Fat City Boat Yard
#1
Hello,

I am a Modeler from Germany, I have a new layout in progress, "Fat City Boat Yard". It is a compact switching plant...
1 x 30x100cm, 1 x 30/45 x 100cm and 1 x 45 x 100cm. For exhibitions I connect by one Black Box with my Fat City layout,
on the right side comes the Fiddle-Yard. The Track is ready...

Welcome Alexander! Glad you could join us! Your layout looks like a winner to me with the car float and the lift bridge making interesting elements. I'm looking forward to seeing it develop.

Looking back through your site, I realize I've been following along for about 4 years as well. You have the ultimate hobby production system going on there. All those layouts, plus slotcars and biking, wow! Boat yard's looking great.

Sorry Alexander,
What I meant was are you adding the layout in this thread onto the layout that appeared in the micro layout website?
