So I decided to build a small layout on a left over piece of 2 inch insulation board. It is 2ft x 4ft. I don't have a layout yet but do have a pretty good collection of HO stuff. When I decided to do this, I started lookin for good deals on N-scale track and things. After accumulating 4 turnouts one cross-over and some roadbed I started. Here is my progres so far.



I am planing on keeping it really simple, just thought it might be a good place to try my hand at scenery and track laying and what ever else.

That is really cool. Keep the updates coming.

Looks like the beginnings of GLC's line from Cadillac to Yuma

Looks good fellow N-Scaler....

That's a great little N scale layout. You should add more spurs and industries on the corners and/or center of the layout. It would make it feel like a true railroad.

I respectfully disagree, leave the corners open, give it room to breath.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I do think I will leave the track plan as is. Being that it is pretty small to begin with, it is pretty cramped already. I only wish I had more time to work on it lately. Hopefully I'll have some more updates soon.

Looks like fun to build but not many options in the way of operation.

I guess that it all depends on if you want to operate trains or run toys around in a circle.

With a good imagination and another spur or two I would think an operating session could last an hour or so. The old switch a spur, make several laps, switch another spur, etc.

Kyle, you could do spurs for industries/ interchanges on the corners of your layout and one inside the passing siding. It's your layout and you choose how to run your railroad, but was just a suggestion.

Looks good to me, if you try and cram any more track in you'll start to get the "spaghetti bowl" effect.

Racer,

I always appreciate suggstions so don't hold back
