Broithe Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Any chance of seeing the 5 or 6 levels below this one please? Could do with a sort of Street View feature..! Quote

Dave Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 That's one amazing layout. Multi level is the way to go. Quote
A4mallard Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) kirley, since the hobo ride was taken i've put in 2 and a half levels above the starting point. i'll try and do another one from the bottom right to the top, however it could be quite boring at 30 mins. bren Edited September 20, 2012 by A4mallard Quote
BosKonay Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 The curves in the corners look lovely and smooth Bren - how did you handle the radii and spacing? Quote
Warbonnet Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 I'll try to take a video of all the levels next time I'm down. Bare in mind though that to watch trains on the top level a step ladder is required! Quote

WRENNEIRE Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Have to say I am not a big fan of these multi level layouts Remind me of car parks, not railway layouts Bit of scenery, a few buildings and a couple of trains going round in circles One thing I also like is a higher level layout, about 4'6" as opposed to 3' Look at the layout not down on it Just sayin................ Quote
A4mallard Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 The idea behind the multi levels was to have 3 levels of storage and the top 2 levels for scenery. It means I can run 8 trains on each track, and I can stand in the scenery section and watch them go by. Makes me feel like a trainspotter. Quote

BosKonay Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Are you getting an error on the upload? Quote
BosKonay Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Can I be the first to say "completely insane!!!!!!!" Quote
snapper Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I am at a loss for words to describe it. Moderators, can we please have a emoticon that directs my jaw dropping to the floor. Quote
Kirley Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Thank Bren for the still pictures. Now you can really see what a unique and novel project this is. I counted 17 storage tracks on one level alone. The workmanship on the planning and construction is excellent and while this layout may not be everyone ‘cup of tea’ may I congratulate you on being innovative and doing your own thing. It looks to me like a layout what will bring joy in the ‘running of trains’ and that can’t be bad in itself. Quote
A4mallard Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 kirley, you hit the nail on the head, for me, it's all about the 'running of trains'. thanks for the comments bren Quote
burnthebox Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 NOW THAT I'VE PICKED MY JAW UP OFF THE FLOOR, I SUPPOSE THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL A FIDDLE YARD, Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 That is some amount of track mileage there!Realistic long trains and plenty of operational scope,a modellers paradise,well done. Quote
heirflick Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 bren.......what the f... am i letting myself in for? great pics of a great layout! Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Bloody hell Bren has that grown since the last time I was down. Its looking great will there be scenery on all levels or just the top one. Will have to get a run down soon to give my new Duchess and EWS 66 a good haulage test. Keep up the good work Quote
A4mallard Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 It's taking shape Anthony, Only the top level will have scenery, I don't fancy ballasting 2000 plus ft of track..... Quote

Dave Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 A truly fantastic layout, great workmanship. How long are you working on it? Quote
