Here is the progress. This track requires patience and I may need to switch to plywood to build the layout to secure the track. It would still be 2x3. Turnouts are 10" and I have run a black beetle drive around the test track.

How are you fastening it down?

How are you fastening it down? George For now it is held down with 3m two sided tape. The instructions say super glue to a wood base. I think I will try pliobond to allow for repositioning the tracks with heat. It is all trial and error at this point in time.

That rail looks interesting. George Country: USA | Posts: 15334 acousticco Fireman Posted - 07/16/2014 :  02:19:40 AM       Larry, that's a great track plan, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with it. I mentioned elsewhere (http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=43199) that I've got a couple pieces of motive power started for this project, which means the scale/gauge has beed decided on, as well as a theme. I'm planning an On30 electric tramway based in some tropical place, probably an agricultural line, sugar cane most likely. There will be some ramshackle passenger operations too I'm sure. I am going to keep on with my dystopian idea too, but it will be subtle. Like I said I've already got the board and a bare minimum of track, I just have to start laying it down..! -Cody Country: Canada | Posts: 1673 Chris333 Engine Wiper Posted - 07/16/2014 :  03:05:06 AM     I'm not trying to enter, but thought I'd show this small N scale layout I built based on this: http://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=32315.0 It is 16"x26": Country: | Posts: 276 Tyson Rayles Moderator Premium Member Posted - 07/16/2014 :  08:12:58 AM     Wow! Very nicely done! Country: USA | Posts: 12987 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/16/2014 :  09:16:00 AM     Chris, That id exactly what I was thinking about when we started this thread. Please feel free to post details of your build here for inspiration.

Thanks for showing us. Country: USA | Posts: 23102 jefbar Section Hand Posted - 07/16/2014 :  09:47:34 AM     I love the idea, and you got me hooked. Starter, so I know I won't be able to complete in a reasonable time frame, but definitely will use the idea to cut my teeth. Good luck all. Looking forward to seeing what gets done. Country: USA | Posts: 72 jschumaker Fireman Posted - 07/16/2014 :  10:17:48 AM     Nice work, Chris. What could you do with a similar trackplan in HOn30? Jeff S. Country: USA | Posts: 1658 Chris333 Engine Wiper Posted - 07/16/2014 :  2:14:05 PM     This is HOn30. 13.5"x24": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbhA16PaGdE I never finished the HOn30 layout though...And then I copied it down into Nn3 9"x16" ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pQ9nC7hsKk Country: | Posts: 276 Chris333 Engine Wiper Posted - 07/16/2014 :  2:23:34 PM     Actually the the HOn30 and Nn3 layouts were copied from a On30 2'x3' layout I started a long time ago.
