Forum Member LURP DOG and I have been having a very interesting e mail conversation on small shelf RR's in On30 or O16.5. He had a great plan and I liked it so much I asked if I could do something close but not exactly the same.

I am not letting the cat out of the bag yet but my rr may be called "The Magical Mystery Tour". It will comply to the 48 square inch rule for a micro and will be set in 1968. Location some place with completely different scenery than my typical far Canadian north think hotter.

So you guys can start the guessing what I am thinking. It should be worth the price of admission just to see what you come up with.

Well no not really but keep guessing.

The track plan will be in the shape of a ? but that is not the real reason for the name.
