a layout with purpose, not just run it anywhere.
