Now you've all stopped laughing... what do you think..??

No laughing here mate, I think its a wicked idea    You've done well to squeeze O gauge into that amount of space, and I like the style of presentation, shades of Villier Street perhaps?

Quick question or two - does the box have a roof and lights? If so, do you operate partly from the front and partly from the side / rear?

Clever idea to use the depth, I like it  as a bonus it should photograph well

Cheers

Nice idea for a compact layout, the viewing position is an inspired idea.

Brilliant

Love the wibbly track, the F units and the sheer audacity of 2' radius points.

Cheers for the replies Jordan 

It might be worth sticking a lid on it when you've cranked it up to the right height - I found on Dungeness it helped to reduce any colour cast by the exhibition hall as well as removing any distractions from the line of sight - just go with the flow when its all up and running.

[sub:2gqbdvsh]Mike; just waiting for the weather to warm up a bit... so the glue defrosts, let alone dries!! [/sub:2gqbdvsh]
Jordan I know the problem only too well, my evostick is now crystalline. Not many people can say that, but at least they can't touch you for it. ;D

Fantastic layout, there is something utterly fab about looking at locos "head on" and I do like a triangular jobbie.

Look forward to seeing this develop - I am partial to the odd Funit too

what a good idea it gives the impression of a full layout with out the full layout Simples

Nice idea Jordan  , it reminds me of a UK stabling point layout that was around a couple of years ago (who's name escapes me) which was a very similar viewing angle & shape..........an excelent idea that really works well  .
Could you tell us more about your DIY static grass thingybob ..........sounds better idea  than a second mortgage for the Noch one  :scratch:

That'll be Villier Street, as pointed out by Steve Cook in the second post in this thread and acknowledged by Jordan in the sixth...

Well if I didn't know the layouts name , I wouldn't have known that would I  :  ;D

 

[Simon Dunkley]

I didn't know the layout's name either - I just read the thread...

Every body wants a turkey baster for their ballasting you have to be different and want heat

Ian

 

[iploffy]

ere Jordan get yourself a chefs helmit and the turkey baster you to could be the chef from the muppets "hurt e burt e, hurt e burt e, hurt, hurt, hurt, chicken in the basket!!!! (said with a Swedish accent) then proceed to throw a live chicken through a basket ball hoop

CLASSIC

Ian

 

[iploffy]

Jordan,

I've just caught up with this thread and I have to say I'm loving the look and feel of what you're doing.  The SOO/Milwaukee 'Bandit' scheme loco is superb.  Have you got a stock list?

I could be tempted by a Trainman U23B with a re-spray into 'Bandit', just from looking at what you're doing here.  Well, it's either that or buying the bits to make an SDL39...!

Steph

 

[Steph Dale]

Jordan,

So it's the GP40 that's in 'Bandit'?  That looks a cracking piece of work.  Where did you get the decals?  I don't think Microscale do/did them for the ex-Milwaukee Soo Line scheme?
