There are probably some readers on the forum who glance at the G scale section once in a while and say to themselves "Yeh, that stuff's OK, but I don't have room for it" I used to think of G scale the same way, until I built Green End Quarry. :camera: 39x18 inches, yes, that's three feet, three inches by one foot, six inches. Now don't you go saying you've not got room for G scale!
That's wonderful. I've seen huge layouts, in smaller scales, that didn't offer as many great photo locations. Thanks for letting us have a peek. Dave at www.wvrr.ca
Cheers Dave, I'm a little cramped for space, hence the small layout. I am also an incurable rubbergauger and micro layout fan, which doesn't help! I have been looking at "Winter Valley".... Oh for a bigger garden! Ours is a postage stamp sized concrete yard, home for my wife's potted plants. She lets me use it as a work area and for photography, but any request for a permanent layout meets with a decidedly hostile reaction! Still, that's where the joy of the internet comes into its own - we can share in all sorts of super layouts from the comfort of our computer desks. Regards, Bob
The micro-layout certainly has it's strong following. I have seen a few photos of these efforts. And the detail is always astounding. Nice work! :thumbs_up: Boxcab E50
Huge doesn't discribe my outdoor 'Mountain Division' today. I have a simple tear drop shaped loop about eight feet across and twelve feet long. Trains run through and around the rose bushes. It's as much fun to build and run as a really big layout and only offers one tenth the trouble. Enjoy. Dave
The amount of detail is GREAT!! Thanks for sharing. Just goes to show that great things do indeed come in small packages...even in large scale John
