COOL LAYOUT! If only you added a 7th stall to the round house, it would be perfect. By the way, got any tips for an O scale layout?

Post by: The Chaz Storm on December 06, 2009, 06:36:04 PM
You my friend have one of the best Thomas themed layouts I have EVER seen!!! 

Seriously, I love what you have done to make your layout the way it is and I love the vollmer shed kit you made there too.  I could honestly never tell you any tips or suggestions other than to keep up the good work with the layout.  And once the layout is fully completed, then it would be great if you made a video or two showing off your layout.  People on youtube will go crazy with the stuff you have made. :P 

Seriously though, well done!  Just wondering, are you thinking about getting Salty or any of the Hornby engines to add on to it?

No it won't... It's fine with just six stalls to keep up with the original series 1-7 (Which I have a feeling that is what he aimed for, (correct me if I'm wrong)). and it will be a hassle to add one more stall to that roundhouse as it is, I personally think that the roundhouse is fine the way it is.

That's pretty nice! I love the setup. I have some questions:

Are you using DCC?

What's the size of it? Sure looks pretty big!

So, is this your first layout?

Sparks,
Long time, no see! I see that your compliments are still rare. I do say that this layout deserved it!.  ;)

Cheers,
Joshua

11 thumbs up!

I like it a lot. The area including Tidmouth Sheds is great. The Whistle sign in front of the tunnel is a good touch as well. Do you have tracks leading up hill to get above the tunnel? It seems high up. I would like a bird's-eye-view of the whole thing. Many would I bet if it's all right with you. I'm excited for the hinted upcoming videos.

Very very nicely done.
