I'm building a movable shelf style layout thats 8ft by 14in. Its HO scale industrial switching and based on some obscure point on Puget Sound so i'm putting in a few large buildings as well as a small boat building place. Its not really modelled on a port but rather an industrial area set near the water. Its set in the late 80's to early 90's meant to represent part of a small shortline that is probably on its last legs. Power will be some battered old Geeps clearly showing signs of neglect along with the right of way that shows every indication of being abandoned in the not too distant future. <br /> <br />I guess that theme sounds kinda depressing for rail fans but i think rustic locomotives and tracks buried in weeds add a little bit of character and give my modelling skills a bit of a work out. Also i take the train to work into the city most days and along the way there are a few places featuring abandoned tracks and old industrial buildings that have long since ceased producing rail traffic. I guess some people are inspired by what they see. All track and turnouts are handlaid code 55 and 75.
