Over the years, I have built layouts in O-scale, S-scale, HO-scale, TT-scale, and N-scale, and am working on plans for an Outdoor layout, which will cover two-third of the "field" I have access to. This field measures 460' long by 300' wide, and has been staked for the house I am going to build, plus other buildings, one of which will be used for hydroponics. The layout will use a track gauge of 18", and the cars will be large enough for "Full-sized" people to ride. The plan will have a "Cut" through a "man-made hill", a long trestle bridge, (built of steel), and will have scale buildings for when "humans" are enjoying the ride. All of the locos and rolling stock will be built by hand, except for those units which might be made in some company's shop. I will let every one know more, as plans progress.

Im trying to design I want to incorporate a layout that includes a small village, a cole mine on top of a hill. , a river whose source is a lake atop a small mountain, a dockside for some ships with some factory/storage units next to it and some roads for access. Have I enough room to do all this on my baseboard, I'm working on dcc. I made a ho layout last year but did not have any room, have you any ideas for me. Thank you.

I have started my first big one (26x16x28 l shaped) and I'm having problems with scenery painted on walls. It don't look right when I get it all done. I have had small layouts with no scenery, just track going all over, but this one will be permanent, and I probably won't get it finished before I leave this old world, but I love messing with it. Hope when I get it done it at least looks a little bit real. If you ever get to U.S.A, would love to see your models in person. Thanks for showing what can be done.

I have been working on a z scale model with my grand kids for almost a year trying to get good detail. The main problem is working with such a small scale and their isn't much printed in English about building the Marklin z scale wiring. The other thing is the voltage difference between Europe and US voltage. Thanks! I’m really impressed with the detail in the photos.
