0 dave182 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I love this little layout. It's in N gauge but could easily be translated into a 00 version. A single short inward facing siding could be included too for more operational interest. I'm always harping on about how the little details on a layout can make it stand out, and this video really has lots of little details that brings the scene to life! In 00 I'm guessing you would need about 3' x 3'6" maybe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Chevron Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) they are pretty neat. but where did the carriages come from after dropping off the coal wagons lol. but i love the idea of the coal wagons above shoots to drop coal on to barges. is it something similar to this that coal staite worked? Coal wagons dropped over and shovel'd overboard into a staite and the shovel'dinto a truck? Edited April 20, 2015 by Chevron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Noel Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 N gauge is a great scale for 'coffee table' displays. I don't think 00 gauge would work nearly as well for smaller displays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mayner Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 John Allen's Timesaver idea bit more interesting than an Inglenook has stood the test of time http://www.wymann.info/ShuntingPuzzles/Timesaver/timesaver-rules.html could be fitted into a fairly space in OO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
