    My first post... Here are some pics of my narrow gauge layout. The layout is being constructed in a 2400mm x 600mm x 600m box. Having failed in previous layout attempts (trying to take on too much), I am finding the smaller / compressed layout much more enjoyable. More pics to follow shortly.

    Here's the layout plan. I drew my inspiration for this layout from MMR Laurie Green who models in On3. His website (http://lauriegreensweb.com) has some fantastic diaramas and layout ideas.

    I find that the layout has the perfect balance between switching, and running locos (the lower level track loops around the back of the layout). At some point in the future the layout will loop through the upper line at the rear.

    Maybe a section in the back that would cross over making a double loop would be an idea? Make the run twice as long.

    Ophir Sidings is slowly progressing. I'm happy with the progress thus far. Architrees arrived today and make a nice addition to the layout. Bench work for the next section has been started.
