Small layouts are great! I am currently building a Swiss narrow gauge line themed layout which just measures 3 by 5 ft. It´s just a simple oval and a spur leading to a cement silo (my prototype railroad does haul a lot of cement), not more! While the track plab isn´t thrilling at all, the setting is: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Anlage%202_zpsed2l4bk9.jpg" alt=" " /> Right now, I have installed the facia and continue shaping the scenery, using pink foam. Installation of the curved backdrop will be challenging, but I hope to have that covered by next week. <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/V106ZO6crEs" width="425" height="350"></iframe> It´s not only a compact layout, it is a compact project which I will be able to finish in a time span guaranteeing me not to lose my interest in it. I just can´t picture myself starting a layout which will take decades to complete! I also like "operating" this little layout. It´s DC only, but I have invested some money into a good throttle, offering me momentum simulation and a quite realistic brake feature. With that I can run a loco just like a real one! I am glad MR is taking up the challenge of presenting smaller, more doable layouts to the average modeler!
