TCWORLD- Quick summary of layouts.

[TCWORLD]

As all the layouts i have mad in the past (About 5 micro layouts), and my current Windowsill layout are all done i figured i would create a single thread with some pics of the all in it. As the majority are N or Z scale, N being my favourite as it is relatively tiny, so fits in my room.

So then, In time order, here are the pics:
First and foremost was the "N-Scale Disc" layout which started my building of layouts. The concept of it was to build as small of a round-and-round layout as possible. I was inspired when someone said that they used a CD-ROM as a turntable, at which point i thought - I know, why not build an entire layout on one. So the disk diorama series was born (A series of 4 layouts in 4 different scales, on 4 different types of disk - On which a train has to be able to run around it without and modification to the engine or rolling stock).
Here are some pic's: (More can be found on my website, as with all of the other layouts)




After the successful completion of the first disk, I thought, i can go smaller than this. The "Z-Scale Mini-disk" was born. An 8cm diameter mini-disc is now the home to a Z-scale addition to the disk series.
Piccy's:




With the Z-Scale one out the way, i realised i couldn't stop. Bring on the LP's (Old Records). A 33RPM 30cm diameter LP has been converted into an OO-Scale Logging layout. As this one is actually alot bigger proportionally to the rest, there was alot more room to try my hand at a bit of scenic work. I managed to fit the entirety of a logging layout into the space, from the mining camp at the top, to the logging pond and sawmill (Which was scratchbuilt from a pile of old matchsticks).
Some pictures:








However i wanted to test how small the gauges could physically go. Bring on HO-Scale on an 18cm "Single." To my amazement, it worked. The scenery somewhat failed due to lack of space, but the purpose of diorama succeded.
A couple of pics:



The disk series was then completed with a couple of none functional Dioramas. A pair of them on 3 1/2" Floppy-Disc's
Pictures:





There are however plans of the next great adventure. T-Scale. 3mm gauge 1/450 Scale. What disc could i possibly use. It has to be smaller than a Mini-disk, and cant be a floppy. I know, an SD Memory card.
(Layout coming to forums near you - when it's built that is, wont be for a while).

Completed Series so far:


After the disc series i made a small diorama as a Birthday present for my mum:




Finally, I come to my current layout. I have migrated from the miniature and gone for the Small. I wanted to build a large layout, however have no space in my room. As such I thought, I know, I'll build a layout on my windowsill. Interestingly, the first ever N-SCale train set i got (before I built any of the layouts), my parents let me buy because i convinced then that i could build a railway on my windowsill. I bought the set, and then did nothing with it (Except turn it into a tiny disc layout). But now, I've finally realised the dream, and my first proper layout is built. Of course I already have finished plans for the next one, but I'll stick to the current one for now.
Here is the general Plan:

Followed by some more recent pictures of the thing completed:


















Sorry about the lots of writing, I just thought i should introduce myself with an history of layouts. Anyway, I'll stop now before i accidentally lose everything i have just typed - knowing me that will happen if I'm not careful.
Bye.
