I had real trouble distinguishing the layout from what appear to be a man and his dog, if that is not a figurine as well. The photo-reality of this is most astonishing. And you say this is O gauge in a small space?? As to the imaginary vans, I run my American stuff under the same sort of thing: imaginary.

Hi Chops.

Yes the man and his dog are both figurines.

The lay out is 9' 6" x 2" (7'6" up to tunnel entrance). I did want a run off longer than 2' but it would mean removing the train room door and that would leave it exposed to 'raids' by young children and dogs :cry:

Thank you MG.

Yes the O gauge does run smoother and cope with points a lot better too. I also find it eaiser to work with now due to being able to se the larger scale better, however this is just an age thing :lol:

My wife and I have been making more trees and bushes for Shelby Wood Sidings. I spent yesterday evening gluing them in place.
