It's not nececery. The beauty of that is that you can build whatever you want and put that together whatever you want. For example I have a space 5x3 meters. I will fix there 2 end stations + nice peace of curved and straight tracks. if you have enough space you can make it as a round layout, if you are limited in space, you can do end to end one. The most important is that you do not need a massive space to build it. You can see on my photos, that I'm usually work on single module at the time. They are easy to store and you can put them together when you want. Imagine the track from the living room, passing trough the kitchen, then to the hall, ending in the porch I think it's ideal when you want to start the hobby. Meetings in bigger groups is the game changer at some point that's for sure, but it's not essential. 1 Quote

murphaph Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Is TT gauge as popular in Poland as it is in the former GDR? I live outside Berlin in what was the former GDR. Half the stuff in my local model shop is TT but over the "border" in the former West Berlin you don't see nearly as much, even 30 years after reunification it's still N and H0 there! Quote

jhb171achill Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 WOW!! Was considering that myself, with an opportunity presented by a recent house move, but went for the attic instead, due to prior claims on garden space by the Dept. of Domestic Matters following a prior, and successful application to the DoDM by Mr. Dog to have use of the space...... Looks amazing - what size is it? 1 Quote
Noel Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Like the look of that, especially the baseboard construction. Best wishes for many relaxing and enjoyable hours in there. Quote
