HO in 4x2 - - - I got into this when I met the local modular group at a train show.
The beauty of 4X2, is, you can spend the time to put a lot of detail into "that space" and have it look good !, and take it to display at local shows. The drawback, you can only run long trains when it is a part of a group ( modular) layout.
I decided to start with a three module set. The required two track main line, and little else, at the first show. Scenery by the time of the second show, and on from there. I had the opportunity to take this picture, at a "Mall Show", from the second level walkway.
The upper level was for Narrow Gauge, and when the only other member who had Narrow gauge moved to Florida !!,
I added the back-tabels so I could run the narrow.
The "modular" got smaller, as members lost interest, here, perhaps our smallest "set-up".
My new modules are 30" X 4'. Haven't had a chance to get an overhead shot of these......yet
There is a " 4X2 " behind the center 4X30", the two track rolling lift bridge, is close to the front edge of the " 4X2 ", in this picture.
Finally a shot of the " new modules " at a Fairground Show.
Just a hint of where " 4X2 " can go.
Hope to see more of your work
