N scale Micro experiment
#1
About 6 weeks ago I decided I wanted to experiment with some new techniques, and I also wanted somewhere to run my growing collection of Norfolk and Western locos and stock. The result was the decision to build a micro layout.

I also decided that I would use only stuff I had lying around, that included a few lengths of Peco code 55 flex track (but no switches) and some left over parts from building kits. Everything else would have to be scratch built. The 'layout' is close to being finished now, it just needs a road bridge to hide the entracne to the layout from the staging traverser.

Let me know what you think.

I'm guessing 30" l X 14" w X 10" h Tongue

Good guess! The scenic area is 31" long, 12" deep, overall size 48" long, 15.5" deep which includes the 17" traverser and two 30" staging tracks at the back.

Fully functioning.
