Merry Christmas everyone! Here are some updates on my layout.

My layout as of now:


What do you think? And once again, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Very good Layout DinoNtrains, the sheds and knapford look wonderful. Merry christmas to everyone and a happy new year as well .

Wow! How big is that layout?

ThomasFan2013, my layout uses two 4x8's made into a "T". Plus, there is a small wedge at the right corner, as shown in the last photo you shared there Now I forgot, do you have a layout shown on this thread?

That looks cool!

I know that there are body kits available for most of the talyllyn engines to run on N scale track. These could be adapted into the Skarloey engines easily but the only problem is that the don't come with chassis and you have to buy them separately.

Here's a short video showcasing the final section of the layout: Tidmouth. Hope you enjoy this RWS-based location

WOW just WOW. Words do not begin to describe the sheer awesomeness of that layout, I see that a lot of work must have gone into it, and you should be very pleased with the result .

And since my profile picture is of Vegeta:
The awesomeness level is over nine THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAND!

Thank you very much! Very glad you enjoyed it

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been posting pics of my layout for months I've had a rather busy summer. So anyway, here are some pics I took today:

You'll see white Styrofoam track risers under the outside tracks. They're making my hill/mountain for my layout. I'm actually going to get a couple more sets of them and make a second incline for the inside track.


Due to the track risers protruding outwards, I moved Strickland Propane to the inside loop.


Here's Percy trying out the hill. He made it up the hill well, and even did so with a train of four Troublesome Trucks and a Brakevan.


Now here's Thomas with Annie and Clarabel. If you're wondering why there's a big gap between the risers, it's because I'm going to place another bridge there (like the truss bridge in the inner loop).


See the curved turnout near the bottom of the photo? It will lead to some sidings. I was initially going to place in a quarry or mine, but recently, I changed my mind. I now want to make it a yard.


So what do you think? And about the track risers in awkward places (as in not connected correctly), that's only because I just put them on to test them out. When my dad and I start work on that end of the layout, we'll make sure they're in correctly.

I am planning a new layout that is based from plans from an old MR, it's a small logging layout ( but not Misty Island ) that I'll take to expositions and run, so it'll be small, I will try to post photos when building it though, so keep an eye out.

BTW DinoNTrains, Your layout looks amazing, great job!

Thank you sodorfan!

A minor bump for this thread, my new 4x8 layout in the works.



This layout plan consists of Dryaw Station, and a goods yard seen in "Percy, James and the Fruitful Day."

I'll be posting updates on the layout on my blog at http://sodorblog.blogspot.com/, which is where I'll also post and archive simple, easy-to-do Thomas themed layout plans.

Coming along nicely, and great idea with the blog! Just a question, what is the Nissen Hut?

[thomasj219]

A Nissen Hut is a steel building in the shape of a half cylinder, in other words an airplane hanger. I'm assuming for Dryaw Airfield  very nice.
