The trials and tribulations of model railroading.

[Blackcloud Railways]

...the world is such a small place.

Maybe, but I still wouldn't want to have to paint it all.

Glad you like the microlayout. It has been exhibited a few times, usually with other micros on the same table but once on its own... I'm glad that was only a one day show!

Seriously though an Inglenook, even a tuning fork*, can be an interesting layout. It's just a matter of setting a realistic operating task such as giving cars pre-determined destinations then seeing how long it takes to get them on their spots.

* I'm currently working on an O scale narrow gauge railway pier with a tuning fork style track plan.
