Description

Discussion of the design and construction of small model railroad layouts.

PLEASE NOTE WE DO NOT ACCEPT "SALES AND WANTS" ADVERTS - EBAY IS THERE FOR THEM.

This group is intended for the average model railroader who does not have an entire basement or even an entire room to devote to a layout. Here we will discuss smaller layouts -- table-tops, shelf layouts, micro-layouts, modules and modular layouts -- and how they can be designed and built for enjoyment and modelling satisfaction.

This is an example borrowed from Carl Arendt's excellent site http://carendt.us/scrapbook/linkindex/index.html and at http://carendt_backup.gully.org/

Due to past restrictions in file space, 3 separate groups had been set up for the sharing of design files.

By the way, we do not tolerate trolls or flaming
