The plan was to initially build it as a layout in its own right, but with the possibility of incorporating it in a bigger layout. Unfortunately life intervened and I never got around to doing it. Now I have a lot more space and the requirement is no longer there. However, I still fancy doing it, but this time it would be American image N gauge.

My layout isn't built yet as I'm still building my mancave,it's 5x4m so should be good size but still finishing it off internally. Plasterboard finished on walls today and hope to get power switched on in next couple of weeks and some finishing touches then it's time to build base boards
Hanging a layout on the back of a door when not in use is a useful storage solution especially if in rented accommodation where drilling holes in walls may not be allowed. A standard internal door is 6’ 6” x 30” using the type of hangers people use to hang Christmas wreaths on doors mean you do not need to drill holes in the door. The downside is being limited to the height of scenic features and making sure the door does not swing against a wall or a piece of furniture. An n-gauge oval can easily be accommodated within the confines of a door size layout and n-gauge scenic items are usually low.

Converting imperial to metric for a standard internal door is 198 x 76cm in ball park figures
